What is the Monterey Halal Market?
Located at 825 Hamilton Ave, this restaurant cum butcher shop is just off Fremont Boulevard and is owned and run by Seaside resident Mike Bay. The restaurant specializes in Halal beef, chicken, and lamb dishes.
If you’re unaware, Halal means permissible under Islamic dietary rules. Along with offering various Middle Eastern specialties like falafel, shawarmas, and gyro rolls, the place also acts as a butcher shop from where you can buy Halal meat perfect for home preparation and consumption.
Bay takes special pride in creating dishes from the freshest locally sourced ingredients and provides authentic and unique tastes and flavors with his food. This is partly owing to his mother’s recipes which Bay primarily follows while preparing his dishes. He also has ten years of experience as a trained Hilton Chef, which helps him execute recipes with the utmost skill.
He is also a courteous and welcoming host who is known for his kindness and excellent hospitality.
