Halal Restaurant Singapore
Did you know that Muslims make up 14% of Singapore’s population? That is to say, you can never run out of fancy Halal restaurants to try in Singapore here, from new restaurants opting for the Halal food certification or a new Muslim-owned establishment bursting in popularity on Instagram. But, what does it mean for a restaurant to be ‘Halal’?
As defined by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS), ‘halal’ is an Arabic word that means lawful or allowable. Any food or drink that falls under this category is permitted for consumption by Muslims. Most food and drinks are considered Halal unless clearly stated in the Quran (the holy book of Islam) and Hadith (prophetic sayings) as forbidden or non-Halal.
MUIS
Furthermore, the MUIS Halal certification is authorized by MUIS so it means that the restaurant guarantees that their food products, from the ingredients to preparation and even the beverages, are suitable for Muslims to consume according to Muslim laws. So, whether you are a Muslim seeking out new food places to try or planning a get-together with your Muslim friends, we’ve compiled a list of the best halal restaurants for you to try this year!
Note: As of writing this article, establishments are still confining to social distancing guidelines. Do exercise social responsibility when eating out in groups!
Key Consideration Factors
- Service Quality: The service should be attentive and polite. The waitstaff should be knowledgeable about the menu and able to make recommendations.
- Price: Make sure to comparison shop between the various restaurants, so you can secure the most beneficial discounts.
- Reputation: When looking for a reliable restaurant, one with an established reputation is the best option. These shops often excel in customer service and utilize superior ingredients so that food is memorable.
- Food Menu: A good restaurant menu should offer a variety of savory and sweet dishes, as well as a selection of drinks.
- Reviews: Researching reviews from previous customers is a great way to evaluate the level of service, as well as comprehend if the restaurant can be trusted.
- Quality of service: As you don’t want your dining experience to fail following a few days, you must assess the quality of ingredients used for the meals.

Customer Review
Really great place for Udon. I got to admit, I was initially skeptical about this restaurant as Udon restaurant may not be associated with being Halal. However, I am absolutely wrong.
Ordered the Burdock Tempura with a set B which comes with the chicken curry don and managed to swap the chicken for Inari Sushi.
Absolutely love it. The stock for the udon was fantastic. The Inari Sushi was the best I have tasted so far.
Love this place and will be back!

Went to Fat Papas for lunch. The way to order and payment was efficient as we don’t need to move from the table that we were seated.
Food serve was quick and the food was good and worth it. Portion was good and sumptuous. Was in a food coma state for awhile. Haha
Overall good experience and definitely will visit again

Over the years, KUCINA has grown to become the leading Halal Italian Restaurant in Singapore, having achieved significant milestones such as being the only official catering partner of NDP 2020 and being awarded the Singapore SME 500 Award 2020 – 2021.
Ultimately, KUCINA aims to provide authentic and high-quality Italian food to its customers, both Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

- Chef Omar was born in London but with Sicilian blood from his Father’s side of the family. Growing up, he enjoyed Italian food from Sicily that was home-cooked by his grandmother. It ended up being a huge inspiration to the dishes that he makes from scratch today in KUCINA. Some of which include: LA BARCA FUNGHI E TARTUFO (a boat-shaped pizza), ARANCINI SICILIANI, and CANNOLI.
- All of the pasta at KUCINA is handmade from scratch and we have a wide variety of fresh own pasta available such as gnocchi, squid ink chitarra, caserecci, and much more! We also allow our customers to combine any sauce with their own pasta so that each plate of pasta is customized to their liking.

Most of us know that when it comes to having desserts such as cakes, cookies, and scones, it’s definitely not easy for our Muslim friends as there is a lack of a wide variety of options that are halal-certified. This is where All Things Delicious can come in! Mel, the owner of All Things Delicious had always wanted a cake and cafe of her own and thus, humbly opened at its first location near Crawford lane. All Things Delicious managed to quickly gain popularity and now it has opened up its second store near Arab Street. Also, the overall menu of All Things Delicious caters to multiple food types such as sandwiches, pancakes, sticky rice bowls, cakes, scones, and much more!
All in all, our Muslim friends will definitely find something that’s tasteful and worth their money should they visit All Things Delicious.

Above all, the cafe guarantees that for same-day orders, your order is always ready for pick up in one hour, delivered within 2 hours!

Customer Review
Amazing desserts! Delicious scones and cakes sold in-store, and you can also order whole cakes for delivery (worth it – delicious, and they deliver on time). Savory food is okay if you like cafe-style meals. I’d recommend coming down for coffee and gula melaka scone

In other words, their menu definitely has a wide array of delicious mains to choose from like their Toolang Burger, Signature Garlic Cream Mussels, Big beef bacon boat pizza, and Beef Mee Goreng. After that, you can choose to end your meal off in a truly American way by ordering from their dessert selection. Our recommendation would their Chendol Manis-Manis Melayu, it’s simply refreshing!
So if you’re looking for an alternative to Shake Shack, definitely feel free to give this awesome halal restaurant a go!
