The Halal Guys To Celebrate Grand Opening Of First Bucks Location

NEWTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — The Halal Guys, specializing in authentic American Halal food, including chicken and beef gyros and falafel platters, will celebrate the grand opening of its first Bucks County location on Sept. 9, 10 and 11.

The eatery is located at the Village at Newtown Shopping Center next to Dogs and Cats Rule.

The first 50 guests in-store on Sept. 9 will get one free platter or sandwich with the next 50 guests receiving buy one get one free. And everyone in-store between Sept. 9 and 11 will get a free two-piece falafel with the purchase of a meal. The eatery opens at 11 a.m.

In addition, free The Halal Guys swag, t-shirts, hats, pins, sports bottles, and pop sockets will be given out while supplies last.

The Halal Guys held a soft opening in late August in a 1600 square foot space formerly occupied by the Melt Shop, which closed its doors during the pandemic. It includes up to 18 indoor seats, representing a reduction from the Melt Shop’s 24 seats.

The Halal Guys have grown from a food cart on the streets of New York City to a global icon known as the largest American halal street food concept in the world. The food cart was first parked on the corner of 53rd and 6th Avenue in 1990 by three like-minded men from Egypt who came to America in search of a better life.

In 2014, The Halal Guys began expanding its authentic halal cuisine from the food cart into restaurants and now operates more than 90 locations within the United States, Canada, Indonesia, South Korea and the United Kingdom.

This is the first location in Bucks County for the Halal Guys, which has eateries in King of Prussia and Philadelphia and more than 400 locations throughout the nation.
