Features / Highlights

The Halal Guys has earned its reputation not just in NYC, but nationwide, thanks to several key features that make the food a beloved classic.

• The Famous White Sauce and Fiery Hot Sauce: No mention of The Halal Guys is complete without celebrating the legendary White Sauce—a creamy, tangy, and addictive dressing that elevates every dish. For those who dare, the Hot Sauce is known for its intense kick.
• American Halal Food Pioneer: We are an American restaurant specializing in Halal food, offering a unique and authentic flavor profile that blends Mediterranean spices with a fast-casual, New York street-food style.
• Entree Value and Variety: Our signature dishes are the Regular Platter ($16.99) and Small Platter ($14.99), each loaded with rice, lettuce, tomatoes, and your choice of protein (Chicken, Gyro, or Falafel). The generous portions ensure you get great value for a filling meal.
• Vegetarian and Vegan-Friendly Options: The Falafel is a permanent staple, serving as a delicious vegetarian option. You can enjoy the Falafel Platter or Falafel Sandwich. It is important to note that for a vegan meal, you should request no White Sauce on your platter or sandwich, as the falafel itself, hummus, rice, pita, and toppings like jalapeños and olives are vegan-friendly.
• Desserts and Craft Beverages: We offer classic Mediterranean desserts like Baklava ($6.99) and rich treats like the Baklava Cheesecake ($6.99) and Chocolate Baklava Cheesecake ($6.99). Our refreshing Craft Beverages include unique options like Passion Fruit Lemonade, Hibiscus Lemonade, and Mango Iced Tea.
• Family-Friendly Environment: The atmosphere is casual and family-friendly, and we welcome children with high chairs available and simple, satisfying options like French Fries ($4.99) and a simple Rice side ($2.99).
• Diverse Menu Options: In addition to the famous platters and sandwiches, the menu features limited-time items like Chicken Wings and sides like Hummus ($6.99), Pita Bread ($1.99), and crispy BBQ Spiced Pita ($2.99).

What is Worth Choosing at The Halal Guys

When you visit The Halal Guys in Yonkers, the choice is clear for a reason: the classic platters and their iconic accompaniments. We specialize in dishes that offer comfort and quick satisfaction, which is exactly what New Yorkers look for in a great meal.

The core of the menu—the Platters—are a must-try. For first-timers, the classic combo of seasoned chicken and beef gyro over rice is the quintessential experience. However, a significant highlight is the Falafel Platter or Falafel Sandwich. Our falafel is a perfect, crispy alternative to the meat options, made from ground chickpeas and spices, and is a fantastic choice for vegetarians. Pair it with a side of Hummus and warm Pita Bread for a more traditional Mediterranean feel. Don't forget the sauces; getting extra White Sauce packets ($0.99) and a Hot Sauce packet ($0.99) to-go is a move only a seasoned Halal Guys enthusiast would know to make.

For families or groups, the Family Meal Deal is an excellent value, providing generous portions of protein and sides for four people, making dinner a breeze. And finally, end your meal with a unique dessert like the Chocolate Baklava Cheesecake for a sweet twist on a traditional favorite. While some customers have noted occasional service or consistency issues—a challenge many busy, high-volume restaurants face—the overwhelmingly positive feedback highlights the delicious flavor, generous portions, and essential comfort food quality that keep people coming back. The Halal Guys remains a beloved local destination for quick, Halal, and deeply satisfying food.
