Quick answer: Is Farooj Abo Alabed Mississauga worth trying?

Farooj Abo Alabed is built around chicken cooked over charcoal, with the whole or half Farooj, Musahab sandwich and tawouk among the main choices.

The restaurant has also attracted strong interest from HFP diners. Over the last 30 days, it received more likes on Halal Food Pass than any other Ridgeway Plaza restaurant.

Halal Food Pass has not independently taste-tested every dish discussed in this review. Our assessment combines published menu information, public customer feedback, certification records and first-party HFP data.

Is Farooj Abo Alabed Mississauga halal?

Yes. Farooj Abo Alabed presents its food as halal, and Canada Halal Examination & Certification (CHEC) has a certification page for the Mississauga location.

CHEC’s record identifies:

Farooj Abo Alabed
4700 Ridgeway Drive, Unit 74, Mississauga

Certified: July 1, 2026
Certification ends: June 30, 2031
Scope: Every meal made at the location

There is one detail worth noting. The CHEC page identifies the correct Mississauga address but also contains a conflicting reference to the Scarborough branch elsewhere on the page.

Because halal certification is location-specific, Halal Food Pass has flagged that inconsistency rather than ignoring it.

Diners who require certification documentation can confirm the current certificate directly with the restaurant or CHEC.

What should you order at Farooj Abo Alabed?

Musahab sandwich

The Musahab sandwich is one of the restaurant’s signature chicken options and a good starting point for a first visit.

It combines the restaurant’s chicken-focused style with the sauces that feature heavily across the menu.

At HFP’s September 10 menu check, the Musahab sandwich was listed at $11.99 online.

Farooj charcoal chicken

This is the dish most closely associated with the restaurant itself.

The menu offers both whole and half Farooj chicken, making it a better choice if you want to experience the charcoal chicken rather than ordering a sandwich.

At the September 10 menu check, the half chicken was listed at $22.99 and the whole chicken at $42.54 through the online ordering menu.

Tawouk

Tawouk is another straightforward choice for someone who wants grilled chicken without ordering the Farooj.

It is available as both a sandwich and a meal.

Mixed grill

For diners who want to go beyond chicken, the mixed grill combines different grilled meats and gives a broader look at the menu.

Family meals

Farooj also has larger-format options including Farooj Family Chicken, Farooj Family Mix and Diwaniyah Al Rabee, making it practical for families or groups eating together.

Online and in-store prices may differ.
