What hurts me the most is how in a day and age the majority of our communities want political correctness and equality yet you still have the nerve to call a Gyro a Gie-ro... (G)year-o not Giiiiro..
These guys are incredible. During the COVID crisis they delivered and donated food to my hospital in NYC. I will never forget their generosity. God Bless you all.
Last year I went to New york with my boyfriend, and we were tight with money. We found a halal cart on the third day and instantly fell in love with the flavor and price. Every night we would choose a dish and felt incredibly sattisfied. Thanks to this wonderful and affordable food, we were able to save tons of money to enjoy New york even more! greetings from Spain!
It's not just the food that is great. This combined with their amazing work ethic, the way they interact with their customers in such a kind manner is what makes them phenomenal. Encourages multiple visits.
I owned a bagel store for 20 years. This brings back so many great memories. Early mornings, working every weekend, great employees, great customers, a real sense of family and community. He has a passion for his craft and his employees love and respect him. Love seeing small businesses thrive.
When I saw the taxi drivers it reminded me of my previous job when I used to be a postman for the court of appeals I used to work from 7 a.m to 7 p.m the legal time for delivering posts , now I work as an administrative coordinator in the office & although salary is higher & with less hours but not as passionate as when I used to drive & deliver & grab some of the street food & sometimes stay at a cafe a little bit with an adequate salary although it's less. But man I really feel you working at weekends now, it's unusual.
@@PedroPerez-bk5gg habibi means "my lovely, beloved, sweetheart, something like that". this word usually used by any wife to call her husband (the last letter "i" in habibi refers to ownership and male), but yeah some diversification makes it a bit normal to call for usual bro greetings. but never call a girl habibi I guess :)
I remember I was drunk off my ass with my friends in Queens. We found a Halal Guys truck. I ate the chicken and gyro platter. Instant sobriety. I was incredibly in love
I m from India yesterday I was in nyc after a long and beautiful tour of city we went to taste chicken over rice and gairo really my experience is very good and delightful I love it thank you halal guys best of luck 🤞
I tried these guys when I went to America both times! It was so difficult to find halaal affordable food in America & these guys had thee best food I’ve ever had! It’s a place I never forgot!
@@prdigy1466 nah it's true, while some people might not follow it it's literally written in the quran that it's not allowed to water down their stuff and sell it for the same price since that's scamming and lying

IMO there are better middle eastern/ kebab shops all over London that are cheaper too. I'm sure the stalls in NYC are great but the quality wasn't to the standard of other places I've been to in London.
The best food I ate when I went to New York. I'm so glad they have em in Houston too, but nothing beats the taste you get from the food cart from the streets of New York
I had both the chicken plate and gyro for the first time a few days ago. It was 🔥🔥 And I literally ate right at that same bench off to the side of the stall. For a first timer visiting NYC. It’s a definite must try! Gave it the double shakas 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I tried it here in Canada and it's really really really good, both the chicken and the gyro. The white sauce is phenomenal. The hot sauce is insanely hot so unless you're used to eating next level spicy, don't try it.
When I was in NY, I happened to see people waiting in super long lines on the street. Those were for Halal guys. And yes! It was worth waiting in line 😋
Unfortunately my sister and I didn't have the greatest experience a few years ago... the food was as amazing as advertised, but the guy was super rude to us. Gave us attitude when we wanted extra sauce I think cuz we were clearly Indian, cuz he was perfectly nice to the East Asian girl right after us. The spicy sauce is no joke; we were NOT warned how spicy it is, and I had to find the nearest toilet in Rockefeller Center not long after, haha.
