Craving a fancy night out, but want to stick to your Halal diet? You’re not alone! I get tons of requests for Halal fine dining recommendations, and I’m here to help. I’ve put together a list of restaurants I’ve personally tried, and others I’ve meticulously researched to make your search a breeze!
Important Considerations:
Alcohol Awareness: It’s important to remember that most upscale restaurants in London do serve alcohol. Be prepared and check with each restaurant directly. Only a few on this list do not serve alcohol, so it’s important to be mindful of your preferences.
Disclaimers:
Verification is Key: I’ve done my best to confirm Halal status for all restaurants, but things change! Please double-check with the restaurant on the day of your visit.
Dress Codes: Some of these restaurants have dress codes (like Sheesh Chigwell), so be sure to look at their website for details.
Double-Check for Alcohol in Food: Always, always, always ask restaurants about alcohol in their dishes! This is important even beyond fine dining, as many establishments use alcohol in their cooking.
Variety of Choices: You might be surprised to see some restaurants on this list that you might not consider “fine dining.” I’ve included a mix of styles to suit a variety of special occasions!
