Malik Butchers
64 Dunstall Road, Wolverhampton, WV6 0NJ
Brothers Adnaan and Manny run Malik Butchers, a butchers, deli and street food operation producing halal takes on British classics.
Inspired by the 'British classics they saw on TV' growing up, but couldn't eat as they weren't halal, the brothers have chosen to specialise in cured meat alternatives such as beef bacon, halal wagyu pastrami and lamb ham.
