SO HALAL — Restaurant in Decatur

So Halal is everything soul food is supposed to be comforting, flavorful, and made with love. From the moment I opened my box, I could tell the food was cooked with intention. The mac and cheese was perfectly creamy, the yams were sweet and buttery, and the collard greens tasted like somebody’s auntie was in the back making sure they came out right. The chicken was seasoned all the way through not just on the outside and they truly mean it when they say halal.

There’s heart in this food. You can taste it.

The portions are generous, the flavors are bold, and it feels like a home cooked Sunday dinner without having to clean the kitchen afterwards. If you’re in Decatur and want real soul food done right, So Halal is the one.

I left So Halal feeling full, happy, and taken care of. The food reminded me of family gatherings comforting, slow-cooked, and deeply seasoned. It’s rare to find a place where every single dish on the plate is good, but they do it. You can tell they cook with intention and pride. I love that they bring halal options to soul food in a meaningful and respectful way. Beautiful experience. I’ll...

After seeing this ghost kitchen on social media, I had to try it out. I purchased the macfish, chicken bowl, and the hibiscus rose water. I am very pleased. I am a hibiscus drink snob and the rose water here was the best I have tasted in Atlanta. It was refreshing and flavorful without losing the hibiscus integrity. 10/10 Next, the macfish. This is a large sandwich and can be split between 2 or 3 people. The catfish was cooked amazing and the Mac and cheese was good. I would have liked more glaze on the fish, but that is where you get into trouble with calories. Haha. The bread was soft and just overall an 8/10. The sweet chili pepper chicken bowl was great. The sweet pineapple, the spicy peppers, and flavorful rice and chicken was a great combination. This dish was amazing, but I did not get any yum yum sauce drizzled which was disappointing. I also could have used more sauce but again, you gotta watch the sauces for those calories. 8/10.

I highly recommend checking this ghost kitchen out. I will be back to try some other options and also grab...

I’ve ordered from here twice through DoorDash. My first order was solid — definitely a 4/5 experience. I got the oxtails with greens, yams, and cornbread, plus the peach cinnamon roll and a lemonade. The oxtails were phenomenal, the yams very good, and the greens were excellent — honestly a 10/10. My only complaints that time were that the oxtail portions felt a little inconsistent (small and big at the same time, hard to explain) and I did not care for the cornbread.

My second order felt more like a 3/5. I tried the fish with spaghetti and another side of greens. The fish was really good, but the spaghetti was just okay and had an odd smell after a couple days. The greens, which were perfect the first time, were only a 5–6/10 this time around. The peach cinnamon roll was still tasty, but I didn’t care much for the peaches in it.

Overall, I’d definitely go back — especially for the oxtails and the fish (just not paired with the spaghetti). I do wish the quality of the greens was more consistent, because the first time they...
