The restaurant offers a yummy menu of not just Korean cuisine such as samye-tang (ginseng chicken soup), kimchi jjigae, bulgogi rice, and bindae-tteok (mung bean pancakes), but also Malaysian dishes such as ayam bakar nasi goreng, and teh tarik, in case you're missing flavours that are from closer to home.

    4. Busan Jib Halal Food

    After a long and tiring day of shopping in Myeongdong, nothing beats the comfort of a delicious meal that you can tuck into. Despite the name, this restaurant residing in the heart of Seoul offers a menu of comforting, local meals!
    Most people come here for their delicious Halal BBQ. We heard the lady boss is also extremely friendly and accommodating, so that's definitely a plus.
    • Address: 11-4 Myeongdong 8-gil, Myeong-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea

    Now, what is a visit to Korea without BBQ, right? While it’s almost impossible to find a halal-friendly restaurant, all hope is not lost yet! Yang Good BBQ in Gangnam uses Halal-certified meat imported from Australia. Their lamb meat comes marinated and non-marinated. However, do note that since this restaurant is also popular amongst locals, they do serve alcohol as well.
    • Address: 15, Nonhyeon-ro 95-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea

    6. The Halal Guys Itaewon

    If you've had your fair share of Korean food and are craving something different, we'd suggest adding The Halal Guys to your food checklist! With humble beginnings operating out of food trucks in New York City, The Halal Guys is where you can get legendary falafels, gyros, and chicken sandwiches. They also sell rice and chicken bowls that are extremely filling, delicious, and available at affordable price tags. All ingredients used are 100% halal certified, and it's also popular amongst vegetarians and vegans in Seoul.

    While Osegyehyang is not explicitly a Halal-certified restaurant, it is, however, a soy-based vegan restaurant. Located in Insadong, you can dine at ease and try a couple of their plant-based dishes like ttukbulgui (stone bowl veggie meat), bulgui deopbap (veggie meat rice) and more. Using high-quality soy protein and perilla oil in their ingredients, you’ll definitely feel good after your meal.
    • Address: 14-5 Insadong 12-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul

    8. Balwoo Gongyang

    Another plant-based restaurant highly worth a visit in Seoul is Balwoo Gongyang. Following the principles of Buddhism and traditional Korean cuisine, they use only organic vegetarian food in their cooking. They also exclude the use of pungent vegetables like scallions, onions, chives, leeks, and garlic. While it doesn’t seem like it’s much on paper, the food sure is good as the Michelin guide can attest to.
    • Address: 56 Ujeongguk-ro, Jongno 1(il).2(i).3(sam).4(sa), Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea

    9. BoA Travel House

    While it’s not a full-fledged restaurant per se, this guesthouse in Hongdae is known for its homemade halal dosirak (Korean packed lunchbox). Not only catering to the Muslim customers of BoA Travel House, but you can also dine in the restaurant of the guesthouse or order your dosirak to go!
    • Address: 15, Sinchon-ro 1-gil, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea 120836

    10. Agak Agak

    Agak Agak specialises in Malaysian food, so if you are missing your favourite Nasi Lemak or Satay, here's the place to go to! Other favourites include yummy soup bihun (perfect for when it's cold outside), ayam goreng, and more!
    • Address: 57 Donggyo-ro 25-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea

    11. Manis Kitchen

    While Nami Island is not in Seoul, many travellers visiting the city will also most likely be making a trip to this famous spot. While restaurants and cafes are abundant in Nami Island, looking for a Halal spot may prove challenging. In Dongmoon, you can find a selection of local favourites as well as other Asian cuisines.
    • Address: 198 Bangha-ri, Namsan-myeon, Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, South Korea
