A Vision of Authenticity
In 1997, Ashraf Patel recognized the need for truly authentic halal products in Chicago, so he opened a grocery store on Devon Avenue, ensuring every cut of meat met strict zabihah halal standards. His dedication to quality grew into something even bigger—by 2005, he brought his vision to Milwaukee, founding Anmol Restaurant and sharing the rich flavors of Pakistani and Indian cuisine with the community. What started as a passion to serve you has since become a trusted name in halal dining. Today, Anmol leads the way in full-service halal catering, offering an exceptional experience across the nation. From our humble beginnings to where we are now, we remain committed to providing you with authentic, high-quality halal food every step of the way.
A Journey of Hard Work, Dedication, and Unmatched Growth
What started as a small family-run grocery store in 1997 has grown into something far greater than we ever imagined, a name trusted nationwide for celebrating life’s most meaningful moments. Over the years, Anmol has become synonymous with reliability, excellence, and the ability to turn gatherings into unforgettable experiences.
Looking ahead, our vision is simple: to bring people together. From coast to coast, we’re expanding our reach so that no matter where you are, Anmol can be part of your milestones, your traditions, and your stories. With Shop Anmol, we’re taking this connection even further, making it easier than ever to share in our legacy.
At Anmol, tradition fuels our roots while innovation drives our future. We’re committed to elevating not just events, but the way people come together because our legacy isn’t just about what we do, it’s about the lasting memories we help create.
