Crave Restuarant (Halal/Chill)

Crave The Restaurant

730 North Brookhurst, Anaheim, CA 92801

This is a halal restaurant down on Brookhurst and Crescent (In the Home Depot/Staples plaza). This was a snazzy restaurant, especially being a halal restaurant. (no offense but most halal restaurants I've seen tend to have the plastic lawn chairs for their decor). This little restaurant actually had nice decor and nice booths, which gave it a really nice atmosphere.

As far as the food is concerned, they had a wide variety of choices ranging from Mexican, fried chicken, burgers, sandwiches, and breakfast, yes I repeat they had breakfast!! Anyone craving halal bacon and eggs? (ooohhh they also had paazokie!) This is a completely halal restaurant, the nice part is they have food that young people would actually enjoy! Such as philly cheese steak, fried chicken, buffalo wings, tacos, pazookies, etc.

Our experience:
We went in on a random Friday night (oh, by the way they are open way late, which is an amazing plus!) When we walked in, we were impressed by the atmosphere, it was welcoming and trendy. The host was really nice and so were the cooks.

I ordered the "Rayflex grilled chicken burger" and my husband ordered the "Sam Friday burger". We also ordered the "Roaring wings". The grilled chicken burger was relatively healthy, lettuce, onions, tomato, and pickles on the side. However, the chicken was quite bland, which was disappointing because I was expecting something "chat-pata" (spicy) since it was a "desi" restaurant. For a grilled chicken burger, it wasn't the best we've had, but neither the worst, so we are rating it mediocre.

As far as the "Sam Friday Burger" it contained onions, jalepenos, lettuce, tomato, hot sauce, and cheese. It was like easting a burger from "Carl's Jr" but it wasn't so messy, since it was quite saucy. The meat wasn't overly done either which was surprising since "desi's" like to overkill on meat when cooking it, so it was cooked just enough. I would rate the burger a rating of mediocre.

The wings were spicy but kind of soggy, which made them not so enjoyable, also they were served kinda of cold, so you lost some of the taste of the wings, however their potatoes wedges were tasty crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside those were served hot.
