Question

PalmyLocal · Accepted Answer

Afghan Darbar on Broadway Avenue is excellent — authentic Afghan halal food including kebabs, mantu, and rice dishes. Very popular with locals and Massey students. Reasonably priced.

Foodie · Answer

Can confirm Afghan Darbar is great. Their lamb kebabs and qabili palau are the best in Palmy. Open for lunch and dinner, closed Mondays.

HamiltonLocal · Answer

Yes! Try Baobab Cafe for African/halal food, Indian Aroma on Victoria Street, and the kebab shops around the CBD. Hamilton has a growing halal food scene. Also check restaurants along Grey Street and Anglesea Street.

Mainland cheddar and edam use microbial rennet and are halal-suitable. Anchor cream cheese is also fine. Fonterra brands (Mainland, Anchor, Kapiti) generally use non-animal rennet — check the ingredient list for "microbial rennet". Bega and Kraft slices are halal-certified. Look for the FIANZ halal logo on packaging. Pak'nSave and Countdown stock all of these.
