Halal food in Phoenix

Phoenix has a growing halal food scene, though options are modest compared to larger US cities. The best halal selections are concentrated in central and south Phoenix, with a mix of Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and South Asian cuisines. Certification levels vary; many spots are Muslim-owned and halal by practice rather than formally certified.
