New York Street Food Favorite The Halal Guys Hiring for Berkeley Location

The Halal Guys, a cult favorite in New York City known for its gyros, chicken and rice and consistent lines, is setting up shop in the East Bay.

According to Inside Scoop SF, The Halal Guys is hiring employees for the first Bay Area location at 2126 Center Street in Berkeley. 

Foodbeast reported in February that the franchisee behind it also planned to open a San Francisco location, but no further details have emerged.

Halal cooking refers to food that is prepared under Islamic dietary guidelines, something the Bay Area hasn't traditionally had in abundance.

A franchise recently opened in Southern California and more are planned in Las Vegas, Texas, Washington DC and the Philippines.
