The sheep and chicken menus are Halal. Not all menus are Halal, but they do not serve food that contains pork and no alcohol menu available.
No pig-derived ingredients used
For the sake of clarity, “HALAL” is marked on the Halal menu.
Köfte Sandwiches with Turkish beef with minced beef are also Halal. Thick French bread crispy on an iron plate, two Köfte, and lettuce and tomato.
HALAL BEEF Kyofte Sand ¥ 700
You can choose pita bread, but if you come here it is recommended to eat kebab in French bread, since the mainstream Turkish kebab sandwich uses French bread. There are also mackerel sandwiches, a famous and popular menu in Turkey.
There are various kinds of sauces, such as sweet and dry, as well as curry flavors called Baharat and Iskender.
Iskender is a combination of two sauces; tomato sauce and garlic yogurt sauce.
The normal size is also quite large with full volume!
Iskender spicy sauce

I currently work as an editor, but my previous job was as a chef, with many years of experience working in hospitals, restaurants, and the food service industry. Looking back, I think my connection to halal may have already been there.
Decades ago, I once worked in a cafeteria at an auction venue. Over 60% of the visitors were foreigners. Many Muslims were present, and the venue had a mosque-like prayer space. I remember being frequently asked questions about whether the meat was halal and what kind of meat it was. At certain times, the cafeteria would become as lively as a festival. The Indian restaurant next door would generously serve free biryani, curry, and sweet drinks to everyone who came. Over 100 people, including people wearing bright red turbans, galabeyas, and traditional attire, gathered in the cafeteria, all sitting around the same table and enjoying a truly enjoyable time. Looking back, it was iftar, the end of fasting, and I understand the significance of sharing, but at the time I was ignorant of halal and Islam, and didn't even consider how to respond. They only ate the curry made by the Indians in the restaurant. As I studied halal, I realized, "I wanted to eat Japanese food, but I couldn't." I regret not doing anything even though there was something I could have done.
If only it didn't contain pork! If only it didn't contain wheat or buckwheat! I could eat it... Food insecurity is different for each person.
That's why I think it's important to learn about the differences in culture, religion, and lifestyle that underlie it, and to create an environment where everyone can enjoy delicious meals in comfort.
The desire for delicious, safe, and secure food is universal. The times are calling for people to live in new ways that transcend borders and religions. I hope that halal can be a gateway to eliminating food insecurity, contributing even in some small way to a society where people can coexist and prosper with more liberal thinking, and to global harmony beyond.
