Finding halal food in Australia has always been a shared experience in our community — part excitement, part uncertainty, and often a lot of searching. Where can I take my family this weekend? Which restaurants are verified? Is this café really halal friendly?
For years, these everyday questions did not have a clear or trusted answer. That gap in confidence is exactly what inspired Halal Advisor, one of the most innovative and fast-growing platforms in the Australian halal space today.
What started as a simple community idea has grown into a national movement, helping Muslims across the country discover halal-friendly eateries with clarity, trust, and ease.
This is the story behind the platform reshaping halal discovery.
Halal Advisor was founded by Aladdin Moukhallalati, a driven entrepreneur who recognised something many Muslims experienced daily: there was no reliable, transparent source for halal-verified eateries.
Family dinners, social outings, and even quick lunches often meant scrolling endlessly, calling restaurants to check their status, or taking chances without certainty. It was an experience filled with unnecessary doubt.
Instead of accepting this, Aladdin decided to build something better.
Halal Advisor began as a passion project, built on the needs of the community. As more Muslims sought clarity and convenience, the platform gained momentum. What was once a simple list evolved into a comprehensive halal discovery directory, mapping out:
- Restaurants
- Cafés
- Dessert bars
- Food courts
- Major chain venues
- Halal-friendly franchises such as Augustus Gelatery, now featured with 33 stores across the directory
Today, thousands of diners rely on Halal Advisor to guide their choices, helping them explore with confidence and peace of mind.
At its heart, Halal Advisor is driven by a simple but powerful mission:
To make halal discovery effortless, transparent, and trustworthy.
The platform exists to:
- Remove guesswork from halal dining
- Empower Muslim consumers with verified information
- Support halal-friendly businesses with visibility and credibility
Create a central hub where diners and businesses can easily connect
With Aladdin’s background in web development, marketing, and branding, the platform combines modern technology with authentic community insight, creating an experience that is intuitive, informative, and built for impact.
Halal dining is more than just food — it is about intention, trust, and shared values. When halal-verified options are easy to find, it strengthens community confidence and encourages businesses to uphold high standards.
Halal Advisor plays a crucial role in this ecosystem by:
- Giving diners peace of mind
- Supporting local and national halal-friendly businesses
- Showcasing the diversity of halal food across Australia
- Encouraging consistency and transparency in the industry
As the platform grows, so does the community’s voice and influence.
Halal Advisor is only getting started.
With new features on the way, expanding business partnerships, and continuous nationwide growth, the platform is shaping the future of halal discovery in Australia. The goal is simple:
to become the most trusted halal dining resource in the country, one that supports every Muslim household, every day.
Whether you are exploring a new suburb, planning a family dinner, or travelling interstate, Halal Advisor aims to ensure the halal options around you are clear, verified, and easy to navigate.
At Salaam, we are proud to support platforms like Halal Advisor — initiatives that uplift our community, strengthen trust, and make everyday choices easier for Muslim Australians.
Together, we look forward to celebrating the businesses that do it right and empowering the community to dine with confidence.
