Halal food is much like Kosher, with a just a few differences. For meat, essentially, if it is Kosher then it is also halal.

There are a couple of existing apps to find halal restaurants or even stores, but they have outdated info and very few restaurants even in big cities.

Another issue is that different people have different meaning of halal, conservatives have a very strict standard. e.g. Some wont eat regular cheese if it is made using rennet from non-halal sources (much like strict vegetarians).

Only Muslims are permitted to slaughter animals for halal meat.

I'm not condoning industries that discriminate by religion, by the way
