Yep. Jewish dietary restrictions are more rigorous than Islamic ones. In the days when Muslims were few in the US, and most cities did not have a hallal butcher, observant Muslims were among the best customers of kosher delis.
There are some debates among Muslims as to whether Jewish blessings during the slaughter of an animal is sufficient to qualify as tasmiyah (blessing God in an Islamic context during slaughter). The majority opinion is that since Jews bless the same God as the Muslims for the same purpose, the Jewish blessings count as tasmiyah. There is a minority opinion that the failure by Jewish butchers to say specifically "Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim" when slaughtering an animal is sufficient to bar the consumption of kosher meat. There is no other issue for a Muslim eating kosher meat.
