A burger can be made with zabiha beef and still share a grill or fryer with other food. A few quick questions settle what matters to you:
Our guide to halal cross-contamination goes into more detail.
Burger Bodega in the Heights, Trill Burgers in Montrose, Flip N Dip and Crypto Burger all list smash burgers on their own menus or websites. Each entry in this guide shows the spot's zabiha status and when we last checked it.
Fanoosh puts beef bacon on some of its burgers, Burger Bodega offers it as an add-on, and Crypto Burger uses what it calls halal bacon. Halal "bacon" is made from beef or turkey, not pork. If it matters to you, ask how it is sourced.
Not necessarily. Our listings record that the owner confirmed the meat is zabiha. That is about how the animal was slaughtered. It does not on its own tell you whether pork or alcohol is ever in the kitchen. If shared grills or fryers matter to you, ask when you order.
Each entry shows "No alcohol served" when the restaurant has told us it serves none. If the entry says nothing about alcohol, we have not confirmed it either way, so ask the restaurant.
We gather evidence such as certificates, owner confirmation and calls, give each listing a tier, record zabiha status, and show when it was last checked. "Owner Verified" means the owner or manager confirmed halal status; it does not mean we inspected a certificate. We share the evidence and do not issue religious rulings.
This guide only lists spots in our directory. We also hold back a listing when the restaurant's own menu contradicts what we have on file, until we re-check it. You can suggest a restaurant through our submit form.
