A young Muslim receives an unexpected and unwelcome birthday gift, which is a rundown meat factory, from his stern father.

Neil Young

The Hollywood Reporter

A semi-digestible collation of stew and sauerkraut, Irish-German comedy Halal Daddy never quite cuts close enough to the funny bone.

CineVue

Conor McDermottroe, who directed and co-wrote the script with Mark O'Halloran (also starring in the film as Omar), imbues the film with warmth and affectionate for small town life.

Rated: 3/5

Irish Independent

Halal Daddy is a well-meaning but ham-fisted attempt to refract the complexities of multicultural Ireland.

Rated: 2/5

Sunday Independent (Ireland)

The real bounty of Conor McDermottroe's film is its core cast -- all of whom beam with sparkle and vigour.

Rated: 4/5

Well-intentioned but disappointing in its predictability.

Film Ireland Magazine

What drags the movie down is a reliance on broad gags and characters and an oddly paced narrative.
