Our Story
Island Halal Mart was born from a simple belief — that every family in Staten Island deserves access to fresh, certified halal food and the authentic flavors of home.
Who We Are
Built for Staten Island's
Bangladeshi Families
Island Halal Mart was founded by members of Staten Island's Bangladeshi community who understood a real need — a neighborhood grocery store that truly feels like home. A place where you can find fresh Hilsa fish, mustard oil, authentic Bangladeshi brands, and certified halal meat all in one place.
We know what it means to crave the flavors you grew up with. We know the difference between fresh Rohu and frozen. We know which brands your mother used. That knowledge is built into every shelf in our store.
And while our heart is with the Bangladeshi community, our doors are open to every family in Staten Island. Whether you're Pakistani, Indian, Arab, or from any background — if you value fresh, halal food at honest prices, this is your store too.
"Finally, a store that feels like home."

What Drives Us
Our Values

Halal Integrity
Every product we carry meets strict halal standards. We source from certified suppliers and never compromise on what goes on your family's table.
Community First
We were built by this community, for this community. The Bangladeshi families of Staten Island are our neighbors, and this store is yours.
Freshness Always
