    Title: Regarding food taken in canteen

    Question: I am working bachelor and I want to know that whether I can take the food described below or not. So, my question is that I use to take lunch in my office canteen. Most of the time, in canteen, they make chicken biryani, egg biryani and veg. biryani. Since I am not sure about the chicken is halal or haram. So, I just do not take it and finally I have only the option of other biryanies. Here the problem is that they use the same chicken curry made for Chicken biryani (I personally think so) in other two also. So my question is that can I take that veg./egg biryani or not. Here I want to add one more thing that I asked them about the chicken and they told that it is halal but my heart does not allow me to accept this because all of the canteen staff including contractor are non-muslim. I am eagerly waiting for your kind reply.
