The Specialty
The original NYC halal street food concept — chicken and rice platter
# The Halal Guys
The Halal Guys is genuinely iconic in New York City where the white sauce and hot sauce combo is legendary street food. In Toronto? We have so many better options that the Halal Guys doesn't really stand out the same way. It's mid in the context of Toronto's halal scene.
## What to Order
The chicken and rice platter with white sauce — that's the classic NYC order and the way to experience what this chain is about.
## Must Try
The chicken over rice with both sauces — the original format.
## The Verdict
If you're from New York or visiting from there, you'll appreciate what this is. In Toronto's halal food landscape, there are significantly better options. Go if you're curious about the concept, but don't skip Shawarnado or Alfa Shawarma for it.
