Halal lunch in Antwerp: fresh Turkish food, delivered

In Antwerp, a halal lunch is not a problem in itself. Around Borgerhout, Berchem and the Turnhoutsebaan you will find plenty of bakeries and eateries. The problem is the middle of the day itself: between two appointments, or with an afternoon of work ahead, you are not going to drive to the other side of the city for a hot bite.

At Yasemin we cook fresh, 100% halal Turkish dishes every week and deliver them for free in Antwerp. All you do is heat them up — at home or at work — and you eat hot and authentic, without having to go out first.

Halal lunch in Antwerp: where can you go?

Roughly three directions:

• Borgerhout, Berchem and Deurne: most of the Turkish bakeries, sandwich shops and eateries. For a fresh pide or lahmacun, this is the place to be.
• Centre, Meir and Antwerpen-Zuid: lots of lunch places, but halal is thin on the ground. If you work or shop here, you often search in vain.
• At home or at the office: a fresh meal that is already waiting and that you heat up in a few minutes.

We especially recognise that second group: the options are rarely where you happen to be at that moment. That is why more and more people in Antwerp choose fresh meals in the fridge instead of searching at midday.

Sandwich lunch or a hot Turkish lunch?

The Belgian sandwich lunch is quick, but by four o'clock you are running on empty again. A Turkish lunch is warm and savoury: soup, a filled bread or a stew with rice. More nourishing, and it keeps you steady through the afternoon.

What exactly is a Turkish lunch?

• A warm bread such as pide (Turkish bread with toppings), lahmacun (thin Turkish pizza) or gözleme (savoury filled pancake).
• A bowl of Turkish soup (çorba) — lentil soup is the classic.
• A sulu yemek: a stew with meat, vegetables and rice. More about it in Turkish hot lunch with soup and sulu yemek.
