Top Halal Restaurants in Singapore Worth Booking

Every restaurant here is either halal-certified or Muslim-owned, and we say which, because that distinction matters. These are 12 favourites you can book right now, each with the dish regulars keep coming back for. The spread runs from a 1981-founded Indonesian kitchen to halal dim sum, mala hotpot and a halal-certified buffet on the lobby level of Grand Hyatt Singapore. Whether you're after a late-night dim sum in Kampong Glam or a zi char feast up north in Admiralty, there's a table for every kind of gathering.

What is the difference between halal-certified and Muslim-owned restaurants in Singapore?

Halal-certified restaurants hold a certificate from MUIS, Singapore's Islamic religious council, covering ingredients, suppliers and kitchen practices. Muslim-owned venues are run by Muslims but are not necessarily certified. On this list, Alaturka is Muslim-owned rather than certified, while Permata is both, so we label each one clearly.

Where can I find a halal buffet in Singapore?

StraitsKitchen at Grand Hyatt and Asian Market Cafe at Fairmont both run halal-certified buffets. StraitsKitchen covers Chinese, Malay, Indian and Peranakan stations and is known for its chicken rice, while Asian Market Cafe is best known for its cook-your-own laksa station, seafood on ice and chilli crab.

Is there halal dim sum in Singapore?

Yes. The Dim Sum Place on North Bridge Road is halal-certified and swaps pork for duck in Cantonese classics such as the char siew bun. Diners' favourites are the molten salted egg custard bun and Peking duck wraps, and it is the most-reviewed restaurant on this list.

Which halal restaurants in Singapore open late?

The Dim Sum Place stays open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays, Yisilan Mala Hotpot in Bedok serves until 1am nightly, and Yassin Kampung in Admiralty is open until midnight every day. All three are halal-certified according to their Chope listings, so a late supper is easy to find.

Which halal restaurants in Singapore suit large groups?

Yassin Kampung in Admiralty offers communal set menus for up to ten, and Asian Market Cafe's buffet caters to parties of 16 or more. Yisilan Mala Hotpot only takes online bookings from five diners, which makes it a natural choice for group mala nights in Bedok.
