Though it cannot be guaranteed for all KFC outlets in Pattaya, there is one KFC outlet embedded in the Royal Garden Plaza at the beach road just opposite to the beach is Muslim-friendly. Halal chicken is supplied to the restaurant, according to one customer who politely inquired the staff if the meat is Halal, the staff showed him the supplier bags with the Halal logo on them. The chicken is well cooked and there are plenty of dips and sauces to go with. Everything is perfect about the restaurant, the location, the food, the staff. It could be a bit crowded at times since it's built on a very busy road.

The Shahi Indian restaurant is located on the Beach road which is one of the most important roads in the city and also a hotbed of tourist activities, all the major hotels are on this road. This is a budget restaurant which mainly serves Indian food. The food isn't that spicy as compared to other Indian restaurants. Avoid going there at around 3 pm because that's when the restaurant becomes a fish market with hundreds of people flooding in from all sides to try their delicious Daal and Sabzi.
Pattaya overall is a very friendly and dynamic city. There's a lot to see and do in Pattaya and when it comes to food you'll actually find tons of restaurants and diners with the word Halal written on them but only some are worth visiting.
