The Halal Guys
The Halal Guys are the diamond in the ruff of all Halal trucks. The outstanding amount of Halal trucks in the city may be responsible for the reason as to why every block seems to smell like falafel and grilled onions amongst the list of other familiar scents that help us identify the place 6 million of us call home. It is an understatement to say that there are too many Halal trucks in the city.
Well here is one for the skeptical, tired, and hungry --- The Halal Guys --- the food truck that claims to be the best in the city. The truck is located on the corner of 53rd street and 6th Avenue. If the yellow umbrellas don't give it away, then it is the perpetual line that typically goes down to the middle of the block. Foodies refer to the best Halal truck in the city as "Chicken and Rice" or "Platters." But approach The Halal Guys cautiously, because the hot sauce is heavier on the hot, and there are various surrounding copy-cat-food-trucks that claim to be the real thing.
Our recommendation: Chicken and lamb combination platter with white sauce.
