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.

Super disappointed with this Halal Guys. The food and service quality has gone way downhill. First off, the lady who seemed to be the manager had a bad attitude and zero energy. I was the only customer in there, and now I see why it was empty. Secondly, I asked for my white and BBQ sauce on the side got tiny cups and hardly any BBQ in there. The lettuce was big chunks of romaine that tasted spoiled, and the whole platter looked horrible. I’ve been coming here for years since I live five minutes away, but it’s not the same anymore. Thankfully I used my points for a free platter, because if I paid for that meal, I’d be furious instead of just disappointed. Also didn’t even receive a receipt. Unfortunately I will not be returning there again, instead I will opt out for another option for dinner.