My first time in nyc I stayed at the hotel across the street. One of my favorite food experiences of my life. Every time I visit nyc, I go back to the original even if I’m staying in Brooklyn or far away. Love it. One of the times, I saved a whole platter of chicken from falling off the grill and they gave me free food when I visited the next few times, for saving it, because they remembered me :)
One of their trucks was stationed across from my former college. We had a 30 minute lunch period. By the time you waited for the elevator to come, lunch was nearly over, so halal food was our go to. Their truck fed my classmates almost daily, for the entirety of our program, right up until our graduation. #Memories
This brings a lot of memories of me going to the halal guys.The white sauce is- unexplainable.If I ever get a chance to visit the halal guys I'd buy 3 of the dish.
@@tahamohammad1741 have you been there before? Because it definitely tastes like Mayo. I’m not saying the article is right about the recipe but I’ve had both yogurt and Mayo based sauces before and I can say it tastes like Mayo.

Fell in love with the Halal Guys back in the 2014. First time in NYC and while I was looking any of the popular hot dogs, found the Halal cart at the 54th and bum !! 😍😍
They do have BBQ sauce in their restaurant locations just not in their orginal street location. But people will still prefer the white and the hot sauce
"But in New York, many people know halal as the affordable food they can find at many street carts across the city." - ngl this is problematic. Halal should only mean what it means in Arabic. If it takes on a new meaning, that's not fair to Muslims who are looking for actual halal food. It's like calling something that's not vegan "vegan" or calling something that's not gluten free "gluten free"
agreed, like adam ragusea video on how to pronounce food name. the meaning of a name should be as the same (or similar) as the intention of the one who created the name. unless it's totally came out from something really different that just spelled similar. such as french for bread is pain (idk any examples 😅)
I remember when they were smaller, my dad and I would drive there and wait hours in the line in the cold harsh winter of New York City. I wish I could go back
I live in Toronto, and like 4 years ago we got our own Halal guys. I remember I went there on the 3rd day of opening. Honestly lots of people mainly students lined up for it. I was pretty disappointed because it was overpriced and the quality and quantity of the food didn’t represent America’s halal guys. Hopefully post covid, I will go to nyc and have halal guys.
Remember, when you’re running a cart you barely have any bills such as rent, electricity, and other bills that go with a brick and mortar store. So, in order to make up for the costs, prices have to be adjusted.
Have one here in Rockville Maryland. First time trying it I ordered the platter with white sauce and 2 lines of red sauce. The man pouring the sauce looked at me an said are you sure I said yes. First time I ate it I immediately started sweating and an was in so much pain. Later I was in even more pain when I had to go to the bathroom. I just stick to the white sauce now.
Hey here's a tip! Do the White sauce and just do tiny dots of the red sauce I just buy the packets. That way it's evenly distributed it's when it's a lot that it's impossible to eat because it's so hot. Got the red sauce makes it super delicious as long as it's just tiny bits of it. That's for me. But my husband loves spicy so he goes to town with it.
I literally just visited the one in Rockville off Rockville Pike! The one next to Food lion and Chipotle right?? What a small world hahahaha. Apparently, the Halal Guys in NYC is even better.
I've been visiting Halal Guys in NYC since 1996 or so, so I have a certain expectation when it comes to my Gyro and let me tell you .. the Rockville, MD location (closest to me currently) disappointed severely. The biggest let down was that they don't cut fresh from the spit like in NYC. It's precut and stored in bins where the flavor is lost forever. That and they refused to cook green peppers and onions with my meat. Also, the franchises serve the white sauce in packets. Not a compete loss there, but you do miss that feel from the bottle. I think the chain restaurants could do a little better in accommodating those who know exactly what an authentic 53rd & 6th gyro tastes like.
Same, back when there weren't many halal food places around, my family would drive 40 mins from the suburbs just to go to Halal Bros location in downtown Chicago. Best quality, insanely flavoured gyro meat ever.
