6 Halal-Friendly Restaurants in Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Triangle | Eater Carolinas

"This Brier Creek spot serves excellent Persian halal food (all meats are Zabiha halal certified), with the core of the menu being the signature kabobs. There are traditional koobideh (ground beef or ground spicy chicken), baarg (beef tenderloin), barreh (lamb), and more. The kashke bademjan, a garlicky, minty eggplant dip, is superb, and the stews and soups are perfect for a cold, rainy day (try the khoresh gheymeh split pea soup with beef and dried lemon). The family-style Royal Feast is a great way to get to know the cuisine — bring along a few friends." - Matt Lardie
