Islamic Centre Canteen
Be sure to get to the Islamic Centre Canteen nice and early; it’s rated among the best halal dim sum places in Hong Kong, and only serves dim sum until 3pm! The food is delicious, of course – and don’t overlook the Cantonese menu; plenty of diners consider the steamed dumplings such as siew mai and har kow a must-try!

Istanbul Kebab
Craving Mediterranean cuisine? Head down to Istanbul Kebab where not only do they serve mouthwatering kebabs, they also serve traditional Turkish dishes, done their way.

The Sultan’s Table
If you’re looking to treat yourself to Middle Eastern cuisine at a classy restaurant, this is the perfect place.

Le Souk
Le Souk might just be the best Middle Eastern eatery in Hong Kong. Not only is the food heavenly, but the energy of the restaurant is reminiscent of the NYC restaurant scene of the 1990s. The mezze platter is a great dish for tasting a little bit of everything. You’ll also want to sample the lamb tagine, a staple of Morocco, and the Egyptian mixed grill, a large plate of barbecued morsels ideal for meat lovers.
