“We love Houston and are thrilled to be opening our sixth location here,” said Masroor Fatany, local franchise owner for The Halal Guys, in a recent release. “Our brand new design tells the story of where we’ve been and showcases our street cart roots, as well as where we’re going with some cool local elements we think Houstonians will love. We’re looking forward to being able to provide our delicious halal food and unparalleled customer service to even more fans in Houston. Houston has supported us tremendously through the pandemic, and we hope to continue to serve this community.”
