How Our Verification Process Works

A restaurant's own halal claim and YaHalalo verification are different. Check each listing's current status and the information supporting it.

Step 1: Documentation Review

Restaurants submit detailed information about their suppliers, certifications, and practices

  • Halal certification from recognized Islamic organizations
  • Supplier documentation and certificates
  • Business registration and food safety permits
  • Detailed ingredient sourcing information

Step 2: Read the Verification Status

Review the checks and evidence available for the specific restaurant; do not assume every aspect has been checked.

  • Current verification status and the scope of the checks
  • The source of the halal information
  • Available evidence about kitchen and separation practices
  • Verification or expiry dates where provided

Step 3: Report Changes

Restaurant information can change. Use the reporting options when something needs review.

  • Report outdated or incorrect restaurant information
  • Request verification where it is not yet available
  • Contact the restaurant about missing details
  • Check the latest status before relying on an earlier verification
