Halal eateries win London’s Ealing Restaurant Awards 2020

Two Halal-friendly restaurants in west London took top honours yesterday after being voted Ealing borough’s favourite dining spots.

The Ealing Restaurant Awards gave cause for celebration when it announced that Steak On The Green in Haven Green was this year’s winner.

The popular steak house pipped family-run, Halal Tunisian cafe Sidi Bou, also located in Haven Green, to the post with its premium cuts of meat.

With the country currently in lockdown, this year’s awards will go a long way towards drumming up support for Ealing’s small businesses and “indie food scene”.

Speaking of his win, Steak On The Green owner Ian told FtLion: “The team really worked hard. They deserved it. We really have been well supported by our Halal clients. That made a huge difference through these challenging times.”

We are very proud to be running the awards this year and continuing to support our local, indie food scene – Ealing Restaurant Awards

The winners were announced live on Instagram last night by Ealing Restaurant Awards following two weeks of voting, with 18 restaurants considered for the finals.

Among those shortlisted were a number of other Halal-friendly restaurants including Maryam’s Kitchen, Chianti Italian Restaurant, and Indian curry houses Hustle, Monty’s, and multi-award winning Patri (voted 4.5/5 by FtLion).

Ealing Restaurant Awards told FtLion that they were “very proud to be running the awards this year and continuing to support our local, indie food scene”.

They added: “We saw a huge amount of love shown by the local community for these incredible, local businesses and it was humbling to see how swiftly these small businesses adapted to not only keep their businesses going, but to also continue serving their local community. We’ve never been prouder to support them all through the awards.”
