14 Best Halal Restaurants in North London You Must Try

In recent years, there has been an exciting trend according to halal industry stats. The demand for halal establishments, or at least dining establishments that serve halal options, has grown a great deal. This makes for an exciting time for the food and beverage industry of North London, as new halal restaurants have emerged in droves. If you’re looking for the best halal restaurants in North London, look no further. We have put together a list of some of our favourite spots to grab some halal grub, no matter what the occasion.

What Are The Best Restaurants In North London?

When compiling this list, we made sure to evaluate these restaurants based on a number of different factors. Some of these factors include the flavours of the food, the variety in the menu, the overall atmosphere of the restaurant, and the service with which patrons are presented. Below, you’ll find the halal restaurants in North London that we found to be the best overall.

Coco

When it comes to North London halal restaurants, Coco is without a doubt one of the finest. Set against an elegant backdrop, this establishment encompasses everything that makes a great dinner: a fantastic menu, wonderful service, and a good ambience. The food selection is Turkish and includes items such as rib-eye steak, sumac boneless chicken wings and black miso cod. As delicious as the main courses are, an absolute highlight of any experience at Coco has got to be the dessert menu. Diners can choose from gloriously sweet creations such as a banoffee mug with warm toffee sauce or even vegan coconut mousse with roasted pineapple and passion fruit.

Dishoom

Dishoom has been one of the most popular halal restaurants in North London for over 10 years now, and its popularity is showing no signs of slowing down. In fact, it is becoming increasingly important to make a reservation if you plan on going at any time after 6pm – but be warned that you can only actually do so if you’re dining in a party of four or more. Anything under four patrons after 6pm, and you could find yourself waiting up to 30 minutes to be seated.

To start off, the mocktails on offer at Dishoom are sublime. Think tropical fruits blended with ice, syrups and spices – it’s unlike anything we’ve ever tasted before, and they make for an excellent accompaniment to any meal. Mocktails aside, the food options that include starters, mains, desserts and snacks are truly well worth the wait should you find yourself lining up outside and waiting to be seated.

You can never go wrong with Thai food. The delicate flavours, sometimes with a bit of a kick, are perfect for a delicious yet (mostly) healthy meal. Thai Spice has become a staple in London. With an extensive menu featuring some of the best Thai cuisine around, from green curries to noodle and rice dishes, everything on offer at Thai Spice is prepared with the freshest ingredients.

The service at Thai Spice is fantastic, and if you’re there early enough, you might just get to bag a table outside before the masses arrive.

Balans has built a name for itself as one of London’s most popular restaurant chains. Serving up the freshest fare, with only halal beef and chicken ingredients, diners can expect everything from all day brunch options to hearty mains. There are five locations across London, with the first one, located in Soho, opening its doors 35 years ago, in 1987. Balans is a staple of the city’s dining scene and promises a breakfast, lunch and dinner experience that won’t soon be forgotten.

For Families WIth Children

Meals are meant to be shared with the ones we love most, which is exactly why we’ve included family-friendly restaurants in this list of halal restaurants in North London. These establishments each have a wide variety of options on the menu for even the pickiest little eaters.

Sambal Shiok

Since opening its doors in 2013, Sambal Shiok has become something of a legendary Malaysian restaurant. Founded by Mandy Lin who grew up in Kuala Lumpur, the restaurant serves up some incredible laksa. While its signature dish is a bit on the spicy side, Sambal Shiok also offers alternatives that are just as delicious, including fried chicken, rice bowls and incredible desserts.

Gokyuzu

As far as North London halal restaurants go, Gokyuzu makes for perfect family dining, owing to their generous servings and decent price point. With a few branches scattered across London, Gokyuzu has become known for its impressive platters stacked high with an assortment of Turkish food. Be sure to leave plenty of room for dessert as well. We recommended the baklava and kunefe to end your meal off on a sweet note.

Nothing says “I love you” quite like a delicious meal. If you’re looking for a halal spot to enjoy a relaxing lunch or dinner with that special someone, take a look at these two North London options:

Rasa Sayang

When you’re looking for the best halal restaurants London can offer, Rasa Sayang has to be added to the list! This Singaporean-Malaysian spot serves up authentic cuisine that will have you coming back for more over and over again. The rich myriad of spices, accompanied by the freshest ingredients, are a true reflection of the Asian region and are perfectly translated into every bite. On your date night, choose from remarkable dishes made with halal meat, such as beef rendang, chilli crab and black pepper ribeye.

Monga

If you’re open to less traditional date night options, why not try Monga? This restaurant specialises in Taiwanese street food and features halal ingredients. Its most popular dish is undoubtedly the fried chicken fillet. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can try the seaweed, chilli and cheese flavoured fillets. Other menu items include popcorn chicken, sweet potato fries and bubble teas.

Halal Restaurants In Hampstead

If you’re looking for halal dining options in Hampstead, we’ve got you covered.

ZEROZERO

Not only does ZEROZERO offer an extensive menu, it also runs fantastic offers of up to 50% off dine-in, so be sure to take advantage of that! You can choose from an excellent selection of freshly made pizzas, as well as gourmet pastas and desserts (go for the tiramisu, trust us!). The service and atmosphere at this restaurant really makes for a memorable meal, especially because it’s quite laid back. You can focus more on enjoying your meal with friends and family than having to worry about any frills or fuss.

Bombay Nights

This little but mighty Indian restaurant has all the fan favourites: kashmiri lamb masala, onion bhajees and zafrani chicken! While it ticks all the boxes, the menu at Bombay Nights is not an extensive one. This is because they have chosen to focus on a few dishes that they prepare exceptionally well and serve in a beautiful family-owned restaurant. Enjoy your meal here – it will be one for the books!

Few things in life are heartier than Caribbean cuisine, and at Lulu’s, you won’t be disappointed! The menu’s highlights include jerk chicken, sticky baby baked lamb ribs, oxtail and bean brown stew, and of course, curried goat. All meals are accompanied by rice and peas, pan-fried plantains and sweet potato salad. It’s not exactly fine dining, but it is delicious and good value for money!

Halal Restaurants In Camden

Camden is well known for its vibrant, artistic community, but its dining options are pretty good, too! Our favourites include:

Mildred’s

Mildred’s stands out on this list for a number of reasons, least of all because it’s a purely vegetarian restaurant. Absolutely no meat is served at any of the Mildred’s locations dotted around London, but that doesn’t mean the meals lack in flavour or texture. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Indulge in delicious breakfasts like apple and date porridge, or treat yourself to a plate of Spinach gyoza or Roman artichokes for dinner. All of the dishes on offer at Mildred’s can be described as “elevated street food”, and pack a huge flavour punch.

Fatburger

We think the name of this restaurant tells you everything you need to know. If you’re a burger enthusiast, dig in. All meat products are certified halal, and if you’re not as into burgers as the people you’re dining with are, Fatburger’s fried chicken is otherworldly!
