ISLAM FOOD, 1950s Classics, Halal Highlights Kowloon City is where Hong Kong’s halal legends stop. And if you’re a foodie who actually cares about craft—not just “safe” menu choices—Islam Food is the kind of spot you keep finding reasons to revisit. Established in the 1950s, it’s family-run, always busy, and surprisingly unpretentious: grab takeaway, find a spot outside, and dig in while it’s piping hot.

Start with the signature pan-fried beef pockets—crispy edges, juicy center, and that “juice splurt” moment when you poke with chopsticks (go slow, it’s served blazing). Next, the beef pot stickers deliver the same obsession-worthy bite: crisp, savory, and packed with flavor. For something deeper, order the Pakistani-style curry—bright orange/red, built on heavy onions (no coconut milk), with spices tuned to suit Hong Kong’s palate.

Everything here is halal by design: careful slaughter practices, no alcohol served on-site, and a kitchen that aims to prevent cross-contamination. Whether you’re Muslim or just love bold regional food, Islam Food reads like a love letter to Hong Kong’s multicultural taste.
