Halal Food Near Me in Malta — Where to Eat in Every Tourist Town (2026)

“Halal food near me” is the most searched halal question in Malta — 313 searches in a single month on Google alone. And it makes sense: when you are hungry in a town you don’t know, you don’t want a history of halal food in Malta. You want the nearest verified place, right now. This guide is exactly that: town by town, the nearest verified halal restaurants — checked in November 2026.

Valletta — Start at Is-Suq tal-Belt

The capital’s answer is one building: Is-Suq tal-Belt, the Valletta food market, holds two verified halal stalls under one roof — Konak Kebab House, a Turkish doner stall, and Annapurna, an Indian and Nepali kitchen listed as fully halal. The market’s food stalls run Monday to Thursday and Sunday 11:00–22:00, and Friday and Saturday 11:00–00:30. A few minutes’ walk away, Falafel Street serves Lebanese kebab and grill — “ALL OUR FOOD IS HALAL” (phone +356 2123 5460, on Wolt), and Naan Bar is a modern Indian restaurant whose own site says “All our meats are Halal certified” (phone +356 2124 2886, on Wolt). The Kebab Factory Valletta outlet is also in the centre.

Sliema — Tower Road Is the Strip

Sliema’s halal strip is Tower Road and The Strand. Hassan Fatayer & Falafel (14A Tower Road, phone +356 9920 3330, Wolt 9.4) does Syrian fatayer and falafel. Kebab Ji (132A Tower Road, phone +356 2782 7562, Wolt and Bolt) is a Lebanese kitchen with 545+ TripAdvisor reviews. Istanbul Kebab House (89 Triq Rodolfu, phone +356 2132 4065) has served Turkish kebab and pide since 1991. Millenium Kebab (110 Triq ix-Xatt, phone +356 2786 8991) and Habibi’s Kebab (270 Tower Road, phone +356 2755 2400) complete the strip.

One honest answer to a real search: there is no verified halal outlet inside The Point shopping mall food court in Sliema. We searched and found none — don’t walk to the mall expecting a halal stall. The nearest verified options are the short walk to Tower Road and The Strand above. If one opens, tell us and we will update this guide.

St Julian’s — the Most Choice on the Island

St Julian’s has the most halal restaurants in Malta — 12 and counting. MY WAY does halal burgers and French tacos (on Wolt), and Hugo’s Burger Bar is the halal burger name here (our page words it as halal PARTIAL — read it first). Lahori Dhaba in St Julian’s serves Pakistani and Indian food with karak chai and stays open till 02:00 — the late-night answer for Paceville. Antalya Kebab (1 St George’s Road, Wolt 8.8) is the Turkish option; we do not print its phone because the listed number conflicts with Lahori Dhaba’s. Saffron Indian Restaurant (64 Triq il-Wilga, phone +356 9928 0211) and Leyla Lebanese Cuisine (139 Triq Spinola, phone +356 7957 0050) cover Indian and Lebanese, and Sharma is the Indian and Arabian halal name on Wolt and Bolt. About KFC in St Julian’s: a halal-chicken claim exists, but single-source — read our branch-by-branch KFC guide rather than taking it as fact.

Gżira & Msida — the Strand and the University

Ali Baba (Ponsonby Street, phone +356 2134 0119) is a Lebanese restaurant listed as fully halal. Posh Turkish Gżira is the verified-halal Turkish flagship — see our Turkish kebab houses guide for its full menu and prices. Moo’s Kebab (177 Triq ix-Xatt, phone +356 2755 7733) carries a halal certification claim, and Sultan Kebab and Pizza (194 The Strand, phone +356 9962 0954) states “All our products are halal”. In Ta’ Xbiex, Tandoori Bites (phone +356 7908 1393) is strictly halal Pakistani food. In Msida, Taste of India (phone +356 9979 6995) and Golden Fried Chicken (phone +356 2756 3867) both deliver on Wolt and Bolt. Caveat: Punjabi Tadka in Msida (43 Triq J. Borg, phone +356 2134 3841) makes no halal claim for its meat and serves alcohol — not a halal pick.

Birkirkara & Ħamrun — Central Malta’s Halal Streets

In Birkirkara, Gün Turkish Kebab (Triq tal-Ħerba, phone +356 9999 8963, on Wolt) is the Turkish grill, Antalya Kebab (227 Triq Fleur-De-Lys, phone +356 2144 7314) is the second Turkish option, and Spicee Hutt (13 Triq L-Isqof Labini, phone +356 9972 0222, Wolt 9.2) serves Pakistani and Indian food — nihari, halwa puri, tea and biryani. In Ħamrun, St Joseph High Street is the cluster: Babylon Falafel (55 St Joseph High Road) is the Arabic and Lebanese name — we do not print its phone because two conflicting numbers circulate. Afghan Natural (790 St Joseph High Street, phone +356 7708 6710), Baba Ganaush (796 St Joseph High Street, phone +356 7776 6006) and Eritrean Food (6 Triq San Tumas, phone +356 7798 8777) are all listed as halal restaurants on Google.

