halal restaurant
Muslim dietary establishment
A halal restaurant serves food prepared according to Islamic dietary law.
This means no pork, no alcohol, and meat from animals slaughtered in the prescribed manner with prayers recited.
The term appears on storefronts and review sites to signal compliance: There's a good halal restaurant near the mosque.
In Western cities, halal restaurants often serve Middle Eastern, South Asian, or Mediterranean cuisine.
