About The Halal Guys

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.

I recently visited The Halal Guys with my friends Jot and Balrak, and overall it was a great experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and lived up to the hype. The chicken and gyro platter was perfectly cooked, and the white sauce really made everything taste even better. Jot especially liked the portion size—it’s definitely filling and worth the price. Balrak mentioned that the spice level was just right, not too overwhelming but still had a nice kick. The service was quick, and the staff were friendly, even during a busy time. The place itself was clean, though seating can get a bit tight when it’s crowded. Overall, it’s a solid spot if you’re craving halal street-style food. I’d definitely go back again with Jot and Balrak!
