Chinese Muslim restaurant locations can be found all over the Klang Valley. In addition to offering Halal versions of local Chinese favourites, some of them also offer Xinjiang cuisine. The Xinjiang autonomous region in China has a largely Muslim population. Therefore, their food is distinctly different from other parts of China.
We’ve listed some of the best Chinese Muslim restaurants in the Klang Valley. Some of the are chain restaurants with several branches. Meanwhile, others feature the unique dishes of Xinjiang.
Homst Restaurant
Homst is one of the Klang Valley’s largest and most notable Muslim owned chain of Chinese restaurants. They have as many as 8 branches, located in places like TTDI, Putrayjaya, Kajang, Shah Alam and more. Visitors who come here love the seafood, especially items like Butter Prawns, Salted Egg squid and deep-fried Soft-Shell Crabs.
If you want a lighter meal, such as for breakfast, they have dim sum too. Their dim sum menu features items like Siew Mai, salted egg yolk bao and prawn crystal dumplings.

Mohammad Chow Chinese Muslim Kitchen
Mohammad Chow in Damansara Perdana is popular with diners during both lunch and dinner. One of the more convenient aspects as this restaurant is the fact that they have individual dishes.
For example, they have Yong Chow fried rice, Kung Po chicken with rice set, Salted Egg Chicken set, and Ying Yong Kung Fu Noodles. All of these are served in single portions for one person.
If you’re dining in a big group, you can order from an extensive menu that features fish, chicken, beef, squid and more to eat with rice. These include claypot tofu, salted egg pumpkin and Siakap sambal petai.

Chopsticks by Muhammad Onn
Muhammad Onn offers a casual dining experience that’s suitable for the whole family in TTDI. The semi-open-air restaurant has limited space, so do make a booking if you’re coming in a large group.
As with most Chinese Tai Chow restaurants, you can order dishes with rice. Diners have praised their curry vegetables, Nyonya fish, butter floss prawns and Kung Po chicken.
Another rare dish that’s quite unique here is the Chicken Lobak and Tofu. Lobak is common appetiser among Malaysian Chinese in Northern states, and finding a halal version is rare.

Lamb Shepherd Restaurant
The final Chinese Muslim restaurant on this list is one that serves Xinjiang cuisine. Xinjiang dishes are markedly different from those served by local Muslim Chinese. They’re characterised by their extensive use of lamb and spicy chili oil. Additionally, the culture of eating rice with dishes isn’t as strong here.
Some of their signature offerings include dumplings, Lamb Shepherd Steamed Chicken, Fried Lamb, and Xinjiang Big Plate Chicken.
