The restaurant, located at The Westin Book Cadillac Detroit, offers a completely halal menu and represents a significant addition to Detroit&#8217;s expanding halal food landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Innovative Halal Cuisine Concept<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fully Halal and entirely alcohol-free, the restaurant features an impressive selection of mocktails, specialty coffees, and traditional Yemeni teas. Owner Maher Obeid has created a dining concept that combines traditional soul food with Middle Eastern influences, demonstrating how halal cuisine continues to diversify and expand across different culinary genres.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The menu showcases creative adaptations of classic brunch items. Because it&#8217;s a halal restaurant, there&#8217;s no pork sausage or bacon, but instead your choice of beef bacon, turkey bacon or chicken sausage. Chicken and waffles will be a featured item on the Haus of Brunch menu, prepared according to halal standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Prime Downtown Location and Atmosphere<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Located inside the Westin Book Cadillac right on 204 Michigan Avenue, we&#8217;re all about making your day a little better with good food and a relaxed vibe.
