Why halwaa exists

Built by halal food lovers, for halal food lovers.

We didn't build another boring Yelp clone with a green crescent slapped on it. Halwaa is crafted from the ground up to eliminate the awkwardness of halal dining with modern 2026 technology.

The "Is it Halal?" Check

Clear, upfront transparency: hand-slaughtered (Zabihah), machine-cut, halal beef only, halal chicken only, or full halal kitchen. No more guesswork or awkward server interrogations.

🤝

No Fake Influencer Hype

Tired of paid TikTok foodies hyping dry burgers? Halwaa uses verified community proof where real halal foodies upload receipts, honest photo reviews, and genuine recommendations.

Straight answers for real foodies.

Everything you need to know about how halwaa works.

Is halwaa really free to use?

Yes! Discovering restaurants, checking halal tags, reading community reviews, and joining open restaurant table chats is 100% free with no hidden paywalls.

How do restaurant table chats work?

When you tap "Want to Try" on a restaurant, halwaa adds you to that spot's open dining room with other local foodies interested in that exact place. You can ask regulars for menu recommendations, see who's visiting this weekend, or plan group meals.

How do you verify if a place is halal?

We combine AI menu analysis with on-the-ground community verification. Foodies upload photos of halal certificates, supplier receipts, and management confirmations to earn XP. We also tag specifically whether chicken, beef, or all meats are hand-slaughtered (Zabihah).

Can I add a restaurant that's not listed yet?

Absolutely! Just tap "Spot a Halal Gem" or "Add a Place" on your home screen. You'll earn +100 XP immediately when you help expand the halal directory in your city.
