[WATCH] The Halal Guys' Chicken And Gyro Platter Is NYC’s Most Legendary Street Food

2025-07-19T12:00:00-04:00

The Halal Guys first came to the streets of New York City in 1990, when the three founders opened up a hot-dog cart in Midtown. They realized there was a demand from Muslim cab drivers looking for a halal meal, so they began serving American halal food from the cart. The Arabic term halal means ‘lawful’ and is often used in Islam to describe meat that is permissible to eat based on specific religious guidelines. But in New York, many people know halal as the affordable food they can find at many street carts across the city. At The Halal Guys' original cart on 53rd Street and 6th Avenue, people wait in line for the iconic combo platter, a foil dish packed with chicken and gyro over rice, accompanied by lettuce, tomato, pita, and the famous and secret red and white sauces.

[VIDEO] Meet Freddy Zeideia, the "King of Falafel" in Astoria, Queens

2024-08-31T12:00:00-04:00

King of Falafel & Shawarma is a local middle eastern food restaurant in Astoria, Queens with three food trucks, all of which serve up some of the best falafel in all of New York City. In this profile video from our friends at Munchies, meet Freddy Zeideia, the "King of Falafel."

King of Falafel & Shawarma has been serving mouthwatering Middle Eastern cuisine on the streets of Astoria for the last 17 years. The falafel recipe, with its unique oval shape, is a guarded secret of owner Freddy Zeideia, who mastered it with techniques he learned while growing up in Palestine. After being dissatisfied with the falafel and shawarma offerings in New York, Freddy took matters into his own hands by starting King of Falafel & Shawarma in 2002. Since then, his enterprise has grown, with a truck in Astoria, a cart in Midtown, and a newly opened restaurant in Queens.
