More vegan places are great, but this place disappointed a little. The food was average and very little is actually made in house. Not very health conscious either. - Izzy G

What is Worth Choosing

The core value proposition of Halal Thai lies in its ability to offer an exciting, flavorful Thai and Asian fusion experience that is fully inclusive and respectful of diverse dietary requirements. For many New Jersey residents who observe Halal or Kosher laws, finding an eatery that confidently and publicly adheres to both standards for meat is a significant advantage. This commitment extends to the full menu, with clear protein options like Halal Chicken and Halal Beef available for main dishes. The transparency and care taken in sourcing and preparation are a huge draw.

The culinary offerings themselves are a major reason to visit. Classic Thai dishes are executed with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. Consider starting your meal with an appetizer like the crispy, popular Homemade Crispy Spring Rolls or the savory Halal Chicken Dumplings. The soups, such as the fragrant Tom Kha Soup and the signature Tom Yum Soup, are perfect for setting the stage.

For the main course, the menu’s versatility is truly impressive. Whether you prefer rice or noodles, you can customize your meal with your preferred Halal protein or tofu. The Pad Thai and Spicy Drunken Noodle (Pad Kee Mao) are regional favorites often praised for their excellent flavor balance. The curries—including the fiery Red or Green Curry and the milder, peanut-infused Massaman Curry—are rich, aromatic, and can also be customized with various proteins or made vegetarian.

Halal Thai also shines with its diverse special creations. The Halal Duck Pineapple Curry and the classic Ground Chicken Basil (Gai Pad Krapow) offer a chance to explore rich and complex Thai street food flavors that are not always available elsewhere with Halal compliance. For seafood lovers, the Spicy Shrimp Cha Cha and Pan Seared Salmon provide other appealing choices.

Finally, for those looking for completely plant-based meals, the dedicated vegan entrees, such as the Sweet Chilli Lime Tofu, ensure a satisfying, flavorful, and compliant option is readily available. The inclusion of desserts like traditional Khao Neow Ma Muang (Mango Sticky Rice) and Thai Pumpkin Custard makes Halal Thai a destination for a full, authentic Thai experience from start to finish. In short, New Jersey foodies should choose Halal Thai for its delicious, authentic Asian cuisine backed by an unmatched commitment to Halal and Kosher dietary standards in the Montclair area.
