Halal Guys Arrive In Long Beach
01.04.16
New York’s food cart with a cult following, Halal Guys recently opened its second West Coast fast casual location in Long Beach. It’s first location opened in Costa Mesa in October. It’s known for its gyro sandwiches, chicken-and-rice platters and delicious mystery white sauce.
You can also order delicious French fries, hummus, tahini and pita, olives and baklava.
The NYC-based concept signed a deal with Fransmart known for building other popular concepts such as Five Guys, to bring 50 franchised units to Southern California.
The Halal Guys grew from a modest food cart on the streets of New York City to a globally recognized American Halal street food. The Manhattan-based landmark was created by Mohamed Abouelenein, Ahmed Elsaka and Abdelbaset Elsayed of Egypt who recognized that many Muslim cab drivers in New York wanted a place to buy Middle Eastern street foods, so they created their first food cart and quickly became a destination for American Halal fare.
Open from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.
1804 Ximeno Ave., Long Beach. 562.986.9038.
Open 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. Sunday through Wednesday; and 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
3033 Bristol St. in Costa Mesa. 714.850.1080
