Halal Korean restaurants – Seoul (part1)

To be honest, it is very hard for Muslim (Halal) people to eat in South Korea. Why ?

Well, I am pretty sure you know how much Korean people love eating meat, so there is meat EVERYWHERE when you want to buy food in a Korean convenient store, in bread, in every kimbap you can find even the ones on which it is written tuna mayonnaise, in cakes …. EVERYWHERE. So, the first alternative is to cook at home … However, we are lucky because these days, as the muslim community is growing in South Korea (among foreigners) more and more restaurants have decided to cook using halal meat. However, these muslim friendly restaurants are for the moment, only to be found around Itaewon and Noksapyong.

One of my favorite ones is HalalfoodKorea known for its delicious korean traditional dishes all made with halal meat.

It has opened just a few months ago but it is already the 11th top-ranked restaurant in South Korea and is certified by KMF ( Korean Muslim Federation).

What I also really like about this restaurant is that it targets foreign students and young costumers so it is very affordable and way less expensive than any other halal restaurants. As you can see on the menu, the prices go from 2500 to 12000 wons (which is about from 2 to 9 dollars). They also deliver food everywhere in Seoul, so if you are too lazy to go you can order ! So now let me show you what you can eat in this charming place.
