Most major restaurant chains in the USA do not carry halal certification at the corporate level. A few brands operate halal-certified locations in specific countries, particularly in the UK, Middle East, and Southeast Asia. The difference matters: a chain that is halal in London may use completely different suppliers in New York.
Each guide below investigates a single brand. We check the official corporate halal policy, identify which locations (if any) hold certification from recognized bodies like HMC, HFA, IFANCA, or JAKIM, flag cross-contamination risks from shared grills and fryers, and list the safest menu options for Muslim diners who choose to eat there.
