Kebabish Grill & Fried Chicken

Springfield · $

They say halal. The combo over rice is solid. Watch the fried chicken — one reviewer reported undercooked, and that's not a risk worth taking.

MADA - Halal Food Truck

Everett

The Mada burger is a sermon. General Gao chicken that shames the Chinese spots, Nashville sando that sings, loaded chicken fries that demand you share with someone you love — and it's all halal, which means this food truck is not a secret anymore.

ROYAL CHICKEN & GRILL

Fitchburg · $$

Halal chicken is the headline. The execution is solid, but the kitchen's time management is a genuine problem — twice now, regulars have walked.
