FAQs
Questions, answered
Who is Salaam Social for?
Single Muslims, primarily ages 40 and older, in Philadelphia and the surrounding area who would like to meet new people in person, in a halal setting. Whether you've never married, are divorced, or are widowed, you're welcome.
Is this only for people seeking marriage?
No. Marriage is one possible outcome, and a welcome one — but so are friendship, sisterhood, brotherhood, community, and professional connections. There's no expectation placed on any conversation.
Where will dinners take place?
At halal restaurants in Philadelphia and nearby areas. The specific restaurant is shared privately with confirmed attendees only.
How are groups organized?
Members share their interests, preferences, and availability. The organizer reviews that information and thoughtfully arranges each table by hand.
Can I attend on my own?
Yes — most people will. Dinners are designed so you can come alone and feel at ease.
Is food included in membership?
No. Membership covers coordination and access to the experience. Each person pays the restaurant directly for their own meal, beverages, taxes, and gratuity.
How will I receive dinner details?
Once you confirm you can attend, restaurant and reservation details will be sent to you privately by email.
What if I cannot attend?
Life happens. If your plans change, please let the organizer know as soon as possible so the table can be adjusted for everyone.
Will my information be public?
No. Your information is kept private and used only to organize dinners. There is no public member directory or attendee list.
Will photos or videos be taken?
Not without consent. Any photo consent will be requested separately, and we ask every guest to check with others before photographing or posting them.
Can venues accommodate dietary needs?
We'll ask about dietary needs during onboarding and do our best, but we can't promise every venue can accommodate every allergy or requirement.
When will membership enrollment open?
Soon. Register now and we'll email you enrollment details and next steps before anything is required of you.

Our purpose
Why Salaam Social Exists
For many single Muslims, finding the right places to meet people — places that feel comfortable, respectful, and true to our values — isn't easy. Salaam Social exists to make it simpler: a shared meal, a thoughtfully gathered table, and real conversation. What grows from there is up to you.
Every cuisine. Always halal.
Soul food, jollof, biryani, tacos, pasta & more
Halal isn't one kind of food. Our tables travel the world — with no pork and no alcohol, ever.
