Total Views |
London, November 14: Singh’s Dining, formerly known as Rangrez, displays an illuminated sign reading “Proudly Non-Halal”, reflecting Kapoor’s stated preference for serving jhatka meat in accordance with Sikh dietary traditions.
As of Saturday, November 14, no detailed official statement from the Metropolitan Police regarding the November 13 demonstration or any arrests connected with it had been identified in the reports reviewed.
Hundreds of protesters gathered outside Singh’s Dining, an Indian restaurant in Hammersmith, West London, on Friday evening, November 13, amid a controversy involving its owner, Harman Singh Kapoor, over his alleged inflammatory remarks about Muslims, Gaza and local communities.
The demonstration took place outside the restaurant at 32 Fulham Palace Road, with Metropolitan Police officers and private security personnel present to monitor the situation and maintain order.
The protest was reportedly organised by members of the local Sikh, Muslim and other communities, who described it as a peaceful demonstration against Kapoor’s alleged online remarks. Protesters were heard raising slogans demanding accountability from the restaurant owner.
According to reports published after the demonstration, the crowd called for action against Kapoor and his family members associated with the business. However, the available footage showed police personnel at the scene, with no visible incidents of violence or damage to the restaurant.

THIS IS MADNESS.
Singh's Dining openly advertises itself as non-halal, right…
The controversy has also generated competing narratives on social media. Several accounts supporting Kapoor claimed that the restaurant was being targeted because of its refusal to serve halal meat and its decision to follow the Sikh tradition of serving jhatka meat. Some posts also alleged that Kapoor and his family had received threats.
However, protest organisers maintained that the gathering was a response to Kapoor’s social media comments about Muslims and Palestine, rather than simply his restaurant’s non-halal food policy.
The dispute surrounding the restaurant has been ongoing for several months. Kapoor had earlier alleged harassment, threats and repeated disturbances following his public position against serving halal meat. In March 2026, the controversy attracted attention after a large crowd gathered outside his then restaurant, Rangrez, in Hammersmith.
The latest demonstration has once again brought the dispute into public focus, highlighting the growing tensions surrounding Kapoor’s online statements and the restaurant’s food policy.
