Silver Spoon claims to be the first zabiha halal restaurant in DFW — it is certainly the longest-running Pakistani restaurant in the Metroplex. Try the chicken chapli kabab or a plate of Lahori fish. 

This restaurant opens up the usually pork-heavy Cajun and Creole cuisines to the larger Dallas community by using all zabiha halal meats in his dishes, from gumbo to red beans and rice to po’ boys. Even the muffulettas are made with beef salami and turkey pastrami.

Queen of Sheba offers halal lamb, chicken, and beef dishes. Go for injera (spongy, tangy teff flatbread) topped with Ethiopian halal meat entrees like doro wat (slow-cooked chicken drumsticks) or kitfo (marinated beef tartare), served alongside vegetable sides.

Afrah is a go-to favorite for Mediterranean plates with a Lebanese focus. The lunch buffet is worth a visit, and the Shawarma pita sandwiches are legendary. Great spot for big groups.

Zip to this Mediterranean spot in Fort Worth for spicy samosas, cheese or beef sambousek, and delicious eggplant moussaka.

Grab a plate of tacos at this butcher shop in Irving and so much more — it serves chili, quesadillas, burritos, loaded nachos, and even a forever favorite for Texans, brisket tacos. 

Kebabs, falafel, gyros — all the greats of New York-style street food are on offer at this Greenville Ave. spot. 

The Knox St. arm of Fadi’s is halal and an excellent location for Mediterranean plates that include catering options, orders for larger parties, gluten-free bread, and a spinach pie that’s a must-eat.
