Dave's recently opened in my city and I'm quite confused if the HTO certification is about hand cut or machine cut halal.

we recently moved here in Dallas. Looking for a place where we can buy pasture raised halal chicken. Please suggest!

Hi everyone!

My husband and I will be staying near King Street in Melbourne first week of January and we’re looking for good halal food recommendations nearby.

We’d love to try a variety of places, including local favourites, hidden gems, and restaurants worth visiting while we’re in the city.

We’re especially interested in:

Good halal burgers, fried chicken, kebabs, and other comfort food

Great Korean, Japanese, Middle eastern food

Nice cafés and dessert spots

Places within walking distance of King Street or an easy tram ride away would be ideal.

Thank you so much! ❤️

Wanted to share a resource I built: thehalalexplorer.com. It covers 53 destinations with specific halal restaurant recommendations, mosque locations, prayer room guides in airports and malls, and practical tips for Muslim travellers. Topics include wudu in airport restrooms, finding halal food abroad, and guides for non-Muslim countries like Japan and Switzerland. Hope it helps someone planning their next trip.

Edited to add around £20 to £25 budget for main meal please

New additions for this week!

Would you think this is just artificial flavouring? Very confusing.

I'm a Muslim living in the US and looking for high-fiber breakfast cereals that are halal. Since most cereals have no halal certification, I think it would be sufficient if a cereal checks the following four points:

1. No ingredient, including flavors, vitamins, minerals, and processing aids, is derived from animals (for example gelatin, animal-based glycerin, or lanolin-based vitamin D3) or contains alcohol.
2. No alcohol is used as a carrier or solvent in the natural flavors.
3. The manufacturer has not said anything that raises doubt about halal suitability, and ideally has confirmed the ingredients are plant-based.
4. The product is not made on shared lines with items containing animal-derived ingredients, or the manufacturer says cross-contact is not an issue.

If you know of a cereal that is certified halal, or one that you have checked against these points by reading the label or contacting the company, please share the product name and what you found. Corrections are welcome if a product changed its formula recently.

Thank you.

I help bring halal certified products to Walmart. What do you wish they had available in your store?

Just came across this app that lets you scan food barcodes to check if the ingredients are halal. Thought I’d share it here in case anyone finds it useful!

I'll keep it short. Muslim born in America. Ok with anything slaughtered with USDA standards. Sometimes non halal meats taste funky. Today I ate a beef jerky and it tasted like carrion. I think there was a bone chip in there too.

My point is, so, the main way they slaughter is my shooting cattle in the brain. Does that seem to anyone like it makes the meats from that practice would taste odd? Because I couldn't put a finger on it as to what taste is in their meats that throws me off.

I love halal and I think there isn't any meat out there that tastes better. No competition at all. Like I've never had a bad experience and I'm 31. Yes it can be gammy perhaps, maybe, once in a blue moon, but no issue with cleanliness or sort to say.

I tried doing my own research and I guess because I don't understand exactly how to ask the question google was less than helpful. I am not Muslim so my knowledge of this is very limited so please excuse my ignorance. When looking up what Halal was to begin with (I seen a video where someone was telling a food worker that it must be that way) it says that "carnivorous animals" are forbidden to eat. Why is that the case? Pig I understand and I have heard of but what does the animal being a meat eater have to do with it? Is it just that the animal might have eaten pig? It is the only thing I can think of. Very interested in learning about this so any help is very appreciated. Thank you for you time.

I'm about to start a new medication after another one (without gelatine) didn't work for me.

It comes in a hard gelatine capsule, and after searching it up the source is both from pigs and cows.

One of the options to take the medication safely is to empty out the active ingredient from the gelatin case and mix it with a liquid (water, yoghurt, milk etc.)

Would this be halal if the medication would be genuinely beneficial to me (not entirely necessary to my health, but would help massively)?

Hi! Could you recommend a fine-dining restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hongkong that serves halal food? Thank you. 😊

Have you guys tried it? I was looking for halal options.. But but butttt

There’s this deli/corner store in Chicago on Adams and Wabash, in the Loop. It’s called, Chitown Food & Deli. I think it may have opened within the past year or so. It advertises halal on its window, so I went in to confirm what was halal and whether it was Zabiha. The guy couldn’t give me a definite answer about whether the meat was Zabiha or where they sourced it from. He kept recommending the salmon bowl instead. I don’t want to judge the place solely based on that interaction because I’m about 90% sure there may have been some miscommunication due to a language barrier.

I already ordered them and am now worried about whether they are halal or not? Should I eat or throw out?
