Herbe cafe on Burwood Road, Hawthorn opened a year ago and is Muslim-run. I really like it when we enter a halal cafe and are greeted with “Assalamualaikum” and told that everything on the menu is halal. This small, clean cafe provides a breakfast menu followed by a lunch menu starting at 11.30 am. There is no excessive decor but aesthetic writing which might be said to be the cafe’s motto: “Herbe, turning ordinary into extraordinary”. Because we arrived at 11:30, we went for the lunch menu though their breakfast menu looked delicious too. I ordered a lamb bowl with basmati rice, salad and sauce which they said was spicy but didn’t seem spicy to our Asian palettes – maybe a little more kick was needed in the dressing. As my daughter is now vegetarian, she ordered one of two plant based options in the cauliflower bowl with yoghurt and mint. We also ordered cappuccinos which were quite delicious, and as usual I chose the large cup. The service is very friendly, and the presentation is quite good. So, if you are in the Hawthorn area, Herbe adds to the halal options there. Enjoy.

Herbe cafe di Burwood Road, Hawthorn baru buka setahun yg lalu . Cafe ini dikelola oleh orang Islam. Aku suka sekali kalau kita masuk ke cafe halal disambut dengan “Assalammualaikum ” dan memberitahu semua menu disitu halal. Cafe mungil yang bersih ini menyediakan menu breakfast dan dilanjutkan menu lunch pada jam 11.30 am. Tidak ada decorasi ruang yang berlebihan disana hanya tulisan yang mungkin bisa dikatakan semboyan / motto mereka “Herbe, turning ordinary into extraordinary”. Karena sa’at kami datang tepat waktu dimulainya makan siang, maka kami memesan menü makan siang saja. Padahal menu breakfast mereka kelihatan enak juga. Aku memesan lamb, jintan basmati rice yang disediakan bersama salad dan sauce yang menurut mereka pedas tapi buat lidah kami tidak sama sekali. Jadi aku rasa butuh sedikit lagi “flavour” untuk menu ini. Seperti biasa karena anakku sekarang penganut vegetarian, dia memesan menu vegetarian – “cauliflower bowl” dengan condiments yoghurt dan mint. Kami juga memesan cappuccino yang lumayan enak, seperti biasa aku memilih cangkir besar. Perlu aku terangkan dişini bahwa pelayanan mereka sangat ramah, presentasi lumayan bagus. Jadi kalau anda ada didaerah Hawthorn bertambah lagi pilihan cafe halal disana. Selamat mencobanya.
