$1.54 Trillion
A $668 Billion Market… and Growing Fast.
The U.S. halal food market is massive and expanding rapidly — valued at $668.7 billion in 2024 and projected to reach $1.54 trillion by 2033.
This growth is fueled by a rising Muslim population, wider halal availability in mainstream retail, and increasing demand for ethical and high-quality food choices.
Yala is built to lead this movement — modern, affordable, and purpose-driven.
From One Kitchen to a Movement.
Yala was born from the Umma Foundation’s mission to feed people with dignity. The first restaurant in Staten Island was fully nonprofit, where all profits funded aid for families in need.
That same mission now powers Yala franchises — restaurants owned by local entrepreneurs that keep giving back with every sale.

Yala blends purpose with strong performance.
Each location averages $950k – $1.5M in annual sales, reaching break-even within 12–24 months.
It’s the only halal diner concept that donates 5% of sales to humanitarian aid and still delivers solid returns for franchisees. The story inspires loyalty; the food keeps guests coming back.
