Halal Eats Vancouver - FYI: La Cocina Tortilla Chips and Tortilla

✅Halal

The Halal Eats Admin team had sent an email inquiry to La Cocina company on whether their products were Halal or Kosher friendly. While they made no claim of being Halal or Kosher as they could not provide any Halal certification, they did mention that there were no animal products or ingredients used for making their tortilla chips or corn tortillas. The enzymes used are plant derived. Please see the screenshot of the email for further proof. We appreciate the company for being transparent and answering our questions. JazakAllah khairan.

🚨 First time review! New restaurant serving halal food! 🚨

Restaurant #202: Pakka Local Indian Cuisine
Address: 8840 120 St, Surrey, BC
Halal meats served
No pork on their menu

What was ordered:

• Dynamite chicken
• Haleem
• Shaadiwala chicken
• Zafrani chicken
• Juicy chicken mandi
• Mutton dum biryani
• Shahi tukra with rabiri
• Kaddu ka kheer
• Gulab jamun

Drinks/mocktails:

• Rooh-E-Hyderabad
• Saudi champagne

The Halal Eats Admin team were invited to newly opened Pakka Local Indian Cuisine restaurant located in Surrey. All meats are supplied by 2-Sisters halal division. The restaurant is owned by the same people that run the Dhamaka restaurant in Vancouver. They specialize in Hyderabadi, Mughlai, and Telugu cuisines. All food ordered was complimentary.

The dynamite chicken was absolutely delicious. It was spicy and packed with flavour. Definitely a must try. The Haleem and the zafrani chicken were much mild compared to the other dishes but also tasted really good.

For dessert we had Shahi tukra with rabiri. It wasn’t my kind of dessert. The surprise of the day was just how good the khaddu ka kheer was. I’m normally not a fan of khaddu but this kheer was top notch. One of the best I’ve had in town. A must try. The Gulab jamons were also delicious.

The mocktail drinks were also very unique and thirst quenching. The rooh e Hyderabad a hint of lychee juice, rose syrup, lemon, mixed with sprite. The Saudi champagne had more of a citrus sweet taste. It’s hard to decide which one I liked more.

Please note that alcohol is served at the restaurant.

We thank the owners of the restaurant for their generosity, hospitality and invitation. We wish and pray for their success.

All-you-can-eat Hot Pot Restaurant with Halal options!

Restaurant #205: Chocho Hot Pot
Address: 4361 Kingsway # 4A, Burnaby, BC
Halal: Partial (they have halal chicken, beef, lamb)
Alcohol/pork served: Yes

Last week, the Halal Eats team were invited to Chocho hot pot in Burnaby. They wanted to showcase their halal options, as they have the same concept as their Katy, Texas location. They assured us plenty of times of no cross contamination, taking into consideration the seriousness of this aspect. I was invited to see their kitchen and inspect the area where the halal friendly broths were made. The non-halal broths and items were cooked and prepared in a separate designated area away from the halal area. I posted a photo of that area, and more will be seen in our TikTok video.

The staff are well trained and very accommodating to assure all questions regarding which items are halal for consumption were answered and to provide guidance assuring we were ordering the correct things. When in doubt, just ask one of their friendly servers.

The halal options will be available at their Burnaby and Richmond locations starting on November 10!

Please note, I never said this was a halal restaurant. It’s a restaurant that has halal meat options. It’s up to you if you want to accept those options.
