Ordering halal Middle Eastern food: what to check
Middle Eastern restaurants serving shawarma, kebabs, mandi and mezze are frequently halal-owned, but practices still vary, especially around alcohol and where pre-made items come from.
- Is the shawarma meat marinated in-house from a halal supplier, or bought pre-made? Ask about each meat.
- Is arak, wine or beer served on the premises?
- Ask whether the chicken is hand-slaughtered (zabiha) or machine-slaughtered. Kitchens often buy chicken and red meat from different suppliers, and some diners accept only hand-slaughtered poultry.
