The Halal Guys first came to the streets of New York City in 1990, when the three founders opened up a hot-dog cart in Midtown. They realized there was a demand from Muslim cab drivers looking for a halal meal, so they began serving American halal food from the cart. The Arabic term halal means ‘lawful’ and is often used in Islam to describe meat that is permissible to eat based on specific religious guidelines. But in New York, many people know halal as the affordable food they can find at many street carts across the city. At The Halal Guys’ original cart on 53rd Street and 6th Avenue, people wait in line for the iconic combo platter, a foil dish packed with chicken and gyro over rice, accompanied by lettuce, tomato, pita, and the famous and secret red and white sauces.
Editor’s Note: This episode was filmed in January 2020. The Halal Guys’ carts in New York City are currently open for takeout while restaurant locations provide both takeout and delivery. Check with your nearest location for details.

The Halal Guys’ Chicken And Gyro Platter Is NYC’s Most Legendary Street Food | Legendary Eats
I was in new york for 1 week back in 2014 … and i had them every single days lunch and dinner sometimes my hubby had to stand in line for 1and half hours to get them but it was all worth it
Halal becomes Haram when u combine halal chicken with haram pork gyros. or is that beef ? in gyros style ? dunno i would refer it as a döner not gyros cause im from berlin. for me döner is OG and gyros a cheap copie from the greek.

Katz's Delicatessen is another Legendary Eats spot in NYC. Watch our video on the 132-year-old deli here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBPD6pMYZug
Am I the only who doesn’t like their rice? Everything else is okay. Good prices for a lot of food
I wanna have the vegeration player with white sauce and red sauce 🙁
@konkonadatta
These journalist suck at pronounciating food related words, "gairo" wtf is that? Its called "Gy ro", Gjy ros, im not even greek, but cmon.
911 isn't the name. More like chernobyl, three mile island, combined nuclear 20 alarm fire…your mouth burns for days afterwards.
Since it's Halal, then it's Shawerma not Gyro, although both are similar. Also, please pronounce "Gyro" correctly. Otherwise great video 👍🏼
Its pretty crazy not to mention how they have multiple brick and mortar stores up and down the North Eastern corridor (DC to Boston)
The beef gyro – secret ingds.
The chicken – secret ingds,
The White sauce – secret ingds.
Secret ingds – MSG or chicken powder.
their branches in the philippines are all closed now 😔
Mashallah!!!
i cackled when i saw jin 😭😂🥰
Dönerteller!
Halal literally means permitted or permissible.

THEBTRUTH!
The uppity wire pathomorphologically curl because weed literally pinch at a quack pendulum. grouchy, delicate chick
We indians are everywhere!!!! Is that depressing????
They better have this in Heaven
Sorry to say but the food don’t look good. Why use processed meat when you can make a lovely marinated shawarma instead.
You like a the juice, eh?
It's been a min since i had any… anyone delivering to Detroit🤔🤤
Crazy how they let you film them, but Halal Guys at this location rejected China Mac from filming when he was doing his review. Look it up.
شدراكم انتو.
هذا اسمه شاورما تاكل منه ما تشبع 😋
When you visit New York and miss out on all this food -_-

I never tried halal guys but still know how it tastes like maybe i just tried too many rice and meat combos idk
the accurate representation of Muslims❤
food lovers
Big dislike for the "Halal" sh**
It’s 2am, half across the world, in lockdown and i’m hungry for this super plate of delicious food!!
taxi idea is a big one . you can order taxi from halah guys to your house lol .. 6d chess
I feel like the white sauce is what they use at most hibachi restaurants
I really wanna try that
QUICK TIP: Shawarma, Doner and Gyro are different names for the same food. The original is Doner invented during the Great Ottoman Empire.
Muslim food is the best food 😊 no competition
They look after tge cab driver.. oh .. noble 👍
