Cue Point
Cue Point specialises in British Afghan Fusion BBQ, offering quality smoked barbecue by fusing various influences such as Texan, Argentinean, Afghan, Brazilian, etc. into British barbecue.
I remember visiting their White City site at W12 Studios a while back and was absolutely blown away by their delicious Beef Brisket Burger. Apart from that lip-smacking beef brisket bun, they also offer DIY meal kits on their NACOS, i.e. Naan + Tacos, which have been having raving reviews across the board as well. Vegan NACOS are available as well.
Everything is halal at Cue Point.
Delivery: Nationwide
Nannybills
Just when I was complaining about how saturated and mediocre the (halal) burger market has got in London, Nannybills had come out to prove me wrong.
They are most certainly currently my favourite halal burger place in London, and it’s terrific news that they’re delivering their own DIY Burger Kits. You can recreate the epic Dalston Dip Burger at home and they also have Halal Double Bacon Cheeseburger offering.

Mother Clucker
Mother Clucker is no doubt my all-time favourite fried chicken spot in London. Their tea brined, buttermilk soaked, twice battered, halal fried chicken is absolutely sensational.
With their DIY meal kits, you can now recreate their phenomenal famous fried chicken strips or fried chicken burger (their ridiculously delicious hot sauce included) at the comforts of your own home. For vegetarian options, they also offer a fried halloumi kit.
Every £2.50 from all orders for their 4-person D-I-Fry Box will go to Brixton Soup Kitchen.
Everything is halal at Mother Clucker.
Delivery: Nationwide
Berenjak
Berenjak has taken Persian grills to a different level in London. I still dream over that incredibly delicious Lamb Barreh Kebab since my last visit to the restaurant.
Their pre-marinated Kabab Kits include both the Lamb Barreh Kabab and Chicken Jujeh Kabab Tond. It also comes with their clay-baked lavash bread and their bespoke metal skewers. If you have a barbecue at home, that would be the best scenario! But if not, domestic grills do the job too.
Chicken and lamb are halal at Berenjak.
Delivery: Nationwide – England & Wales only
Sambal Shiok
It’s no secret I’m obsessed with Laksas. With the chillier weathers these days, Sambal Shiok is here to deliver a warming DIY laksa kit to your doorstep.
They are definitely a giant hug in a bowl, with a good ton of spice in it. Apart from their Special Prawn & Chicken Laksa, you can also choose from Assam Laksa, Prawn Laksa, or their Vegan Special Laksa as well.
Everything is halal at Sambal Shiok.
Delivery: Nationwide
Old Chang Kee
The best of savoury pastries? Definitely Singaporean curry puffs in my opinion (well, there’s the obviously east Asian bias…but still!).
Old Chang Kee is a shop situated in Covent Garden (and now Fitzrovia as well) that specialises in this delicious treat. They kick-started the frozen meal delivery service as soon as lockdown hit. Old Chang Kee came up with the idea of delivering their signature Singaporean curry puffs, rendangs and curries to your door in frozen form, which can be easily reheated at home any time.
Everything is halal at Old Chang Kee.
Rice Guys
Having visited Rice Guys’ stall at Liverpool Street two years ago, I’m very excited that they are now offering meal kit deliveries. Halal offerings include their very popular Hainanese Chicken Rice Set, Cantonese Roast Duck Rice Set, or a Whole Cantonese Roast Duck that feeds for 4-6 people.
Chicken & duck are halal at Rice Guys.

You can choose from a couple of classics, such as briskets and ribs, also their popular Wagyu burnt ends, as well as Christmas boxes (Brisket or Turkey) or their monthly special boxes.

Baba G’s Bhangra Burger
Baba G is known to offer an Indian twist on classic burgers. I remember finding them during their pop-up days and digging my teeth into their monstrous burgers. Expect Indian curry flavours packed in a burger and sandwiched in between their sweet buttermilk naan style buns.
For their DIY meal kits, you can pick from their Lamb Jalfrezi Burger or the Paneer Saag Burger to make at home. Each kit makes 4 burgers.
