Standing at a halal butcher counter with forty-plus cuts on display is a different experience than picking a shrink-wrapped tray off a supermarket shelf — it’s better, but it helps to know what you’re looking at. Fatima Bazaar’s counter on Scott Boulevard carries a genuinely deep range across beef, goat, lamb, veal, and chicken, all Zabiha Halal and hand-slaughtered, with beef sourced through an authorized Harris Ranch Black Angus partnership and goat and lamb arriving as whole carcasses broken down in-house every week. This guide sorts that entire counter by cooking method — grill, braise and stew, roast, and ground — so you can walk in (or order online) already knowing exactly which cut solves tonight’s dinner.
For the Grill: Fast, High-Heat Cuts
These cuts want quick, hot cooking and minimal fuss.
Beef Ribeye Boneless ($21.99/lb) and NY Strip Steak ($16.99/lb) are Fatima Bazaar’s headline Harris Ranch steaks — thick-cut, well-marbled, and best served simply with salt, pepper, and high heat. Striploin Steak ($16.99/lb) and Top Sirloin Steak ($12.99/lb) offer the same grill-ready profile at a friendlier price for a weeknight steak dinner.
Lamb Chops ($13.99/lb) need almost no technique: two to three minutes per side over high heat, a short rest, and they’re done. Goat Marinated Chops ($15.99/lb) are seasoned in-house, making them the fastest route to a flavorful weeknight grill dinner with zero prep. Chicken Marinated Wings ($6.99/lb) and Marinated Breast Cubes ($6.99/lb) offer the same shortcut for poultry — the kitchen does the marinating, you handle the grate.
For the Pot: Braise, Stew, and Slow-Cook
Tougher, more connective-tissue-rich cuts reward long, low, wet cooking — this is where a real butcher counter earns its keep over a supermarket case.
Beef Stew Boneless ($9.99/lb) and Beef Stew with Bones ($8.99/lb) are built for exactly what the name says — a Dutch oven, a few hours, and a rich braise. Beef Shank Bone In ($8.99/lb) and Beef Oxtail ($10.99/lb) go even further, releasing collagen into the pot for a stew that thickens itself. Beef Brisket ($10.99/lb) rewards a full low-and-slow afternoon, whether that’s a smoker or a covered oven braise.
On the goat and lamb side, Goat Meat Mix ($13.99/lb) and Lamb Meat Mix ($11.99/lb) are pre-cut for exactly this purpose — curry, karahi, or a Sunday pot of stew. Veal Stew Boneless ($10.99/lb) and Veal Stew with Bones ($8.99/lb) bring a lighter, milder flavor to the same slow-cook method for households that prefer veal to beef or lamb.
Chicken Leg Quarters ($3.50/lb) deserve a mention here too — the bone and connective tissue mean they hold up in a braised curry far better than boneless breast, and at $3.50 per pound they’re the best value on the entire counter.
For the Oven: Roasting Centerpieces
A handful of cuts are built to anchor a full table.
Premium Baby Goat Leg ($48.99, averaging 3.5 lbs at $12.99/lb) and Premium Baby Lamb Leg ($41.99, averaging 3.5 lbs at $11.99/lb) are the two showpiece roasts on the counter — score the meat, push in garlic and rosemary, and roast over indirect heat for a genuine occasion centerpiece. Lamb Shoulder ($41.99, averaging 3.5 lbs at $11.99/lb) roasts low and slow until it falls off the bone, ideal for a Sunday family dinner with minimal active effort.
Chicken (Whole) Natural Water Stunned ($17.49) and Chicken (Country Whole) ($24.49) round out the roasting lineup for a full-bird dinner — the “Country” line is a heavier, more mature bird favored for deeper flavor in slow-roasted or stewed preparations.
For the Skillet: Ground and Quick-Cook
Beef Ground 25% Fat ($8.99/lb) is the standard burger-and-kofta grind; Beef Extra Lean Ground ($10.99/lb) suits a leaner meatball or stuffed-pepper filling. Lamb Ground ($13.99/lb) and Goat Ground ($15.99/lb) are the two grinds most home cooks reach for when making kofta kebabs or a spiced meatball — mix with onion, parsley, cumin, and coriander, form, and pan-sear or skewer. Chicken Ground ($6.99/lb) is the lightest option of the four, useful for a milder kofta or a quick weeknight stir-fry.
Chicken Tenderloins ($6.99/lb) and Chicken Breast ($5.99/lb) round out the fast-cooking poultry lineup for anyone doing a same-night stir-fry, fajita, or pan-seared cutlet.
Beyond the Counter: Deli and Grill Menu
Fatima Bazaar’s counter isn’t only raw cuts. The deli case carries Basha Turkey Smoked Breast ($16.49/lb) and Beef Bacon ($12.99/lb) — genuinely useful halal alternatives for sandwiches — alongside a full basturma and salami lineup. And if cooking isn’t on tonight’s agenda at all, the in-house Egyptian grill has ready-to-eat options like the Hawawshi Traditional ($10.99) and Koshary ($10.99), Egypt’s most popular street food, along with weekly Friday and Saturday specials.
