This is the second time in succession that the Halal food news website has won this award having first been nominated in 2017 during the event’s inaugural year.
Taking place at the British Muslim Heritage Centre, the second Halal Awards celebrated the suppliers, retailers, wholesalers, bloggers, restaurants, takeaways and caterers for their contribution to the success of the UK Halal industry.
Hosted by popular food vloggers Halal Hangouts, this year’s ceremony was sponsored by German Doner Kebab, MyLahore and Global Muslim Relief.
Feed the Lion co-founder, Hamza Bajwa, said: “On behalf of everyone here at Feed the Lion, I want to firstly give praise and thanks Allah, before thanking our readers and congratulating all the winners this evening.”
Organised by Oceanic Consulting, CEO Irfan Younis said: “Congratulations to all winners and finalists. The night produced some memorable moments and we’re delighted to have hosted such talented individuals.
