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.
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.'

Probably one of the best Mediterranean places around Midtown. Their signature sauce is to die for
⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Halal Guys definitely lived up to the hype! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. The chicken and gyro over rice were both delicious, and the white sauce really takes it to the next level — it’s a must-try! The staff were friendly, and the service was fast, even during rush hour. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and amount you get. I’ve seen some people mention inconsistency, but my experience was excellent. Everything was hot, tasty, and perfectly cooked. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon!
