PAKISTANI, INDIAN, MIDDLE EAST & AFRICAN MUSLIM COMMUNITY In SEOUL. ITAEWON MUSLIM STREET 🇰🇷

The area often referred to as the Itaewon Muslim Market or Muslim Street is actually the vibrant neighborhood clustered around the Seoul Central Mosque (Seoul Central Masjid) in Itaewon, Seoul. It is the heart of the city's Muslim community and the primary hub for Halal food, products, and culture in South Korea. Here is a detailed description of the area: The Heart of Muslim Culture in Seoul: Seoul Central Mosque The entire area revolves around the Seoul Central Mosque (서울 중앙 성원). Significance: It is the first and largest mosque in South Korea, officially opened in 1976. Its establishment was a milestone for the Muslim community in the country, and it continues to serve as a vital religious and cultural center. Architecture: The mosque is a beautiful, modern structure featuring two striking white minarets and signage in Korean, English, and Arabic. Its presence is a powerful cultural landmark in the diverse Itaewon district. Location: The mosque is situated at the top of a hill, often causing the surrounding area to be referred to as "Little Arabia." The Halal Food Street (Muslim Street) The streets leading up to and immediately surrounding the mosque (specifically Usadan-ro 10-gil) are what constitute the "Muslim Market" or "Halal Food Street." This is where the culinary and commercial aspects of the community are concentrated. 1. Halal Cuisine and Restaurants This street is the best place in Seoul to find certified Halal food, catering to a variety of tastes. The diversity reflects the international nature of the community: Middle Eastern and Turkish: You'll find numerous spots specializing in Turkish kebabs, Arabic cuisine, and Middle Eastern dishes. Well-known restaurants like Kervan Turkish Restaurant and Sultan Kebab are located here. Halal Korean Food: A unique and popular draw is Halal-certified Korean food, which can be hard to find elsewhere. Restaurants like EID, run by a Korean-Muslim family, offer authentic Halal versions of classics like Bulgogi and Bibimbap. South Asian and Southeast Asian: Other cuisines, including Indian, Pakistani, and Malaysian/Indonesian dishes, are also readily available, adding to the area's culinary diversity. International: The wider Itaewon district, in general, is Seoul's international zone, offering food from virtually every corner of the globe. 2. Halal Markets and Shops The street is lined with essential amenities for the Muslim community and visitors: Halal Grocers (Halal Marts): These markets are crucial, as they sell imported, certified Halal meat, spices, ingredients (like chickpeas), and specialty products that are not easily found in standard Korean supermarkets. Islamic Goods: You can find shops selling various Islamic essentials, including modest clothing, second-hand items, and Islamic books. Halal Bakeries: There are bakeries offering fresh, high-quality sweets and bread made with Halal ingredients. Navigating the Area Getting There: Take Seoul Subway Line 6 to Itaewon Station. Use Exit 3 to head towards the Seoul Central Mosque and the main Muslim Street. Pro Tip: The area is located on a considerable hill, so be prepared for an uphill walk when heading from Itaewon Station to the mosque and the core of the market street. The "Itaewon Muslim Market" is more than just a place to shop; it's a vibrant, multicultural pocket of Seoul that offers a true sense of community and is a must-visit for anyone seeking Halal food or wanting to experience the city's diverse international side.
