Halal restaurant in Ljubljana — no compromises
At Šeherezada, halal is not a marketing word but a firm commitment to purity, traceability and respect for tradition. All our veal and chicken comes from verified sources with a valid certificate. There is no pork and no alcohol in our kitchens.
Three firm pillars of halal safety
For us, halal means a complete system of responsibility — from where each ingredient comes to how it is prepared on your plate.
No forbidden ingredients
There is no pork, pork fat, gelatine or a drop of alcohol on our premises. In our sauces, jufka dough and marinades we use only 100 % clean ingredients.
100 % verified origin
We use only quality veal and chicken from recognised European slaughterhouses with valid international halal certificates and precise traceability of every batch.
Careful hygiene in the kitchen
Separate work areas, dedicated equipment and regular staff training prevent any cross-contamination. For us, hygiene is part of both religious and culinary responsibility.
