Lool , yes those hala chicken spots in Uk are nice , i went there after staying in US for about 4 years n we didnt have any fried chicken spots in US except for HFC halal fried chicken in chicago which was close but not that good to be honest , so when i went to london i was amazed to see places like cottage chicken n sfc n all , specialy the hot chicken wings , pretty nice , i remmber on edgware they had a SFC and it had a really nice deal , two chicken fillet burgers for 2 pounds! that was nice , filed me up real good.
But chicago does have good desi food , places like sabri nihari n usmania n even ghareeb nawaz n sultan palace n that halal italian spot with gyros n all are all nice, actually best desi food i have ever had , even better than here n UAE or PAK , even though i havent seen much of pak im sure lahore n karachi have great food , i have mostly been to peshawre n kohat n the frontier province.
by the way if u are close to birmingham , there is a pathan spot , called khayber or something , its pretty good , THEY HAVE THE BIGGEST ROTI I HAVE EVER SEEN , they actually give it to u hanging from a hook and a stand! coz its so BIG! n amazing namkeen mutton karahi n chapli kabab .... dont know if anyone knows the name of that spot exactly , sarhad something or khyber something cant reacall was there in 2007 so been a while.
