Finding halal food in a new city shouldn't require a 30-minute Google spiral. HalalNear.Me is a halal restaurant directory with 1,700+ verified listings across Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Chicago, New York, London, and Sydney.

Hello PH 👋🏻 I'm a Muslim designer living in Vancouver. Every Ramadan the same problem comes up: where do I eat suhoor? Which places are actually open for iftar near me? The answer is always a frustrating mix of Google, Yelp, Reddit threads, and lists from 2019. So I built HalalNear.Me. 1,700+ listings across 8 cities, neighborhood-level pages, and Ramadan 2026 guides for Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary with actual suhoor and iftar picks. Currently Canada only more countries and cities coming soon. The brand was designed intentionally too, colors and typography rooted in Islamic food culture, not just generic startup green. It's a bootstrapped side project. I do this alongside my day job and a couple other products. It's not finished, it's a living directory. But it's the most personally meaningful thing I'm building right now. One ask: drop your city in the comments. Every comment is literally a vote for which city we build next. That's how the roadmap works. 🌍 Happy to answer anything, data sourcing, tech stack, halal verification, or just which spot makes the best biryani :D
