Visitor viewHow it works
1 · Say what you want
Type one sentence into the search box; in classic mode you pick region and category.
2 · We search everywhere
Places, products, knowledge — whatever exists, with its evidence.
3 · Check the badge, make the call
Every result carries its evidence level — the verdict is yours.
Knowledge base
Know the criteria
Every criterion you search by has a definition behind it. Know what you are picking before you pick it.
Halal
Slaughter by Islamic rite: the invocation, a qualified slaughterer, full draining of blood.
Kosher
Compliance with Jewish kashrut law: qualified slaughter (shechita), meat–dairy separation, rabbinic supervision.
Alcohol-free
No alcohol served on the premises and none used in the food.
Organic
No synthetic pesticides or fertilisers; a certified production chain.
Vegan
No animal input at all — including gelatine, dairy, eggs and honey.
Multi-faith
Halal and kosher — one roof, equal standing
HalalVera is not the practice of a single faith. Both traditions run on the same verification backbone: the rules differ, the standard of evidence does not.
- Authority
- Recognised halal boards such as JAKIM, HFA, Diyanet, MUI
- Slaughter
- Zabiha — the invocation, the neck vessels, draining the blood
- Separation
- Alcohol forbidden; service on site and use in food are asked separately
- Audit
- Facility inspection + supply-chain documentation
- Authority
- Rabbinical bodies such as Beth Din, OU, OK
- Slaughter
- Shechita — a trained shochet, a flawless blade, lung inspection
- Separation
- Dairy and meat kept apart: separate kitchens, equipment, waiting times
- Audit
- On-site mashgiach supervision + periodic recertification
The backbone
Every record carries a level of trust
Marking a place “halal” is not enough — who said so, and how, is written on the card.
Field-verified
Our team or an authorised volunteer went there and checked the criteria with their own eyes.

Certified
A recognised body has issued a valid certificate; it appears on the card with its source.
Certificate no · issuer · validity
Community-verified
Formed from user reviews and answers to community questions; a side channel that does not substitute for formal verification.
User review · community answer
Referrer-verified
Rests on information passed along by a recognised partner source or referrer; only as reliable as what was passed along.
Referring source · date passed on
Self-declared
An ownership-verified business stated the criteria itself; no independent check yet.
Ownership verified · date declared
From the web · unverified
Compiled from open sources. A pointer, not proof — ask before you go.
Source list · last checked
A record can be demoted as well as promoted: when a certificate lapses the card drops back to “self-declared” automatically and the business is notified.
Same record, different baseline, different verdict
Two readers, two different criteria baselines — but one record. The verdict follows your baseline, not the record.
Reader A
Reader B
The same record
One dataset, one evidence chain
Suitable
Both criteria in the baseline have evidence.
Partly suitable
One criterion in the baseline has no evidence — the card says so.
Who is it for?
People with religious requirements
People eating natural or health-conscious
Ethical and lifestyle choices
Travellers
Community
Ask the community what the card doesn't say
Answers attach to the place's card; verified information updates the record itself. The cards below are examples of how the feature will work.
Any gelatin-free dessert shops in Dearborn?
“Some baklava lines run on plant-based gelatin and say so on the box — ask about the cream-based ones.”
Does a Beth Din kosher certificate count as halal?
“The slaughter method largely overlaps, but they diverge on the blessing and on alcohol. The knowledge-base comparison lays it out.”
How do I find a family restaurant that serves no alcohol?
“Add 'Alcohol-free venue' to your search preferences and only places that prove that criterion rise to the top.”
What's your question?
Unsure about something at a place? Ask — let the people who know it answer.
Volunteer programme
People who know their city
HalalVera grows through people who live where the places are: they propose venues and products, write sourced explainers, visit, and translate.
