Muslim in Edinburgh

I've done a lot of reading and research about living in Edinburgh a year before we got here and as a muslim I was searching for the source of halal food and place for ibadah. (disclaimer: I'm not pious). Typically 'halal food edinburgh' are the best google keywords to start of with, but I'm not here for vacation which means I must think as a settler not a tourist.

Unfortunately, the information that I need was not sufficient as compared to muslim reviews on Manchester and London. I could imagine that life is going to be a bit tough with limited source of halal source and I'm talking about having a family of five. Anyway that was just my perception before we got here and the real situation is totally opposite.

So, I would write on halal info in Edinburgh which maybe suitable for Malaysian or muslim tourist and whoever plan for a long stay or even settling down in the City of Edinburgh. 

I will list down the list of halal restaurant, halal food store and mosque or place for solah. 

Halal Restaurant: 

1. Kebab Mahal - http://www.kebab-mahal.co.uk/

2. Mosque Kitchen - http://www.mosquekitchen.com/. To be exact, there are three Mosque Kitchen in the same area which serve different target group (please google this)

3. Nanyang - http://www.nanyangrestaurant.com/ - Malaysian cuisine, but please read through the menu as they may add in wine in certain dishes but we can always request not to have it in. 

Halal Food Store 

1. Global Food - 4, Norton Park EH7 5RS

2. Medina - 

3. Starlight - This is actually a chinese food store and please look for halal logo etc before buying. Kicap Kipas udang is available here
