AL AQSA HALAL RESTAURANT / ISLAMABAD GROCERY & MEAT

Wow! An absolute staple and must visit in Meriden. The owner is so kind and welcoming. I ordered butter chicken, samosas, and lamb/chicken over rice. I could eat this every day!!

Holy moly- SO GOOD. My new go-to spot for sure!! I have driven by Al Aqsa for years and didn’t know what it was, and finally popped in today! I am so sad I missed all these years without knowing about this place! I got the chicken and rice along with a potato samosa and a chicken one. Also bought a box of dates and peanut brittle- the whole front is a store! Owner was incredibly nice and friendly, and broke down the entire menu for me! Be sure to give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!

I went for my first time today and ordered takeout of goat biryani and lamb/chicken mix gyro. After I tried it I called the store back and told the chef how delicious I think it is. The last time I had biryani this good it was at a south asian community center event where peoples grandmas was making it. Im just a white guy but this is up there with the best authentic iv had. Everythings seasoned right and the meats are fresh and juicy. This is the soul food that is hard to find unless ur in new york. Meriden wallingford area is very fortunate to have access to this. Big respect much love thank you Acki. * I went back and had the mixed lamb chicken over rice, and the chicken masala. Both very good.

Delicious food and amazing service! I stopped by Al Aqsa Halal Restaurant in Wallingford and tried their gyro, and it was absolutely delicious — super flavorful, juicy, and perfectly seasoned! The portion was generous and came with warm pita, fresh salad, and creamy sauces that tied everything together. The place was clean, the staff was really kind and welcoming, and you can tell they take pride in their food. Definitely one of the best halal spots in the area — I’ll be coming back to try more from their menu!

The people are so friendly and treats me like I am a part of the family. Awesome food as well. Really reasonable price for 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ food. The best Mediterranean food in Wallingford. Good selection of spices for adventurous cooking something different...
