Quick answer: Finding halal food in Bangkok is easy once you know what to look for: a “halal-certified” mark from the Central Islamic Council of Thailand, not just “Muslim-friendly.” Al Saray is a fully halal-certified Lebanese and Indian restaurant with three branches — Silom (BTS Sala Daeng), Soonvijai (next to Bangkok Hospital), and Sathorn — open daily, rated 4.7★. Reserve on Chope.
“Halal-certified” vs “Muslim-friendly”
Not every restaurant that avoids pork is halal. Two things to check:
- Certification — a genuine halal certificate (issued in Thailand by the Central Islamic Council) means the kitchen, ingredients and process were inspected
- The whole menu — at a certified restaurant like Al Saray, every dish is halal, so you don’t have to read the menu defensively
Where to eat halal in Bangkok
