Yala was born from the Umma Foundation's vision to feed people locally and globally. Starting as a nonprofit halal restaurant in Staten Island, YALA was designed to be 100% nonprofit - where wages, food costs, and overhead are covered, and all profit goes directly to humanitarian aid. The restaurant's rapid success drew overwhelming interest. To meet demand and multiply impact, we created the Yala Franchise: a for-profit opportunity where the franchise fee funds Umma Foundation projects, and franchisees get a mission-driven, proven business.

I stopped by since the place just opened and the atmosphere was really nice. I wasn’t sure what to get, so I decided on the Buffalo Chicken pie it looked great on the online menu. It took about 26 minutes, which was fine, but when I got the pizza, I was really disappointed. It looked like a kid made it, and the pie didn’t even fill the box like most places on the Island. I tried to keep an open mind, but the taste just didn’t make up for it. I only ended up eating half. The staff were okay, but the pizza itself needs a lot of improvement. If you go, I’d recommend trying something other than the specialty pies or going somewhere altogether
