Chicken-and-rice masterminds The Halal Guys are finally debuting their brick-and-mortar East Village eatery tomorrow, so you can go ahead and order those elastic waistband jeans you've been dreaming about.
The Daily News reports that the food cart gang will open the long-awaited space on 14th Street and 2nd Ave bright and early tomorrow morning. The new 20-seat spot will serve up the usual platters of chicken/lamb, rice and otherworldly white sauce delight, along with smoothies, gyros and Mediterranean spreads and salads.
And like the carts, the East Village outpost will offer up fodder for your violent post-drinking indigestion at all hours, staying open from 7 a.m. to 4 a.m. daily. Not that you'll be able to score booze from the Halal Guys: "Most of our customers aren’t Muslim, but we are,” co-founder Abdelbaset Elsayed told the tabloid. “We have to respect our religion.” Thankfully, Beauty Bar is down the block.
