Halal food in Langley: places that say so themselves

Plenty of Langley menus mention halal somewhere. This page only lists the places whose own website, menu or posted certification says it, in their words, and we’ve noted how far that claim goes: everything on the menu, the meat, or one option.

What to ask about halal

“Halal” on a menu can mean different things, and a restaurant’s site rarely spells it out. If it matters to you, a quick question at the counter settles it:

• Is everything halal, or only some dishes? “100% halal” and “halal option” are not the same thing.
• Is it certified, and by whom? A certified place has an outside organisation checking its suppliers and kitchen, and can usually show you the certificate. “Halal meat” without certification means the restaurant buys from a halal supplier, on its own word.
• What else shares the kitchen? Ask whether pork or alcohol is used, and whether the grill or fryer is shared.

Not on the list?

Several more Langley spots appear on halal apps and delivery sites, but we couldn’t find the claim on their own site, so they’re not here yet. If your restaurant says halal on its website or menu, send it in.
