Halal Food in Hanoi 2026: Pho, Banh Mi and More by Area

Finding halal food in Hanoi is easier than many travelers expect, as long as you know where to look. Most of the options are in and around the Old Quarter, several of them on or near Hàng Lược street, where the city's mosque stands. You can eat halal pho and banh mi there, as well as Pakistani, Indian, Palestinian and Malay food. The West Lake (Tây Hồ) area adds a few more, including Lebanese and Egyptian restaurants.

One honest note before you start. Vietnam has no public register of halal restaurants that we could check, and none of the restaurants below names a certifying body on its listing. Each one either puts halal (or Muslim) in its own name on its map listing, or is described as halal by visitors in 2026, and we say which in each entry. Ask the staff about the meat and about alcohol when you arrive.

The short answer

Stay in or near the Old Quarter (Hoàn Kiếm district). There you can have halal pho on Đồng Xuân street, banh mi opposite the mosque on Hàng Lược, and Pakistani or Middle Eastern food for dinner. If you are staying in the West Lake area, Baraka, Habibi and Mawlana are in Tây Hồ district.

The mosque on Hàng Lược

Masjid Al-Noor is at 12 Hàng Lược in the northern part of the Old Quarter. Check before you go: as of November 2026, Google Maps lists the mosque as temporarily closed, and a visitor in January 2026 reported construction work to expand it. A visitor in June 2026 mentions going to the mosque during the Friday sermon. Ask at one of the halal restaurants on the same street for the current situation.

Zaynab Restaurant is also at 12 Hàng Lược, beside the mosque. The restaurant is inside the building, so look for the Zaynab sign outside. Visitors in 2026 describe its Vietnamese dishes, such as pho and beef with rice, as halal.

Practical tips

• Ask, every time. None of the restaurants above names a certifying body. Ask whether the meat is halal and whether alcohol is served.
• A few Vietnamese words help. Thịt lợn means pork in Hanoi (thịt heo in the south), bia means beer and rượu means liquor. "Không" means no.
• Beef pho is not automatically halal. A beef broth says nothing about how the meat was slaughtered. Use the shops above, or ask.

What we could and could not verify

How we checked (November 2026): for each restaurant we confirmed on its current map listing that it is open, looked at the name the restaurant gives itself on that listing, and read visitor reviews dated 2026. We left out restaurants for which we could only find older sources, and restaurants whose only halal basis was their name with no recent visitor mention. We have not seen a halal certificate at any of these restaurants. Addresses come from the restaurants' map listings and may change. Confirm anything that matters to you when you arrive, and tell us if something is outdated. We correct within 7 days.
