Best Halal Restaurants in Orlando & Kissimmee: Local Favorites Worth the Drive
15
items Finding great halal food in Central Florida is easier than ever — Orlando and Kissimmee are packed with halal-friendly Indian, Turkish, Mediterranean and street-food spots. Here are my go-to halal restaurants, from quick shawarma to full family feast...
Map
Their combo platter over rice with that famous white sauce is unbeatable after a long day at the parks. Fast, filling, and right on I-Drive.
The Halal Guys
Halal-certified Indian and Indo-Chinese that locals rave about — the chicken 65 and hyderabadi biryani are the moves here. One of the most reliable halal kitchens in Orlando.
Tabla Indian Restaurant Orlando
When the biryani craving hits, this is the spot — huge portions of dum-cooked goat and chicken biryani, all halal. Great for feeding a group without breaking the bank.
Bawarchi Biryanis Orlando
A Restaurant Row classic for Lebanese food — the mixed grill and hummus are as authentic as it gets in Orlando. Perfect for a sit-down dinner with family.
Cedar's Restaurant
Tucked near I-Drive, this spot does rich, slow-cooked curries with halal meat — the lamb rogan josh is my pick. Great lunch buffet value too.
Saffron Indian Cuisine
An I-Drive favorite that halal foodies swear by — tandoori platters come out sizzling and the naan basket never lasts long. Ask about the daily chef specials.
Aashirwad Indian Food & Bar
Hyderabadi-style halal cooking with serious spice — come for the dum biryani and haleem when they have it. It gets busy on weekends, which tells you everything.
Charminar
Upscale Turkish with locations around Orlando — the lavas bread puffed up fresh at the table is worth the trip alone. Their mixed grill is a halal-friendly feast.
Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine - Lake Nona | Orlando, FL
Mumbai-style street food done right — vada pav, dosas, and chaat that taste like the real deal. Casual, buzzy, and easy on the wallet.
Bombay Street Kitchen
Biryani is the whole point here — fragrant, layered, and properly spicy, with halal meat throughout the menu. Weekend specials sell out, so go early.
Nawabi Hyderabad House
A Winter Park gem for halal-friendly Indian — elegant without being stuffy, and the garlic naan is dangerously good. Great date-night alternative to the usual spots.
Tamarind Indian Cuisine
Pure vegetarian South Indian, so everything on the menu is halal-friendly — the dosas are enormous and the thali is the best value lunch on OBT. A local institution.
Woodlands
Downtown Orlando's go-to for Greek with halal lamb — the gyro platter with lemon potatoes is a regular order for me. Family-run and it shows.
Mediterranean Blue
The chicken karahi here is the real deal - rich, spicy, and made fresh to order. One of my favorite Pakistani halal spots in Kissimmee when I want serious flavor.
Karahi Point
Classic NYC-style halal cart food - chicken over rice with that addictive white sauce. Quick, cheap, and hits the spot every time I am on the east side of Orlando.
