Best Meat Delivery

Runner Up
Halal, in reference to food, is the dietary standard according to the Muslim scripture. For a food to be Halal certified, it must be prepared according to their rules, including but not limited to meats, excluding seafood, being butchered by a Muslim, and by hand with all of the blood drained out of it.
Unfortunately, there haven’t been many meal delivery services that have come to the market specializing in Halal dishes. However, the ones that have been making waves and providing healthy meal options for the Muslim community. Our overall favorite is Halal Meals for their attention to nutrition while still honoring Halal. However, there are some other great runners-up. Let’s take a look at exactly what these Halal meal delivery services have to offer and how to pick the best one for you.

BEST OVERALL
Halal Meals wins our top spot, hands down, for their quality and variety of Halal heat-and-eat dishes. With a rotating menu that changes every two weeks, Halal Meals offers nearly thirty meal options to offer tons of variety, so boredom is never an issue.
Entrees are available in single portion sizes or family portion sizes, which means you can easily serve a quick meal that meets Halal standards. Halal Meals is certified by Halal Monitoring Authority (HMA).
Our one reservation with Halal Meals is that currently, they’re still working toward creating more meal options that are free of common allergens or designed for vegetarian and vegan diets.

Buying Guide
Though there might only be a few choices for Halal meal prep and delivery, it is still essential to make the best choice for you. Here are some considerations before making your choice.
Ready to Eat vs. Frozen Meals vs. Grocery Products
There are three main types of certified Halal food that you can have delivered to your doorstep– ready-to-eat meals, frozen meals, and grocery products.
Ready-to-eat meals are those that can be refrigerated or shelf-stable at room temperature and then warmed up. Frozen meals take a bit longer than ready-to-eat meals but are still convenient. Grocery products are individual packages of meats ready to cook, snacks, sauces, and other products that you would typically buy from a grocery store.
Nutrition
Not all Halal-certified meals are healthy meals. If you are looking to meet health goals or have certain nutrition preferences, you’ll want to ensure that the service you choose can accommodate your needs. Our choice for the best nutrition-centered company is Scoff Meals, but you can meet a lot of dietary needs with the other companies as well.
Variety
One of the big factors that go into choosing a Halal delivery service is that there has to be variety. No one wants to eat the same foods over and over again. Ensure that the service you choose keeps its menu fresh by rotating it each week or offering a multitude of different selections.
