Because the meat comes directly from an adjacent halal butcher, the sourcing here is about as traceable as it gets for a sit-down restaurant, even without a separate outside certifying body. It's worth asking staff which curry is the day's specialty, since the menu is large enough that a recommendation helps narrow it down…
