Rumors about the iconic NYC staple food cart coming here to the Philippines spread around November last year when their “Cooking Soon” sign was seen in one of the spaces at the SM Mega Fashion Food Hall.<\/p>\n\n

The Halal Guys was founded by Mohamed Abouelenein, Ahmed Elsaka, and Abdelbaset Elsayed in New York back in 1990. Not long after they opened their hotdog cart, they realized there were just too many of them competing.\u00a0Little did they know that their move towards being different and serving halal food would be the beginning of their New York success story.<\/p>\n

Halal\u00a0|h\u0259\u02c8l\u00e4l, h\u0259\u02c8lal| <\/span>adjective :\u00a0<\/span>denoting or relating to meat prepared as prescribed by Muslim law.<\/span><\/pre>\n
Their bright red and yellow umbrellas and flags quickly caught\u00a0the attention and interest of\u00a0New Yorkers and soon\u00a0long queues started\u00a0to form. Everybody was more than willing to line for hours just to\u00a0see what the buzz is all about, and the rest, they say, is history.<\/p>\n
Because of their growing popularity, other food carts tried to imitate and ride on their fame, but didn’t seem to catch on to their already\u00a0loyal patrons, as evidenced by block-long\u00a0lines\u00a0from dusk ’til dawn. If you’re ever in New York, this should probably be in your list of things to experience in the city.<\/p>\n

The Halal Guys hops from one NYC corner to the next daily.\u00a0Too bad we won’t be experiencing the same NYC outdoor takeout feel that the brand originally created,\u00a0but nevertheless, we will be experiencing the same ginormous platters and thick wraps\u00a0that they are most famous for.<\/p>\n
Their bestsellers are the chicken and gyro platters<\/strong>.\u00a0The famous platter is composed of gyro or chicken (or a combination of both), rice, iceberg lettuce, slices of pita bread, and their savory white sauce and\/or red sauce–all in substantial amounts that will surely fill your tummies.<\/p>\n
