Halal restaurants in Leicester

111 places HMC lists as certified in Leicester: 76 restaurants and takeaways, 33 butchers, 2 caterers. On a map with addresses, what HMC checks and how to confirm a certificate.

These are the places HMC lists as certified with Leicester in their address, as of its list on 3 November 2026. HMC certifies the outlet itself, not the street or the brand, and each entry links to HMC's own page for it. A place missing from this list is not necessarily not Halal; HMC simply has not certified it.

What HMC certification means

A UK registered charity (no. 1147462) that certifies and monitors Halal meat and poultry from the abattoir to the shop, and certifies some non-meat products.

HMC does not accept stunned meat or poultry. Its criteria require hand slaughter by a practising Muslim slaughterman with the Tasmiyah said on each animal, and a check that three of the four main vessels are cut. A certified outlet displays a yearly HMC certificate, which lists the items it covers.

HMC in full: what it covers, its limits and sources

How to check before you order

  1. Look for HMC's yellow sticker at the outlet.
  2. Read the yearly certificate on display: it lists the items certified, and items not on it are not covered.
  3. Check that the outlet appears on HMC's website.
  4. On packaged chicken, look for HMC's coloured, serialised label; HMC red meat is stamped.

HMC says it does not comment on products it has not certified: not being HMC certified is not a ruling that a product is Haram.

Also on the map

The map also shows branches from restaurant chains' own Halal lists in Leicester (KFC: 3, Nando's: 3). Those are the chains' own lists, not HMC certificates, and both chains say their Halal chicken is stunned before slaughter, which HMC does not accept.

So do places OpenStreetMap contributors have tagged Halal, labelled as community tags we have not checked.
