Newry Halal Explorer

Newry (Iúr Cinn Trá) is a small city in [[Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, close to the border with the [[Ireland|Republic of Ireland. Newry serves as the regional hub for southern counties Armagh and Down. Founded as a Cistercian monastery in 1144, Newry remained relatively insignificant until the 18th Century when its canal – the first summit level canal in the British Isles was constructed.

It is now popular as a shopping destination, particularly with those from the Republic of Ireland – although this can fluctuate depending on the relative strength of the Euro vs the Pound.

A compact downtown surrounded by mixed-type housing developments and outlying villages, Newry has seen increased development up until the financial crisis of the late 2000s, however it is slowly beginning to recover.

Muslim Friendly Shopping in Newry

After Belfast, Newry is arguably Northern Ireland's second finest location for shopping. The town boasts two shopping centres as well as a modest out-of-town shopping complex.

  • The Quays - 54.168623, -6.340546 - The Quays Newry Ashopping centre
  • The Buttercrane - 54.172220, -6.341751 shopping centre

Halal Food

Finding lunch should not prove a problem, as there are many good sandwiches shops located on Hill Street and in The Quays Shopping Centre (people who live in Ireland will know to avoid O'Brien's in the Buttercrane).

Finding somewhere to eat Halal in the evenings can be a challenge. Excellent restaurants (such as the original Soho Place and Tickle) seem to have an abnormally short life-span, thankfully Copper Restaurant has moved from Warrenpoint to Monaghan Street and is THE place for food offering a locally sourced menu and a good vegetarian/vegan menu. Many places offer affordable and unremarkable fare and the most prominent being the Canal Court Hotel's bar Snacks menu (best described as standard chain-pub food). There are a wide range of Chinese restaurants/takeaways and pizzerias, but remarkably few Indian restaurants. The number of pubs offering food has grown significantly in recent years.
