Halal refers to foods permitted and prepared according to Islamic rules. The halal food industry is growing steadily worldwide.
Halal stands for foods that are permitted for Muslims according to the rules of the Koran and the Sunnah. The importance of the halal food industry is growing steadily: as early as the late 2000s the market value stood at over 632 million USD (as of 2009), and in 2010 around 400 companies in Germany offered halal products. More than 20 million Muslims live in Western Europe, 3.5 million of them in Germany, which explains the rising demand.
Halal food is prepared according to specific Islamic guidelines: all animals must be slaughtered following a particular rite, while pork and alcohol are strictly forbidden (haram). Forbidden foods also include products with intolerable ingredients. According to the Koran 5, verse 5, food from the "People of the Book" (Christians and Jews) is permitted under certain conditions; however, many international standards require Muslims to carry out the slaughter. Halal certifications vary according to the religious interpretation of the authorising bodies, which can make the choice more difficult for consumers.
Halal catering focuses on Oriental cuisine with fresh, home-made dishes free from additives, preservatives or flavour enhancers. The range extends from starters through main courses to desserts:
Dishes can be adapted to individual tastes, including the level of spiciness. Buffets are suitable for weddings, corporate events and private celebrations, sometimes with live cooking. A minimum order of 30 people and delivery within 100 km are common, though smaller events from 10 people are also possible. Sustainability is taken into account through environmentally friendly disposable cutlery and plates.
Positive customer reviews highlight the quality of the food, the friendly and professional staff and the straightforward process. Quick responses to enquiries are provided within 48 hours. egora takes up the growing demand and, through more than 100 top caterers, offers a broad range of flexibly adaptable, halal-certified menus for any occasion in Berlin.
