What exactly does Halal mean? Many people in Austria have already heard about the term, but it is often unclear what is meant by it. Generally speaking, Halal refers to the dietary laws that are rooted in Islam. Translated from Arabic, this word means “allowed” and means things that are permitted under Islamic law. In Vienna you will find a large selection of Halal restaurants serving Halal food.
In addition to the Arabic restaurants, Halal-style meat is also prepared in Turkish and African cuisine. Only animals that have been slaughtered in accordance with the rules are eaten. The diversity of Halal-style meat specialties is high, ranging from lamb, chicken, beef to delicious desserts.
The demand in Austria is large and so have other kitchens adopted this style. For example, a halal pizza can be found at the Italian or a halal crunchy duck at the Chinese.
