There's such a range of Manchester halal restaurants that sometimes you need just one place where you can find them all. Luckily for you, we've put together a snappy guide for eager readers. Have a scroll through our top picks of eateries across the city, which are serving everything from Turkish charcoal-cooked meat dishes and juicy fried chicken, to authentic Indian curries and Lebanese mezze platters.




Gaucho Manchester

After the best halal restaurants Manchester has to offer? Get on down to Gaucho for some seriously swish interiors, from the glistening chandeliers and cow patch chairs to the tall, grand ceilings. But that's not all, as this award-winning joint also has some seriously good halal sirloin for you to try from their top notch steak collection - just let the restaurant know at least 48 hours in advance so they can make sure it's available.

Comptoir Libanais

Not only do these guys specialise in bold, bodacious and beautiful interiors, but their menu of Lebanese cuisine comes from approved and certified suppliers, so you can mix 'n' match mezze or sharing plates to create the best halal buffet in Manchester. Particular star dishes include the chicken moussakhan, freshly made hummus and kunafa.

Mughli

A staple on Curry Mile, Mughli is an authentic Indian and Pakistani eatery championing home cooking. Step into the bold orange interiors and you'll find a menu worthy of their title as one of the best halal restaurants, with HMC-approved meats throughout. 

Bundobust

Set in Piccadilly and on Oxford Road, Bundobust Manchester offers an exciting, 100% vegetarian menu inspired by Gujarati street food, making it an exceptional, worry-free dining destination for those seeking halal-friendly options in the city.

The spacious, modern industrial taproom features long communal tables ideal for group celebrations, serving a mouthwatering lineup of meat-free street eats. Friends and families can share iconic dishes like crisp okra fries, spicy vada pav sliders, paneer tikka, and rich tarka dhal, alongside a refreshing array of house-made mocktails like the spicy nimbu pani lemonade and kachumber cooler.

Tampopo

If you're looking for a dinner spot in the Corn Exchange, Tampopo offer up halal-friendly options. Grab a perch in their informal dining area to tuck into street food classics and traditional pan-Asian dishes.

Vermilion

Giving halal fine dining in Manchester a fusion twist is Vermilion. Combining English, Thai, Chinese, French and Korean cuisine with lavish interior design like shimmering chandeliers and historic artefacts, this place sees you enjoying DJs at the luxury Cinnabar afterwards too.
