The Halal Guys’ Chicken And Gyro Platter Is NYC’s Most Legendary Street Food | Legendary Eats



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.

  30. There is a couple in Texas. I have eaten at the one in Frisco, Plano and Austin. It is really my go to when I have a craving for halal or mediteranean food.

  31. 'Halal is refered to as affordable street food from carts’ imagine you are Muslim who has just visited New York City. You see a place with halal in the name but find out it’s not actually halal. That’s probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard, why don’t you just stick to the Arabic meaning so you don’t confuse the hell out of people?

  32. “GYRO”, “GYRO” please learn how to say it correctly! It’s like listening to someone from Iowa that has no idea of ethnic food; talk about food.

    -There are many secrets and treasures in our Arab culture and the religion of Islam, but 99% of the world's population do not know the truth because of the racism and hatred of organizations that control the media and governments, such as illuminatis (Freemasonry), Jewish Zionism, hatred and crusaders.
    The aim is that the world's population does not know the truth so that does not convert to religion Islam Sunnah
