10 Best Halal Restaurants in Singapore (2026) — Non-Malay Cuisine, From Korean BBQ to Indian Chinese

MUIS (Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura) is the official halal certification body in Singapore. A MUIS-certified restaurant has passed full audits covering ingredient sourcing, kitchen operations, supply chains, cross-contamination protocols, and staff training. Look for the MUIS halal logo on the restaurant's signage or website. 'No pork no lard' is NOT the same as halal — only MUIS certification (or recognised foreign equivalent like JAKIM Malaysia) counts.

Captain Kim is the most-recommended MUIS-halal Korean hotpot/BBQ chain — locations in Woodlands, Clementi, and Tampines, with 60+ items including marinated meats. NeNe Chicken (multiple outlets) is halal-certified for Korean fried chicken. Seoul Garden HotPot at multiple malls is halal. For more upscale halal Korean, try 8 Korean BBQ at Tanjong Pagar.

Mostly not — traditional dim sum (siu mai, char siu bao) uses pork, so most major dim sum restaurants (Tim Ho Wan, Crystal Jade, Wah Lok) are NOT halal. The Dim Sum Place is the most-recommended MUIS-halal dim sum spot — reservations recommended a week ahead. Tian Tian Yuan also serves halal dim sum. Tim Sum Magic offers halal dim sum delivery + dine-in at multiple locations.

Zam Zam at North Bridge Road (since 1908) is arguably the most famous halal restaurant in Singapore — legendary for murtabak (chicken/mutton), nasi briyani, and roti prata. JUMBO Seafood spinoff Mutiara Seafood is the most-talked-about new entrant for halal Singapore-style seafood (chilli crab, salted egg prawns). Both are MUIS-certified.
