From humble beginnings as a New York City hot dog cart to a world-renowned international restaurant chain, The Halal Guys story is the quintessential American Dream. The Halal Guys is defining a new, thriving segment for the restaurant industry: American Halal Food! The Halal Guys legend began in 1990, when the three founding partners opened up a hot dog cart on West 53rd & 6th Avenue in New York City. As business grew, they recognized a huge demand from Muslim cab drivers looking for a halal food meal. That is when the famous platter of chicken and gyro over rice was born. And let's not forget about the famous white and red sauces! Fast-forward 25 years, five carts, two New York City restaurants, and millions of diverse customers served, The Halal Guys is growing yet again. Fans no longer have to be in NYC to experience The Halal Guys as they look to share American Halal Food all over the country and the world. Added on December 29, 2015 and last updated 8 years ago

★★☆☆☆ Halal does not only mean meat. If there is a music at the background with curse words and workers are collected randomly, that place is not really halal. That was my experience. Posted on July 5, 2022 |

★★★★☆ This is a great place for a quick bite to eat. It's often packed (at least during lunch), so it's not like a relaxing spot where you can leisurely eat with friends. But if I'm in a rush, this is a great place to get food in like 2 minutes (assuming no line) and it's super casual. The food is good, and both the red and white sauces are AMAZING -- legitimately maybe some of the best sauces I've ever had on anything. It's basically street food (Halal Guys is famous for its food carts in NYC), so it's not the healthiest. I do crave it every now and then, but afterwards I sometimes wish I hadn't consumed such oily/greasy food.
Still, really glad this place is open. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out. Posted on August 13, 2018 |

★★★☆☆ I have been a long time fan of the original halal cart in NY. Obviously I got really excited when I learnt that they have opened a location about 4 miles from where I work in Tustin, CA. My first 3 trips were all in vain because I did not want to stand in line for hour and a half plus. Finally I made it one day (actually at night for dinner) and got a chance to finally get reintroduced to the mixed platter. It was OK nothing spectacular. Two things that I immediately realized that the quantity was way less than what I am used to getting at the cart in NY also taste was about 80% of what I remembered when compared to the original. The place was extremely busy and I counted more than a dozen people in the kitchen and behind the counter, as compared to 3 or 4 guys at the cart in NY. However the line moved really slow. The staff needs to work fast! As compared to the line here in in Cali. the line in NY moves 3 to 4 times faster. I might go back to this location but it is definitely not a deal at all. For almost $10 you get a little more than half of the food that you get in NY for cheaper. Posted on May 17, 2017 |

★★★★☆ I'm in love!! Obviously not as good as NYC, but it's getting there! Service was extremely fast. Wish they put more white sauce on the rice, but overall, delicious!! Posted on August 28, 2016 |

★★★★★ Have been hearing about this place from so many people and was not disappointed when we went in. I have returned many many times and the food is always excellent! I usually the Extra Protein (double meat), because I like to make it 2 meals for about the price of 1 and a half. Always friendly, fast and hassle free! Love this place the other ones in Long Beach and Los Angeles. Posted on June 2, 2016 |

★★★★☆ It was quite similar to the Halal Guys in Houston in terms of service, taste and ambiance. I tried the chicken wrap which was pretty good. The service was fast. Will be back again if i am in the area. Posted on May 27, 2016 |

★★★☆☆ Slightly disappointed in the food here. Had both the Chicken and Gyro platters. The chicken was better. Service was fast and friendly. For take-out they pack it up good and give you large packet of the white and red sauce (whichever you prefer) which is good. The red sauce is pretty spicy (more than I expected). Look forward to try again when they come to the Bay Area Posted on April 6, 2016 |
