The Halal Guys

On most corners of the City, you can find street vendors selling assortments of pastries, drinks and food of differing ethnicities. Many food trucks found on the streets of New York offer halal food. (Halal food is considered food that is permissible for Muslims to eat under Islamic law, which must be prepared under certain criteria.)

The Halal Guys food truck is hands down the best halal truck in the City. Situated on the corner of 53rd and Sixth Avenue (Near the MoMa), The Halal Guys attracts thousands of customers each day. Because of the high demand for such delicious, cheap food, lines can be long. Don’t let the long lines dissuade you!

Customers can choose from pitas or platters filled with either chicken, gyro or falafel. Pitas are smaller and cost five dollars, while larger platters cost seven dollars. Whether looking for a hearty lunch or dinner option, or simply an on-the-go meal, The Halal Guys will not disappoint.
