Our Story

A tradition of hospitality you can taste

Afghan International Halal Market was born from a simple conviction: that the food of Afghanistan deserves to be celebrated, preserved, and shared — not just within our community, but with everyone in Portland who values authenticity.

Our founders brought recipes, techniques, and relationships forged over decades in the markets of Kabul, Herat, and Mazar-i-Sharif. Every spice blend, every loaf of bread, every cut of halal meat carries that same intention — to honor the tradition while serving the community that trusts us.

We are proud to be a cornerstone of Portland's Afghan community and a destination for anyone seeking honest, wholesome food rooted in centuries of culinary heritage.
