Is the meat certified halal?

That depends on the individual chef's sourcing, and it's exactly the thing to confirm before you order. Put your requirements in the request form and we'll only match you with a chef who can state where their meat comes from.

Is alcohol used in the cooking?

Chefs cooking to a halal brief leave alcohol out entirely — including in sauces and marinades. Confirm it explicitly with your chef when you're matched; it costs nothing to ask and removes the doubt.

Are the kitchens exclusively halal?

Most independent chefs cook for a range of customers from one kitchen, so full kitchen exclusivity is rare. If that level of separation matters to you, say so in the request and we'll be straight with you about which chefs can offer it.

Halal meal prep means more than skipping pork: it's zabiha-sourced meat, no alcohol used anywhere in the cooking — including deglazing and marinades — and honest handling in the kitchen. The hard part of eating halal from a meal service has always been trust, because a menu tag can't tell you where the chicken came from or what went into the sauce.

Prepared's approach is to keep that conversation human. Chefs on the platform are independent local cooks, not a central commissary, so requirements get confirmed directly: where the meat is sourced, what's in each sauce, how the kitchen handles separation. Tell us what standard you hold — strictly zabiha-certified suppliers, or halal-sourced with no pork and no alcohol — and we match you with a chef who can commit to it rather than one who'll wave a label at you.

Once matched, a week looks like any other Prepared order: individually portioned meals cooked fresh a day or two before delivery, macros published on every dish, portions adjustable before the weekly cutoff.
