Not just Boracay...

Kowloon is a bustling hub of culture, shopping, and street life, and for Muslim travellers, it’s also becoming a haven for halal food. From Indian curries to Middle Eastern grills, Western comfort food, and local snacks, Kowloon offers halal‑certified options for every craving. Here’s my guide to 15 halal spots you shouldn’t miss when exploring this vibrant part of Hong Kong.

If you love South Indian cuisine, Anjappar Dakshin is a must-visit. Famous for its Chettinad‑style dishes, this restaurant guarantees that all its meat is halal, so you can enjoy their biryanis, tandoori chicken, prawn dishes, and South Indian breads like dosa and parotta without worry. The Tsim Sha Tsui branch is cosy yet spacious, perfect for a hearty lunch or dinner after exploring the area. Their menu is broad, expect fragrant biryanis (chicken, mutton or prawn), creamy curries, tandoori mains, breads such as garlic naan, dosa or parotta, and even vegetarian/vegan-friendly options.

Located near Jordan Road, Avanti Bistro is a halal‑certified spot that offers a mix of international and casual bistro dishes. I love popping by for a light meal or snack, especially when you’re wandering through Yau Ma Tei. While the menu isn’t huge, the dishes are wholesome and ideal for travellers looking for a simple yet halal‑friendly dining experience.
Address: 37A-37B Jordan Rd, Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong

Craving a burger? Burger Mate has you covered. Halal‑certified and centrally located in Tsim Sha Tsui, it’s perfect for a quick Western‑style meal. Their classic burgers, chicken sandwiches, and sides are satisfying and convenient for a lunch break in between sightseeing. It’s one of my go‑to stops for a casual, no‑fuss halal meal in Kowloon.

For Middle Eastern cuisine, Bushra is a hidden gem. Halal‑certified and offering a range of mezze, grilled meats, and kebabs, it’s ideal for dinner or a relaxed evening out. What I love about Bushra is how rich and varied its menu is: start with a mezze platter (think creamy hummus, smoky eggplant‑based mungtabal or baba ghanoush, nutty muhammara, all served with soft pita bread), then move to mains such as juicy charcoal‑grilled shish tawook, lamb or mixed charcoal grill, or go for hearty dishes like lamb kofta or a rice‑based chicken/pilaf dish with nuts and spices. The flavours are authentic, and the portions are generous, perfect if you want something different from Indian or Western food while exploring Kowloon. The vibe is also top‑notch: lounge & terrace seating, sometimes even live music or a more “night‑out” feel, which I think gives it a bit of flair.

I find it ideal if you’re after something simple and easy rather than a heavy full meal.
