Halal food in Padang

Padang, the capital of West Sumatra, is an excellent destination for halal food as it is a Muslim-majority region with strong Islamic culinary traditions. Halal options are abundant and widespread throughout the city, with Padang's famous rendang, satay, and fish dishes being naturally halal by practice. Finding non-halal food is harder than finding halal here.
