El Barrio de Lavapiés is my recommendation for anyone who wants to try a diverse platter besides Spanish food and there are tons of other Halal restaurants located in this neighborhood. If you want to be like a local in Spain, there are a lot of good Spanish restaurants here in Madrid - just make sure to always confirm if there isn’t any Cerdo or Jamon in the dish and of course alcohol. Enjoy Madrid!
