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.'

I really want to love this place, but it just doesn't hit me right. The service was top notch, smiling faces and happy people who give you a really good serving of food. The food looks and tastes fresh, really nothing wrong with it honestly. I'm just bored with it I guess. I'm part middle eastern and they have middle eastern stuff, but maybe it's just too Americanized for me. It's basically just rice, meat, and salad fixings like lettuce, tomatoes, green pepper, and they have Jalapeños and olives you can add. You can have it in a bowl or a wrap. There are like 3 sauces, some kind of mayo sauce, a spicy BBQ, and a hot sauce. They also offer Tahini, which is what I got. Maybe it's me, maybe I'm fixing it wrong? I didn't add anything spicy except a side spicy BBQ pita. I called my son after eating here and he said, "don't you remember you felt the same way last time we went together to that restaurant?" Honestly, I don't remember, but it just didn't hit me as exciting or really anything. I ate it, it was okay, didn't taste bad, just BLAH! Please let me know if you eat here and enjoy it, what am I doing wrong?
