JFK's Restaurant & Lounge is proud to announce that we are 100% Halal. We do not serve any pork or add any alcohol in our menu items. We are dedicated to serve and respect our religious guest's needs and ensure we provide a positive and enjoyable environment for all.

Our chicken breasts and chicken wings are only supplied by Sargent Farms. Sargent Farms is HACCP Certified and are Certified Halal. From start to finish, all chicken processed at Sargent Farms is Halal. In an attempt to produce a suitable product for the Islamic community, their chicken is processed by hand, facing east towards Mecca, according to Islamic rituals.  Islamic Law stipulates that all meat consumed must be from animals that have been processed in accordance to Islamic Law, thus making it Halal or acceptable for consumption. Since 1999, Sargent Farms has been committed to producing 100% Halal chicken at their facility.

As for our breaded chicken products such as Chicken Tenders, they are supplied to us only by Crescent Foods who are certified halal as well. According to their website, Crescent premium birds are raised cage-free, in sunny ventilated barns on Amish farms in Indiana. They are fed only pure grains and soy with no hormones, then processed free from artificial ingredients, food coloring, and preservatives. The end result is a better choice for healthy delicious meals.

And finally our red meat is supplied only by NMK Corporate. NMK started off as one of a handful of halal meat retail stores in the Greater Toronto Area over 20 years ago. NMK Corporate was established to meet the demand of wholesaling meat products to vendors, restaurants, hotels and banquet halls. At NMK they have a three pronged approach to dealing with business successfully. The first approach is to ensure the absolute highest quality of product, by diligently providing a highly efficient quality control service in buying and selling meat. Their second approach is to make sure their Halal Meat is actually Halal, and not just a coloured stamp. They take this aspect very seriously as blind trust is put upon them by consumers, and taking advantage of this trust goes against their fundamental religious beliefs. Their third approach is to ensure an open line of communication with their clients, and make sure they are providing them with the products that they want and products that will provide them with a better customer experience.
