the halal guys are in manila!

Sooooooo....

After months of waiting and delays, The Halal Guys are finally opening!

SAVE THE DATE: 10-13-15

One of the best perks of my job is being one of the first to try exciting new places and no other establishment opening this year could probably could get me as excited as this.

Were my expectations met?

Read on for a first look at THE HALAL GUYS! :)

Yesterday was a dry run exclusively held for press and bloggers.

The first Halal Guys outside of New York is in our country and I can't believe how lucky we are to have been chosen as the first place to expand in.

Their pioneer branch in Manila is located at the slightly more posh food court of the 5th floor of SM Megamall's Fashion Hall.

Their staff seemed well trained and happy to be working at such an iconic establishment.

Prices are reasonable. About P200++php for a large plate.

You can opt between regular and NEW YORK SIZE which is large enough to share between two people on your NEXT visit.

For first-timers, I suggest getting a large and ordering as much as you can since I imagine the lines will be super long.

Menu is pretty basic and straightforward. 

Choose wether you want your chicken/beef/falafel over rice or as a gyro. Bestsellers are combos such as the one in the photo below which includes chicken and beef + rice + pita + greens topped with a delicious white sauce (ask for a lot!)

I LOVE FALAFELS so I got a side order which only cost P99 for 4!

If you like things spicy, make it a point to grab some extra hot sauce. It's super spicy but packed with yummy flavor (not all heat) just be careful and only put a little at first or things could and might get nasty...:P

I risked a gallbladder attack for this meal. PG na kung PG but I gotta say, a bite of that beef dredged in sauce was worth it.

Thank god I didn't get an attack but even if I did...ok lang. hahaha

They're still closed but I heard they'll be opening at an undisclosed time today to serve a limited number of people for a dry run.If you're in the area, why not drop by and take your chances?
