Let's Talk Food… Girl let me put you on Pt.1





South Philly  was where I spent the first 10 years of my life. Growing up my neighborhood was very diverse, filled with many different cultures. There were Italians , Asians , Mexicans, Indians ,Africans ,and white Americans. I'd like to think a lot of my outgoing , kind hearted, and extroverted personality was shaped here. With such a mix of cultures in the community you know what that means …. A variety of different food spots too. So today I wanna put you on sis this gem of a restaurant one I frequented quite a bit this past year. Located just a few blocks north of my old middle school this restaurant is called Saffron Patch: Authentic Indian Cuisine. The food here is packed with flavor, spice , and is just plain olé good. This place being halal and vegetarian friendly was a perfect pick for me. Sometimes I like a good vegetarian / vegan moment too. I started to become a regular here so much so the waiters remembered me and my order. They were always so courteous , polite, and  attentive. The environment is music- free and the dining area was seldom ever crowded (Sn: they do always seem to be very busy with the take out orders). The bathrooms were very clean and the decor was stylish , and well  the food was Amazinggg! My first time dining I was accompanied with my sister , cousin , and little baby nephew.   For our appetizers we started with some samosas followed by the chicken 65 (my little sisters favorite) , with garlic cheese naan , and butter chicken  The Chicken 65 is basically chicken sliced and fried and coated in this spicy , semi sweet sauce topped with fresh cilantro and served with rice. The Butter Chicken is chicken roasted and tossed in a creamy tomato sauce. Though the first time we didn't get to really enjoy the full dining experience because my nephew was teething ,but the food was actually pretty good even reheating at home. I also  I tried on a separate occasion the Indian Buffalo wings (sweet with a kick of spice) , Garlic Shrimp , Yahkni soup (my favorite ),Mulligatawny Soup (lentil soup with fresh herbs and lemon, which was delish of course) and my absolute favorite the Lamb Pasanda paired with the Garlic Cheese Naan. One thing I really liked was you can choose your level of spice in some of the dishes or just simply opt to have none at all. The lamb Pasanda is tender lamb cubes  in a creamy almond sauce with spices. The rice was nice and fluffy and the portion size was great enough for two people or you could take some to go as well. Overall I enjoyed my experience. Great food , vibes , and great service. 10 outta 10 would recommend.




Thanks For Reading Sis*

🌙Eid Getaway: Canada 🧳

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته أختي   مرحباً   Hey Sista, It’s been a minute... Eid Mubarak to All! Ramadan—the most beautiful of guests—has come and gone. I pray it was merciful to you, rewarding, and full of light. I pray your fasts were accepted, your duas heard, and that Allah continues to shower you in His mercy. As for me, this Ramadan was one I’ll never forget. I met amazing sisters, shared heartfelt iftars, and reconnected with beautiful souls I hadn’t seen in a while. One highlight was attending Abaya Mall , a beloved event here in my city. When I say packed , I mean shoulder-to-shoulder, mashaa’Allah! Sisters were getting henna done, selling homemade sea moss drinks, pastries, and those viral Arabian perfumes and air fresheners (you know the ones that linger in the best way). Of course, the stars of the show were the abaya vendors—Baytul Hayaa and Covered in Modesty. (Sis, support your sisters—I'll link their shops below!) I left with a warm pastry and a bottl...

Blog Entry #??? Date: August 3, 2024 Location: Al Salaam City, Egypt As Salaamu Alaykunna, My Beautiful Sisters — Ahlan Wa Sahlan, Welcome! It’s been a while since my last entry, so I thought I’d try something new. Just me interviewing myself—reflecting and reconnecting with y’all in a chill, real way. Nothing too formal, just a little sit-down to catch up. Q: So, how are you? Where have you been? A: Alhamdulilah, I’ve been good. My travel cup is full and honestly, running over. It’s been beautiful. I’ve had to remind myself often— girl, be present , soak it all in, because soon enough I’ll be back home, probably missing it. I got to spend Eid Al-Adha in Toronto, Canada, which was special. Then not long after, I made my way here to Cairo. Now I’m in my final week in Egypt and just taking it all in. Alhamdulilah for everything. Q: What’s the most memorable dish you’ve made since we last heard from you? A: Definitely this salad I used to make almost every day back home. ...

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته أختي   مرحباً   Fall Reflections It’s October 30th, 2025. It’s been officially fall for a month now. I haven’t written any blog posts in a while… I miss you all, and frankly, there’s been a lot on my mind. This season is by far one of my favorites, but I don’t think I’ve been doing myself justice. I haven’t taken my usual walks in nature or jumped and stomped on the leaves like I usually do. Thankfully, we still have some time,  In shaa Allah. I’ve gone through some serious changes recently. I moved, and with relocating comes— you guessed it— unpacking, redecorating, reacclimating, and pretty much the whole nine yards. It has been such a metamorphic experience. I’m slowly getting used to waking up in a new place and enjoying all this newfound peace here — it’s truly amazing. I’ve also been very occupied with my book club, which has been going strong since the summer. We’ve already read three books, and we’re currently reading  Whe...
