Halal Guys Closes, New Eatery Coming Soon To Village At Newtown

NEWTOWN, PA — The Halal Guys, a Middle Eastern restaurant at the Village at Newtown Shopping Center has closed its doors after two and a half years in operation.

The eatery opened its doors in August 2022 in a 1600 square foot space formerly occupied by the Melt Shop, which closed its doors during the pandemic.

The restaurant was popular for its Middle Eastern food, including its chicken and beef gyros and falafel platters.

The Halal Guys will be replaced by Love & Honey Chicken, an elevated fast casual chicken takeout eatery.

The shop will be among the first suburban locations for the popular fried chicken shop, which was rated as the best fried chicken restaurant in Philadelphia in 2018.

The eatery is known for its hand breaded fried chicken sandwiches, its chicken tenders, chicken and waffles, 10 pack of dark meat, drumsticks, thighs, tater tots, wings, cornbread muffins, pimento cheese dip, and house made sauces.

The new eatery will predominantly be a call in and takeout service although there will be a limited amount of indoor seating provided.
