Fully Halal-Certified Fast Food Chains

These chains serve halal meat across all or nearly all of their US locations. They were either founded as halal businesses or have adopted system-wide halal certification.

1. The Halal Guys

Founded: 1990 (New York City food cart)
US Locations: 100+ restaurants nationwide
Cuisine: American-Middle Eastern street food

The Halal Guys started as a single food cart on 53rd Street and 6th Avenue in Manhattan and has grown into one of the most recognized halal brands in the world. Every location serves halal-certified chicken, gyro meat, and falafel. Their combo platters with white sauce and hot sauce have become iconic. The chain is consistently ranked among the top halal food options in America.

Halal Certification: All meat is halal-certified. The chain was founded by Muslim owners specifically to serve the halal market.

2. Dave’s Hot Chicken

Founded: 2017 (Los Angeles, California)
US Locations: 700+ and growing rapidly
Cuisine: Nashville-style hot chicken

Dave’s Hot Chicken has become one of the fastest-growing fast food chains in America, and all of their chicken is halal-certified by Halal Transactions of Omaha (HTO) or equivalent Islamic certifying bodies. The chain was co-founded by Arman Oganesyan and has made halal certification a core part of its identity from day one.

Important caveat: While the chicken itself is halal-certified, sauces and side items are not individually halal-certified. Cheese and sauces may contain animal-derived rennet or enzymes. If this matters to you, ask staff about specific ingredients at your location.

3. Elevation Burger

Founded: 2002 (Falls Church, Virginia)
US Locations: 50+ locations in the US and internationally
Cuisine: Organic halal burgers

Elevation Burger serves 100% halal, organic, grass-fed beef at all locations. The chain was founded with the mission of providing a healthier, ethically sourced burger option. Their meat is certified halal and USDA organic, making them a unique option for consumers who want both halal compliance and organic quality.

Halal Certification: All beef is halal-certified. The company sources from farms that meet both organic and halal standards.

4. Crown Fried Chicken (Kennedy Fried Chicken)

Founded: Founded by Afghan American immigrants
US Locations: 100+ stores, primarily in the Northeast
Cuisine: Fried chicken, burgers, wraps

Crown Fried Chicken, also known as Kennedy Fried Chicken in some locations, operates over 100 stores serving halal chicken. The chain was founded by Afghan American entrepreneurs and is particularly popular in New York City, Philadelphia, and other Northeastern cities. Their menu is extensive and affordable, covering fried chicken, burgers, fish, and wraps.

Halal Certification: Most locations serve halal-certified chicken. Since these are independently owned franchises, always confirm halal certification at your specific location.

5. Naf Naf Grill

Founded: 2009 (Naperville, Illinois)
US Locations: 40+ locations across the Midwest and East Coast
Cuisine: Middle Eastern pita and bowl chain

Naf Naf Grill serves Middle Eastern-inspired bowls, pitas, and salads with halal-certified chicken and beef shawarma. The chain has expanded steadily across the US and is particularly popular in the Chicago, Washington DC, and Philadelphia metro areas. Their build-your-own format lets you customize your meal with a variety of toppings, sauces, and sides.

Major Chains with Halal Options at Select Locations

These well-known fast food brands are not halal system-wide, but specific franchise locations do serve halal-certified meat. Availability depends entirely on the individual franchise owner.

Subway

Some Subway locations, particularly in areas with large Muslim populations, source halal-certified meat for their sandwiches. There is no central Subway policy on halal certification, so you must verify directly with each location. Look for halal certification signs posted at the counter or ask staff to show you packaging with certification labels.

KFC

Select KFC franchise locations in the US serve halal-certified chicken. This is more common in cities like Dearborn, Michigan, and parts of New York City. Check with the specific location before ordering.

Popeyes

A small number of Popeyes franchise locations serve halal-certified chicken. This is not a company-wide policy. The franchisees who offer halal typically display certification at the point of sale.

That's not 'Texas' Barbecue at all. That's a headline. Texas doesn't give a frick if some "Muslim pitmaster" is making headway.

Go frick themselves. I hope the marketing spreads and all they're left with is Muslim a-hole customers.

Not sure how familiar you are with the demographics of Texas, but there is a reason why those halal restaurants are located in those particular areas.

If you have any complaints, address them to Greg Abbott. He encouraged the migration of Muslims to Texas.

I don't know about the royal family as a whole, but I listened to a podcast series about Queen Elizabeth, and she was described as being as blind to race as a person can be.

She took her role as the monarch of all of the Commonwealth very seriously and strived to treat all of her subjects equally - white, black, yellow, red, whatever.

This was part of the documentary.

They interviewed people working on the line and asked them if they would take a trip on a Boeing plane, and they said no.

I've flown a bunch. I don't worry about it. If my time is up, my time is up. It is not like planes are falling out of the sky every day. These incidents are few and far between. They just get a lot of publicity.

I don't think this is a hot take, but the Feds knew about Pearl Harbor and let US Servicemen die to facilitate popular approval into a previously very unpopular WWII.

It is a hot take because most people do not believe it is true.
