About the restaurant
Osaka Halal Restaurant is a Muslim-owned Pakistani restaurant in Owada 4-chome, Nishiyodogawa-ku, Osaka City. True to a saying among South Asian food fans that you will find genuine Pakistani restaurants near mosques, the restaurant says it opened near one. Osaka Masjid is also in Owada 4-chome.
What makes this restaurant special is that you can enjoy Pakistani food a short walk from the mosque, before or after prayers.

Friday prayers at the nearby mosque make the restaurant busy from lunchtime, so on Fridays it serves a buffet, at 1,200 yen for both lunch and dinner (as of November 2026).
It also takes orders for halal lunch boxes and more, tailored to your budget.
