In 1990, you had to go out to Queens if you wanted a Halal meal in New York City. So the three original Halal Guys – Muhammed Abouelenein, Ahmed Elsaka, and Abdelbaset Elsayed – opened up a food cart for all of the hungry taxi drivers. Today, that food cart has grown into a fast casual restaurant with new locations opening up throu ghout the world – an entrepreneurial success story if I’ve ever heard one!

To learn more about this incredible story and how The Halal Guys is growing like crazy today, I sit down with Ahmed Abouelenein, CEO of The Halal Guys and son of one of the founders.

“During all these years, day and night, The Halal Guys was there for our customers. Whenever customers came to us, we were there. And that’s not something everyone did. During hurricanes, snow storms, all of that – we were there!” –Ahmed Abouelenein

We also discuss:
  • How the original food cart found a huge and hungry audience
  • What does “Halal” mean?

  • The Halal Guys were the only cart open in the city during Hurricane Sandy
  • What’s on The Halal Guys menu
  • The distinctive Halal Guys “white sauce”
  • Beginning to franchise with Fransmart in 2014
  • Just four years after beginning to franchise, the Halal Guys currently has 76 locations open!!
  • The Halal Guys name actually didn’t exist until around 2006
  • How they monitor and assure that all of their product is genuinely Halal
  • The biggest challenges that Ahmed runs into
