Is Texas de Brazil halal?
No. Texas de Brazil says it buys halal lamb but cooks every meat, pork included, on the same skewers, so the cooked lamb is not considered halal.
The longer answer
Texas de Brazil's FAQ (checked October 2026) answers the question "Do you offer halal or kosher meats?" this way: "We do not serve kosher meat and only our lamb is halal. However, we use the same skewers to cook all meats, including pork. Therefore, although we buy halal lamb, the cooked lamb is not considered halal because of the way we prepare and cook it."
A company blog post dated January 23, 2026 says the same thing in more detail: "the halal options in our restaurant are limited to the salad area." It explains that only the lamb is certified halal when purchased and that shared skewers which touch pork also touch the lamb.
The company does not name the certifier of the lamb it buys.
What to check before you order
By the company's own account, none of the cooked meats are halal as served. If you go, the salad area is what the company points to, and it is worth checking individual salad items for bacon or other meat.
