Halal Meat and Seafood Unlimited

Great personnel, many authentic middle eastern items, and of course, great halal meat

Awesome Halal meat and groceries shop I ever seen. Very clean, must visit for fresh meat and seafood.

This place is amazing. They sell increadibly fresh locally raised 100 percent grass fed beef, lamb, and goat as well as locally raised chicken at great prices in a clean, well run full service butcher shop. I went in one day to check it out because I was looking for fresh goat meat which can be hard to find except in ethnic markets. Little did I know that I would find a new source for all my meat and poultry and that it is so much better tasting than any other meat that I have bought since moving to Maryland 9 years ago. I have tried so many other sources for high quality meat and chicken and always been dissapointed. Whole Foods (not fresh, quite expensive), the Takoma Park Farmers Market (frozen meat, lots of waste on the cuts, and so expensive), Dutch Country Farmers Market (not grass finished, mediocre flavor and texture), Polyface Farm (inconvenient, sold frozen, mediocre flavor, and in very high demand and short supply). Ugh! What’s a cook to do?
The answer, as it turns out, is to head to this modest shop located in a less-​than-​posh neighborhood and to keep an open mind and let your good sense be your guide. Not Muslim? Neither am I, but there is nothing required by the dietary laws of Islam that is detrimental to the freshness, cleanliness, or taste of the meat. There is no language or cultural barrier to overcome. Both the butcher and shop owner speak perfect English and have been welcoming, friendly, helpful, and polite to me since the first moment I walked in the door. You simply must try this place and let the cleanliness of the work area (in full view of the customers), the taste of the meat and chicken (all my food tastes 10 times better with their products than anyone elses), and the reasonable prices speak for themselves.
Icing on the cake is the fact that you get a full service butcher shop at no extra charge. All the meat is cut fresh on demand just for you. Want it ground? They do it fresh for you while you watch. No pink slime, no nasty bits from dozens of animals all miixed together, and they can customize the amount of fat that you want in the mix. Want the bone (s) removed? Chicken skinned? Leg of lamb cut into nice clean pieces ready for the stew pot? No problem. The butcher does it all quickly and cleanly the way you want it while you watch. How nice is that? Oh, I am so spoiled and now can never be happy with supermarket meat again.
They are open starting at 10 AM every day of the week, but the last delivery of the week is on Friday afternoon and they do not get their next delivery until late Tuesday, so I prefer to avoid Mondays and Tuesdays to maximize freshness.
They are a new locally owned small business, although the butcher has more than twenty years experience at other shops, and are working hard to build up a customer base. So head on over there and check it out. I’m glad I did!
