HOW THE GUIDE WORKS

Useful information, clearly presented.

We organize local information, show uncertainty plainly, and keep the directory useful without overstating what it knows.

Updated: October 1, 2026

Our standard

Be useful, be transparent, and never turn an assumption into a guarantee.

What we publish

We publish directory and editorial content about halal restaurants, mosques, markets, schools, neighborhoods, and related local resources across New York. Pages are organized by place, category, and practical intent.

How information is selected

We consider local relevance, usefulness to Muslim users, available public information, geographic coverage, and whether a page helps someone make an informed next step. Inclusion is not a certification, endorsement, ranking, or guarantee.

Halal terminology

Halal practices can vary by business, supplier, preparation method, and community standard. We avoid presenting a listing as universally certified unless a specific, current, attributable certification is clearly documented. Ask the organization directly about the practices important to you.

Corrections and updates

Hours, menus, services, ownership, addresses, and community information change. We may revise, add, consolidate, or remove content when better information becomes available. If you identify an error, provide the page, the specific issue, the date observed, and a reliable current source or direct organization contact where possible.

To report an update, open the listing’s attributed source, use the contact method that source publishes, and include the exact NY Halal Guide page URL plus the field that needs review. The listing’s source type, last-checked date, and review status remain visible so changes can be evaluated without guessing.

How freshness is maintained

Needs-review records are the first source-review queue. Each review records the exact source URL, source type, last-checked date, evidence or review reason, and a correction path. Official pages do not make a listing a certification or guarantee; registration and directory sources are provenance signals only.

If a source suggests a closure or move, we preserve the dated evidence and seek confirmation before changing operating status, deleting a distinct record, redirecting a page, or merging a shared-address entity.

Editorial independence

Directory inclusion should not be understood as paid placement or an editorial endorsement. If commercial relationships, sponsored content, or affiliate links are introduced, they should be disclosed clearly on the relevant page.

What we do not do
  • Invent reviews, ratings, testimonials, or business facts
  • Guarantee hours, prices, availability, or halal practices
  • Claim that every listing has been personally inspected
  • Use “verified” language without a clear, supportable basis
  • Replace direct communication with a business or organization
Corrections matter

A trustworthy directory is maintained over time. We welcome clear, specific corrections that help visitors make better decisions.
