While it is a Muslim-majority country and Halal food is therefore easy to find, this is our guide to the top Halal restaurants in Bandar Seri Begawan, so that all those choices don’t overwhelm you!

This is probably the most popular restaurant that serves authentic Brunei food. It is most known for its ambuyat, a thick starchy porridge that is a signature dish – and one of the most popular Halal dishes – of Brunei. If you want to leave Brunei with the taste of the food engraved in your memory (or your tongue), this is where it will happen. Great food, good service, and affordability all make it a top Halal restaurant with locals and tourists alike. With multiple branches in Brunei, the one in Kilap is the closest to Bandar Seri Begawan.

We can’t talk about Halal food without mentioning Arabic cuisine. Gwad Basha serves Lebanese, Mediterranean and Arabic cuisine, and is most loved for its grilled dishes – and who doesn’t love a place that can cook their meat to perfection? The mixed grill and kebabs are said to be some of the best Halal dishes in Brunei. While it is a little heavy on the wallet, the food is well worth it!
