22 Best Halal Restaurants in Singapore – Reviewed

Whether it’s out of dietary restrictions or personal preference, you might want to know where the best halal restaurants in Singapore are. Lucky for you, that’s what today’s post is all about.

Before taking that first bite (which we kind of did for you), let’s look at how much halal food costs.

Is it expensive to eat at halal restaurants in Singapore?

Halal restaurants in Singapore represent a wide range of cuisine and prices, from highly affordable to wildly expensive. 

For instance, most fast-food joints in the country like McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, KFC, and Wendy’s have received halal certification from The Islamic Council of Singapore (MUIS). This means you can have halal food for as cheap as S$2!

On the other hand, there are also fine dining halal restaurants in Singapore. Anything from prime steak to lobster can be halal and can cost as much as S$150 per serving.

That said, we made sure to review a good representation of all possible halal cuisines in today’s post.

How We Picked

To present only the top halal restaurants near you, we used the following criteria:

Halal certification – The restaurants need to have followed strict halal certification requirements.

Ambience – Is the space, setting, service, and overall atmosphere conducive to a good dining experience?

Value for money – Do the food quality, portions, taste, and general dining experience justify the price?

Selection of dishes – We looked for halal restaurants with a good range, or unique handling of dishes, on the menu.

Sampanman is a standout restaurant for seafood enthusiasts in Singapore, offering a unique halal-certified dining experience right on the water. Our visit was a delightful journey through flavors, atmosphere, and exceptional service.

From the moment we stepped onto the boat, we were captivated by the ambiance. The nautical-themed decor combined with the gentle rocking of the waves created a relaxing atmosphere perfect for family gatherings or romantic dinners. The restaurant’s setting adds an exciting twist to dining out, making it a memorable experience.

We indulged in the seafood platter, which showcased a generous selection of fresh catches. Each dish was expertly prepared, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The highlight for us was the signature sambal prawns—spicy, sweet, and cooked to perfection. The freshness of the seafood was evident, and we appreciated the generous portions, which were perfect for sharing.

The staff at Sampanman were friendly and attentive, ensuring that we felt welcome throughout our meal. Their recommendations were spot-on, helping us navigate the menu and choose dishes that catered to our taste preferences.

Sampanman successfully combines the charm of a boat dining experience with top-notch halal seafood, making it a must-visit for locals and tourists alike. We left with satisfied palates and plans to return soon for another round of their delectable offerings. Whether you’re a seafood lover or just looking for a unique dining experience, Sampanman is sure to impress!

Customer Reviews

“Great family spot, made a reservation for 6 and seated immediately when we arrived. Limited seats available so make your reservations. Convenient ordering through their QR code. Service was quick and food arrived shortly after ordering. Good portions and their fried items were great! Definitely recommend the calamari. The XL boat is good for 6 of us. Total price for dinner cost us $288+. Of course, nice atmosphere at the Jewel, especially near the fountain. Will come again to try their other sauces.”

“The sauce was really delicious and the soup was rich and flavorful. And we love the huge customized Sampan boat, that kept the food warm. Drinks were enjoyable too. Seafood was always overpriced in Singapore, but we were very satisfied with the entire meal. Moreover, the outside seats were ideally located next to the iconic waterfall. Sampanman tends to get crowded, and there may be queue.”

Cajun on Wheels (C.O.W.) is a gem for seafood lovers in Singapore, and our recent visit was nothing short of amazing. As a halal-certified restaurant, it offers a premium seafood experience that caters to a diverse audience, ensuring everyone can enjoy its delicious offerings without compromise.

Upon entering the Plaza Singapura outlet, we were greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for families, friends, or even solo diners looking for a quick lunch break. The decor captures the essence of Louisiana and New Orleans, setting the stage for a delightful culinary journey.

