Our story

Family-owned. 100% halal. Made with heart.

Hinzi's Kitchen was founded by Hina "Hinzi" Awan on a simple idea: bold, homestyle Pakistani comfort food that's fully halal, made fresh to order, and served fast — without ever cutting corners on flavor or quality.

The name on the door

The food we grew up on, made for today.

From our signature rice bowls and street-style kati rolls to fresh chai and Mediterranean favorites like gyro, falafel, and hummus, every dish is 100% halal — zabiha meat, no pork, no alcohol, anywhere on the menu. It's the food we grew up on, made for the way people eat today.

Hinzi is a really nice lady. I also am happy to have a healthier yet tasty option here in Germantown.

Two neighborhoods, one kitchen

Come in, order at the counter, and we'll bring it out fresh.

We opened in downtown Frederick and grew to Germantown's Wisteria Dr — two fast-casual kitchens serving the same bold, halal comfort food across Maryland.
