The Halal Guys Set to Open First Arizona Restaurant

With over a dozen restaurants to come in Arizona over the next few years, The Halal Guys are set to open their first later this month.  The menu may look small but if you have ever been to New York City, then you know the lines are the exact opposite.  Known for their chicken and gyro meat platters and sandwiches topped with red and white sauce, The Halal Guys are looking to capitalize on the ASU area with the restaurant to be located at 1015 S. Rural Rd. Tempe, AZ 85281.

While they are currently in the hiring process, if the Yelp page is accurate, the hours for the Tempe location will be 11am to 11pm Sunday - Thursday and 11am to 2am Friday & Saturday.

According to their website:

"The Halal Guys legend began in 1990, when the three founding partners opened up a hot dog cart on West 53rd & 6th Avenue in New York City. As business grew, they recognized a huge demand from Muslim cab drivers looking for a halal food meal. That is when the famous platter of chicken and gyro over rice was born. And let’s not forget about the famous white and red sauces!"

When a hard open date is set, this post will be updated.

UPDATE 1-14-17: The Halal Guys will open on Friday, January 27th at 11am.
