5 Muslim-Owned Businesses in Melbourne

Melbourne is a melting pot of cultures, with people from around the world calling it home. This diversity makes Melbourne a hub where you can find anything you can imagine, from trendy cafes tucked away in hidden laneways to well-established Muslim-owned businesses. 

Living in Melbourne as a Muslim means you never have to worry about finding what you need. The city offers a variety of Halal restaurants, grocery stores, and even shops specialising in modest fashion. Here’s a list of some recommended spots to get you started. 

Bowltiful

Feeling cold? Bowltiful is ready to warm you up with its deliciousness! They serve Halal Lanzhou Beef Noodles, the Chinese Muslim style of beef noodles also known as clear broth or consommé-stewed beef noodle. It often uses halal meat and contains no soy sauce, resulting in a lighter flavour that can be customised with salt and herbs later. Everything at Bowltiful is made fresh, offering Melbourne a taste of authentic and flavourful halal food. 

The Foodstore Cafe

This Muslim-owned Cafe is a true hidden gem in Melbourne. Located on Bills Street in Hawthorn East, The Foodstore Cafe tempts customers with its flavourful breakfast and lunch options. Their coffees are equally satisfying, offering cappuccinos and flat whites as perfect companions to start your day.
