Get transported to Morocco in Sunrise at this halal restaurant. Kick off the meal at this classic Moroccan restaurant with a royal platter filled with four of the restaurant’s most popular salads: zaalouk (roasted eggplant sauteed with tomato, garlic, olive oil, spices), bakkoula (sauteed spinach with preserved lemons and green olives), beet, and dar tajine (herb salad with tomato, cucumber, red onion, dressing), before moving onto larger dishes like the lamb tajine or chicken couscous. Mint tea makes for a nice nightcap.

Almost hidden behind a CVS in Plantation is a halal favorite, Al Salam. The ample Mediterranean menu offers everything from classics like shawarma, grilled lamb chops, hummus, grape leaves, to even dishes like chicken wings and deep fried red snapper. Can’t decide? Opt for the mixed grill which comes with beef kafta kabab, chicken, and beef shish kabob, giving a sample of everything. 

Since 2010 Al Natour has been a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine here in South Florida. The Plantation restaurant is a go-to for halal dining in a communal, family-friendly setting. The spicy rice is a favorite, but other highlights like lamb chops, chicken shawarma, and spanakopita fill the menu.

As the name suggests, NYC-import and counter service restaurant Halal Guys offers a completely halal menu. What started as a popular food stand in New York City 15 years ago has expanded into nationwide chain offering offering a concise menu of platters filled with meats, rice, and vegetables, alongside a handful of sandwiches, wraps, and sides. No matter what is ordered, make sure to top it with plenty of the signature white sauce. 

With one of the most diverse halal menus in South Florida, Uncle Bill’s is worth seeking out. With offerings ranging from Caribbean cuisine to American comfort food classics, there’s truly something for every craving on the menu. Stars include the spicy chicken and Philly cheesesteak, but sleeper hits like the goat curry or chicken wings are winners too. 

This West Indian mom-and-pop restaurant is located in a bodega in Little River, and has been a fixture in the community for more than 30 years — even making an appearance on Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations. Caribbean flavors shine bright here with options like ackee and saltfish, curry goat, and jerk chicken roti, or ask the owner, who’s typically on-site, to help guide you through the menu for the day’s highlights.
