How to share your experiences with the world about great halal places.

What kind of places can I review on Salam Advisor?
So you may think that Salam Advisor is only for reviewing halal restaurants. Well, no doubt, we do a great job on those, but there are so many other halal places and services that you can review on Salam Advisor.
Well, have you recently visited a great mosque? You could review that!
Did you stay at a great (or not-so great) Muslim friendly hotel on your last vacation? Write a review about it. Muslim schools? Check. Halal shops? Yes!
There are several kind of places you can review on Salam Advisor, to discover all of them use our search tool filters.
So go ahead, review all your favorite spots; you too can help others find great halal places!

What should I include in my review?
The best reviews are true, passionate and personal. They offer a rich narrative, a wealth of details, and a helpful tip or two for other consumers.
Think about your recent experience at a halal business - could you put details in there that would help future consumers like you?
- Try detailing your favorite (or least favorite) dishes at your local halal restaurant.
- Talk about an experience that will keep you coming back (or staying away) for years to come.
- Highlight an employee who went the extra mile to make your experience memorable.
- Include tips about the best time to arrive, where to park, or where the best seating is.
- Describe why people should try this spot.

What should I leave out of my review?
You should aim to keep your review accurate and reflective of a genuine, personal experience. For example, personal opinions (“the food here is the best”) are good, but speculation or exaggeration is something we frown upon (“I was told that food there is disgusting”).
More details about what to leave out of your review can be found in Salam Advisor’s
Content Guidelines.
Salam Advisor reserves the right to remove a review or management response at any time for any reason. The reviews posted on Salam Advisor are individual and highly subjective opinions.

How do I report a business owner comment?
If a business owner has claimed a business page on Salam Advisor, they have the option of responding to a review via a public comment. We look to business owners to engage constructively with customers who have not had a positive experience, and they obviously should not use public comments to launch personal attacks, advertise, or offer an incentive to change a review..
If you think a business owner comment may violate our
Content Guidelines, you can report it:
contact@salamadvisor.com .

How do I write a review?
To write a review you'll need to
create a Salam Advisor member account if you do not already have one.
Once you are logged in, you can locate the halal place you are trying to review by using the search bar located at the top of any page on the website.
Enter what you are looking for in the search field then click “Find now”. There are also search filters you can use to narrow your results.
Once you have located the business page, it's simple: click “Write a Review” and you will be led through the remaining steps to finish.
Please note that if you are unable to locate the halal place, you may need to
add it to Salam Advisor.

What is a helpful vote?
Your review gets a helpful vote each time someone clicks “helpful” on a review you posted.
Congratulations! It means that the content of your review is useful to other members and that your opinion makes the difference!

Can I report a review?
Salam Advisor is a community-driven site, and removing photos, reviews, or other user content is not something we take lightly. We generally allow users to stand behind their reviews, and will only remove a review if we believe it violates our
Content Guidelines. We’ll send a message to your registered email when the content has been evaluated by our moderators, which may take several days. We’ll also notify the reviewer if their content is removed.
If you come across a review that you feel may violate Salam Advisor's guidelines, please let our moderators know by reporting it:
