Fancy, Halal Restaurants in NYC

This is probably the most googled phrase by Muslims, of course after “are cats allowed in Islam?”

We’ve compiled a list of fancy, halal restaurants (think white table cloths, steak) for meetings, anniversary dates, or really, just for any formal occasion where you want to get fancied up!

Though the list is very short, this will hopefully act as a catalyst for restaurant owners, entrepreneurs, and Muslims to consider opening more halal, fancy restaurants, where Muslims can feel totally comfortable dining in.

Muslim consumers are already an untapped population. With very few fancy, let alone fine-dining options that are halal in all senses (think atmosphere and alcohol), Muslims still yet have to make the decision to abstain or not feel completely comfortable during an evening out.
