This is a growing database on mosques, shops, restaurants, etc. in Prague. Right now I am only reviewing the places I have actually been to, so be patient! Let me know if you have any recommendations! Leave me a comment if you have any questions or need more details about any of these places. I’m also too lazy to add the diacritics right now; I’ll do it later insha’Allah!
MOSQUES
Blatska 1491 (take metro to Cerny most)
I went recently, seems like a good community! Right now juma khutba starts at 1:30, and there are prayer areas for men and women, and a small play area for children. I think there are other activities, but I have not yet attended any.
14 Politickych Veznu Street, Praha 1 (take metro to Muzeum)
This is a prayer area in a large building. There are prayer areas for men and women, but the women’s prayer area is sometimes not available for juma prayers, and even if it is available, it is difficult to hear the khutba in there. I would recommend that ladies attend juma at the other mosque.
SHOPS
Farah
Myslikova 5, Prague 1 (take tram 17 or 21 to Jiraskovo Namesti, or take tram 6, 18, 22, or metro B to Karlovo Namesti)
You can find almost anything you need here! A variety of fresh halal meat (they are known for their lamb chops), as well as sausage and cheese. There are bulk spices and rice, and boxed spice mixes.
RESTAURANTS
Chez Amis
Spalena 15, Praha 1 (take metro B, or tram 6, 18, or 22 to Narodni Trida)
Very small but nice place with friendly service and excellent Arab food at reasonable prices. I had the gyro and loved it. I read online that he also makes good falafel. There is also a small grocery store.
Konecchlumskeho 7 (take tram 22 or 36 to U Kastanu)
I don’t think it is Muslim-owned, and they do serve alcohol there, but I asked about the meat and he said the lamb dishes are halal. They are a small, cozy place with great Indian food.
Piccadilly Halal Fast food
Opletalova 22, Prague 1 (take metro to Muzeum)
Small place with mostly Arab food. Great sandwiches!
Hallal Restaurant
Ruzova 10, Prague 1 (metro to Hlavni nadrazi)
Small Indo-Pak place with decent prices. I didn’t like the curry too much, but the tikka was good!
Here are some other places I haven’t been to yet at zabihah.com.

Hey, I really enjoy your blog. I have a blog too in a totally unrelated field (Online Stock Trading) but I like to check in here on a regular basis, just to see what’s going on and it’s always interesting to say the least. It’s always entertaining what people have to say.

Thanks, Wasilla! Do you live here?
It’s been awhile since I’ve had a good doner kebab so I’ll probably check those out soon.

this site helps me much
i’m an indonesian muslim that now studying in NL. I’ve bought ticket to Prague at Xmas Holiday and I’ve planned to be solo female traveller. I’m looking for info for the mosque and I find it here! And also i want to ask, is this city save for me? because I wear scarf. The backpacker site said that this city is save for backpacker or traveller even solo female traveller. But what about solo muslim female tourist like me? who wear muslim identity (scarf)?

Yes, it will be safe insha’Allah. People look, but generally Prague is a safe city. Just watch for pickpockets, like in any other city! There are a lot of Malaysians and Indonesians here, I think. Send me an email through the “about me” page if you want to meet for coffee/tea!
