Naz’s Halal Foodis a fast-casual halal restaurant franchise known for bold flavors and street-food roots. The brand was founded in 2009 in Queens, New York by cousins Naz and Kareem, who come from a family with deep experience in the restaurant industry.
The concept began as a single halal food truck serving rice platters, gyros, wings, and burgers inspired by New York City street cuisine. Its early popularity helped pave the way for rapid brand recognition.
Naz’s Halal Food opened its first brick-and-mortar restaurant in January 2018, marking a major milestone in its growth. The company is headquartered in Hicksville, New York and has expanded to dozens of locations across multiple states. Building on its operational success, Naz’s Halal Food officially began franchising in 2024.
The franchise model is designed for high-traffic urban and suburban markets, including college towns and late-night dining areas.
The menu centers on halal-certified comfort food with wide consumer appeal. Core offerings include seasoned rice platters, wraps, gyros, burgers, wings, and sides made with fresh ingredients.

Naz’s Halal Food provides a thorough and structured training program to ensure franchisees and their teams meet the brand’s standards. The training includes the following components:
Initial Training Program Conducted at the franchisor’s training center in Long Island, New York, this program is required for the Managing Owner and Designated Manager. It covers both classroom and hands-on instruction, and while there’s no fee for the Required Trainees attending the initial session, additional attendees may incur charges. Travel, lodging, meals, and payroll costs are the responsibility of the franchisee.
On-Site Opening Support For first-time franchisees, a training team is sent to the location to support the grand opening. This service is provided at no extra cost, while franchisees opening subsequent locations must reimburse all associated costs, including per diem, travel, and lodging.
Employee Training and Responsibility Franchisees must ensure that all employees complete the training program and are adequately qualified. The franchisor may offer additional or remedial training for a fee if requested or deemed necessary.
Ongoing and Refresher Training Attendance at annual conferences and periodic refresher courses is required for key personnel. These sessions may be subject to reasonable fees, with all travel and related expenses covered by the franchisee. The franchisor may modify or discontinue these programs at any time.
Territory Protection
Naz’s Halal Food does not offer exclusive territory rights to its franchisees. While franchisees may be granted a "Protected Territory," this area is defined upon approval of the restaurant's location and may range from 0.05 to 1 mile in radius. The franchisor reserves the right to operate or authorize restaurants in non-traditional venues such as airports, malls, and military bases even if these fall within the Protected Territory.
Additionally, franchisees are not protected from competition within their Development Area unless they are in full compliance with the Development Agreement.
Even then, the franchisor and its affiliates maintain the right to engage in activities not expressly restricted, including selling through other channels or brands. The agreement clarifies that Non-Traditional Locations are explicitly excluded from territorial protections unless otherwise stated.
