6 Great Dining Rewards Programs with halaal options you need in your life

There’s very little that can beat an evening out with great company and great food. Indulging the senses with the latest in culinary trends or heading out for something familiar and comforting, food is the staple that underpins almost all of our socializing.

Having said that, eating out is becoming an exercise where you have to dig increasingly deeper into your pockets to feed this monster. So to make those rands stretch it makes sense to sign up to one or more Dining Programmes or Deal Apps. Not all of them cater well for halaal but we’ve put together a list of the ones that have the most options in South Africa.
Numbers do not reflect franchise branches.

Crescent Lifestyle

This is at the top of the list for the amount of halaal options available but the average saving is only 10% off your bill. Other things that make it attractive to Muslim consumers is that they also have non food partners, a monthly draw where every member could win a R15 000 contribution toward an Umrah package at no additional cost to them and a portion of your membership fees goes to charity.
Cost: R85 p/m for the primary member
Amount of halaal restaurants in:
Cape Town – 17
Gauteng – 30
Durban – 10
