Hong Kong has long been celebrated for its diversity of cultures and religions, and among the many groups that call the city home, there are some 300,000 practicing Muslims with roots everywhere from Indonesia to the Middle East. This multiculturalism enriches all aspects of our city – including its delectable culinary scene.

There are over 100 halal-certified and halal-friendly restaurants in Hong Kong, approved by the Incorporated Trustees of the Islamic Community Fund of Hong Kong. You can choose from a wide variety of cuisines including Chinese, Indian, South East Asian, Middle Eastern and lots more.

To help you decide where to eat, scroll down to find our top picks for Muslims diners in Hong Kong – they’re certified halal and strictly delicious.

Know before you dine: Among halal-certified establishments in Hong Kong, there are three different categories: halal-certified restaurants ensure that everything, from ingredients to prep areas to dining spaces, are verified halal; halal-certified kitchens serve halal-certified food but may offer non-halal items, such as alcohol, in the dining area; halal-friendly restaurants, which use the same kitchen to prepare halal and non-halal items but ensure careful preparation to prevent contamination.

We’ve labelled each of our recommendations with the category they belong to. We’ve also included some smaller eateries which, though not certified, are well-known among local Muslim communities for serving delicious halal food.
