A Message from Our President

Thank you for visiting HALAL OKAYAMA.

I'm BASNET NAVA RAJ, the founder of HALAL OKAYAMA. I also run two restaurants in Okayama City: Tandoor Bar, an Indian & Nepali dining curry café, and Dal Bhat, a Nepali home-cooking restaurant. HALAL OKAYAMA grew out of those kitchens — we opened the store in October 2023 so that our customers and the wider Indian and Nepali community in Okayama could find certified halal meat, authentic spices, rice, and everyday groceries close to home.

Every item on our shelves is chosen the same way we choose ingredients for our own restaurant kitchens — for quality, freshness, and halal certification we can stand behind. Whether you're shopping in person at our Ekimotocho store or ordering online, our goal is the same: make it easy to find everything you need for the meals that matter to you.

Thank you for being part of our community — I hope to see you in the store soon.

— BASNET NAVA RAJ, Founder & President
