How We Started COOKT
Hi, we’re Ozair and Mahira, co-founders of COOKT.
Growing up in the U.S., we always felt the halal food scene was missing something. Most of the options were repetitive and didn’t reflect the variety and richness of global cuisine. As Muslims who love good food, we knew our community deserved more.
At the same time, life was moving fast. Between work, planning meals, grocery runs, and cooking every day, it was hard to keep up. We wanted something better for ourselves and for families like ours.
That’s why we started COOKT. We wanted to make it easier for busy Muslims to enjoy nutritious, flavorful, halal meals without the stress. Meals that bring excitement back to the dinner table.
Today, COOKT is growing quickly with a single goal in mind: to make high-quality halal food more accessible, more diverse, and more convenient for homes across the country.

About COOKT
We're redefining what it means to eat halal—bringing you chef-crafted, gourmet halal meals delivered straight to your door. Our mission is simple: to make high-quality, delicious, and diverse halal meals accessible to busy individuals and families who don’t want to compromise on taste, nutrition, or religious values. All meals are crafted by Michelin-trained chefs, using only premium halal-certified ingredients. We introduce new globally inspired dishes every week, ensuring variety and excitement. Every meal is quick, convenient, and ready-to-heat, while strict quality control guarantees no compromise on taste or faith.
Everyone Deserves Better Food
At COOKT, halal isn’t just a guideline—it’s a commitment to a better food system. Our meat comes from ethically raised animals, fed a clean diet, and slaughtered with care. This results in healthier, more humane food free from toxins, stress hormones, and contaminants often found in factory-farmed meat.
We use only 100% certified halal meat, sourced from trusted suppliers who meet strict hygiene and ethical standards. Every dish is prepared in a dedicated halal-certified kitchen to ensure zero cross-contamination with non-halal ingredients.
You don’t have to be Muslim to care about quality. Whether you’re health-conscious, flavor-focused, or simply curious, halal is a better choice—for your body, your values, and your taste buds.
We’re here for food lovers of all kinds—families, professionals, students, and elders. If you care about what you eat, you’re in the right place.
Welcome to a new way to eat. Welcome to COOKT.
