Halal Cheap Eats Part 3
It has certainly been a while since I’ve written a series, especially a halal cheap eats one! I’m thinking of making a whole new section on the website to accommodate for all these halal cheap eats, what do you think? If you have any halal cheap eats suggestions that are £10 and below, do let me know in the comments below.

Super cheesy, super gooey lamb bacon smash burger from @bakestreetldn 👌🏼 #HGAT
What: A small eatery tucked away in the borough of Hackney. Each dish is made using the highest quality and freshest ingredients, and they serve probably the best halal burger in London (bold claim, I know!).
Order This: The classic Smash Burger [£7.50] is a double burger filled with plenty of cheeese. Tasty, cheesy, and oh so delicious, you cannot miss this! If you want to splurge a little, the fried chicken bene is the ultimate brunch dish.
The Halal: All meats are halal. No pork or alcohol present.
Where: Hackney

WINGMANS CHICKEN
What: This food stall turned restaurant serves award-winning wings, especially for their buffalo chicken wings.
Order This: A portion of Buffalo chicken wings [£8.00] is more than generous for one person. Go with a buddy and you can order two portions.
The Halal: All the meat is halal. No pork but alcohol is present!
Where: Kilburn

CHIK’N
What: Good quality fast food? Yes, it actually exists in Baker Street at a reasonable price too.
Order This: The classic “Straight Up” chicken burger starts from a tiny £5.95, meaning you can get a portion of wings [£2.95] which just about comes up to £8.
The Halal: All chicken is halal. They do have bacon but no cross contamination occurs. Alcohol is present.
Where: Baker Street

DIWANA BHEL POORI

Order this: The buffet options for £6.50
The Halal: It is all vegetarian! No pork but alcohol is present.
Where: Drummond Street, Euston

Soft pagocha bread filled with cheesy eggs and halal beef bacon from Popina @popinaldn #HGAT
What: Another popular market stall turned restaurant in Mayfair serving European food.
Order This: The humongous halal beef bacon and scrambled egg sandwich [£6.50], which is served in a pogacha.
The Halal: Most of the meat is halal, including the beef bacon and turkey ham, however it is best to confirm when you visit. Pork is served, but is cooked and stored separately,
Where: Mayfair

ETLES UYGHUR
What: This is not your usual Chinese establishment that serves aromatic duck, sweet and sour chicken, and crispy beef. More like tripe and ox tongue, but don’t be put off as they also sell hand-pulled noodles and big plate chicken (literally a big plate of chicken and noodles).
Order This: One portion of Tugur a.k.a dumplings stuffed with chopped calf is plenty for one person. Be sure to ask for the chilli oil and vinegar to make it that more delicious.
The Halal: All meats are halal. No pork but BYOB policy
Where: Walthamstow

NOODLE OODLE
What: A halal Chinese hole-in-the-wall found hidden amongst all the other non-halal Chinese establishments. I used to be a regular customer many years ago and only returned after more than 10 years this summer!
Order This: The Twin Roast Meat Platter with rice [£7.80] allows you to choose two out of the three available roasts: roast duck, roast chicken, and honey-glazed bbq chicken. The honey-glazed chicken is a must in my books!
The Halal: All meats are halal. No pork or alcohol served.
Where: Queensway

SADAF

What: I couldn’t do a halal cheap eats series without including a Persian! Sadaf is located just opposite Alounak and is almost as good, perhaps cheaper too.
Order This: The Chelo Kebab Koobideh will set you back £7.70
The Halal: All meats are halal. No pork or alcohol served here.
Where: Bayswater

EASTCOTE LAHORE
What: You can’t go wrong with any lahore grill restaurant really, but some are just that smidge better (and cheaper too).
Order This: One whole Tandoori Chicken [£8.00] would be more than enough to fill you up. Otherwise order half [£4.75] with a garlic chilli naan on the side.
The Halal: All meat is halal. No pork but has a BYOB policy.
Where: Eastcote, North London
HGAT Review: Coming soon! In the mean time, click here.
OLD CHANG KEE
What: The famous Singaporean snack shop came to London in June this summer and have now become halal as of two months ago serving aromatic chicken curry puffs and curries too.
Order This: They currently have an all day meal deal for £9.00 that includes a good amount of chicken curry and rice, plus two spring rolls and a drink too. Or three puffs of your choice will still be under £10!
The Halal: All the chicken (which is present in all the dishes) is halal. No pork but alcohol served
Where: Covent Garden
