Halal food in Brussels

Brussels has a growing halal food scene, particularly concentrated in the Matongé neighbourhood and around Rue de Flandre in the north. Options range from casual kebab shops to established halal-certified restaurants, though availability is modest compared to major Muslim-majority cities. North African and Turkish cuisines dominate the halal landscape.
