Papa-dum

For an authentic yet modern halal breakfast in London central, try family-owned Papa-dum. Papa-dum stands out with fresh and fast Indian street food and a menu that also offers all halal meat. So, treat yourself to a halal breakfast in London with rich colours and fragrant herbs in dishes that are heart-warming and feel home-cooked.

Drunch Mayfair

The famous Drunch Mayfair is a hip, and stylish spot with an eclectic menu open for late breakfast and brunch. Moreover, we think it is a great place to grab a halal breakfast with your family and friends! So, take your time choosing your food with a variety of teas and mocktails.

The full English breakfast is always a good bet if you can't decide. For those who want a non-meat option, there’s also a vegetarian English breakfast on the menu with halloumi. Vegans can opt-out of the cheese and have spinach, tomato, mushrooms, hash browns, and beans instead.

So, book early, reservations are required, and breakfast is only served from 8 to 11 am.

Their range of dishes is unique, to say the least! For example, we recommend trying their Scandinavian-influenced pastries like their cinnamon bun. Otherwise, indulge in a South American-esque variation on the classic eggs Florentine.

If you’ve ever seen a long line outside of a restaurant and everyone seems very happy to wait because the food is so good, that’s Bake Street.

The Chaka Breakfast with thick tomatoey broth, poached eggs, spinach and halloumi plus sourdough for dipping should be your first stop on the menu. Their weekend-only menu offers another tantalising option in their Migas con chorizo. That’s homemade chorizo with scrambled eggs, and a cheese crisp, dressed with salsa. Delicious!

If you go, try their gaucho sandwich, that’s wagyu beef with egg and chimichurri sauce. Enjoy a London halal breakfast as they also offer halal beef bacon, turkey sausage, and wagyu beef. Moreover, at all of their restaurants, they store the ingredients separately from pork to prevent cross-contamination.
