✦ Weekly Meal PlanComing Soon

Halal food, weekly.
For students and professionals.

Five fresh halal meals a week for students at MUN, CNA, Keyin and other schools, working professionals and everyone else. Pick up a tiffin each weekday, cooked that morning.

We're aiming for around $49.99 per week for 5 meals. This is an estimate while we finalize the plan, not a live offer.
