Halal Restaurants in the USA

Our guide to halal restaurants

Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurants serve the cooking of Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Israel, Persia, Morocco and their neighbors. Expect grilled meats and kebabs, falafel, hummus and other dips, fresh salads, rice dishes and plenty of bread – often baked in house.

Many places are fast-casual: you build a plate, bowl or wrap at the counter. Sit-down restaurants often encourage sharing a spread of small dishes (mezze) before the grilled mains.
