Best Halal Restaurants in Malaysia

1. Amber Chinese Muslim Restaurant

Founded in 2009, Amber brings the most authentic Northwest Chinese traditional cuisine to the Land of Indigenous Malay. They now have grown to open restaurants in 3 locations in Malaysia, with each of them becoming the local’s favourite oriental cuisine. Offering a comprehensive all-Halal menu – most using mutton and beef as the base material – you can expect to have an enjoyable experience with their extensive menu choices and fine food quality. 

The Amber restaurant itself is a great place to unwind and relax your mind after a long day or week of work. The place is simple yet modern and cosy and is perfect whether it’s for dining on your own, intimate dining for two or even a private party. They even have separate private rooms with up to 30 seating capacities and their own AV system for truly sensational private dining!

2. Chopsticks by Muhammad Oon

If you live in Kuala Lumpur and love Chinese food, there’s no way you never try the Chopsticks by Muhammad Oon restaurant. It’s a must-try halal Chinese food because the food is so good yet affordable, and you’ll find their service to be fast and super friendly despite the restaurant always being full of visitors. Upon visiting, make sure you try one of their favourite menus like Yang Chow Fried Rice, Tomyam, Vegetable Curry, and Premium Chinese Tea. Plus, we bet you’ll be surprised with their Halal Hokkien – it’s the closest to authenticity you can get!

They recently opened new locations in Bangsar and Sri Hartamas. And they accept food delivery via Shopee Food and Grab Food too for when you’re feeling lazy.

3. Halab

Step into the world of Middle Eastern cuisine from Arab and Syrian in the Halab restaurant all in one place. Their secret of delicacy lies not only in the authentic recipes but also in their effort to take time to select naturally-sourced meats and seafood that don’t contain any raging hormones and antibiotics. Plus, their modern and exquisite interior is what also makes dining here a pleasant experience. 

Some foods you should try at Halab are kebab, shawarma, hummus with lamb, chicken mandy and mixed grill, all of which are served in big portions that satisfy your craving. Open every day from 10am to 2am, Halab is rated 4.4 from over 2,000 Google reviews.

4. TTDI Meatpoint

Enjoy a fine dining experience in a halal setting and requirements at the TTDI Meatpoint. It isn’t just about Halal steak; the restaurant serves the finest quality of meat from Halal sources and lets the customer choose the size of the meat according to their liking, as well as how well done they want it to be. The halal meat selections are also extensive, offering the likes of Wagyu, Black Angus, Grain Fed, Lamb, and more. 

Dreaming of a romantic dinner for you and your significant other? They can arrange it especially for you, too!

5. Sambal Lalapan

Despite just opening in 2020, Sambal Lalapan has been a favourite destination for Javanese who miss the authentic cuisine of their homeland. The island of Java is known for being an exotic land full of spices and legends, so you can expect their food to be tasty and flavourful on the palate. Once you try one of their Nasi Pecel, Bebek Goreng Lalapan, Dendeng Lalapan or Gulai Kambing, we bet you’ll want to come back for another! Planning a party or a celebration? order their Nasi Tumpeng to celebrate your special day in a true Indonesian way!

6. Homst

Looking for something affordable yet delicious? The Homst restaurant offers a humble dining experience and probably one of the best Chinese foods you’ll ever taste. Founded in 2007 by Yusoff Lau Bin Abdullah, Homst was actually a pioneer in Chinese Muslim cuisine and it’s now available in various locations including Wangsa Maju, Shah Alam, Kajang, Bangi, Cyberjaya, Putrajaya, Setia Alam and Kampung Baru. Everything on their menu is guaranteed to be delicious, but if there’s one thing you can’t miss, it’s their Asam Steamed Fish!
