Naz's Halal opens in Rockville

Naz's Halal is now open at 1040 Rockville Pike, in the Edmonston Crossing shopping center. The restaurant began as a food truck in Queens, New York, and has now expanded into bricks-and-mortar operations in California, Maryland, New York, and Rhode Island. This Rockville location is so new, it doesn't even appear on the locations section of their website yet - but, you can order from the Rockville restaurant through the website.

The menu features gyros, sandwiches, platters showcasing various meats or falafel over rice, and chicken wings. One of the specialties they are known for is their fried fish gyro, based on one of the founders' grandmother's recipe. Look for Naz's Halal next to Shiseido at Edmonston Crossing.
