Burger King revealed it will bring back one of the favorite menu items in the United Kingdom. The Halloumi fries side is returning to the stores with approval from the Greek Cypriot YiaYia.
The Sun reported that the Halloumi fries are also sold at McDonald's but are already leaving the menu this week. Burger King also pulled out this snack option from its stores late last year, but due to popular demand, the company is making it available again for customers in the U.K.
Comeback Schedule for the Favorite Fries
Burger King announced that the Halloumi fries are coming back on April 23, and for the first time, customers may buy or order them via Uber Eats from April 23 to May 6. This menu item is Middle Eastern-style mozzarella sticks made with cheese from Cyprus that feels like Greek feta cheese.
The announcement brought excitement to fans who love the cheesy snack. Some fans expressed their delight on social media and declared they count the days until it is finally back on the Burger King menu. "Oh my fave thing from BK," one of the fans wrote, while another one said. "Oh! I love this."
Approval from YiaYia
The fries are 100% Cypriot halloumi coated in special BK breading. They are deep-fried with Sweet Chilli sauce. Once available, diners may get them in a box of 5 or 8 pieces.
Meanwhile, prior to the launch of Halloumi fries, Burger King UK invited YiaYia from London's Greek Cypriot Society to a taste-test event this week. Nottingham Post reported that it was a successful tasting event, as the snack gained the coveted "YiaYia seal of approval" from Bambi Steel and Helen Zannicos. In Greek, YiaYia means grandma.
"We loved tasting Burger King's Halloumi Fries this week," Steel and Zannicos said after the taste test. "They are the perfect balance of cheesy and salty, and the fact they are made with quality ingredients sourced from Cyprus makes them taste even better. We are pleased to award them with our very own YiaYia seal of approval!"
