11 halal kitchens in Canary Wharf & Poplar.
Part of The Halal Ledger. Every kitchen here gets the same three-voices check as every other: what the business claims, what customers reveal in reviews — quoted, with receipts — and what only the owner can confirm. Updated 29 July 2026.
How we verify
Every kitchen here is checked three ways: what the business claims in its own listing, what customers actually say in reviews (quoted, not paraphrased), and what only the owner can confirm — which we hold as an open question until they answer it themselves. We won’t list a “halal” kitchen if reviews contradict the claim; that’s cost places their listing before.
COCO Canary Wharf - Restaurant & Lounge
Stylish halal restaurant and shisha lounge at West India Quay, Canary Wharf — grilled dishes, non-alcoholic cocktails and al-fresco waterside seating, one of few halal al-fresco spots in the area.
Hazev
Long-established Turkish chargrill on the Canary Wharf waterside (part of the Tas group) — halal mezze, lamb shank and moussaka, standout kunafa and cakes, and hospitality reviewers single out by name.
Moira Restaurant
Polished halal Turkish-Mediterranean grill hidden near Canary Wharf, praised for fresh grilled meat and fish, attentive service and strong allergen care; good for celebrations.
Its Thecha
Rare Maharashtrian kitchen tucked in the lower level of a Canary Wharf hotel — pre-booked veg and non-veg thalis, kothimbir vadi and paneer thecha, and a licensed bar. It serves alcohol and seafood/meat, so it is not an all-halal kitchen.
Poplar Cafe.
Popular budget breakfast/burger cafe on Poplar High St (E14) that markets itself to halal diners — reviews describe a separate halal cooker and a halal English breakfast, but bacon/pork items also appear, so halal is an option alongside non-halal.
Gopal’s Corner
Halal Malaysian counter inside a Market Hall food court, celebrated for banana-leaf meals, laksa, roti canai and generous, well-priced portions.
The Madina Grill (TMG)
Fully-halal desi-style grill house in Poplar (E14) — steaks, peri peri chicken, sticky wings and doner, with downstairs seating for groups and quick friendly service.
In A Pikel
Cult halal smash-burger food truck at Skylines Village near Canary Wharf, open late — 'best smash burger in my life' fans, generous fries and a famously friendly boss, with the odd note that it can run oily.
BagelEats - Poplar
All-halal (Zabiha, HMC-certified) bagel & smash-burger cafe in Poplar, known for wraps, milkshakes, catering and a quiet SEN-friendly space run by owner Maz.
Shahs Halal Food - Isle of Dogs
All-halal American 'halal-cart' takeaway on the Isle of Dogs (E14) — chicken and lamb over rice with signature white and green chilli sauces, plus a well-regarded vegan falafel option.
CinnaMint
Independent Moroccan/Mediterranean halal kitchen and bakery inside Poplar Union market (weekends only) — tagine wraps, mezze and acclaimed house cookies, with a notable vegan+halal selection.
