Notes for Muslim Users
Given the absence of clear halal certification or explicit Muslim-friendly claims, Muslim travellers should treat Ahjumma Kitchen as not confirmed halal and exercise personal discretion. It is advisable to check on-site for any displayed halal logo, ask staff about meat suppliers, use of alcohol in marinades or sauces, and whether any alcohol is served or used in the kitchen. Those who adhere strictly to certified halal standards may prefer to choose restaurants with JAKIM or recognised halal certification. When in doubt, consider alternative nearby halal-certified Korean or Asian restaurants, or limit orders to items confirmed by staff to be free from non-halal ingredients while recognising this still may not meet strict certification requirements.
