Additionally, patrons can look forward to other hot, limited-time offerings such as Chicken Shawarma and Cilantro-Lime Hummus. Besides, the halal food market's growth is driven by a combination of demographic trends, ethical considerations, and the broadening appeal of halal products across diverse consumer groups which are shaping the market, ensuring its expansion in Muslim-majority and non-Muslim-majority regions.
