Shiraz, as a major city in Iran, has abundant halal food options since Iran is an Islamic Republic and all mainstream restaurants observe halal practices by default. However, Western fast food chains and international restaurants may have limited halal certification documentation. The best dining concentrates in the Karandish and Eram Garden areas, plus around the Vakil Bazaar.
