Halal restaurants in Richmond

This cosy, family-run spot in the heart of Richmond, Saffron Persian Grill, dishes up Persian fare like juicy koobideh (minced lamb skewers), saffron-marinated joojeh kebabs, and rich, herb-packed stews like ghormeh sabzi – all with mounds of fragrant rice. The vibe is relaxed, and while it's not a fully halal-certified restaurant, some dishes are made with halal meat.

From a tiny stall in Brick Lane Market to a London favourite, Rosa's Thai has built its rep for serving high-quality, tasty Thai cuisine. At the Richmond branch, you'll find all the staples: spicy drunken noodles, creamy curries, crispy spring rolls – all made with the best British produce. While it's not a fully halal restaurant (they do serve pork and alcohol), the chicken is sourced from a halal butcher, and there are plenty of veggie, vegan and seafood options too. So if you're halal and happy to dine in a mixed kitchen, this one's a must.

Chatora is an Indian spot in Richmond, spread across three floors with a terrace out back. The menu takes a voyage through India's regional cuisines; think street food-style starters, rich curries, and mouthwatering mains, with a tasting menu if you want a bit of everything. On weekends, there's even a bottomless lunch. This spot works just as well for laid-back dinners as it does for special occasions. Oh, and there are some halal options on the menu, too.

Taste of Raj is a modern spot serving up flavoursome Indian and Bangladeshi dishes in a pared-back setting. The menu is all about the classics, think hearty curries, smoky tandoori grills, and generous portions of homemade favourites. There are some halal options available here.
