Joburg’s been popping out halaal eateries faster than a gossip spreads in a WhatsApp group. While it’s hard to keep up with all this newness, it’s great to see so many new options catering for the once under-served Muslim community. Ok, we’re still under-served in some parts of the GP but it’s miles ahead of what it used to be. Here’s where you can go for the latest halaal spots in Jozi.

Pret a Manger, Rosebank

After a successful launch in Melrose Arch, the expansion with the opening of the second Pret shop, follows an enthusiastic response from local customers and marks the next phase in a broader national rollout. A unique feature of the 2nd South African Pret A Manger store will see the shop having a local creative feel to it courtesy of a graphic design from University of Johannesburg student, Precious Mogoje. Expect global flavours, freshly made food and organic coffee.
