From [pita wraps to salads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greek-halloumi-wrap), skewers and desserts, the Family Style Carry-Out Meal features a range of classic Mediterranean dishes that ensure there's something for everyone. Putting convenience and health at the forefront of its concerns, the restaurant's $38 meal is ideal for serving a family of four. As a base, the Family-Style Carry-Out Meal includes standard items like miniature pitas, hummus, rice pilaf and greens, which are complimented by two additional options of a family's choosing, such as steak, salmon, chicken or falafel, as well as three Yalla side dishes. When it comes to ordering, this special family-style meal to-go can be ordered online or in-store, with no advance notice required, as with Yalla Mediterranean's catering option. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Family-style Carry-out Meals:** Restaurants can explore offering family-style carry-out meals for convenience-conscious customers. - **To-order Take-out Meals:** Businesses can cater to busy families by providing to-order take-out meals with customizable options. - **Healthy Fast-casual Food:** The healthy fast-casual food industry can expand to offer more family-focused meal options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Restaurant Industry:** Restaurants can explore offering family-style carry-out meals for convenience-conscious customers. - **Catering Industry:** Catering businesses can expand to offer more to-order take-out meals for busy families. - **Fast-casual Dining Industry:** The fast-casual dining industry can innovate and expand to offer healthier family-focused meal options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Middle-Eastern-Cuisine Holiday Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/east-tea-can-features.md) - [Family-Focused Meal Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meal-kits-for-families.md) - [Fresh Mediterranean Chicken Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mediterranean-chicken-wraps.md) - [Frozen Falafel Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-falafel-bowls.md) - [Family-Friendly Weeknight Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-dinneroo.md) - [On-The-Go Middle Eastern Dining Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-baba-by-amal.md) - [Middle Eastern Cuisine Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kofta-wrap-kit.md) - [Family-Friendly Recipe Delivery Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hellofresh-family.md) - [Hearty Heat-and-Eat Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/5-takehome-meals.md)
