Here’s a list of the Halal/ Muslim-friendly restaurants in Seoul for our recent trip to South Korea.
1. EID – 이드 Halal Korean Food (IG)
5. Grilled Fish Alley at Dongdaemun
There are plenty of Halal restaurants at Itaewon, but the one went to are Eid and Makan restaurant both are the more popular ones and run by locals that we had to give it a try!
1. Eid Restaurant

How to get to Eid Restaurant in Itaewon, Seoul:
Exit 3 of Itaewon station. Continue to walk straight as you step out of the exit and turn right at the first junction. Then, turn left at the third alley/ road.
It is about 15 min walk and uphill for most parts. It might not be convenient to have it every day, especially with luggage or with elderly.
Menu:
When we arrived for dinner, there were limited items on the menu. Only 4 dishes displayed on the ipad, but nonetheless, the meals were delicous!
Tips: Make reservation, especially if you will be arriving at lunch or dinner time as the space is quite small.
and especially during winter as you would want to wait outside in the cold night, like we did.
