A 100% Zabihah halal butcher on Riddiford Street in Newtown, Wellington, where meat is cut to the customer's spec. The shop says its meat is halal certified, sourced from approved New Zealand farms and cut fresh daily, and it is open seven days a week.
Walk-in shoppers can buy beef, lamb and mutton, chicken, goat, mince, marinated cuts, offal and whole carcasses, with no account, no order ahead and no minimum. Steaks can be cut to a chosen thickness, mince ground to a chosen coarseness, and meat diced for curries. Prices are marked on each tray, and payment is by EFTPOS, cash or contactless. Ice can be supplied for a chilly bin.
The shop also supplies restaurants, takeaways, caterers and commercial kitchens, and issues wholesale price lists matched to volume. Trade orders are collected from the shop, which says that keeps trade prices down and the cold chain unbroken. Its parent company, Inaaya Group, has supplied more than 50 kitchens over 15 years.
