About eathalal.eu
A European halal restaurant directory built on trust, transparency and care.
Independent
No investors and no advertisers shaping the listings. Editorial decisions belong to the founder.
Transparent
Every listing shows its source and how confident we are about the halal claim.
Open to corrections

Why this exists
Finding trustworthy halal food in Europe is harder than it should be. The biggest directories are US-focused. Maps apps mix verified and unverified entries with no context. Travel guides skip whole neighbourhoods. The result is that a Muslim family arriving in Berlin, Paris or Rome ends up relying on word of mouth.
eathalal.eu exists to fix that — one city at a time, with public data, manual review and community help. We won't claim to be complete. We will claim to be honest about what we know, what we don't, and where each listing comes from.
Who runs it
eathalal.eu is built and maintained by Benabdallah Abdellaoui, a Vienna-based independent developer originally from Algeria. He has also built wedort.com (a Vienna transport platform) and workdaten.eu (a European working-days and payroll tool).
Editorial decisions, restaurant approvals and rejections are made by the founder. There is no anonymous review pool — when a listing changes, one person made that call.
What we cover
Phase 1 focuses on ten Tier-1 European cities: Vienna, Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Paris, Marseille, Brussels, Amsterdam, London and Rome. The plan is to grow to 30 cities across the EU 27, the UK, Switzerland and Norway.
Every listing is offered in five languages: English, German, French, Arabic and Turkish. We keep the language list small so each translation gets proper attention.
How you can help
If you know a halal restaurant we've missed, submit it. If you find an error, tell us. If you own a restaurant in our directory and want a photo updated or removed, we have a process for that too.
Honest, curated coverage takes time. Every correction makes the next traveller's life a little easier.
