irresistible, halal-healthy food. We embrace green.

Our Story
Our Vision
The Mashriqi family emigrated from Afghanistan to New
York City in 1984. Today, they are an American success
story.
The extended Mashriqi family operates a “halal mobile food
empire” in New York. The Mashriqi family behind Halal
Shop moved to California in 1995.
A business Born from Firsthand Experience
The Mashriqi family discovered firsthand the difficulty of
finding Islam-sanctioned food on their college campus.
They also noted the low quality of food offered at their
university. They identified fresh, delicious halal-prepared
on-campus food as a major need to be filled. They
identified food trucks as an innovative, highly visible way to
prepare and serve fresh food.
- Bring halal-certified food offerings to cater directly to
Muslim students/faculty/staff and community members. - Deliver real value: the finest quality fresh food at an affordable
price in an efficient manner. - Emphasize a diversity of cuisines to reflect the global backgrounds
and tastes of our customers. - Continue as pioneers of the growing food trucks phenomenon,
expanding to serve other campuses.
