Our story

Three generations, one oven

It started in 1958 with a copper tray and a wood-fired oven on Al-Rasheed Street. Haji Abu Salim baked kleicha at dawn, and by noon the whole street smelled of cardamom.

Today his grandchildren run Halawa — still using his date paste, his rosewater syrup, and his one rule: if it isn't fresh, it isn't on the counter.
