The Best Halal Restaurants In Rostov-On-Don

It might come as a surprise, but Russia has quite a significant native Muslim population. In some regions, mostly in the south of the country, it is the dominant religion. Even the historically Orthodox areas are home to a significant Muslim minority. This is why Russian or Central Asian halal restaurants are not hard to find all over the country. If you find yourself in Rostov-On-Don and feel like a delicious halal treat, here are the best places for you to go.

1. Cafe Dolina

Restaurant, Middle Eastern, Turkish, Russian

Cafe Dolina is a cute little place in the heart of Rostov-On-Don. It serves a refreshingly eclectic menu: you’ll find traditional Russian pelmeni, kebabs, of all kinds and other classics of Turkish and Dagestan cuisines. The selection of teas they offer is truly impressive. ‘Dolina’ means ‘a valley’ in Russian, and the restaurant’s interior lives up to its name: it’s green and cosy. It’s the perfect place to spend an afternoon.

2. Cafe Dubay
