Who we are

The Halal Guys is the fastest-growing American Halal franchise in the world, delivering mouthwatering chicken, gyros, and falafel platters to food enthusiasts across North America, Europe, and Asia. With 100 stores open and over 400 in development worldwide, it truly is the epitome of the American Dream.

The Halal Guys represents a unique brand in the restaurant industry, combining the rich cultural traditions of halal food with a proven business model that has seen success on a global scale. Our story starts in 1990 with three Egyptian founders who began a hot dog cart in New York City, later switching to halal food due to a lack in authentic options. Today, after decades of relentless effort and dedication, The Halal Guys is recognized for serving fresh, authentic American Halal food and has even been named the #1 most Yelped restaurant and top restaurant in New York City in 2017.

Why choose The Halal Guys?

Choosing to franchise with The Halal Guys opens up an opportunity to be part of a global enterprise that has a committed and passionate customer base. Our franchisees benefit from joining a growing network of successful restaurant owners, with comprehensive training and robust support systems in place. Moreover, the brand holds a unique appeal for established franchisees of other major brands including Five Guys, Subway, Denny’s, Elevation Burger, Dunkin Donuts, & Caesar’s Palace who have identified The Halal Guys as a promising emerging brand.
