Franklin Halal Market

Halal is the Islamic term that means the meat is lawful to eat for a Muslim believer. What makes it lawful or acceptable is that the meat has been processed in a very specific way. Now you know. And the next time your Muslim friend is eating a Big Mac you can call him out on his hypocrisy and let him know that last time you checked McDonald’s doesn’t have Halal butchers.
I digress.
They have a decent deli on one corner that sells Sambusas, Mandhaazi and other appetizers but this place is fantastic for one and one reason only in my opinion, the Eriterian/​Oromo/​Ethiopian/​Somalian/​Indian herbs and spices that they sell. I am someone that likes to experiment with different spices when I cook and when I lived in the Seward neighborhood not that long ago, this was the place.
