Zabihah was born in Silicon Valley in 1998 as Muslim engineers started passing around a webpage with the few local halal eateries to meet at after work. It quickly blossomed into a global halal restaurant guide, particularly popular with travelers. You can enter your city or allow location access and we'll sort results by distance, cuisine, price, and rating. Every listing shows whether the meat is zabihah-certified, who the halal authority is, and how other Muslim diners rated it - whatever information we find, we'll pass on to you.

We include a restaurant on Zabihah if they claim to serve at least one dish with meat that has been intentionally slaughtered using halal guidelines. Because there is no universally agreed-upon definition of halal, we depend on the investigative resources of our readers to verify the claim or report through Zabihah exactly what the establishment considers to be halal. For example, if a restaurant claims to be halal, yet our readers find evidence that it may not be, we show that information on our site so that our readers can make up their own minds about whether or not they feel comfortable with that restaurant. As we move towards more universal standards of halal, and new legislation mandating "truth in advertising halal" comes into effect (as is happening in the US and other countries), we will have a more secure definition that we can depend upon.

Yes. Zabihah is free for everyone — Muslim diners and restaurants alike. There's no paywall, no subscription, and no charge for a basic listing. We've been helping people find halal food since 1998 without asking users to pay.

Over 53,000 halal restaurants, grocers, and caterers in more than 100 countries, plus thousands of mosques and prayer spaces. The directory grows every week as community members submit new places and our team verifies halal status.

Yes — switch to the Prayer Spaces tab on any search page to see mosques plus restaurants that offer prayer accommodations ("Prayer allowed upon request" or a "Designated prayer area"). It's the easiest way to plan meals and prayer at the same time when you're traveling.
