Located near Seoul Central Mosque, Eid is the one and only Korean restaurant in Seoul that has been Halal-certified by the Korea Muslim Federation (KMF). There are four items on the menu: bulgogi (marinated beef), bibimbap (mixed rice bowl), grilled fish, and samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup). The most popular item is the bulgogi (marinated beef), for which fresh pears and apples are used instead of sugar. Each dish comes served with three types of side dishes (banchan), which are made in-house daily with organic vegetables.
