Finding Halal food in Edinburgh isn’t difficult, there are plenty of halal eateries. We spotted them through the word ‘halal’ either in Arabic or in English on their store front.
Kindly bear in mind, on this page we’ve listed them based on seeing the ‘halal’ logo and/or wordings on their premises. For your peace of mind, please confirm with the store owner or personnel beforehand as ownership of an eatery may change and so would the menu and the status of the food.
Close to our hotel at Dalry Road, there are two such eateries. One is ‘The Chicken Crew’ and the other, in-front of it is ‘Ali Baba Kebab House’ (24 Dalry Rd, Edinburgh EH11 2BQ, UK). Apologies for not having pictures of Ali Baba store front but there is a ‘halal’ logo in Arabic on the signboard. Both eateries are about 5-10 minutes walk from our hotel.

The order counter. We had dinner here. Naturally, they specialise in chicken.
Right in Edinburgh’s old town on South Bridge road is where you’ll find even more halal eateries. Notably is ‘Mosque Kitchen’, a big establishment with dining area, good patronage and serves delicious food. We had chicken Briyani for lunch and drinking water is free. Oddly, on it’s premises, there was no halal logo on the front unlike it’s takeaway section as few doors away which has on it’s signboard. There is an Arabic ‘halal’ logo on their menu if I’m not mistaken.
A short walk from ‘Mosque Kitchen’ is Edinburgh Central Mosque.It’s located at 50 Potterrow, Edinburgh EH8 9BT.
Halal eateries around South Bridge & Royal Mile. Very close to ‘Mosque Kitchen’ is Edinburgh Central Mosque.
