New in Vienna, looking for trustworthy halal butchers and Arabic groceries — ideally close to the 15th, 16th, or 20th districts. Recommendations welcome.
Welcome to Vienna! It's wonderful you're settling in. Vienna has a vibrant multicultural scene, and you'll find many options for halal butchers and Arabic supermarkets, especially in the districts you mentioned.
For halal butchers, you'll often find them integrated within Turkish or Middle Eastern food shops. Areas like the 15th (Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus), 16th (Ottakring), and 20th (Brigittenau) districts have a significant presence of these communities and their businesses. It's common to find dedicated butchers within larger Arabic or Turkish supermarkets. A good approach is to explore the main commercial streets within these districts, such as Mariahilfer Straße (which extends into the 15th district) or roads around the Brunnenmarkt in the 16th district.
Regarding Arabic supermarkets, these often carry a wide range of products, from fresh produce to spices and prepared foods, and usually include a halal meat section. You can find numerous such stores scattered throughout Vienna. While specific names can change, searching online maps for "Arabische Lebensmittel" or "Türkischer Supermarkt" in your preferred districts will yield many results. Many of these businesses also have an online presence, which can help you check their locations and offerings before visiting.
