Zabihah

03/12/2026

Salams, and wishing you the best in these last 10 days of Ramadan!

We created Zabihah way back in 1998 so that we could power the halal food revolution. Since then we've served millions of Halal foodies around the world with the best halal food nearby.

We've now rewritten everything from scratch and plan to introduce several new features we've been pondering for years now. Stay tuned!

After years of building Zabihah into the leading global platform for halal discovery, we’re taking the next step in our evolution — and it’s a major one.

Zabihah is merging with river.app, a rapidly growing fintech infrastructure company focused on compliant, cross-border payments. Zabihah will become the brand & gateway to the halal economy — powered by River’s infrastructure

As part of this merger, Arman Khwaja is joining River as Co-Founder & Chief Growth Officer, and Shahed Amanullah will lead Zabihah’s transition into a halal payments platform within River.

Why River?

River is scaling fast — processing tens of millions in annualized volume, growing 550% this year, and already working with governments, telecoms, and platforms to:

- Replace informal hawala systems
- Power Shariah-compliant remittances
- Enable digital wallets at global scale

The River team includes founders of category-defining companies and is backed by former leaders from Venmo, Brex, and Deel — who are not just advisors, but also investors.

Why Zabihah?

Because trust matters. Because reach matters. Because building for the global Muslim market requires both.

Together, we’re building the world’s first end-to-end halal commerce ecosystem — from discovery to delivery to remittance. And we’re just getting started.

Let’s build the future of halal fintech — together.

Salam, halal foodies -

Our excitement for the coming of Ramadan is amplified by the brand new apps and features we're cooking up. We are beginning a year of accelerated development that will revolutionize the halal food space which we've been bringing to you for 25 years.

As Zabihah grows and transforms in 2025, here are some reflections by Shahed Amanullah outlining the history of Zabihah and what the growth of the Halal food scene means for Muslims in America. Give it a listen! Thank you Meli Solomon for the wonderful discussion on the "Living Your Beliefs" podcast!

“Food is the ultimate cultural medium. It’s the first way people learn about each other, and I’m happy that food from Muslim cultures around the world has permeated the American landscape...”

“I want people to know that a halal restaurant is a safe space—not just for Muslims, but for everyone. If people feel like they don’t understand Muslims, they should go into one of these restaurants, eat the food, and see the people around them...”

“I encourage everyone—Muslims and non-Muslims—to be a part of this journey. Download the Zabihah app, explore, and appreciate our rich halal food culture...”

The Living Our Beliefs podcast grew out of the Talking with God Project research. Through Méli's personal conversations with guests, you can learn about how observant Muslims, Jews and Christians live their faith - at home, at work, and in the community. Together we explore how faith and practice s...
