π Can't Find Your City?
We're constantly expanding our database. If your city isn't listed or you know of a halal restaurant we're missing, please let us know!
Note: Halal status can change. We recommend verifying directly with the restaurant, especially for certification status and meat sourcing. Some restaurants may be "halal-friendly" (no pork, halal meat available) rather than fully halal-certified.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a restaurant is truly halal?
Look for official halal certification from recognized bodies (like ISNA, HFA, HMC). However, many restaurants serve halal food without formal certification. Key questions to ask: Where do they source their meat? Is the kitchen completely halal (no pork)? Do they serve alcohol? Our listings include this information when available.
What's the difference between halal and zabiha?
"Halal" broadly means permissible, while "zabiha" (or dhabiha) specifically refers to the Islamic method of slaughter - cutting the throat, invoking Allah's name, and draining the blood. Some Muslims only consider hand-slaughtered zabiha meat as halal, while others accept machine slaughter if done correctly. Our listings try to specify the slaughter method when known.
Can I eat at restaurants that serve alcohol?
Scholars differ on this. Many permit eating halal food at such restaurants since you're only consuming the halal food. Others prefer to avoid them entirely. Our listings indicate whether a restaurant serves alcohol so you can make an informed choice. Many halal restaurants, especially Middle Eastern and South Asian ones, don't serve alcohol.
Is seafood always halal?
According to most Islamic scholars, all seafood is halal without requiring slaughter. This includes fish, shrimp, lobster, crab, and other sea creatures. The exception is in the Hanafi school, which only considers fish with scales as halal. Our seafood restaurant listings are generally suitable for all Muslims.
How accurate are your restaurant listings?
We strive for accuracy but recommend always verifying with the restaurant directly. Ownership, suppliers, and practices can change. Our listings are based on restaurant claims, certifications, and community feedback. If you find inaccurate information, please let us know through our contact form.
