It is not hard to find Halal restaurants in Helsinki, a simple google search will provide you with a list. It may be scattered around but thats not a problem, the problem is that most of these restaurants cater to “lunch” or “fast food” people. People who just want to get some food quickly and get back to work or home.
Some friends had been asking me to take them to some “Muslim” restaurant. I did not want to take them to these restaurants, I wanted to take them to a place with some class and good atmosphere. I wanted to show them that we (muslims) knew good living as well.
So I took some last week, did extensive googling and found Fez ( www.fez.fi ). And I am happy that I went there. The staff was friendly, they had good halal food, the atmosphere was just amazing. It was an expensive restaurant, located in a quite neighbourhood of Helsinki, away from all the noise. I made a reservation before gong there, it was not necessary but I believe in summer time it may be hard to find a place there, considering how good the food was. The chefs really knew their stuff. I would love to go there again

You find it odd that they speak Finnish in Finland?