Buġibba, St Paul’s Bay & Qawra — the Northern Resort Zone

Habibi’s Kebab (1 Triq il-Korp tal-Pijunieri, St Paul’s Bay, phone +356 2799 5522) and Chatterbox (Sea View Hotel, phone +356 2168 2822, “All our meats are halal certified”) are the Lebanese and Indian anchors. House of Spice in Buġibba (48 Triq Il-Halel, phone +356 2733 3281) is a Pakistani cloud kitchen — takeaway only, no seating — with chicken handi, halwa puri and biryani; TripAdvisor flags alcohol service, so expect no alcohol-free claim. Chai Chawk (590 Mosta Road, phone +356 9912 2355) does South Indian food and chai, Gandhi Tandoori (Mosta Road, phone +356 2157 2260) covers Indian, and Mr. Kebab in Qawra (Tourist Street, phone +356 9991 1167) is the Turkish and fast-food stop reviewers call out for halal options. Favourite Kebabish (St Paul’s Bay Bypass) serves seekh kebabs, mutton curry, biryani and karak chai — no phone found, so walk in. Oz Sofra Kebab in Buġibba (phone +356 9949 1229) is the long-running Turkish name here.

Mellieħa & the Airport — Thin at the Edges

Mellieħa is the thinnest tourist town for halal food, so plan for it: Mother India (17 Triq Gorg Borg Olivier, phone +356 7938 9905, on Wolt), Byblos Lebanese Restaurant (Riviera Spa Resort, Marfa, phone +356 9929 0011) and the Kebab Factory Mellieħa outlet are the verified options. For more choice, Buġibba is about a 15-minute drive away. At the airport, the best “just landed” option is Falafel Street landside inside Malta International Airport, and the closest verified sit-down option is Antalya Kebab Luqa (10 Triq San Tumas, phone +356 2180 0004, about a 5-minute drive). The KFC halal claim at the airport is single-source only — read our KFC guide. McDonald’s there is not halal-certified — see our McDonald’s guide.

South & Central — If You’re Outside the Tourist Towns

In Fgura: Lahori Dhaba (phone +356 9966 4652), Antalya Kebab Fgura (43 Triq Hompesch, phone +356 2180 0002) and Karavan (Vjal Kottoner, phone +356 7713 2533). In Paola: Silver Spoon (phone +356 9921 3290) and The Food Village (phone +356 7702 8353). In Qormi: Chaska Point (phone-order only — see our Chaska Point page) and TukTuk Indian Kitchen (phone +356 9914 7147). In San Ġwann: New Taste Pakistan (28 Triq In-Naxxar, phone +356 9912 0679, Friday biryani, open late) and A La Turca (Triq tal-Balal, phone +356 2137 4543). In Swieqi: Dhaba Malta (phone +356 7704 9500, Tuesday to Sunday 11:00–24:00, Monday closed) — Indian street food whose halal status is not confirmed, so ask first. In Marsaskala: Roti Indian Cuisine (phone +356 2799 2226) and Nargile Lounge (phone +356 9951 5883). In Attard, Santa Venera, Marsa, Siġġiewi, Tarxien, Gudja or Marsaxlokk nothing verified was found — use the nearest hub above, or order delivery.

Delivery — When Nothing Is Near You

If no halal restaurant is near you, delivery is the answer. Wolt treats the whole of Malta as one city: there are no per-town Wolt pages, you just open Wolt, enter your address, and it shows what delivers to you. Around 35 halal venues are confirmed on Wolt, including Falafel Street, Hassan Fatayer, Kebab Ji, Habibi’s, Antalya Kebab, Spicee Hutt, Lahori Dhaba, Dhaba Malta, Sharma, Naan Bar, Gün, Mother India, Gandhi Tandoori and Karavan. Bolt Food is the second route, with halal venues including Kebab Ji, Leyla, Sharma, TukTuk, Halo, Taste of India, Golden Fried Chicken, Dhaba Malta, Maharaja and Gandhi Tandoori — availability depends on your address in the app, as Bolt publishes no coverage map. Time to Eat Malta is a third option, named by Sharma’s own site. Chaska Point is phone-order only (no Wolt or Bolt). Late-night delivery: Lahori Dhaba in St Julian’s (till 02:00), New Taste in San Ġwann (late night), Dhaba Malta in Swieqi (till midnight).

St Julian’s, with 12 and counting — then Sliema with 10+, and Valletta with 8+. Our halal food by location guide maps every area.

Can I get halal food delivered in Malta?

Yes. Wolt is the main route — it treats Malta as one city, so enter your address and it filters by distance; around 35 halal venues are on it. Bolt Food is the second route. Both depend on your address — check in the app first.

Is there halal food near Malta Airport?

Yes — Falafel Street has a landside outlet inside Malta International Airport, and Antalya Kebab in Luqa is about a 5-minute drive away. The KFC halal claim at the airport is single-source only, and McDonald’s there is not halal-certified.

Is there halal food in Gozo?

Very little that is verified. Gozo has far fewer halal options than mainland Malta, so plan a Gozo day around seafood, vegetarian dishes, or food brought from the main island.
