Halal Companion

Frequently Asked Questions

Halal Companion does not independently verify the halal certification status of individual restaurants. Makkah and Madinah operate under Saudi Arabia's Islamic food regulations, and halal food is the widely established standard across both cities. Sourcing practices, particularly for imported meat or poultry, can vary by restaurant. We recommend speaking directly with a member of staff before ordering to confirm. InshaAllah, we aim to provide more detailed sourcing and certification information for each listing in a future update.
