[quote=Anonymous]Muslim here and I think people here are conflating halal and kosher. Kosher has rules re where the food is prepped, kosher kitchen etc. so most who are strictly kosher won't eat a plain or veggie pizza because it'd be prepped in the same place as pepperoni pizza. Halal rules are easier - it only applies to how the meat is slaughtered.

I'm not halal myself but my very very (preachy) Muslim family is and they routinely eat pizza from everywhere.

As for halal restaurants in this area - Moby (chicken and lamb are halal; beef is not); Tasty Kabob (Tysons); Sheesh Grill (Mosaic and Chantilly); Akivva Grill (S Arlington) and many many others - so you'd have to post your location.

But as an etiquette issue - are you really going to get kabobs for one parent at a kiddie bday party while the other parents suffer through their 80000th bday party with pizza? I'd say get the same thing for all the parents - and in this case any vegetarian food is FINE for the halal Muslims - pizza, bagels, salad, whatever.

FWIW I wouldn't do anything with fish. While fish doesn't have halal/non halal rules, there are rules re shellfish etc. - those rules aren't that strict, but in case this guest is really really observant, there may not eat shellfish.[/quote]
