By Gyro 9 Team·August 2026·8 min read

Richmond, Texas is home to a growing Muslim and halal-conscious community across Fort Bend County — and the demand for authentic, certified halal food has never been higher. Whether you’re looking for halal gyros, shawarma, burgers, or a late-night halal option near Sugar Land, this guide covers everything you need to know.

Quick Answer: Gyro 9 Shawarma & Grill at 2214 Thompson Rd, Richmond TX is Fort Bend County’s premier 100% Halal-certified Mediterranean restaurant, open late on weekends (Fri–Sat until 2AM).

What Makes a Restaurant Truly Halal?

Halal — meaning “permissible” in Arabic — goes beyond just the type of meat served. A truly halal restaurant must ensure:

  • ✓Zabiha slaughter — meat is slaughtered by a Muslim with the name of Allah at time of slaughter
  • ✓No cross-contamination — halal and non-halal products never share preparation surfaces
  • ✓No forbidden ingredients — no pork, no alcohol-based sauces, no haram additives
  • ✓Certified suppliers — sourcing exclusively from halal-certified distributors

At Gyro 9 Shawarma & Grill, every one of these standards is met. The restaurant holds full Halal certification from Al Halal Food Inc., covering all proteins, sauces, and preparation practices.
