Manila has a growing halal food scene, primarily concentrated in Muslim-majority areas like Quiapo and Binondo, and around the National Museum complex. While fully certified halal restaurants are limited, there are several Muslim-owned establishments and pork-free eateries that cater to halal dietary needs. International halal chains and Middle Eastern restaurants are increasingly available in business districts.
