Chittagong, as Bangladesh's second-largest city and a major port, has abundant halal food options throughout the city. The vast majority of restaurants are Muslim-owned and operate halal by default, making it one of the easiest cities in South Asia for halal dining. Halal certification is less formalized here than in Western countries, but pork is culturally absent from most menus.
