Part of the The Halal Guys chain — see all 60 locationsFrom 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.
The owners are Muslim and have confirmed its halal status. From the management: 'The Halal Guys takes great pride in using only the highest quality, halal-certified meats. We know many of our customers like to know the sources of their food and we are happy to provide the Halal certifications for our chicken and our beef gyro. 100% halal food.'

It was OK
Mediocre. Had the chicken over rice. Chicken wasn\'t well grilled and they give you the sauces in takeaway sachets to add to the food. I ate from the Chicago store when it opened, was excellent. This didn\'t live up to past experience.
Much easier to order the food from here than the main cart. It's the exact same food.. don't be fooled by the line - it tastes the same!
