Amritsar has a significant Muslim population, particularly in the old city around the Golden Temple, so halal options are genuinely available and concentrated in specific neighborhoods. However, certification is informal; most halal food comes from Muslim-owned establishments that follow halal practice rather than official certification. Non-Muslim restaurants rarely advertise halal options, so awareness and word-of-mouth are essential.
