Restaurants in United Kingdom

Two cities make up the British list: London, with 94 places, and Manchester, with 20. In both, the kebab shop is the default, and it overlaps with the other British takeaways: fish-and-chip shops that also sell kebabs, such as The Frying Squad on Hither Green Lane and Ashy's Chippy in Cheetham Hill, chicken shops such as Roosters Chicken & Kebab on Mile End Road, and halal Chinese takeaways like Halal Chinese Wonderful House in Stepney Green. Chips, chilli sauce and wings run through the reviews.

In Manchester, two streets stand out. On Oxford Road, by the universities, Babylon and Zaytoni are shawarma houses open until 4 or 5 AM; along Cheetham Hill Road the cooking turns Pakistani, Afghan and Persian, with karahi at Royal Manchester Restaurant and lamb shank and pilau at Choupan. Nearly three quarters of all places offer delivery, more than half are marked halal, and most list £1–10 or £10–20 per person.
