Halal eateries in Everland
Unfortunately, there are no halal-certified eateries in Everland, so we highly recommend that you pack your own lunches and snacks or dine at these halal eateries in Seoul:
1. Eid Restaurant
A fan-favourite of all who frequent Korea, this halal Korean restaurant is still open! Specialising in authentic Korean cuisine, its delicious dishes are incredibly memorable. Try their Beef Bulgogi, one of the most ordered dishes at Eid Restaurant. Made with Halal Beef from Australia, Eid ensures that their Bulgogi is homemade with no pre-packaged sauces or MSG added!
Like all other Korean eateries, they also serve refillable banchan (side dishes), which we absolutely love. You can find this delightful halal Korean restaurant in Seoul along Itaewon's Islam Street.

2. Jipbab Kimseonseang
If you've ordered pre-packed halal dosirak (a packed meal which consists of rice, meat and side dishes) made by the halal-certified Starcatering (you can check out their website here!) for your travels around various parts of Korea, you'll be glad to know that they've opened a new physical stall in Itaewon, under the name, Jipbab Kimseonseang! You can know have their halal dosirak here too! Take your pick from a range of lunch boxes like beef bulgogi, dakgalbi (chicken ribs), jjukkumi (grilled baby octopus) and more!

3. Namisum Kkokko Chuncheon Dakgalbi
While Nami Island is not in Seoul, many travellers visiting the city will also most likely be making a trip to this famous spot. After touring Nami Island, rest your feet and fill your stomach at this restaurant! The most raved about food here is their dakgalbi so make sure you order this. The dakgalbi here is cooked differently from those in Seoul particularly because they use hotpans to cook the meat in Seoul, but here they use grills! Yum!

Halal status: Halal meat available. However, the restaurant is not halal certified. We recommend you dine at your own discretion.
