What Makes a Drink “Halal”?
In simple words, halal means “permissible” in Arabic. When it comes to drinks, a halal option.
- Contains no alcohol
- Includes no harmful or forbidden ingredients
- It is prepared and served in a clean, respectful environment
At Ihlara Valley Restaurant, we follow these principles strictly. Every drink on our menu is 100% halal, so you can enjoy with confidence, no questions asked.
A Refreshing Range of Halal Drinks at Ihlara
Our drink selection may be simple, but it’s full of flavour and tradition. Here are some of the most popular halal drinks you’ll find at our restaurant in Woking:
1. Ayran
Ayran is a cool, creamy yoghurt-based drink that’s well-loved across Turkey. It’s made with yoghurt, water, and a touch of salt, blended until smooth and served chilled.
It’s especially popular with grilled meats and spicy dishes, as it balances the heat and refreshes the palate.
2. Salgam
Salgam (pronounced shal-gam) is a fermented drink made from turnips and carrots. It has a slightly sour, salty flavour with a spicy edge, and it’s packed with character.