The first time I was recommended to try Halal Guys, I was skeptical. Growing up in a country with a lot of "better then thou" muslims, I wasn't too keen to visit another muslim joint now in the US. However when I walked in, the hospitality was what hit me first. Even though the store was busy, the store manager still took the time to chat with us. Finding out where we were from he greeted us in arabic and I could respond. This shocked me because it was a big no no in my country and was severely frowned on if you are not a muslim. Then it was time to eat. Since covid I had to leave the US and I can say one of the only foods I miss so badly is Halal Guys. So good
Being from Ottawa, I go to NYC a lot and every time I have this habit of going to Halal Guys. It’s just so good. To bad the U.S and Canada border is closed, when it opens, I’m definitely trotting down to New York City, it’s just a 7 hour drive, so nothing is better than a trip to the Big Apple.
That guy is nice and friendly, saying "it is just called white sauce" to a nice lady. I really love to see friendly people on earth. And the food looks so delicious. Wish one day I can visit NYC.
As someone who enjoyed eating spicy food, I ate halal guys with the hot sauce while visiting NYC, and my mouth was legit burning 😭I didn’t know the Scoville rating was around 100,000-130,000 😭 but the food was gooood! The meal was well balanced with the meat, rice, vegetables and sauce 💚 love from the Philippines!
@@mrfodee834 If you think walking over to get a chicken platter outside, in the fresh air, is going to kill you, then you should stay hiding under your bed for the rest of your life.
I had them when I went to NYC back in 2016. Came back to Bay area and was stoked to see one in San Jose. Now there's more in Fremont and Santa Clara too. I go once a month. Extra white sauce.
@@plutonyx Bill gates donated MUCH MUCH more money and actually contributed to humanity with useful technologies and I dont see him getting that appreciation. While someone who earns millions just by singing and entertaining people is idolized. Its just fangirling at this point. Many engineers and doctors spend day and night trying to improve our lives but in the end who takes most credit for our happiness? Some Korean who sings. Humanity is pathetic these days.
I recognize that exact cart! Right across from the Hilton hotel; I stayed there on my last trip to NYC and my mom and I got combo platters from that cart! So good 😊
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
I miss this! They closed the branches here in the Philippines. I would definitely get a sampler platter again: yellow rice, beef gyro, lettuce, tomatoes, 2 pcs. soft pita bread, falafel, lots a white sauce & a bit of red spicy sauce. 😍🤩✨
Wasn't surprised, local franchise didn't listen to the valid complaints of their customers. They were charging NYC prices but serving less meat and the rice wasn't even basmati. I've tasted better food than the manila franchise

I’m from New York in the Bronx Everytime I go out doing stuff I would buy this for dinner and it hits different after a long day
This person who is doing the voice-over has a heavenly voice.
We call these people "White Women" 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
@@ulquiorra3104 uhh not only white women can have a nice voice.lol

And cannot pronunce Gyro properly.
Have one here in Rockville Maryland. First time trying it I ordered the platter with white sauce and 2 lines of red sauce. The man pouring the sauce looked at me an said are you sure I said yes. First time I ate it I immediately started sweating and an was in so much pain. Later I was in even more pain when I had to go to the bathroom. I just stick to the white sauce now.
Hey here's a tip! Do the White sauce and just do tiny dots of the red sauce I just buy the packets. That way it's evenly distributed it's when it's a lot that it's impossible to eat because it's so hot. Got the red sauce makes it super delicious as long as it's just tiny bits of it. That's for me. But my husband loves spicy so he goes to town with it.
I literally just visited the one in Rockville off Rockville Pike! The one next to Food lion and Chipotle right?? What a small world hahahaha. Apparently, the Halal Guys in NYC is even better.
I miss that Halal guys before covid. Before, you could just grab the sauce bottles from the mini fridge and pour as many as you like.
I've been visiting Halal Guys in NYC since 1996 or so, so I have a certain expectation when it comes to my Gyro and let me tell you .. the Rockville, MD location (closest to me currently) disappointed severely. The biggest let down was that they don't cut fresh from the spit like in NYC. It's precut and stored in bins where the flavor is lost forever. That and they refused to cook green peppers and onions with my meat. Also, the franchises serve the white sauce in packets. Not a compete loss there, but you do miss that feel from the bottle. I think the chain restaurants could do a little better in accommodating those who know exactly what an authentic 53rd & 6th gyro tastes like.
