Halal fine dining in London is more accessible than ever before. There are tons of different possibilities, locations, and styles to choose from. Because of this, it can quickly become overwhelming to try and find a new spot to eat. 

That’s why we have rounded up all our favourites - from steakhouses to sushi, from Indian to American, and much more. These top picks were also selected based on our experiences dining in dozens of Muslim-friendly restaurants all around London.

Get The Halal Fine Dining London Experience

These restaurants range from the dead centre of London to Mayfair and beyond. Moreover, they are all different in their unique and special way. The halal fine dining London experience is unlike any other in the world, and that is in part because of the broad range of options available. 

Maybe you are looking for the newest, most exciting rooftop experiences the city has to offer. Otherwise, perhaps you would like to opt for the more laid-back, affordable halal restaurants in London. Or perhaps you are on the hunt for the perfect duck or the best lobster mac n’ cheese.

Chai Wu

As everyone knows, you have to go for the duck (and pancakes!) The duck dish alone makes Chai Wu one of the best halal restaurants London has, and not to mention one of the most popular. Moreover, diners have the option to get some parts of the duck served wrapped in lettuce, or as duck fried rice.

Duck mantou

While the beef, chicken, and lamb dishes are also top contenders, of course, the duck remains most popular for those who are going out to have a halal fine dining London experience. Those who ascribe to the dining belief that ”if it is halal, you should get as much as you can” should also get some duck to go!

Christopher’s

Considered one of the best American restaurants in the UK metropolitan, Christopher’s is also a popular halal fine dining location in London. Visitors must call ahead at least 48 hours before ordering halal meat, so if you are planning to dine in, make sure to make a reservation.

CUT is a popular spot for exactly one reason: the Australian meat selection is all halal. A surprisingly affordable halal restaurant in London - at least, compared to the quality of food - this steakhouse prides itself on its tasty selection. Moreover, the Australian wagyu beef is absolutely heavenly.