We opted for the seafood bucket, and it was a feast for the senses. The fresh seafood was cooked to perfection, infused with vibrant flavors that truly reflect the spirit of Cajun cuisine. Each bite was a burst of taste, and the variety of seafood was impressive. We appreciated the generous portions and the opportunity to dig in with our hands, creating a fun and interactive dining experience.

Moreover, the staff at Cajun on Wheels were friendly and attentive, making sure our needs were met and our dining experience was seamless. Their knowledge of the menu and recommendations helped us choose the best dishes to satisfy our cravings.

Cajun on Wheels has certainly earned its spot as a top pick among Asian diners, thanks to its dedication to quality and flavor. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in fresh, flavorful seafood in a lively setting. We can’t wait to return for another round of their mouthwatering dishes!

Customer Reviews

“Is way better than going to Dancing Crab as the portion of Seafoods provided are MORE which makes every $$ worth it! Is a halal restaurant. As usual, it was super long queue and lucky we made reservation of seats & timing in advance. We ordered the Olympian Bucket ($165) for 4 adults & a 10yrs old kid. On top of that we added the drinks, rice & bbq chicken wings to share. Fresh Seafoods with salted egg sauce was amazingly good! The bbq chicken wings cannot be missed too!! It really finger licking with crispy skin and juicy meat inside. The bucket we ordered included 2 Sri Lanka crabs inside, all of us had a satifying meal that night!” — Karen Lee

“Quite decent for a seafood place, with the generous offerings and portion. We had Giant Squid Combo and Grilled Tiger Prawn Combo. Both combos come with choice of sides (corn / cauliflower / fries) and the carbs (pilaf rice / white rice / aglio olio). Both Pilaf Rice and Aglio Olio have got taste and good to eat on its own. There were 4 pieces of huge Tiger Prawns for the combo. Prices are economical for the serving that they served. Downside, it can get pretty warm even though its in an air-conditioned place.” — Reizman Zulkarnaien

Fancying a good halal steak but don’t have the budget for expensive steakhouses? As we discovered, Royz et Vous can happily offer something affordable for your craving.

We particularly enjoyed the rendang duck pasta which is about as Peranakan as you can imagine. It’s coated in a piquant sauce that the cafe says is always made in-house from scratch.

Royz et Vous is open daily, but you’ll need to make a reservation, as the operating hours change from one day to the next. But we reckon it’s worth checking out for its wide menu and affordably priced meats.

Customer Reviews

Food was delicious, staff was warm

“Had dinner at the location as it was my son’s 12th birthday. When we told the staff that, they actually surprised us with a complimentary cheesecake for the birthday boy and sang him a birthday song! It was a sweet gesture from the restaurant. The staff went the extra mile to update me on what will take place before they brought the cake out and even asked for my boy’s name! My boy was smiling from ear to ear that night. The food was delicious and the staff was definitely warm and friendly and spent some time chitchatting with us too, especially Chef Budi! We feel like family. Thank you for such a memorable night for us!” – Hajar Samon

If you’re like us who want their pasta handmade and always fresh, then Tipo Pasta Bar might be right up your alley. The dough is also imaginatively flavoured so you can expect a yummy experience with any order.

The Strada branch in particular has a menu that covers red, white, and pink sauces, plus plenty of add-ons. But if you want to go for classics, consider Tipo’s favourites like the prawn aglio and creamy crab pasta.

A post shared by TIPO (@tiposg)

We went for the prawn aglio pasta because we were feeling “shellfish” (hah!) and loved every bite of it. And you can bet that we took advantage of the free toppings and sprinkled our dish liberally with chilli flakes!

So if pasta customisation is what you’re looking for, look no further than Tipo. However, the only other offerings at the Strada outlet are snack plates which might not be enough for some picky diners.

“Halia” means “ginger” in Malay, so its location and dishes are pretty spot-on. Situated at the Ginger Garden of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, this scenic halal restaurant is an Instagram-worthy place to get a hearty lunch or dinner.

