9 Best Halal Restaurants in Phuket

Some of the best halal restaurants in Phuket are found in Patong Beach, which has a big and bustling Arabic quarter south of Bangla Road. While it can be challenging for Muslim travellers to find restaurants that cater to their dietary needs, it’s quite easy to do so in the southern part of Thailand, which has a sizable Muslim community.

The island of Phuket has at least 50 mosques, many of which are surrounded by halal restaurants. These eateries are clearly marked with a green symbol to show their credentials, so you won’t need to keep coming back to 1 place just to enjoy halal dining in Phuket. However, if you’re looking for something a bit special, here are some of the best places to enjoy Muslim-friendly food around the island.
