'Now they have a chance to come out and hang out under one roof,' says Rashid Sulehri, new owner of the Beach Bakery and Grand Cafe in Westhampton Beach.
When the Beach Bakery and Grand Cafe went up for sale last year, locals were worried they'd lose the only kosher restaurant in the Hamptons. But the eatery found its savior: Rashid Sulehri, a devout Muslim, is keeping the café kosher—and adding halal food to the menu.
Realizing what the bakery meant to Jews in the area, Sulehri insisted on keeping the business kosher—in fact, he said it was the only way he'd buy the place. Adding halal items meant opening the door to the Muslim community, too.Newsweek "Now they have a chance to come out and hang out under one roof," Sulehri says."The food that's served here is acceptable to all kind of religions, customers and backgrounds. This has become a very multicultural spot where people can come out, have fun and enjoy the delicious pastries and cakes.", is a big fan of the bakery-café.
Just after Memorial Day, Sulehri was invited to speak to the congregation, the first time he'd stepped inside a synagogue. He told them of his recentare expected to bring money for donations, but Sulehri decided to donate funds that came from the Beach Bakery's profits. The restrictions for halal food are similar, though alcohol or alcohol-based products are prohibited, including flavor extracts like vanilla. A halal kitchen can have non-halal items, as long as they're prepared and stored separately.
