From the streets of NYC to the gates of JFK. ✈️🔥
Yesterday, we celebrated the grand opening of our very first airport location at JFK Terminal 5! What started as a food cart on 53rd & 6th is now serving travelers from around the world before they take off.
A huge thank you to our partners and everyone who helped make this milestone possible. If you're flying through Terminal 5, stop by for our legendary platters, sandwiches, and of course, plenty of white sauce. 🤍
Next stop: wherever you're headed.

🔥🥙🤌🏼I went to try the new menu at Halal Guys and ended up not ordering my usual. Got the lamb and beef gyro this time + extra white sauce (always). It was really well seasoned without being overpowering at all. They also have crispy waffle fries now and definitely get them loaded. You’ll thank me later. Don’t forget to grab a refresher too. The Strawberry and mango are my favorites. It was not too sweet and paired perfectly with everything. Save this for your next Halal Guys run!

What people say
Fast food restaurants are a go-to for many people who want quick, tasty meals on the go. The Halal Guys in Race Street, Philadelphia is no exception. This fast food and halal restaurant offers a unique blend of Greek, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern cuisine that has made it famous worldwide.
The story of The Halal Guys began in 1990 when three partners opened up a hot dog cart in New York City. As their business grew, they recognized a demand from Muslim cab drivers looking for halal food meals. That's when the famous platter of chicken and gyro over rice was born, along with their signature white and red sauces.
Fast forward to today, The Halal Guys have expanded to multiple locations across the country and even internationally. Their Race Street location in Philadelphia opened its doors in March 2016 and has since become a favorite among locals and tourists alike.
What sets The Halal Guys apart is their commitment to using only high-quality ingredients that are halal-certified. Their menu features mouth-watering dishes such as chicken or beef gyros over rice or pita bread, falafel sandwiches, hummus bowls, and more.
But what really makes The Halal Guys stand out is their signature white sauce - a creamy blend of yogurt, mayo, vinegar, and spices - which adds an extra layer of flavor to any dish. And for those who like it spicy, their red sauce packs a punch that will leave your taste buds tingling.
Overall, The Halal Guys on Race Street is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious fast food that's also halal-certified. With friendly staff and generous portions at affordable prices, it's no wonder why this restaurant has become so popular among locals and visitors alike.