If you’re out on a stroll, this is a great place to catch brunch. Its Asian fusion menu is a thoughtful curation of breakfast, brunch, lunch, specials, and kids’ dishes with ginger as a commonly-used ingredient. 

We felt spoilt for choice with one look at its extensive offerings. But wanting protein, we ordered the King Island striploin and were happy that it already came with a side of sauteed spinach!

But while most of the dishes are affordable, some are subject to market prices and availability. It’s best to ask the server about them before ordering so as not to experience bill shock.

Like your halal food spicy, crunchy, and juicy? Then Chix Hot Chicken’s range of crispy fried chicken is something you’ll simply have to taste.

Inspired by Nashville fried chicken’s recipe, the hot pepper-infused wings, tenders, and sandwiches are not for the faint-hearted. The restaurant also has some choice sides and shakes to complement the meal.

We tried the hot chicken tenders with “hot” heat because we’re not brave enough to sample the “insane” or “atomic”. But if you’re courageous, we recommend getting a thick milkshake to drown the spiciness as we did.

That said, it’s a spicy chicken restaurant through and through and little else. But Chix Hot Chicken is still an adventurous halal foray if you love your chicken with a scorching Scoville unit.

Yes, authentic Italian fare can be halal, too. And Kucina Italian Restaurant is headed by an Italian Muslim with over three decades of restaurant experience.

For diners like us who like literally seeing where their food is coming from, Kucina’s open kitchen showcases how the food is made and carefully plated. This means we got to witness all the fresh ingredients that the meals are made of.

Based on our experience, one of its must-try dishes is the cioppino. This hearty seafood stew hit all the right notes without making us feel guilty for indulging afterwards.

The ambience is upscale but fun and relaxed, with brick walls and warm lights all over. The menu prices are a bit high, though, especially for mains like the bistecca and handmade pasta dishes.

The Great Mischief is out to prove that halal food is not boring and can even be elevated into an art form (literally). It aims to combine art, heritage, and bold cuisine under one roof.

Located at the National Gallery of Singapore, the Catalan-influenced menu is inspired by the art nouveau style in its plating and styling. It serves brunch, lunch, and dinner with simple yet carefully curated starters, mains, desserts, and drinks.

If it’s hot out and you want something light, refreshing, yet filling, try the feta melon salad. It provided a fresh pairing to the somewhat heavy cordero pasta we ordered.

You can call it a halal fine dining experience, with an emphasis on fine art. It’s a bit pricey, but The Great Mischief promises a multi-sensory experience for those who want to deviate from the usual halal food service.

Boasting a classic French roasting technique, Poulet has become a favourite place to celebrate many special occasions. Its signature dishes are simple—almost rustic—yet hearty and comforting at the same time.

We love that this French bistro offers four different sauces for its classic roast chicken. There’s black pepper cream, cranberry, mushroom cream, and Diane sauce to choose from.

There are also some pretty good starters and sides like truffle mashed potatoes, French onion soup, and roasted Brussels sprouts. 

Some of them are a bit pricey, though certain orders of the half and whole signature roast chicken dishes already come with two sides.

If you want a bit of everything, we recommend the set lunches. For just around S$30, you’ll have a great choice of appetisers, a main course, dessert, and non-alcoholic beverages.

But we think this Best Halal Restaurant awardee for 2020 would be perfect if it opens up a breakfast menu.

The Bravery aims to balance its food offerings with sweet, salty, and sour tastes—even in its desserts. If you’re curious how it succeeds in its mission, we recommend getting a reservation ASAP.

It has an all-day breakfast menu along with pasta dishes, mains, starters, and beverages that are all affordable. You can go for a simple meal like eggs on toast or one that requires a full day’s advance ordering like a tomahawk steak.

So our dilemma became: simple or full meal? Since it was our first visit and was rather spontaneous, we couldn’t order in advance and decided to go for a big brekkie with really good sourdough, juicy lamb sausages, and a side salad.

