I tried Matina in Bristol city centre - Tripadvisor's top halal food outlet that has queues out the door

Bristol's St Nicholas Market is known for its on-the-go food stalls serving anything from the city's cheapest curry to Pieminster to Woky Ko's last outlet. It's also home to my favourite named café, Royce Rolls, that's been proudly vegetarian since 1979.

Perhaps best known is the Middle Eastern market stall, Matina, which is Bristol's top-rated Halal option on Tripadvisor and is a clear favourite, with no bad reviews and countless detailed accounts of people's visits since it was set up in 2015 by Waild Abdi.

It has been a fixture on the very edge of St Nicholas Market for years, adjoining High Street. Walk too quickly and you'll miss it with its inconspicuous signage, but the Middle Eastern street food stall is difficult to miss at lunchtime, often signposted by the trailing queue of hungry office workers.
