Halal meat source in Twin Cities?

[skipsdaughter]

Folks - we have a new faculty member at my college who moved here from Palestine a week ago and I'll be in the western suburbs this weekend. Hoping to find some groceries from home and know that Halal meat has been something he's particularly looking for. Does anyone have a favorite Halal grocery store in the Minnetonka area?

There are online services that will ship it to him

Absolutely. I'll check those out, just wanting to do something that feels a little welcoming as well... Thanks, Murdy!

The Costco stores in BC at least sell chicken that is branded Halal. Not sure if that is a brand name or the butchering process though. Always appears to be the same price as the regular chicken. May be worth checking out.

Halal in virtually every grocery store in this area.
From what I understand it is a butchering process

it has to be certified/verified I believe, it is not common in the US for meats to be labeled this way at traditional grocery stores, though ethnic ones probably do.

In a lot of cases I believe that kosher is ok for those requiring halal but not the other way around
