One of the most common questions we get by phone is simply: "Is everything halal?" The answer is yes. All of the meat served at Royal Palace Grill in West Bloomfield is halal, whether you're grabbing a shawarma sandwich at lunch or hosting 150 guests in the banquet hall.
What halal means on a menu
Halal is Arabic for "permissible." For meat, it means the animal was raised and slaughtered according to Islamic dietary law, with the name of God invoked, the blood fully drained, and no pork or pork by-products anywhere in the process. For diners, the practical effect is that you can order anything on the menu without asking about the source of each item.
Questions worth asking any restaurant
- Is all the meat halal, or only some items? Mixed kitchens are common. Ours isn't mixed: every protein we buy is halal.
- Is there any pork in the kitchen? None. No pork and no pork by-products, in any dish.
- Does the same standard apply to catering and events? At Royal Palace it does. The banquet hall is served by the same kitchen with the same suppliers.
What that looks like on the plate
Halal is a standard, not a style of cooking, so what you'll actually taste is Middle Eastern charcoal grilling: kafta, beef tikka and shish tawook kabobs, chicken and beef shawarma shaved off the spit, whole seasoned chicken with rice and stew, and seafood including catfish, salmon and shrimp. The mezze and falafel are plant-based.
