The Halal Guys

If you do something well , here is the result. We have waited half an hour to taste and enjoyed a lot. Hot sauce is really hot, be careful and have the white sauce as much as possible.

Lamb Gyro platter without the rice or salad is what I get. HOT sauce is really HOT. Don't try to be a hero. Go crazy with the white sauce though. Always buy one extra for the next day!

The best Halal cart in NYC hands down. To those of you who think its 53rd and 6th your sadly mistaken. 52nd and 6th is where its at. The meat is more tender and theres no bones in it. Simply amazing.

If you can take 10-15 min to hit up Jackson Heights for Sammy's halal (vendy award winner) or 6th & west 4th outpost, seriously so much better. More flavorful & so worth it. Ask for the green sauce !

Office workers and tourists alike line up day and night for the combo over rice at Halal Guys. You feel like a beast finishing one of these tubs of meat, rice , and tangy white sauce . Read more

They are the only halal guys where you will get exactly what you paid for. You can put your own hot sauce and white sauce on your food instead of having someone else do it. A New York staple.

One of the best street foods you'll find in NYC! Trust me, it's worth the wait.

A staple in the NYC food scene, The Halal Guys has taken Food Carts and Halal Food to the next level, legendary status! There's always a long line in this location but it's worth every waiting minute

After serving hungry crowds in Midtown for the last 25 years, these guys have gotten so popular, they’re opening restaurants and carts all over the country . You’re welcome, America. You’re welcome. Read more

Don't miss the beer gyro and chicken and rice . Don't worry about the line , it moves fast. Also look across the streer, there are two cart, both from the same place. :-) Bring CASH , and an appetite.

Combo, extra pita , no salad . A ton of White sauce + BBQ sauce + a sprinkle of hot sauce . So good for reheating for breakfast too!

10:1. The optimal ratio of white sauce to red sauce . The white sauce is that delicious. The red sauce is that spicy . And for a winner: get 1/2 lamb 1/2 chicken over rice . You're welcome..

I like the one of the northeast corner who allow you to put on your own sauces (so much extra white sauce ). Definitely get a side of falafel as well . Great NYC experience.

Food is delicious and affordable😍. The combo over the rice 👌🏻. The "hot sauce " is realllllly HOT 🔥

Definitely a good choice for the first time Halal Food experience. Get a combo(chicken&lamb) over rice ! One order of a rice dish could feed two people. BBQ sauce is essential. Cash only !

Sooooooooo good. I dream about their lamb gyro . The white sauce is amazing (and I usually don't like white sauce from other carts), but the hot sauce is terrifyingly hot.

Ah yes the original Halal guys, what more do you expect than perfection? They know how to make killer halal, and the sauces are out of this world!! Shredded halal is the key!

If you go during prime dining hours, you can expect to wait in line . But the line moves fast. Best halal in town . I like to mix the white sauce with BBQ sauce for extra punch

The famous gyro stand in NYC. People from all around US, and the world come to taste their excellent big portioned rice . They are very quick but accept only cash . I lovw their chicken over rice .

Got the mixed rice twice in a week! So good! Be careful not to put too much hot sauce though, it's super spicy and this is coming from someone who can take spicy

Caution: the pepper sauce is waaay too strong! I put a few drops and got nearly-dead. That being said, just buy your choice and sit nearby to eat it. The chicken over rice is great and comes in tons!

Make sure to get white sauce ! Remember you add the sauce yourself. So, get your combo, add sauce on top, mix your order and pour more sauce!

What began as a humble cart in Midtown is now available all over the world. See the stand where it all started and get the gyro platter . Extra sauce, please. Read more

Best Street Meat in NYC, hands down Yogurt and hot sauce are a must! Some will even sell the hot sauce by the bottle. Watch out for impostors! (The real deal are in yellow shirts that say "Halal Guys"

If you're like me and don't usually believe the hype, trust me - this is well worth it. The food is fucking amazing. 6$ could easily feed 2 people and a small girl. Tip: don't go easy on the sauce.

The best street food ! Love the experience! Do not underestimate the hot sauce !

If you are here because you are drunk, and your friends tell you to take a shot of the hot sauce for five bucks, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY DO IT.

Gyro sandwich was super tasty, filling and only 5 bucks. Plus, they're really efficient and the long line moves quickly.

Excellent street food ! Be sure to load up on extra sauce.

The Halal Guys have established themselves as one of the "staple" food to try in NY. Provides cheap , easy and delicious meal.

Multiple stations ensure that food is always available. Long lines encourage as to quality--they move quickly tho. Food is great! Sandwiches or plates--either way you can't go wrong!

Chicken over rice is delicious, ask for more salad though! Careful with the red hot sauce , it is VERY hot (but good, so add more white sauce to balance it out!)

Standing in the long line is part of the experience. If you are a first timer or taking someone there for first time....do it. Don't go crazy with hot sauce but definitely try the white sauce .

Know what you want before you get in line ! It's like that episode of the soup nazi. They'll be annoyed if you hesitate :) Theres also 3 carts now all around the same area!

Best Halal food you can get. I didn't even know what it was but it's delicious. Their red sauce is no joke if you can handle it spicy . A must hit food cart in NYC.

Best street meat in the city ...the sauce is the star, but for the money there's nothing better than a mixed platter. Must stop when in NYC prepare for long lines

$4 for mixed meat sandwich & $10 for mixed meat over rice which comes w/ slices of pita bread . Ask for both white and red sauce and small containers to go. Best $10 spent and there was no line at 4p!

Got the chicken and lamb over rice with extra white sauce and hot sauce . It truly is only $6!!! Really good cheap eats in NY! Glad I tried it.

$4 buys you a stuffed pita filled with chicken and/or lamb plus salad , with generous squirts of incendiary red sauce and addictive white "Valhalla Sauce." Upgrade to the platter for another $1 or $2. Read more

The Three-Finger Gimme:When the guy looks at you with a "What would you like today?" face, tell him what you want AND pay him asap. If he has to double motion, he AND everyone on line will be annoyed.

If you know any better, you'll know the carts are all the same & if you're at the original with the Godforsaken longest line you're either: 1) A sucker 2) A tourist . Go across the street or on 52nd ✌️

Best place to go to for little or no lines . I avoid the other location on 53rd & 6th since there can be a line during lunch . Make sure the cart and the shirts the cooks are wearing say The Halal Guys.

Best drunk food EVER! It's great! There's actually two other stands beside the original one which are own by the same owner so you don't have to wait in the ridiculously long line .

This is an awesome food stall . The portion they give you is huge! Be sure to drench it in white sauce and only use the red if you like things extremely spicy .

The DIY sauce station is a minefield. The red sauce is REALLY hot. If you do like I do, and cover the top of your plate with red sauce , you are seriously going to be screwed. Go easy!

It's definitely worth the wait in line for this reasonably priced bowl of chicken and rice goodness! The ranch sauce to top it off perfects the dish.

It's good if you have a late night craving .. otherwise NY have tons of good restaurants that you can set and enjoy a meal.

Money Matters! Bring cash and have it OUT and READY, including money for a drink if you want it.

The perpetual lines outside the carts might look intimidating, but the experienced pros at the flat top keep it moving quickly so you won't spend your entire lunch break in the queue. Read more

There are so many better other "chicken and rice " spots in the city , avoid this hype of once a great cart now a factory spot. Cooking everything in bulk with very little care of attention to details.
