At Halal Gems, we visit hundreds of restaurants every year. The cream of the restaurant crop, or more appropriately in French, the ‘creme de la creme’, is popularly distinguished by a Michelin star. There is lots of debate about whether the Michelin guide is relevant in the age of crowd-sourced reviews, but what you do know is that a restaurant with a Michelin star has a good standard of food served in a high-quality atmosphere.
Here are our Top Five Michelin starred restaurants which serve halal food:
The lunch menu here is around £30 and is delightful. Each course has a different innovative flavour, and the staff are wonderful.
Cuisine: Indian
Halal status: Chicken, beef and lamb are halal. Game meats are not halal but there is no cross-contamination between halal and non-halal meats.

The Ritz is a British institution, and being able to eat both chicken and lamb here is great. An intriguing menu along with the kudos of being served at this location makes it a strong contender for the Top Five.
Cuisine: European
Halal status: 48 hours notice required to pre-order halal meat.
Its still quite hard to find good halal French food in London, so Galvin is a unique part of the Top Five. The restaurant serves Sunday lunch at £34.50 for a traditional plate of roast along with that all important Yorkshire pudding. A great option for a long lunch.
Cuisine: French
Halal status: Chicken is halal. One week notice required to pre-order different halal meat. Halal and non-halal meats are cooked separately.
