Halal Chinese Restaurant in Birmingham: Halal Dining at Lulu Wild, Brindleyplace

Finding a genuinely good halal Chinese restaurant in Birmingham isn’t always easy. Halal diners are often limited to a handful of dishes on a menu built around pork and alcohol-based sauces, or steered towards buffet-style venues with little atmosphere. Lulu Wild, the modern Chinese restaurant and cocktail bar in Brindleyplace, takes a different approach – halal options sit alongside vegetarian and vegan dishes across the full menu, from handmade dim sum to the weekend bottomless brunch, so halal guests get the same experience as everyone else at the table.

This guide covers what’s available, how to book for a halal-friendly group, and what to check before you go.

What Halal Options Are Available at Lulu Wild?

Lulu Wild describes itself as offering “fantastic halal options” alongside vegetarian and vegan dishes across its menu, and invites guests to speak to a restaurant manager about specific dietary requirements before booking or on arrival. That’s the most reliable way to confirm which dishes suit you on the day, since menus are seasonal and change with fresh produce.

What we do know from the current menu structure:

• Dietary symbols (V for vegetarian, VG for vegan, G for gluten-free) are used throughout the Á La Carte menu, so you can see at a glance what fits your requirements alongside the halal options.
• The dim sum selection includes vegan dishes such as the Crystal Vegetable Dumpling and Pak Choi Dim Sum, useful if you’re dining with a mixed group of halal, vegetarian and vegan guests.
• Signature mains include dishes like black pepper lamb and salt & chilli chicken, prepared alongside the kitchen’s wider halal offering.

Because Lulu Wild is not a fully halal-certified restaurant – it’s a Chinese restaurant and cocktail bar with a full drinks list, including alcohol – it’s worth calling ahead if certification, rather than a general halal-friendly kitchen, is important to you.

Halal-Friendly Brunch, Lunch and Set Menus

Lulu Wild’s weekend Bottomless Brunch is served as a Chinese buffet-style spread, and halal options are available within it, the same as the rest of the menu – worth flagging when you book if you’re bringing a halal group. Details and booking are on the Bottomless Brunch page.

For a quicker visit, the Lunch Menu runs Monday to Friday, 12pm–4pm, at 2 courses for £22.50 – a practical option if you work near Brindleyplace and want a proper sit-down meal on a lunch break.

If you’re booking for a larger group, Lulu Wild’s Signature Menus are built for banqueting-style sharing, with a minimum of 4 guests and a set menu requirement for parties of 8 or more. This is worth knowing in advance if you’re organising a family celebration or work do and need everyone’s dietary requirements accounted for on one set menu – call the restaurant directly to talk through halal, vegetarian and vegan needs before the day.
