Best Halal Restaurants in Mississauga, Ontario

Zauq has close to 14,000 Google reviews at 4.6. The draw is the menu: Pakistani karahi and BBQ on one side, Indo Chinese Hakka on the other, so the family member who wants chilli chicken and the one who wants karahi can both be happy. The chicken karahi and the BBQ family platter are the orders that come up most in reviews.

The room is modern and there are express lunches on weekdays. Zauq also has a catering business and an event space. The common complaint is waiting to be served when it’s busy, so give yourself time on a Friday night.

Butt Karahi started in Lahore in 1979, and the Mississauga branch brings that Lahori karahi tradition to the GTA. Reviewers name the chicken karahi most often, followed by the goat karahi and the Lahori fried fish. The chicken cheese roll is a popular starter.

The dining room is large and suited to families. At 4.7 from about 4,600 reviews, it’s one of the best rated Pakistani restaurants in the city. There’s a second branch at Ridgeway Plaza. The restaurant says it is 100% halal with fresh cut meat but doesn’t name a certifier, so ask if that matters to you.

The Kebob is a long running, locally owned Pakistani spot in a Malton strip plaza, a few minutes from Pearson Airport. HMA certifies every item on the menu except dishes made with paya (trotters), and that’s the kind of detail worth knowing before you order. Beef kebabs, ribs, lamb chops and karahi are the usual orders.

It’s a laid back place rather than a destination restaurant, and reviews are mixed on consistency, with one recent diner calling the rice overcooked and the chicken pieces small. The kebabs are the safer bet.

Afghan Flame calls itself halal fine dining, and with almost 11,000 reviews at 4.7, it has the numbers to back it up. The platters are the reason to go. The meat lovers platter and the mixed grill platter each come loaded with kabobs, chicken and grilled vegetables, alongside naan, salad and rice. Reviewers single out the lamb chops too.

Service gets frequent praise, and it’s the most obvious halal choice in Mississauga for a celebration without alcohol on the tables. It opens at 11am. There’s a second location on Tomken Road.

Mama Fatma is in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide, and the inspectors picked out the same things regulars love: kebabs charred over coals, pita that puffs up in the wood burning oven, and small beef dumplings in garlicky yogurt (kayseri mantı). The mixed meze platter, with baba ghanoush, ezme and pembe sultan, is a good way to start.

Portions are generous and the family platters are built for sharing, which is why the MICHELIN Guide describes it as a hit with large groups. It’s in the Meadowvale North Shopping Centre.

If you’ve only had mandi once, Monasaba is where to try it again. More than 700 reviews mention the lamb, which is slow cooked and served over spiced rice with fried onions. The chicken mandi is the lighter option. Finish with a cup of Shahi Adani, the sweet Yemeni milk tea.

This Dundas West branch is small, with limited seating, and most people take their food home. At 4.6 from about 6,600 reviews, it’s one of the most popular halal spots in the city. Monasaba also has a branch at Ridgeway Plaza.

Mandi Afandi is Monasaba’s main rival for Yemeni slow cooked meat, and it has one clear advantage: it stays open until 1am. Reviewers praise the lamb, chicken and fish for being soft and full of flavour, and the room has a relaxed Gulf style feel.

The weak point is speed. One recent reviewer waited 45 minutes after ordering, so don’t come starving. It shares Dixie Square with Zauq, which makes the area an easy stop for a late meal.

HMA certifies every item on Royal Jasmine’s menu, and the restaurant has been open since 2009. The menu is Hakka with Thai touches, and reviewers keep naming the Manchurian chicken, crispy beef and Hakka noodles. Weekday lunch specials come with soup, veg rolls, rice or noodles and a meat dish.

The plaza setting is low key, but reviewers mention a good parking lot. It holds a 4.2 from about 6,700 reviews.

Sun Chinese Cuisine recently earned HMA certification. It’s a noodle shop first. The owner describes fresh handmade Lanzhou noodles in a slow simmered beef broth, and that’s the dish to order.

It’s smaller and newer to the halal scene than the other places here, with about 850 Google reviews, but the 4.6 rating is strong. It closes at 9pm, earlier than most of its neighbours.

Mermaid cooks Egyptian style seafood, and it’s one of the most popular restaurants at Ridgeway Plaza. The Alexandria mix platter comes with crispy shrimp, calamari and a fish fillet over sayadya, the spiced brown rice from Egypt’s coast. The house lemon and garlic sauce is worth asking for.

Reviewers often mention the owners, who are hands on and friendly. It closes at 9pm, so plan an earlier dinner.

Blackstone serves its halal steaks sizzling on a hot lava stone, so you finish cooking each slice at the table. The menu goes beyond steak to lamb, chicken, pasta and burgers, and reviewers mention the desserts too.

It takes reservations on OpenTable, which is handy for weekends. It holds a 4.4 from about 6,300 reviews, and there’s also a Brampton branch.

Jaffy’s is the answer if you’re searching for a halal buffet in Mississauga. Diners describe the spread as steak, BBQ ribs, fried chicken and fried fish. Off the menu, reviewers mention the rib eye and the beef back ribs with baked potato. HMA certifies every item.

Service is the weak spot. One reviewer waited more than an hour for food with no update, and the 4.1 rating reflects that. Go when you have time, not on a lunch break.
