13 Halal-Friendly Dining Destinations in and Around New Orleans

"The exciting return of Cleo’s French Quarter location in February 2023 after a three-year pandemic shutter also marks the return of one of the area’s most elegant halal dining experiences. It’s a stylish, sit-down version of the grab-and-go store located on Canal Street, and it has reopened on Decatur with a revamped halal menu geared towards a French Quarter crowd, adding a significant number of seafood specialties as well. While we hope late-night hours will return eventually, Cleo’s on Decatur is currently open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m." - Clair Lorell, Beth D'Addono
