The best halal restaurants in Hong Kong offering lip-smacking food

Halal food options in Hong Kong aren’t just pork-free but also offer everything from Korean to Persian and Cantonese dishes. Here’s our pick of the best restaurants in Hong Kong with halal food options.

The word “halal” means “permissible” in Arabic. But it’s often used when referring to something you can consume. Compared to other cities in Asia, Hong Kong’s culinary scene is diverse, and it makes an effort to cater to specific diets. There are more than 60 restaurants that are certified by the Islamic Board of Trustees, boasting authentic halal options. Did you know Hong Kong Disneyland is the only Disney theme park in the world offering halal-compliant meals? Ocean Park has halal-certified options as well.

To save you the trouble of continuously visiting the few heavily touted options or going vegetarian and calling it a day, we have curated the best restaurants in Hong Kong that offer halal meat.

Bengal brothers
Bengal brothers

Located in Wan Chai, this colourful eatery serves up Bangla-style wraps (ah, the heavenly Kolkata kathi roll!), rice and chaat bowls, and lassi — we’re talking char-grilled meats and veggies, flaky flatbreads and all kinds of sauces and spices. The chicken and lamb are halal, and you’re free to inquire if any other meat in-store is halal on the day.

Saffron
Saffron

Saffron, formerly Loveat, is a must-visit not only because it’s halal but it’s also the first Persian restaurant in Hong Kong! As its name suggests, the dishes are made with saffron, giving the food its fragrance and flavour. The casual dining restaurant has plenty to offer but we recommend the Mirza Ghasemi, a traditional mix of grilled smoked eggplant, tomato, garlic and egg. If you have room for it, the Mix Koobideh with Naan is also a must-try!

Expect homemade food to tickle your palette from hummus to tagine and shawarma. Wraps, side dishes, and desserts are also available to order.

Korean food is heavy when it comes to meat which is why Kimchi Korean Fusion takes pride in being the first halal Korean restaurant in Hong Kong.
