Allahabad has a modest but established halal food scene, primarily concentrated in the old city and around the Jama Masjid area. Muslim-owned eateries and traditional Mughlai restaurants dominate, though formal halal certification is uncommon; most rely on community reputation and practice. Options are decent for North Indian Muslim cuisine but limited for international halal dining.
