How it works

Halal certified means a named certification body lists the restaurant. Muslim-friendly means the restaurant itself says it serves no pork or alcohol, or has a halal menu, without certification. Vegan means a fully plant-based menu; vegan options means a labeled vegan menu alongside other dishes.

Each entry links the page that states this and shows the date we checked it. Menus and certifications change, so confirm with the restaurant before you go.
