Maher Halal Meat
A halal butcher and grocery on International Avenue (17 Ave SE), run by the Maher whose name is over the door. As a dedicated halal butcher, halal slaughter is the basis of the business rather than a side claim, though no separate third-party certifier is listed. The owner is the reason people come back Reviewer after reviewer names him rather than the shop - honest, welcoming, "I feel like home" turns up more than once. That is unusual even among well-liked butchers, and it is the thing this place is actually known for. The meat is described as consistently fresh and the store as spotless. Good to know 4.8 across 86 Google reviews - a strong average on a real sample. Prices are repeatedly called reasonable. A shop, not a kitchen - plan to cook at home.
