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 tasted the halal guy's food at their original cart in New York 15 years ago for the first time and fell in love with it. Tried their food in Las Vegas ,Orlando , Spring and many other places. This location is worst of all. Went there couple of days ago for the second time and decided never to put my feet again inside this store. The platter I ordered has undercooked rice with minimal chicken. Lots of lettuce and tomatoes and instead of handing over white sauce and hot sauce packets(always got 2 packets of white sauce and 1 packet of hot sauce for 1 platter order at all other places without asking) was asked how much white sauce i need to be squeezed out of a bottle. They charge everything extra even for a piece of bread. I suggest to all to go to Spring location instead of this Farnham location.

Definitely good gyros - but skimpy on the meat.

Good food, i have tried both chicken as well as beef over rice. The white sauce is amazing. I The red sauce is REALLY spicy, i have seen people ordering more than the recommended and then regretting it. The servers are nice enough to let you know about it being really hot.

Long lines, Average food at best. Too much hype for no reason. Plenty of other (and much better) choices around town to satiate your palate.

Halal guys is a great quick and affordable stop for delicious food. I really like the portion sizes and service. The inside has some seating, but I definitely prefer getting the food to go. Highly recommend for a fast casual meal :)

First time visiting this restaurant. Parking is ample. Access is fairly easy of your coming from the Shepherd side. Received a friendly welcome. Took the special, a Platter with three items: beef, rice and lettuce and tomato, a small scoop of hummus and three little pita triangles. $9.99 and the quantity was good. Verdict: The food is delicious. It tastes clean, without added funky seasonings. I have a very sensitive stomach, and it was perfectly happy afterwards, as the food didn't cause any discomfort. Bottle drinks are pricey. Pet peeve: There is an outside toilet. I was at the restaurant about 40 minutes. I tried to use it several times, and the door was always locked. I knocked no answer. I think management should install a second toilet or at least check on the person (anything can happen). I will eat again at the Halal Guys as I found the food delicious.

I think I may have just found my staple halal place! Although this restaurant is stationed like a grab n go, there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating! I love that it’s handicap accessible and kid friendly. The interior is designed tastefully and outgoing wall art bright bubbly colors and artfully crafted seating tables. The food!!! Don’t get me started on the food! Marinated overnight, you tasted some of the juiciest chicken and beef over top of perfected cooked rice! They will ask you if you want spice, sauces, and bbq sauce! You will say yes to all of these! Sit back, eat, relax and enjoy the wonderful flavors of roasted peppercorn, and a variety of spices! The staff was very helpful and actually recommended that I get the combination plate with all the fixings and toppings. They were not wrong!

Extremely impressed with this location.! We places an order on 9/27 around 11am. I had 11 items in my order, The staff was kind enough to label the meals. It made things so much smoother for my team to look for their meals during lunch time. Not to mention the Quality, and Quantity of the food for their great prices. The food was very filing. All the plates were divided. The sandwiches, the sauces everything was separated and organized. The staff was extremely nice, and attentive. Thank you for making this a great experience for my team, and myself ! We will be ordering from you guys soon !
