Posted on: April 10th, 2016 by Taryn Jeffries 1 Comment

UPDATE: We have an official location and opening date for The Halal Guys Phoenix location and we could not be more excited!

The Tempe location will open on Friday, January 27 at 1015 S Rural Rd., Ste 104 Tempe, Arizona, 85281, at 11:00 a.m., near Arizona State University, and the first 100 guests in line will receive a free t-shirt. Tasty Mediterranean food and a free t-shirt? This is a no brainer!

“We are excited about our Tempe location for several factors. One reason is because our brand was in-part made famous by college kids from NYU, LaGuardia, and Columbia who were looking for a filling, affordable, and tasty meal and Arizona State University is a perfect counterpart on the west coast. And secondly on a personal level, ASU is my alma mater and I have a lot of love for the school, fraternities and associations I was a part of,” said franchisee AJ Ahmad.

Finding a great Mediterranean restaurant in the Valley, and while there are definitely some shining stars creating unique and diverse dishes, can be a bit daunting and laborious. So what do you do when you are looking for a perfectly crafted gyro sandwich or chicken platter? Soon there will be no question. The Halal Guys Phoenix location is coming!

“We are very excited to enter the Arizona market for many reasons. Our goal is to get people to ditch burgers for something more unique and with higher quality. The Halal Guys have a cult-like following across the country and we can’t wait to bring that energy to Arizona,” said franchisee AJ Ahmad.

The Halal Guys aim to be different and encourage patrons across America to gravitate to ethnic foods and higher quality fast-casual restaurants. They pride themselves on only using high-quality products like their chicken, which has never been frozen and is marinated and seasoned overnight, then cooked and chopped on the grill and served directly to their plate to ensure a crave-worthy meal that’s piping hot. The Halal Guys’ mission is to ensure that every customer leaves happy, with a smile on their face and a satisfaction that brings them back again.

    The question is will they succeed in AZ with all the lovely, adorable, ever so ethnically diverse and well-educated Trump supporters in Phoenix? They are a bounty of cultural diversity, acceptance and willing to try new and different things. Who needs steak for cowboys when you have halal food?
