There are plenty of amazing restaurants in cosmopolitan Seminyak. From the famous ‘Eat Street’ in Oberoi to the buzzing Petitenget Strip and Batu Belig, you will find the best of the best such as Metis, La Lucciola, Bambu, Jemme, Sardine and many more. However, most of these celebrated places to eat in Seminyak are not certified as Halal. I asked around and even the traditional Indonesian restaurants such as Merah Putih and Sarong serve pork. Well, we are on the island of Bali after all, where the traditional and most loved dish is ‘babi guling’ – suckling pig. So, where does this leave you? Well, after a little bit of research and driving around, I found more than a handful of warungs and restaurants that do serve up 100% halal food. Check out these places for the best halal food in town:
1. Batik Bali
100% halal, 100% Instagrammable 100% authentic Southeast Asian cuisine and 100% delicious! Come to Batik Bali, conveniently located on Seminyak’s famous Eat Street in Oberoi – you are in for a delightful evening out! This restaurant is named after the old Indonesian craftsmanship called Batik, using hot wax to make patterns on textile. This ancient trade and traditional form is art is recognized as a Unesco Worl Heritage and this halal restaurant in Seminyak features a gorgeous interior design with traditional Batik fabrics and stamps infused in all the tiny details of the decor. Amazing! The food is really great, too, with highlights from all over Southeast Asia including Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.

2. Warung Murah
This is one of the favourites in town when it comes down to local food. It is cheap, authentic, humble and delicious, Warung Murah is located on Jalan Arjuna near Double Six Beach in Seminyak. There is a menu to order from but we highly recommend to skip it and choose your food directly from the counter. You can just point at the dishes you want and the lovely staff will design you a beautiful plate of authentic Indo food. Warung Murah is a Balinese eating place and yet it is 100% halal – great for those travellings who want to try Balinese food without the Babi Guling! Try Ayam Betutu, it is chicken prepared the Balinese way with lots of herbs and spices. Yum!
