4.4 / 5

The signature at Adel's is something they call Spicy Rice, a bold, deep-red rice that's unlike anything you'll find at your average halal cart.

Royal Grill has been recommended to me plenty of times, and with good reason – it absolutely hit the spot, with some of the freshest rice I've had.
