Halal-Certified and Muslim-Owned Restaurant Guide


Singapore is a multicultural country with a diverse population, with many Muslim residents and visitors. That means there are plenty of halal-certified food options in Singapore! It's not just about eating at a restaurant that serves halal food and being sure it's all permissible to eat, but also knowing how the meat was slaughtered, if it was prepared with utensils that have not touched pork, and so on. This guide is about halal food in Singapore, with picks from muslim-friendly and halal restaurants and cafes. This guide will tell you how to find good halal restaurants near me or anywhere else in Singapore!

Halal-Certified and Muslim-Owned Restaurants


Halal is an Arabic word meaning lawful or permitted. Muslims are prohibited from eating pork, animals that have been strangled or beaten to death and blood, as well as alcohol and any food containing alcohol. In addition, Muslims cannot consume any non-halal food cooked inside a non-halal kitchen (kitchen utensils used for cooking) or served with the intention of enticing the consumer to eat more than what he/she needs. However, there are some exceptions where bovine products are allowed if they are certified by Islamic authorities as being halal.

Halal certification has become a booming industry in Singapore with more than 10% of restaurants receiving it since June 2007 when the Halal Industry Development Corporation (HDC) was set up under the Ministry of Trade & Industry (MTI). There are many halal restaurants in Singapore serving all sorts of delicious dishes. Whether you're looking for a casual lunch with friends or a special dinner date with your spouse, there's sure to be something on this list that tickles your fancy!

Best Halal Restaurants In Singapore


Halal food in Singapore is no longer restricted to just Malay cuisine. Today, we have a variety of halal food available — from fusion, Middle Eastern, Japanese, Korean, and western restaurants! Influenced by the K-pop and K-drama craze, Korean cuisine has been all the rage within the muslim community, with halal Korean barbecue and hotpot being popular trending searches. While mirin and sake are mainstays in Japanese cuisine, several halal Japanese restaurants have foregone these ingredients for halal alternatives that don’t compromise on flavour.

Of course, even cuisines from cultures that traditionally consume a lot of pork have also switched it up to be more inclusive. If you’re taking your muslim colleagues and friends for gatherings, you can enjoy halal dim sum and zhi char. If you’re looking for something affordable, you’ll be spoilt for choice with a range of grab and go kiosks and chain restaurants serving Halal Thai, Indonesian, Vietnamese, and more.
