Canada is a multi-cultural hub. Residing here are more than 1 million people speaking Punjabi or Arabic. With that being said, many cross-cultural and exciting things are always happening there. For the purpose of this article, we’ll focus on food. India and Middle East are widely known for their halal food preferences. Halal stands for permissible in Arabic, and has to do with the slaughtering process and certain types of meat, like pork. Besides restaurants rooting from these immigrant communities all over the world, western countries are also becoming more and more familiar with Asian and Middle Eastern halal recipes. If you ask, they’re absolutely delicious. That’s why we rounded up for you a list with the best halal restaurants in Montreal, Canada. Check them out!
