Kerman is a historic city in southeastern Iran with abundant halal food options, as Iran is a Muslim-majority country where halal practices are standard. Most traditional local restaurants and kebab houses serve halal meat by default, though explicit halal certification labels are less common than in Western contexts. Food is concentrated in the bazaar areas and around central neighbourhoods.