It’s too bad that The Bravery is closed on Mondays, and that it closes early from Tuesday to Thursday. But we’ll gladly take the 9 AM to 9:30 PM weekday hours to gorge on great halal fare.

For a gustatory and visual trip to Morrocco without leaving Singapore, you can’t go wrong with dining at La Fez. It’s got a distinctively pink façade and interiors that recall its vibrancy.

Feeling extra peckish, we tried the rich and filling lamb vindaloo with a side of plain biryani. Someone in our group wanted to order extra plain naan to mop up the delicious gravy, but we managed to polish everything up without it!

It’s best to book a table in advance, though, as most of the outlets can get crowded. And take note that the Changi outlet is closed on Sundays, unlike the rest which is open every single day.

Noosh is open daily, which is great. However, it’s not open for breakfast, which is a bit of a letdown.

Are you a fan of bone toolang? Then why not visit the Tash Tish Tosh in Singapore for your marrow-slurping fix?

If you do like your toolang traditional as a marrow-slurping purist, you might find the rich gravy and spices here a bit off-putting. As for us, we actually liked the sharing experience complete with pizza dough bread!

The restaurant serves generous portions, providing good value for your money. But we feel slightly let down that it’s closed on Tuesdays and between 2:30 PM and 4:30 PM on weekdays.

Saffrons has become a go-to halal caterer for special occasions like weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays. A taste of one of their speciality biryani dishes can tell you why.

We love rice as much as any Singaporean, so levelling up our carb intake is a well-planned affair (due to our expanding waistlines). Sampling Saffrons’ signature dishes means several of us can share the carb-fest at once.

Crowd-favourites include the nasi minyak orang kahwin platter, the lamb shank biryani platter, and other mouth-watering dishes. The downside is that some of these dishes are only available on certain days within a certain delivery time.

The good news is that two of Saffrons’ outlets are open 24 hours a day, so you can get your biryani fix any time the craving hits! And most of the menu items are highly affordable, too.

Aisyah is a restaurant that aims to bring the authentic taste of the largest Muslim province in China, Xinjiang, to Singapore. This halal eatery on Telok Ayer offers a wide array of starters, noodles, vegetables, and savoury dishes at great rates.

For your carb fix, there are yummy rice dishes and noodles to choose from. And its main offerings are protein-rich in the form of braised mutton platters, big chicken plates, and more.

We especially love the build-your-own dumpling option that comes with different mats and sauces. We got to choose the type of meat (beef, mutton, or chicken), if we wanted it spicy, fried, or as a soup, and we got our signature noodle-dumpling dish!

Now, if only it opened on Sundays, we can see ourselves being here all the time. 

Customer Reviews

Everything was delicious!

“Such a wonderful Makan experience! My friend and I ordered the spicy braised mutton noodle (best dish for me!), big plate chicken, fried chicken wanton, black fungus and the kailan with garlic. Everything was so delicious!

The auntie & uncle couple were so attentive and funny – auntie kindly topped up our soup when she saw us enjoying it and uncle kept a close eye on us enjoying our food. Just be warned if your stomach isn’t used to this kind of spicy food, it’d probably complain a little after. But no regrets!” – Sher Altway

Beautiful dumplings

“Beautiful dumplings and hand-pulled noodles. Delicious!” – Taryn Wright

For an authentic taste of Patthalung, we recommend trying out Koh Nangkam. It’s best known for its seabass recipes that can be anything from sweet, sour, and spicy. 

It’s especially ideal for families or groups wanting a hearty meal to share at affordable rates. A family set for four is just around or under S$30 and already comes with a huge platter of rice, drinks, and several entrees.

Since most platters are for sharing, we recommend visiting the restaurant during family dinners or gatherings with friends and colleagues. The sea bass can be prepared in several different ways so everyone can enjoy it.

Koh Nangkam is open daily, though it’s more practical to get a reservation, as the admin and staff might be on a break. Or you can opt for a third-party delivery if you’d rather eat at home.
