Food

Where can I find halal food in Gibraltar?

Short answer

Gibraltar has a small number of places serving halal meat, including Indian and Moroccan-style restaurants, kebab takeaways and a dedicated halal butcher. Halal status can change with suppliers or ownership, so confirm directly with the venue before ordering.

Detailed answer

Halal food is available in Gibraltar, but the choice is smaller than in most UK cities and few venues hold formal certification, so it is worth asking before you order.

Restaurants and takeaways

  • Khan's, an Indian restaurant, has been reported by Muslim visitors as serving halal meat.
  • Rock Noodles (Engineer Lane), a small Malaysian noodle restaurant, has been reported as sourcing its meat from a halal butcher.
  • Essaouira Takeaway (Waterport Wharf), a kebab shop offering halal meals with long opening hours.
  • Some pizzerias and shawarma outlets around Main Street use halal chicken or meat but may serve non-halal ingredients alongside it.

Halal butcher

A & B Butchers at Harbours Deck is listed as a halal meat supplier, useful if you are self-catering.

Before you order

  • Ask whether all the meat is halal.
  • Ask whether alcohol is used in cooking.
  • Ask whether halal and non-halal items are prepared separately.

Ownership, suppliers and menus change, so confirm with the venue on the day.
