summary

There are lots of places to dine out but how to find real halal food restaurant? Crave Halal is a one-of-a-kind halal restaurant finder app.
We built user-friendly apps for iOS and Android. Along with app development, we created a web app for Crave Halal. Now finding healthy halal food is much easier.

Project idea

The client came up with the outstanding idea of creating a restaurant finder app but for halal food. Though there are dozens of cafes, bars, and restaurants, only some of them serve halal food, so finding such a restaurant is a real challenge in a "foodie" city.
The client wanted to build a native solution for iOS, Android, and Web that would enable diners across the USA and Canada to search for halal food restaurants. The app should be more than just a halal food application.
The users should also be able to review places, add photos, rate restaurants, pick up favorites, and share them with friends via social networks. The system needed to include social media connections and a navigation utility for mobile users to reach their destinations.

Target audience

The app is designed for anyone looking for halal food around their location. It’s a perfect fit for locals as well as day-trippers.
