There’s something I don’t quite understand about nasheeds being played at restaurants. I wrote about this in my review for Kobe Sizzlers in Leicester. Fast forward a few months later and I found myself at another restaurant playing nasheeds, this time in London over breakfast at The Gourmet Hut. This small Whitechapel burger joint serves breakfast on weekends and it’s definitely different to the standard halal full English breakfasts one gets across London.

The service as a whole was good but I wasn’t a fan of the nasheeds playing over the speakers. Hearing ‘no matter where you are, Allah knows’ doesn’t really create the best ambience in a restaurant.
Breakfast is served from 10am to 3pm on weekends.
