I didn’t knew this but just while walking around the city of San Francisco, I noticed that they have Halal Guys! If you haven’t heard about The Halal Guys, it’s a really popular restaurant chain that started in Manhattan, New York City. A lot of New Yorkers when they are done with their drinking, end up at this place for a meal before heading home!
And I love The Halal Guys (NYC), so I went in and ordered a combo platter. The Combo Platter contains a variety of meat (beef/chicken) and has rice, lettuce and tomatoes. In case you are vegetarian, you can get their falafel platter.
For some reason, I felt that the Combo Platter that they serve in New York City is much better than the one in San Francisco. I think part of the reason might be that the restaurant in San Francisco is Franchise owned and the quality can be a bit different.
I think the Halal Guys in San Francisco didn’t meet my expectations but that doesn’t mean that I won’t be visiting the other Halal Guys restaurant in New York whenever I am there 🙂 If you are in New York, do try The Halal Guys street carts as they offer the best pricing for the platter.
