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.

Halal Companion lists 2 Mediterranean restaurants in Makkah, all sorted by walking distance from Masjid al-Haram. The two listed are Cafe Moment at 309 metres, a 24-hour cafe with a view of the mosque, and the buffet restaurant at Al Shohada Hotel at 527 metres.

Cafe Moment serves Saudi and Mediterranean-style dishes alongside coffee and light food, while the restaurant at Al Shohada Hotel offers continental and Mediterranean dishes in a buffet setting. Both are within 530 metres of Masjid al-Haram.
