HalaalGoods Market Serves up a World of Streetfood and Easy Vibes in Johannesburg

The HalaalGoods Market in Johannesburg is back on 26 and 27 July 2025 at Waterfall Park. The market launched in 2017 as South Africa’s very first artisanal market dedicated to Halaal food and lifestyle goods. Expect a vibrant mix of street food as well as locally made clothing, and kids craft play areas.

Founder Fehmz Jordaan wants to shift the way we view halaal food by offering much more than the samoosas, boboties and biryani we’ve become accustomed to. This upcoming market in Johannesburg will feature trendy street food such as kimbap, pizzas, karak chai, brisket burgers, an entire smorgasbord of food made with halaal-friendly ingredients, adding a halaal touch to the flavours of the world.

While the market and its products are guided by an Islamic ethos, HalaalGoods Market welcomes keen foodies, families and halaal fashion-lovers from all walks of life who simply want to explore the different tastes and flavours that Joburg’s cultural melting pot has to offer.

South Africa’s first artisanal halaal food and design market continues to showcase goods in a modern, innovative and proudly South African way from food to locally made clothing and kids craft play areas, all making up part of the offering at the market.

A push for diversity in the lifestyle market space

Jordaan has made the market inclusive of all cultures and religions and features a selection of over 100 carefully curated, culturally diverse vendors from across South Africa.

“HGM incorporates the wider notion of halaal, so you’ll find a lot more than just food here, that said as a South African market we have products sold by small businesses of all religious persuasions,” says Jordaan. “More than anything else, we want to support and promote unique, local entrepreneurs who are building businesses from conceptualisation to reality on their own. These businesses are the heartbeat of our economy.”