The Halal guys here in Maryland Fuckin SUCKS!!! Lol
Fun fact: this is not the first time you’ve watched this if you love the platter and don’t live in New York.
THE WORD ' HALAL' DOESN'T MEAN BUTCHERING MEAT IN A SPECIFIC WAY. Halal mean everything that is permissible for muslims.
Calm down
Quran 9:29 is wajib
When i lived in Chicago, this is one of my staples. IT'S SO GOOD BELIEVE ME
Same, back when there weren't many halal food places around, my family would drive 40 mins from the suburbs just to go to Halal Bros location in downtown Chicago. Best quality, insanely flavoured gyro meat ever.
@@mariyam9861 Nick's Gyros!!!!
Server: ''white sauce all over?''
Guy: ''Yeah, all over the chicken'' ::points to chicken only::
Server: ''okay'' ::pours it all over everything::"
I noticed that too 😂
pervert ahahahhahaa
Hugo Reinhard i don’t think he meant it that way but holy shit your comment made me realized that this comment could turn into something else hehehe
CUMMMMM
@@rumanaferdous215 you had to say it, don't you?
I get this every day going or coming back from school. Dude blesses the food for only $3.
damn nyc is insane
3 dollars? I think you mean $9.
Halal guys is my favorite . Every time I eat it brings me joy . I eat 2 platters every time
I was so happy to hear 1-2 years ago they opened a location in Toronto, Canada !! I go there as much as I can !! so addicting!
i remember ordering this so much during the first NYC lockdown, it was amazing !!
Had it in Chicago, it’s really good and the white sauce is legit 👍
my local spot here in NYC i get the reg gyro with maybe the same "white sauce" or sum but god damn it good lmao
legit is delicious
they're opening a restaurant near me
The first time I was recommended to try Halal Guys, I was skeptical. Growing up in a country with a lot of "better then thou" muslims, I wasn't too keen to visit another muslim joint now in the US. However when I walked in, the hospitality was what hit me first. Even though the store was busy, the store manager still took the time to chat with us. Finding out where we were from he greeted us in arabic and I could respond. This shocked me because it was a big no no in my country and was severely frowned on if you are not a muslim. Then it was time to eat. Since covid I had to leave the US and I can say one of the only foods I miss so badly is Halal Guys. So good
You will go there again and try soon
Provide context or you're lying
The tastiest food I ever had in NYC... Absolute bliss 😍
Being from Ottawa, I go to NYC a lot and every time I have this habit of going to Halal Guys. It’s just so good. To bad the U.S and Canada border is closed, when it opens, I’m definitely trotting down to New York City, it’s just a 7 hour drive, so nothing is better than a trip to the Big Apple.
its in toronto tho
" Alhamdulillah " say after eating Halal.....💕
Had this for the first time in Aurora, Colorado last week and MAN I am obsessed. The hour drive from my house to Denver is well worth it for this.
Thankfully now we have this in Dearborn, Michigan. Only 30 mins from my home & yesterday I had it and it brought back those NY memories back 😘
That guy is nice and friendly, saying "it is just called white sauce" to a nice lady. I really love to see friendly people on earth. And the food looks so delicious. Wish one day I can visit NYC.
I could eat that every day for a year and never get tired of it deadass...looks so good 🤤
As someone who enjoyed eating spicy food, I ate halal guys with the hot sauce while visiting NYC, and my mouth was legit burning 😭I didn’t know the Scoville rating was around 100,000-130,000 😭 but the food was gooood! The meal was well balanced with the meat, rice, vegetables and sauce 💚 love from the Philippines!
Hopefully when Covid is over will be getting and ordering a meal from them.
