Halal or Zabiha meat can be eaten all over Chicago, but the spots that usually come to mind are the foods of Muslim-majority countries.
Middle Eastern, North African, West African, and South Asian food are usually the first that come to mind when it comes to halal or zabiha cuisine as its typically enjoyed in Muslim-majority countries. The truth is Chicagoans can find items all over the are, especially with on famed Devon Avenue and suburbs like Bridgeview that has everything from Yemeni to Palestinian food, all halal.
An uptick in vegetarian and vegan options are also accommodating to Muslims who keep halal. But increasingly, halal pepperoni, steak, and wings are available to Chicagoland Muslims as higher-end meat-producers, like Creekstone Farms and Demkota Ranch Beef, are becoming halal-certified. Often, a restaurant won't advertise that its steak or chicken is halal and it's up to the consumer to know what questions to ask about meat-sourcing. These higher-end beef options are also making their way into chains, like Epic Burger and Dog Haus. It's also about a growing number of Muslim restauranteurs knowing the Muslim and greater Chicago markets and introducing halal meat to their burger and taco joints. Below, find the most unexpected halal food Chicago has to offer, from the city's classic thin-crust pizza with pepperoni to the gyro, as well as high-end steaks.

Very much your typical burger joint, Slim's entire menu is halal. Their special — the Slim's Burger — is an homage to Chicago classics, with a burger patty topped with Italian beef. The dark horse MVP is the gyro: the meat is smothered in a pickle-ey and peppery sauce reminiscent of harissa or shatta, served with a side of tzatziki. Slim's also has amazing sides, like corn fritters, and a long milkshake menu.

Having recently become a strong addition to Bridgeport's numerous pizza options, Pizza Fried Chicken Ice Cream is also one of the best halal bites in the city: halal pepperoni is an optional topping for their thin-crust pizza. Customers had called in a few times to see if halal pepperoni was an option and it was soon added to the menu. The pepperoni cups are laid thick upon the wafer-thin pizza, so thick, there's really no need for any other topping (although you should add giardiniera, which Pizza Fried Chicken Ice Cream sells if you don't have any at home). Their vegetarian chicken fried mushroom is also a great dish.
