New York food cart chain The Halal Guys has been named the number-one fastest growing restaurant concept by Restaurant Business on its 2017 Future 50 list. The Halal Guys first started in 1990 “by three like-minded men from Egypt who came to America in search of a better life. When the founders noticed many Muslim cab drivers in New York City were looking for a place to buy Halal food in Manhattan, they created their first food cart that quickly grew into a leading destination for American Halal fare. In 2013, The Halal Guys was ranked the most popular food truck reviewed on Foursquare and in 2014 was the third most reviewed restaurant on Yelp in the United States.” They now have 350 restaurants in development worldwide.
