Orchard Road isn’t just about the retail therapy - there's delicious food to indulge in too! And there's plenty of halal food in Orchard Road to satisfy any craving that you may have! Here are 28 amazing halal eateries in Singapore's Orchard Road to go to when all that walking has worked up an appetite.
1. SO PHO
Scoot over to SO PHO for an un-pho-gettable meal! Vietnamese cuisine is a mix of sour, salty, sweet and spicy flavours, and SO PHO’s Vietnamese street food provides an authentic experience of all of them. Utter com-pho-rt food! Of course, with a name like that, it’s a safe bet to order their Vietnamese Pho topped with sliced beef, brisket, and beef balls. Its clear broth is pho-lavourful and re-pho-reshing, and not too greasy (we’re on a pun roll today!).
Speaking of rolls, if you decide to roll with it and would like to try something different, order the Fresh Noodle with Grilled Lemongrass Chicken and Fried Spring Rolls, where vermicelli is used instead of the usual flat rice noodles. Lots of flavours and textures in this bowl! If you’re a coffee fan, try the Vietnamese Drip Coffee before you leave. You might feel sleepy watching the coffee drip slowly through the filter, but Vietnamese coffee being on the stronger side, you’ll be jolted up after a sip.

2. Puncak Best Noodles
It’s possible to have a meal at Orchard Road on a budget! Head over to Puncak Best Noodles to sink your teeth into simple, homely fare, such as tze char and claypot rice, that’s comforting to both your belly and wallet. Slurp up their signature Honey Dew Chicken Noodles, a marriage of sweet and savoury flavours! Contrary to the name, no fruits were harmed in the making of these noodles. It refers to the dish’s addictively syrupy gravy and dewy appearance. Just look at that sheen!
If the noodles make you decide that shopping isn’t important anymore, stuff yourself silly with a plate of Fried Wontons too (from $5). These bite-sized snacks are so good, and they won’t make you feel like a bag of grease after an entire sitting. You’ll certainly have good fillings for these!

5. Ayam Penyet Ria
We can’t write a list about halal eateries in Orchard without mentioning the smashingly famous Ayam Penyet Ria - the chain that put ayam penyet on the Singapore map! Before its transformation into crispy heaven, the chicken is first boiled with herbs and spices and smashed to make it tender.
Regulars may insist, though, that the one thing that makes this dish so hot among customers is the sambal belacan that accompanies it. It packs such a punch that your tongue may be unconscious for a while and wake up forgetting its name. Ayam Penyet Ria even has a few vegetarian-friendly dishes on its menu, such as Gado-gado and the popular Tahu Telor, a tofu omelette with peanut sauce!

6. Bebek Goreng Pak Ndut
Psst, a little birdie told us chicken may be a little too conventional! It’s not easy to find halal duck in Singapore, much less in everyone’s favourite Ayam Penyet style. Enter Bebek Goreng Pak Ndut, which changed the game forever! Duck skin crisps up more than chicken skin after frying, making your meal extra crunchy and crispy.
If you’re bought over by its crackling goodness, order a side of Kulit Bebek Goreng / Crispy Duck Skin ($4.90). At Lucky Plaza with a friend who’s craving Ayam Penyet? Save your friendship and order the Ayam Penyet Original With Rice along with your duck - you’ll be killing two birds with one stone!

8. 4 Fingers Crispy Chicken
Another 'KFC' has stolen our hearts - and we’re not chicken-hearted to admit it! Korean fried chicken is like a neater, less greasy cousin with character - sometimes sweet, other times like spitfire! And how can anyone say no to our 4Fingers chicken being double-fried for extra crispness? An 18 Pcs Wingettes & Drumettes Combo comes with 3 servings of fries and drinks, so grab two other friends who love fried chicken as much as you do.
It’s hard to choose between their addictive Soy Garlic sauce and Hot sauce, so why not have both? The Chicken Katsu Sandwich is another breadwinner with fried chicken and kimchi slaw encased by a fried bun that’s crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside.

9. Jollibee
The biggest fast-food chain in the Philippines is a crowd-pleaser the world over, and 4 years after its opening in Singapore, the queues haven’t quite settled down. But don’t cry fowl yet! We think Jollibee is well worth the wait, and with how reasonable the prices are, we’ll certainly wing it.
Their Chickenjoy does live up to its name. One of the best fried chicken in Singapore, it’s tender, flavorful, and juicy, with skin so crisp, it doesn’t turn soggy when dipped in the delicious accompanying gravy. Eaten with rice, it’s oh-so-comforting. Also, do try the Spaghetti if your belly yearns to be extra Jolli - it’s done Filipino-style and is sweeter than the usual tomato-based spaghetti.

Their broth pots and seafood platters come with scallops, mussels, prawns, clams, and more! You can even choose between flavours for your broth pot including Mad About Cheese, Bouillabaisse, and "Oppa" Korean style!

12. The Soup Spoon
For the uninitiated, The Soup Spoon's concept is that soups can be a meal on its own, and all of their soups are prepared from fresh, wholesome ingredients. They are not only nutritious but yummy and filling too. You might have seen their halal-certified Take-Home soup packs in supermarkets before this but it's better now because you can dine in their stores too! The reason why they decided to go halal is due to their aspiration of bringing cultures together and hence, they wanted to cater to the diverse dining needs of customers. So, yay, more halal options for us!
