The Finest Halal Cafes in Singapore

Singapore is home to a rich and thriving Muslim community, and its good influence on the overall population of Singapore is quite obvious. One well-known fact about Islam is that Muslim followers must ensure that any meat they consume is considered halal. Luckily, Muslim families and other locals have taken it upon themselves to increase the inclusivity of this wonderful island, establishing eateries that are 100% Halal.

But wait, what is considered halal?

Halal is Arabic for the word “permissible”, meaning that the religion allows the consumption of a certain dish. This certification of sorts is accompanied by a long list of guidelines outlined by the United Nations that are to be followed before certification is given. Often concerned with the process of butchering meat, the guidelines state that the chosen lawful animal must be prayed over before the butchering begins. This makes the process rather lengthy and strict, but all with respect to Islamic beliefs.

Because of the extra care put into their food, it’s important that we outline the Singaporean cafes that took the time to create meals that are not only halal but also very delicious.

If your tongue is craving something more savory, then you could never go wrong with the strong flavor notes of the salmon royale. of the Pancake, Place is the perfect place to sit down and enjoy a hot plate of fluffy goodness.

Customer Reviews

The food were amazing. The savory pancakes blew me away. The tiger prawn cream with waffles is to die for. The pancake was nice and not too sweet. Everything was great. The food, the serving size, the ambiance of the place were all pleasant. The staff was friendly and polite despite it nearing to closing time. Enjoyed the experience a lot and would pay a second visit soon. Thank you. – Amal Nazirah

Customer Reviews

Lovely cafe with a reasonable price! The waffles with ice cream were really nice, however, the drink is a little too sweet but overall the place is pleasant for a nice dating place. As the cafe is quite cozy so we can only stay 60min. – Michelle Lim

What is a cafe without coffee? I don’t know, and I don’t think I would ever want to know. The reason that the State of Affairs finds itself on this list is that it takes its coffee very seriously. Nestled in a little industrial cubby, this coffee shop invites its customers to take a seat and slow down for a moment to enjoy their house blend. This Muslim-owned coffee shop roasts its own blend of beans day in and day out, resulting in a coffee blend that is uniquely theirs.

Although the State of Affairs prides itself on its coffee, the cafe also serves Halal entrees to accompany its warm java. From pasta to croquettes, this cafe’s savory selection of meals is perfect for the Singaporean looking for a chance to hide away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, even just for a moment. When you do find yourself in-store, make sure to try their affairs of the cup espresso shot to get a coffee that is uniquely theirs. If coffee isn’t your thing, then maybe their selection of teas would fit you best instead.

Customer Reviews

My first choice out of all the cafes around Thomson. Love everything about this place. The coffee is ridiculously great, has nice minimalist decor, is chill, and friendly crew. Not the usual mainstream food menu but that’s why it stands out. My favorites are croquettes, avo bowl, and Cali steak. Will be back for more! – Emiko Harada

Being a halal cafe doesn’t always mean that you serve meat, sometimes it just means that your coffee is free from any unlawful ingredients. Kohi’s Roastery and Coffe Bar is a small hole-in-the-wall Thailand coffee chain that has found its way to Singapore. This coffee bar makes sure to avoid any unlawful alcoholic additives to their coffee, making the coffee completely halal and easy to enjoy by Muslims and non-muslims alike.

Its bright yellow panels are as bright as the flavor profiles themselves, often choosing to mix their coffee with ingredients such as tonic water or coconut to bring out the natural fruity notes of coffee. This cafe does not have a dining option, instead encouraging you to grab your coffee to go or hang out with friends around the main serving window. If you’re looking for a tasty drink with friends or simply just looking for that drive-by coffee buzz, then Kohi is the cafe for you.

Customer Reviews

We found this place by accident after taking pictures of the peranakan houses right next to this coffee shop. This place is quite special, they serve out of a window, a tiny place with only 4 tables outdoors. But the iced latte was a savior on a hot day for sure! – Kevin KW

The operators are also trying to expand beyond coffee and rather create a sustainable community by working with different businesses. On that every weekend, they had a yard sale as well as vertical farmed vegetables plus some Japanese cute/quirky glassware. – Ysl


Singapore has a lot to offer in terms of Halal cafes and restaurants. It’s amazing seeing how much a community can do as a whole in order to support each other’s beliefs, and it really speaks to the inclusivity of Singapore. These are cafes that you wouldn’t even know were halal if you weren’t looking, but the fact that they put in the extra care to be halal and be fully inclusive of the Muslim community is quite heartwarming. Next time you eat at a cafe in Singapore, whether you’re Muslim or not, try checking to see if it’s halal! You’d be surprised at just how much love and effort they put in.
