Halal Yum — Restaurant in Mississauga

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Halal Yum, a unique pizza and wings shop that offers a delightful fusion of traditional and contemporary flavors. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of our visit was perfect.

What truly sets Halal Yum apart is their innovative menu, particularly the Qalandari Pizza and Chat Masala Wings. As someone who loves both pizza and wings, I was excited to try these unique offerings, and they did not disappoint.

The Qalandari Pizza is an absolute masterpiece. It features a perfectly baked crust that strikes the ideal balance between crispiness and chewiness. The base is generously topped with a rich and aromatic Qalandari sauce, which combines a blend of spices that tantalizes the taste buds with every bite. The toppings are fresh and vibrant, with juicy pieces of beef, pepperoni, onions, and a sprinkle of cilantro that adds a refreshing note. The pizza is finished with a drizzle of a special house-made mushroom sauce, which adds a creamy tang that complements the spices beautifully. Every bite is a harmonious explosion of flavors that left me craving more.

The Chat Masala Wings were equally impressive. These wings are marinated in a flavorful mix of chat masala and other spices, then cooked to perfection. The exterior is wonderfully crispy, while the meat inside remains tender and succulent. The chat masala coating provides a zesty and slightly tangy flavor that is both addictive and satisfying. Served with a side of cooling mint chutney, these wings are a perfect blend of heat and refreshment. They are the ideal appetizer or accompaniment to the Qalandari Pizza.

In addition to the standout pizza and wings, the rest of the menu at Halal Yum is equally enticing. They offer a variety of pizzas, wings, and sides that cater to different tastes and preferences, all infused with a creative twist that keeps you coming back for more. The drink selection is also noteworthy and refreshing.

Overall, my experience at Halal Yum was nothing short of exceptional. The Qalandari Pizza and Chat Masala Wings are must-tries for anyone looking to experience a unique and delicious fusion of flavors. Whether you're dining in with friends and family or ordering for a cozy night in, Halal Yum is a top-notch choice that guarantees satisfaction. I can't wait to return and explore more of their...

My husband and I ordered the Tehzeeb Tandoori pizza from the Hurontario street location. We had a few issues (which I will touch on after my MAJOR issue), but the number one problem was that our pizza had a ring of basically raw, inedible dough just before the crust line. I was literally pulling that section of dough off my pizza because the texture was extremely off-putting. I emailed the company, and assumed I would hear back in 48hrs (as it states when you contact them). Well. 2 days went by. Nothing. I emailed again telling them I had emailed with my problem and had heard nothing back. 2 more days go by. Again, nothing. I emailed them a third time.. we'll see if I ever hear back. I am BEYOND unimpressed with the service of this establishment.. even less impressed than I was with our undercooked pizza. Other (more minor, but still should be reported) issues included - time. When we ordered our pizza, the guy that took our order told us 10 minutes (I was surprised, as I had assumed it would take longer). I sat and waited. My husband went outside for a cigarette. And we waited. And waited. We were there about 20-25 minutes (which wasn't a huge deal. I was just displeased about that because the guy told us it would be 10 minutes). We got the pizza home and opened it. Despite NOT being listed on the menu, there were green peppers and red onion all over the pizza (I eat neither and would have ordered it without those if I had known, so, I spent several minutes picking the undesired toppings off my pizza.) and VERY little chicken. While I thought the flavours were pretty good, and I would try this restaurant a second time based on flavours alone; the lack of customer service has left an awful impression. (I also strongly disliked that there was a family eating in the restaurant, and ALL of the dishes provided were disposable.)

Positive - clean restaurant, nice decor.

UPDATE - I HAVE NOW EMAILED THIS COMPANY FIVE TIMES! (I'm doubtful they'll ever respond, but, curious how long they'll wait before they finally decide to touch base. Service in this regard is the absolute worst I have...

Food is decent, but this place is a living nightmare. If I could give zero stars, I would — and even that would feel too generous.

We called ahead, reserved a spot like any normal functioning restaurant expects. We show up (yes, slightly late), and there’s a full-sized hippo lounging in our seat like it’s their personal throne. And the staff? With the audacity of Olympic-level gaslighters, they say, “Sorry, you were late.” So apparently, at this establishment, if you’re not on the dot, they throw your name in the trash and hand your spot to the next oversized circus act that waddles in.

The entire place is a joke. Chaos everywhere. Staff running around like they’re trying to put out a fire with gasoline. No one knows what they’re doing, no one communicates, and everyone — including customers — seems like they’re just angry to exist. You could film a documentary on human dysfunction in here.

Let’s talk cleanliness. Or should I say, the complete absence of it. The floor looks like it lost a fight with a garbage truck, and the tables? Sticky, messy, disgusting. Don’t even get me started on the washroom — it’s the gold-plated entrance to hell. Smells like a sewer had a baby with a dead raccoon, and somehow they thought a few paper towels would fix it. I walked in and instantly walked back out, questioning all my life decisions.

I genuinely feel bad for the food. It deserves better than to be served in this disaster of a dungeon. The chef is the only competent person within a 10-mile radius, and even they should run before this place collapses under its own dysfunction.

I would rather eat a meal in a dumpster during a thunderstorm than ever step foot back in here. And if I ever come back, it’ll be because I’ve rented the entire building, kicked out every last staff member and customer, and personally disinfected every inch of the place.

Final verdict: Food: 4.5/5 Service, atmosphere, hygiene, management, professionalism, peace of...
