Khaao Karachi
One of our favourite halal food spots in Camden Market ought to be Khaao Karachi. Their Tandoori Chicken Malai Cheese Naan is our go-to favourite and I’m sure their other options such as lamb seekh kebab would be just as phenomenal. Pro tip: if it gets too busy at Camden Market, Khaao also has a stall at Hawley Wharf Market just a couple of steps away!
Halal Status: All meats served are halal
Pino’s Warung
Tucked inside the Italian Alley of Camden Market is this hidden gem called Pino’s Warung. The humble store specialises in authentic home-style Indonesian dishes that are inspired by Pino’s late mother’s cooking. They are known to have the best Beef Rendang you can find in London! Other offerings include Soto Ayam, Chicken Congee, Lontong Sayur. They also have a higher-end sister restaurant named Toba in Picadilly Circus serving a more refined version of Pino’s Warung’s menu.
Uh K-Dogs n Juicy
Korean Hot Dogs are all the hype these days. Uh K-Dogs n Juicy in the Italian Alley of Camden Market started as a home-based business and quickly gained popularity with their halal K-dogs. You can get up to 3 toppings for each order. Popular picks include the French Fries and the Ramen coating (which we really enjoyed, by the way).
Peckish Burgers (formerly Bill or Beak)
If you are in the mood for a giant burger fix, Peckish Burgers has some very well-stacked burgers for you. Whilst not the very best halal burger in town, we still enjoyed the Smash Cheeseburger and their Honey Butter Fried Chicken Burger has received high praise.
Pitta Bun
A sister brand to the popular Greek restaurant, Opso, Pitta Bun is a more laidback street food spot for a taste of modern Greek cuisine. Pitta Bun prides itself on serving high-quality pitta bread sourced from Greece and all sorts of juicy fillings.
Halal status: All meats served are halal except for pork
Makatcha
Pino’s Warung is not the only place in Camden that makes a mean bowl of beef rendang. Makatcha is another eatery in Camden Market, serving up hearty portions of traditional Indonesian dishes, including that excellent beef rendang! Other popular picks include chicken rendang, satay, etc.
El Polotte
El Polotte specialises in Latino fried chicken with unique flavours to impress. The Buffanero Wings are an award-winning flavour and feature a hot & tangy taste; whereas the Guava-glazed wings lean more toward sweetness. Get them with a side of yuca fries or enjoy them in the form of a fried chicken bun in the form of a burger or Latino arepas!
Ink Fish Bar
Fancy some halal fish & chips? Ink Fish Bar is an option. They use a non-alcoholic batter for their fish, and most outstandingly, serve it with a unique pink beetroot tartare sauce. Their chips are triple cooked for maximum deliciousness and, fish aside, they also do calamari & chips. Or opt for the mixed box where you get both with chips!
Meat Head Mexican
Riding on the birria tacos frenzy, Meat Head Mexican has gone viral and gets super long daily queues for their stall. Though whether it’s worth the wait or not, there’ve been some mixed reviews. They’ve now gone fully halal so you can choose between their slow-cooked beef, grilled chipotle chicken, or lamb chilli birria tacos and enjoy all the cheesy meatiness with their consomme dip.

The Mac Factory
The Mac Factory serves up the most comforting mac & cheese pots with various topping options to choose from. All meats served are halal but do note that the Parmesan crumble isn’t halal – make sure you ask for the herb crumble as a substitute.
Halal status: All meats served are halal. However, the Parmesan crumble isn’t halal so please ask for the herb crumble instead.
Asador
The number of times we’ve walked past steak & chips stalls and could only stare longingly because they aren’t halal…it’s no longer the case when you’re walking past Asador! The Argentinian steak & burger stall is now serving halal beef and you can enjoy a proper steak frites doused in a lip-smacking chimichurri sauce.
Yorkshire Burrito
British Sunday roast and burrito together? It may not seem like an obvious combo but Yorkshire Burrito is here to make it work. It’s one giant Yorkshire pudding stuffed with shredded roast beef/chicken, potatoes, and gravy – but it’s rolled up like a burrito instead!
Halal status: Chicken & beef are halal
Arepazo Bros
Arepas are a household staple for every Venezuelan family, made with cornflour bread and typically eaten like a sandwich. Run by a father-and-son duo, Arepazo Bros offers halal chicken or beef for you to choose from as a filling, which is then loaded with avocado, cheese and black beans. Don’t forget to complete your meal with a side of their fried plantain chips as well!
Lulu Chicken Schnitzel
Did someone say halal schnitzel? Yes, you heard right – Lulu Chicken Schnitzel at Camden Lock boasts itself of serving halal chicken schnitzels, which is an Austrian staple. You can opt between having it with fries and a side of Harissa mayo, in a pitta with fries, or as a schnitzel burger with plenty of melted cheese.
