Halal Restaurants in Cardiff City Centre

Lezzet

This charming establishment, in the heart of the city centre on St Mary Street, offers a rich tapestry of Turkish flavours. Lezzet means flavour in Turkish, and you get this on the menu, which is halal. There’s a selection of kebabs, mezzes and desserts. The four-course menu, the Sultan’s Feast, is a personal favourite.

Fat Hippo

Fat Hippo is renowned for juicy burgers and loaded fries. The chicken is certified halal, but the beef is not. The burger restaurant in Cardiff is on Church Street and is available for click-and-collect and delivery. All burgers are served in a toasted brioche with dusted fires.

Viva Brazil

If you have a big appetite, Viva Brazil is the place for unlimited meats. Well, until you turn your card from green (for go) to red (for stop). Even though it’s fantastic, try not to fill up on the salad island. For the halal eaters, if you call the restaurant five days before visiting, they can get you Halal meats. The restaurant is at the top of St Mary Street and Mill Lane.

Travelling to the City Centre

Navigating the Cardiff City, especially during busy seasons, requires thinking ahead. Whether opting for public transport or securing a parking spot in advance, a bit of planning ensures a smoother journey, allowing you to fully savour the best of Cardiff.

Getting around Cardiff has never been easier

Transport for Wales now offers Multiflex, which gives you 12 journeys for the same price as 5 returns. With stops in Taffs Well, Radyr, Whitchurch, Llandaff North, Cathays, two in the city centre – Queen Street and Cardiff Central – plus Cardiff Bay. And who doesn’t want to save money to spend on eating out?

Pre-book your City Centre parking and save!

An NCP Park Pass is an easy way to save money on parking. Not only do you access special parking deals, but you also don’t need to remember where you put the ticket collected at the barrier – mine always gets lost in the handbag. As payment is contact-free and cashless, you do it on your phone.

You can always pre-book your parking online and save money if that’s not your thing. Find a car park, choose your date and time, enter your details and make your payment. Once you’ve booked your parking online, you will receive a booking confirmation email detailing your booking and how to enter and exit the car park.
