Halal Afghan Restaurants in Houston

Ordering halal Afghan food: what to check

Afghan restaurants serving kabuli pulao, kebabs, mantu and bolani are usually Muslim-owned, serve halal meat as standard, and rarely have alcohol on the menu. The questions that remain are mostly about where the meat comes from and how it was slaughtered.

• Ask whether the chicken is hand-slaughtered (zabiha) or machine-slaughtered. Restaurants often buy chicken and red meat from different suppliers, and some diners accept only hand-slaughtered poultry.
• Is the lamb and beef zabiha as well as the chicken?
• Does the restaurant hold a certificate, or is its halal status based on its own sourcing? The tier on each listing shows which applies.

This is general guidance, not a ruling. Each listing above shows what we have confirmed for that restaurant. What halal means for food