Baba G’s
These monstrous-looking Bhangra burgers have been a popular pick around Camden Market year after year. Whether it’s the spiced lamb jalfrezi, chicken tikka, or masala fish burger, they’re guaranteed to be something different & unique to try out.
Maize Blaze
Maize Blaze serves gluten-free modern Colombian street food that’s inspired by the flavours of Bogota and developed in the heart of London’s dynamic street food scene. There aren’t many options to choose from but with halal chicken available, you can get a taste of their signature Chicken Asado. Of course, there’s also a vegan option available that’s no short of flavours as well.
Sonita’s Kitchen
Sonita’s Kitchen is all about freshly made and healthy Punjabi curries. They pride themselves in serving authentic curries that are cooked with very little oil, as well as “free from dairy, gluten and nuts and contain absolutely no sugar, additives, preservatives or nasties”. It is all about that clean, healthy, feel-good & guilt-free sensation when it comes to their food.
Kolkati
Kolkati is founded by Kate de Lord and Jack Hogarth, who both fell in love with India’s food scene during their 5 months of adventures there and decided to bring Kolkata’s street food staple back to London. You can choose from your pick of masala chicken or paneer, and enjoy it wrapped in freshly made flaky paratha alongside a range of zingy condiments.
Meat Point
Meat Point is an Argentinian smoked steak stall located within the Camden Stables Market. Argentinian BBQ follows the principle of cooking slow & low and the steaks at Meat Point are cooked for up to 12 hours to achieve the desired tenderness and flavours. You get to enjoy it in the form of a steak sandwich, steak salad, or steak & chips.
Wok Boy
It’s all about that crispy Bang Bang Chicken, chow mein noodles, and katsu curries at Wok Boy. Expect loaded boxes of saucy noodles and fried crispy chicken, freshly made by order from their blistering hot wok. If you don’t fancy chow mein, you can opt for chips as well and have it doused with sriracha sauce.
Bun Boy
Founded by the same team as Wok Boy above, Bun Boy is all about Korean flavours and juicy burgers. From Gochujang Chicken Tenders, Ssambaps, to Korean Street Burgers, their food would absolutely hit the spot. They also pride themselves in their fresh homemade sauces, offering a party mix of sweet, smoky, hot and spicy flavours.
Roti House
At Roti House, the naan is freshly made straight out of the clay oven and you can choose from the likes of tandoori chicken, malai chicken, lamb seekh kebab, or paneer masala as your filling.
Halal status: All meats served are halal.
Yaki Box
Yaki Box started out selling just sushi rolls but, with its growing popularity, is now also serving hot food such as teriyaki, katsu, and bento boxes. The teriyaki, especially, has now become a signature of theirs which you can pair with either grilled or fried crispy chicken.
Chin Chin
I don’t think Chin Chin needs much of an introduction. They were the first to introduce liquid-nitrogen ice cream to London and their torched marshmallow hot chocolate (halal-friendly!) has stolen the headlines everywhere. In addition to ice cream and hot chocolate, they make indulging desserts including brownie cookie sandwiches, griddled cookie dough, sticky toffee pudding sundaes, etc.
Elia Greek Street Food
If you are looking for some good quality Greek gyros and souvlaki wraps, then you ought to visit Elia at the Italian Alley of Camden Market. They pride themselves in sourcing the freshest ingredients to deliver an authentic taste of traditional Greek countryside to Londoners. Each souvlaki wrap is loaded with salad, chips, your choice of filling (chicken/halloumi/falafel) and sauce – all tightly wrapped in fresh pitta bread. If you don’t fancy a wrap, you can have it in the form of a box too.
Funky Chips
Here’s another viral stall and it’s all about loaded chips. Funky Chips are gaining people’s hearts & bellies with their large portions of crispy fluffy chips generously loaded with toppings. Everything is halal and they also do halal hot dogs too.
Halal status: All meats served are halal
Zala Levantine Grill
You can’t go wrong with a bit of Levantine grill. Zala Grill offers a range of mezze, meat grills, pitas, and Levantine pizzas freshly baked in a traditional wood-fired taboon. Nestled in between all those street food stalls in Camden Market, Zala Grill actually has seating spaces inside the restaurant.
Shaka Zulu
Not a street food stall but Shaka Zulu is an actual sit-down theatrical restaurant in Camden Market. The restaurant spans two floors with elaborate African decor and offers a braai menu of springbok, zebra and exotic meats. Those exotic meats, however, aren’t halal but there is a separate halal menu available offering steaks, lobster, lamb rump, etc.
Halal status: Separate halal menu available