2023 is not that far, good luck
Why would you wait until Covid is over? Just walk over there and order a platter.
3028 is not that long have patience bro
@@cdcaleo"why wait for death to came forth when you can just go to it"
@@mrfodee834 If you think walking over to get a chicken platter outside, in the fresh air, is going to kill you, then you should stay hiding under your bed for the rest of your life.
Finally, something that I can finally eat!!! Thank you Food Insider on behalf of all Muslims!!!!!!!!
God bless they're still on delivery 😭😭♥️♥️
for real? please say a genuine thanks etc (not saying you don't but) "common" courtesy amazing enough ain't you know...
M4TT YN what
I didn’t finish college, but Halal guys were there when you need food quickly and so good! So freaking good!
3:47 I feel bad for the guy who didn't know there was barbecue
My man is not Gona waste time.. he definitely tried it after the video shoot.. 😂
@@sanjivinsmoke2719 yes lol😂😂😂
I had them when I went to NYC back in 2016. Came back to Bay area and was stoked to see one in San Jose. Now there's more in Fremont and Santa Clara too. I go once a month. Extra white sauce.
Damn, even the man Jin himself?? These guys must be legit.
For God sake stop glorifying those people.
I wonder what he did to humanity for all the idolization he is recieving?
Ammar Okla Chill. It’s not that deep.
Ammar Okla bruh chill it’s not that deep 🧍🏻♀️
Ammar Okla donated alot and made music which inspired people to love themselves?
@@plutonyx Bill gates donated MUCH MUCH more money and actually contributed to humanity with useful technologies and I dont see him getting that appreciation.
While someone who earns millions just by singing and entertaining people is idolized.
Its just fangirling at this point.
Many engineers and doctors spend day and night trying to improve our lives but in the end who takes most credit for our happiness?
Some Korean who sings.
Humanity is pathetic these days.
Muslim Guys Are Too Friendly And Kind♥️
I recognize that exact cart! Right across from the Hilton hotel; I stayed there on my last trip to NYC and my mom and I got combo platters from that cart! So good 😊
5:26 even the pigeon is going to order
😂
lol
Currently eating at their location in Arlington, Texas...
How is the taste ?
@@randomvideos5744 "tasthte"
Try New York Eats in Arlington. Same stuff. It’s near the University of Texas. I find it savory too. Maybe sometimes better. Highly recommended.
@@randomvideos5744 amazing
@@mylifemyrulezzz is it halal tho?
They opened one up in houston, which has a pretty heavy Mediterranean food market. I can say halal guys is the best
Mouth is watering right now. Food looks so delicious 😋🤤.
I’m literally eating this right now lol
I love a lot of the red/hot sauce on mine! I love really spicy foods 😋
wait, how did you manage to get this food ?? how can you eat the red sauce ?
i always come back to this when i eat... seeing how that chicken and beef cook is amazing i feel that its actually the food im eating lol
Halal Guys were a life saver for me when I was in NewYork. Great Halal food at a budget
Plankton will soon find out the secret ingredient of this delicious food.
I'm not even sure he finally got the ingredients needed for the patty
Why would I try to steal the recipe when he already prepared it
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
3:49 LMAOOOO I CANT STOP LAUGHINGGGG
This is what I miss about NYC. So good.
I miss this! They closed the branches here in the Philippines. I would definitely get a sampler platter again: yellow rice, beef gyro, lettuce, tomatoes, 2 pcs. soft pita bread, falafel, lots a white sauce & a bit of red spicy sauce. 😍🤩✨
Wasn't surprised, local franchise didn't listen to the valid complaints of their customers. They were charging NYC prices but serving less meat and the rice wasn't even basmati. I've tasted better food than the manila franchise
This is why i love America. We got hallal food in new york and here in cali we got the best tacos homie. We got hella delicious food
That’s why muslims always happy
I just laugh when they tell me it's spicy and ask for extra red sauce. Love them!
