A new restaurant featuring Mediterranean cuisine has opened its doors in San Marcos.
Halal Basket took over what was formerly a Cici’s Pizza on Thorpe Lane. The interior hasn’t changed much, featuring bright and inviting oranges and greens adorning the walls. Although this new San Marcos eatery offers pizza on its menu, most of the items are far different from its predecessor.
Halal is an Arabic word that translates to "permissible.” Halal is a term often used in the Quran to designate categories of subjects that are lawful. Islam often considers foods as halal that are made, produced, manufactured, processed and stored using machinery, equipment, and/or utensils that have been cleaned according to Islamic law. Additionally, foods considered halal are those free from any component Muslims are prohibited from eating according to Islamic law.
