Situated east of the flashy Manhattan neighbourhood of New York is Brooklyn – one of the five boroughs of NYC. With an air of energy, vibrancy, and excitement, it is the most populous borough due to a bang for a buck it offers for a great many things. Also called Kings County by many, it finds itself as an essential part of any traveller’s itinerary. A visit to New York City is incomplete if you haven’t paid a visit to Brooklyn and experienced the vibe of quirkiness that oozes from everything there. You can catch a New York City subway and reach this old yet unconventional part of the city to try out some great halal restaurants and satiate those hunger pangs. Here’s a list of the best halal restaurants in Brooklyn, New York City.

1. No Pork Halal Kitchen

Posted by Hazem Abraham on Tuesday, 28 January 2014

Are you a Chinese-takeout-dinner kind of a person? Yes? Then add No Pork Halal Kitchen to your speed dial. Although primarily a takeout restaurant, you can even enjoy a sit-down meal as they have a few chairs available. You’ll find the servers here very friendly and helpful. They even suggest healthy alternatives based on your selection and customize their flavours according to your tastes, so let them know if you’re not particularly fond of something in your food. General Tso’s chicken, sesame chicken, broccoli chicken, and orange chicken are some of their famous dishes. They also offer spicy Indian chicken, custard bean pie, and banana pudding, which are quite famous among the regulars. Do note that they only accept cash and there’s no ATM nearby, so keep some money handy to avoid any last minute hassle.
