A halal butcher near Govanhill

Getting here from Govanhill

The easiest walk is through Queen's Park: in at the Victoria Road gates, over the hill and out on the Shawlands side near Pollokshaws Road. From there, head to Shawlands Cross and onto Kilmarnock Road, and we're at number 44, near the Shawlands Arcade.

If you're carrying a big order home, it's worth coming by car. There's on-street parking on and around Kilmarnock Road; please check the signs for times and any charges.
