Banana Tree Is Now Certified by the Halal Friendly List
If you're looking for a Halal Restaurant near you, you've come to the right place. At Banana Tree, food has always been about bringing people together. It’s about the joy of sharing, of sitting elbow-to-elbow over steaming bowls of noodles, vibrant curries and fragrant rice, swapping stories and laughter between bites. And now, we’re proud to share that our table just got even more welcoming.We’re officially certified by the Halal Friendly List, a trusted, independent organisation that verifies restaurants committed to providing halal-friendly dining options. This certification isn’t just a badge on our name. For us, it’s a symbol of care, respect and inclusivity.
Why This Matters to Us?
When we started Banana Tree, our dream was simple: to celebrate the incredible flavours of Southeast Asia, from Thailand to Malaysia, Vietnam to Singapore, and make them accessible to everyone. That means creating a space where every guest, regardless of dietary need or cultural background, can feel at home.Being able to serve Halal food as a certified restaurant by the Halal Friendly List is a meaningful step in that journey. Their process is transparent and thorough, examining our ingredients, preparation methods and supply chain to ensure our food meets halal-friendly standards. It’s independent proof that when we say we care about inclusivity... we mean it.
We’re incredibly proud that our full halal food menu is now recognised by them. You can view our official listing here on the Halal Friendly List website.
A Shared Belief in Trust & Transparency
Partnerships like this matter because trust matters. The Halal Friendly List doesn’t just take a restaurant’s word for it, they verify, check, and publish every detail. From the way ingredients are sourced to how dishes are prepared, it’s all documented openly. That level of transparency is something we value deeply. It’s what allows our guests to dine with peace of mind, knowing their meal has been carefully considered from kitchen to table.Food for Everyone
Our menu has always been about balance, bold flavours, nourishing dishes and inclusive choices. Whether you follow a halal diet, eat plant-based, or have gluten-free needs, there’s a place for you here. We believe great food transcends differences. It’s what unites us, and it’s at the heart of everything we do.

FAQs
Is all the meat served at Banana Tree Halal?
Yes. All the chicken, beef, and duck on our main All Day Menu across all UK locations are Halal-friendly and sourced from verified Halal suppliers. Please note that our breakfast menu (where available) is not Halal-friendly.
Are your Halal meats formally certified?
While we use dedicated Halal suppliers for our chicken, beef, and duck, we recommend checking the most recent Halal status and certification details, as this can vary by specific supplier and product. We are always happy for you to ask a manager at the restaurant for more information.
Is there any pork served in your restaurants?
No. We do not serve pork in the vast majority of our restaurants. Please note that a small number of sites that serve a limited breakfast menu may include pork items, but these are kept strictly separate from the Halal main menu.
How do you prevent cross-contamination between Halal and non-Halal items?
Our Halal-friendly status is a top priority. We implement strict procedures in our kitchens for the storage, preparation, and cooking of all Halal meats to minimise the risk of cross-contamination with any non-Halal ingredients.
