We’ve always said food is never just food - read the whole article subscribe to @financialtimes When I say it’s not one to missed I really REALLY do mean it, it is packed with history, food & identity, and yes it did make me cry & laugh in the best way possible Thank you @jayrayner1 @financialtimes for a review we will never forget. What moved us most wasn’t simply that you enjoyed the food, but that you understood it. You understood why it exists. Not as a forced fusion or a clever concept, but as a natural reflection of who we are. My Afghan heritage, Josh’s love and respect for barbecue, and a shared obsession with hospitality, smoke and fire.This piece is about family, migration, identity, Afghanistan, Texas and London. Different histories, traditions and journeys coming together through food at @cuepointldn and @thegardenbarw10. In many ways, that’s London.And then there was this line:“Her family survived both the Soviets and the bloody mujahideen. She could cook what the hell she liked.”I laughed. Then I cried. Then I sent it straight to my parents.Thank you for telling our story with such warmth, humour and care. It means more than you know. by @cuepointldn

I came to enjoy their bbq Sunday roast which was pretty special!* all meats halal with veg options If you’re going to try anything make sure it’s the lamb shank! So smokey and topped with a gorgeous spiced gravy, brisket is incredible too! Cuts like butter. I cannot wait to come back and try everything else! All roasts are between £24-£32 and includes all trimmings. Also the garden is stunning perfect for summer! Thank you so much for having me @mursal_saiq @joshuamoroney absolute bbq wizards! #sundayroastlondon #londonbbq #londonhiddengems #londonfood #londonpub by @cuepointldn

@theobserveruk @foodstories (full article in bio) @cuepointldn @thegardenbarw10 There was a time when seeing a woman behind a smoker was the exception, I’ve spent the best part of 10 years in an industry that has often told me, directly and indirectly, that I don’t belong. Somewhere along the way I built an armour. The loud one, the confident one, the one who walks into a room and owns it. People often think that’s who I am, when really she’s just the armour I built along the way.Underneath it, I’m actually incredibly introverted. I was raised very conservatively & Islamically and a big part of that still stays with me. I’m deeply family-orientated, I don’t date, I rarely go out unless it’s for work, I don’t network particularly well, and most of my life revolves around the restaurant, business & fire. Somewhere along the way, people stopped seeing the armour and started believing it was me.That armour was never about pretending to be someone else, it was about protecting the person who just wanted to cook over fire without constantly having to justify why she was there.That’s why this piece means so much. Thank you @theobserveruk @foodstories and Helen Graves for shining a light on the incredible women helping reshape British barbecue. Every one of us brings different cultures, different stories, different techniques and different flavours, and that’s exactly how an industry grows.I hope the next generation of girls picking up a pair of tongs, lighting a fire or stepping into a pit don’t spend years wondering whether they belong. I hope they simply know that they do.Right… back to the smoke.England vs France tonight, so if you’re joining us as a walk-in, come early because it’s going to be a busy one.And with England now out, Sunday bookings are back open, so if you’ve been waiting, the booking link is live again. by @cuepointldn

We didn’t bring it home… but WHAT a game, WHAT a vibe and WHAT a World Cup.The Garden Bar Grill, Smokehouse & Cue Point has never been busier. Thank you for your patience, kindness and for bringing the most incredible atmosphere. Nights like that remind us why we do what we do.When that kind of energy is paired with great food, great drinks and genuine hospitality… that’s all it needs.Our oak smoked beef back ribs, our halal St. Louis style ribs, the 220g dry aged Angus burger (so pink, so pretty 😉), plus the brisket, Texas naan and the rest of the menu were absolutely flying.As England are no longer going through, Sunday bookings are now back open. We know loads of you have been asking, so head to the booking link to grab your table. If you have any issues, just DM us.See you tomorrow.#nottinghill #halallondon #beefbackribs #smokedribs #bbqforthemanynotthefew by @cuepointldn

Is it just your meat that are halal, or is everything?”It’s a question we get asked a lot.At Cue Point, our meat is halal / permissible. Beyond that, our goal has always been bigger than labels. We want to build a table where everyone feels welcome, regardless of faith, culture, background or dietary preference.That means you’ll find halal meat alongside brilliant vegetarian and vegan dishes, and gluten free recipes, great drinks, and a space where no one feels like they have to justify why they’re here.For us, inclusion isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s good and natural hospitality. For us, it’s always been about creating an inclusive table. Whether you’re Muslim, Hindu, Christian, Jewish, Sikh, have dietary requirements, or simply love great barbecue, we want you to feel like there’s something here for you.The restaurant industry is tough, with average net profits often sitting around 3–5%. Opening your doors to more communities, rather than creating barriers, helps restaurants survive while bringing more people together around the table. Increase profit margins and creates integrated F&B spaces Food has always been one of the easiest ways to build understanding. We’d rather focus on what we can share than what divides us.Everyone’s welcome. Always. #bbqforthemanynotthefew #cuepointldn #halallondon #halal #guyanese by @cuepointldn
