In the heart of New York City's bustling streets, a culinary revolution was brewing in the 1990s. Three Egyptian immigrants set up a humble food cart to share their mouthwatering flavors and authentic dishes with the world. Little did they know that this venture would transform into a global success story, leading to The Halal Guys' expansion across the United States, Asia, the United Kingdom, and now, with great anticipation, to Vancouver, Canada.

Where it all began

It all started with a simple food cart, where they served up their iconic falafel, chicken, and gyros along with a signature white sauce, to eager New Yorkers looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal.

Standing out with a street-friendly menu

The Halal Guys' offerings extend far beyond the traditional food cart fare. While their sandwiches and platters have become legendary, their menu also features delectable treats such as baklava, a beloved pastry that combines layers of flaky pastry with sweet syrup and nuts. However, it's their famous white sauce that has truly become iconic. This creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy sauce has captivated taste buds across the globe and earned a devoted following. So beloved is the white sauce that The Halal Guys now sell it separately as a condiment, allowing customers to bring home a pouchful of their signature flavor.

Expanding rapidly

Vancouverites have eagerly awaited the arrival of The Halal Guys, and the time has come. On July 3, the restaurant announced the grand opening of its Vancouver location at 570 Robson St, starting from July 15. Residents and food enthusiasts can finally experience the unique taste and mouthwatering dishes that have made The Halal Guys a household name.
