Islam Food is a long-standing establishment that began in the 1950s when owner Old Mr Ma sold beefcakes, fried dumplings, and salted soya drinks. Credit goes to Old Mr Ma who learnt how to make a Pakistani curry while working at Police Station No.7 in Sheung Wan with Muslim police officers back in the 1930s, thanks to whom we can now enjoy this delicious curry in Hong Kong.

Its popularity is evident from its various local food awards. Their signature dish may look similar to other halal Chinese restaurants (such as veal goulash and curry lamb chop), but their hot & sour soup and cold platter (spiced beef shank, tripe, tendon, chicken, jellyfish and ox tongue) may also interest the adventurous foodie. Be sure to try the succulent xiao long bau (steamed beef dumplings). This restaurant has two outlets.
