How We Checked and Ranked These Restaurants
Several Indian and Middle Eastern restaurants in Da Lat use the word “halal” online but serve alcohol or make no halal statement themselves. We only list a restaurant when it is Muslim-run, holds a halal certificate, or states that all its food is halal, and when nothing we found contradicts that. We left out restaurants that have closed since the pandemic, such as D’Halal and Kampung Pandan, and old addresses that are still copied from blog to blog.
In October 2026 we searched the public register of Halal Vietnam (HVN) for every certificate in Lam Dong province. Fatimah Restaurant is the only Da Lat restaurant on it; the other Lam Dong entries are tea, vegetable and drinks producers. You can search the HVN certificate register yourself. Restaurants are ranked by Tripadvisor rating first, then Google Maps rating. None of the five halal-only kitchens is listed on Tripadvisor yet, so they are ranked by Google Maps.

1. Halal Food Dalat Hajah Hawa
The best-rated halal restaurant in Da Lat on Google Maps, on a small slope beside Cherry Hotel, a short walk from the town centre. Two floors seat about 40 to 50 guests, so it is a favourite for Malaysian and Indonesian tour groups; the seafood hotpot is the dish to share on a cold Da Lat evening. There is a prayer room. It belongs to the same owners as the Hajah Hawa halal restaurants in Sapa, in northern Vietnam: the Da Lat restaurant and the Hajah Hawa branch at Sapa Market share the same phone number.

Mosques Near Da Lat
There is no mosque in Da Lat. The nearest mosques belong to Cham Muslim communities in the lowlands, two to three hours away by road, so most Muslim visitors use the prayer rooms in the halal restaurants above.
| Mosque | Location | Distance from Da Lat |
|---|---|---|
| Islam Mubarak Mosque | Binh Minh, Bac Binh area, Lam Dong province (former Binh Thuan) | About 85 km in a straight line |

Halal Food at Lien Khuong Airport and Da Lat Hotels
We found no halal food outlet at Lien Khuong Airport, about 30 km south of the town, and no hotel in Da Lat with a confirmed halal kitchen. Hotels can usually serve eggs, fruit and bread at breakfast; for other meals, plan to eat at the restaurants above, or order from them to your hotel through Grab or by phone.
Practical Tips for Eating Halal in Da Lat
- Call ahead in the evening. Most halal kitchens close between 20:00 and 22:30, and Fatimah and some others focus on tour groups.
- Be careful at the Night Market. Grilled skewers, banh trang nuong (grilled rice paper) and many soups contain pork or pork-based sauce. Soy milk, sweet potatoes, corn and fruit are safe snacks.
- Bring layers. Da Lat sits at about 1,500 m, and evenings are cool all year, so a hotpot dinner is a local favourite.
- Pick fruit, not wine. Strawberry farms and the flower gardens are good family stops; note that Da Lat wine is sold at many market stalls.
- Stay central. A hotel near Xuan Huong Lake or Da Lat Market puts you within walking distance of three of the five halal kitchens.
