A little about this place
About Oakville Halal Grill
Oakville Halal Grill is a small owner-run Pakistani kitchen at 441 Kerr Street, towards the south end of the Kerr Street strip. It cooks to order rather than from a steam table: beef seekh kebabs, chicken tikka, kebab rolls, biryani, curries and naan made fresh alongside them. The set-up is a plain counter operation with a handful of seats, geared to quick lunches and takeout; Google's listing records dine-in and takeout only, with no delivery, and free parking on the lot and on the street.
It is rated 3.7 on Google from 146 ratings, with a 1-star bin larger than the 4-star bin. The premises are visibly dated and plainly fitted out, waits run long when one person is covering both the counter and the grill, and the price charged at the till has not always matched the price on the board.
