Popular Restaurant Chain Opening 1st Rhode Island Location In Warwick

WARWICK, RI — The popular restaurant chain The Halal Guys is opening its first Rhode Island location in Warwick, according to a Facebook post.

The Halal Guys has restaurants in 17 states, as well as in Washington, D.C., Canada, Indonesia, Korea and the United Kingdom.

The International chain exploded from humble origins 35 years ago, according to the company's website.

"The Halal Guys’ incredible journey begins in 1990 with our three Egyptian founders," the site said. "They first started a hot dog cart in New York City, then pivoted to selling halal food to Muslim taxi drivers who at the time had few outlets for authentic halal food in the five boroughs. Thus, our famous platters of chicken and gyro over rice, falafel sandwiches, and crave-able sauces were born."

In addition to beef gyro, chicken and falafel dishes, the menu includes with hummus, falafel, fries, baklava and more.

The future Warwick Halal Guys will be on Post Avenue, according to the Facebook post.
