HOUSTON — The Halal Guys began its journey in 1990 with its three Egyptian founders. They first started a hot dog cart in New York City. Then they pivoted to providing halal food to Muslim taxi drivers who had few authentic halal food outlets. Thus, their famous platters of chicken and gyro over rice, falafel sandwiches, and crave-able sauces were born.

The news about their fantastic food spread from the Muslim cabbies, and their customers’ demographic quickly expanded to a larger and more diverse group of Americans wanting to experience new and exotic tastes, textures, and flavors. The demand for fresh and flavorful food, in the end, motivated them to bring their food to a broader audience.

The Halal Guys’ feature a flavor profile that no competitors can duplicate in any other cuisine format. Their flawlessly cooked and premium quality halal meats seasoned to perfection are a combination of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors in a bowl. Having achieved success in their original location, The Halal Guys’ opened in several locations across the country, including Houston. You can find them at 3821 Farnham St.

Now, enough with their history. Below are the reasons why the Halal guys is the best joint in Houston!

“If you haven’t had halal guys, you MUST. Consistent, amazing service.. Just like the original in NY. This location is new and clean, fellas are super friendly. They wear face shields and masks and are extra safe with regards to covid. Again.... A MUST,” said Daniel C. on Yelp.

3. Good price

If you’re looking for halal food that won’t break the bank, they’ve certainly got it, but don’t take it from us. See how happy their customers are, we’ll give you a sample review:

“Find The Halal Guys! Look for red and yellow. DON’T GET FOOLED BY THE IMITATORS! You’ll have to wait in a long yet efficient and quick line for a jam packed to go container of chicken and rice (or gyro/lamb and rice) - with white sauce and (HOT!) hot sauce. The husband and I are both BIG eaters, but it worked out best to share... one per person would be a little overkill and heavy - but hey, it’s so cheap and good that why not just go with one per person?” Jen2009 wrote on Tripadvisor.

Great food? Check. Great service? Check. Great price? Check. These are the simple reasons why The Halal Guys is the best. They are simply the best halal joint in the whole country and Houston. So, if you’re in the mood to stuff yourself with some authentic gyro, don’t forget to pay them a visit.
