Hey, what are you doing?
Hey!
Hey, Zae Zae.
Do you know where we're going today?
Nope!
I told you earlier.
Where are we going?
I forgot.
It's called Halal Guys.
Halal Guys.
Hey, fam.
Recently, when our friends from Malaysia came to visit us here in America...
They were obsessed with going to this one place.
It's called The Halal Guys.
I did my research and apparently...
It is the most popular and legendary street food in New York City.
Our friends actually went to New York City, tried Halal Guys and told us it's amazing.
We haven't even tried it ourselves.
Today, we're gonna go there.
We're going to check out what's all the hype about.
And let you know is it really worth it?
Okay, and to celebrate Valentine's Day today...
We wanted to show you our YouTube studio updated, though.
To create an awesome atmosphere, so we put in some cool track lights
We put in some LED lights behind the desk.
As well as these awesome lamps over here.
And they're really cool.
We use the AiDot lighting system.
But the coolest part is we can control all the colors with the app.
And we can create any Valentine's Day atmosphere we want.
So Zae Zae, what color to you represents love?
Green!
Green? Okay, I got it. I got you.
Woah, look at that.
Green is the best! I want blue.
What do you want?
Blue.
Blue? You like blue? Yeah. Okay.
Like this? Oh, that's such a pretty color.
Oh, my turn. Your turn, okay. What color?
Red color.
Oh, that looks like love.
Okay, there's 16 million color choices, so we could be here for a while.
But to me, this really sets the atmosphere for Valentine's Day.
So fam, set the mood this Valentine's Day with your loved one with the Aidot lighting system.
All the information will be in the description box below.
Guys, come on. You guys ready to go?
Did you bring your toys or not? The one toy.
Where is it? Go get it?
Okay, Kyren which toys are you taking?
Okay, come on guys. Let's go.
Oh, Zae Zae.
What?
Where's the car?
Oh, no!
There it is.
Okay, guys. Shoes on? Let's go.
All right guys, so we are here in Oakland.
We haven't been in Oakland for a long time.
I don't know why. We don't usually come here.
I guess not. I don't know.
Oakland is a nice city.
There's a lot of like hipster cafes and restaurants and bars and you know things like that.
I don't know why we don't usually come here. It's not like kid friendly place, that's why.
Yeah, that's right. It's not very family friendly.
But the closest Halal Guys is here, so that's why we're here today.
Oh, look at these cafes.
Cute cafes. Look at that. All cute cafes.
It's really cool. They're actually letting us to try before we pick it.
So what's this one?
This is regular chicken?
Wow!
Zae Zae, do you want to try this? Try the chicken.
Is it good?
Green pepper, black olive, jalapeño and onion. What do you want?
I want some black olives on one of them. Okay.
How about olives on the chicken one?
Olives on the chicken.
And for that one, can I have jalapeño?
White sauce... (inaudible)
Gosh, so many options.
The famous white sauce and the red sauce.
The red sauce is so spicy. How much line, sir?
It's all right.
I'm doing it on the top of that one because that's how they do it.
It's okay, as much as you want. We like spicy.
It's too spicy.
It's too spicy? Okay, do a little bit then.
One line and I put on the side if you want. Okay.
You can do a couple of lines. It's fine.
I got it.
Yeah, perfect.
Okay, fam.
Looking at the food, I'm so excited.
People here are so nice.
They're so nice. Like the best customer service.
Yeah, best customer service.
Usually a lot of like restaurants... Especially chains...
Especially chains or whatever, they don't like you like record it, right.
So we try to be like, "Oh, we're only recording ourselves."
But they were like, "Hey, record us. Whatever."
They appreciate it and it encourages us as vloggers, you know.
It's fun. It makes it more fun and exciting.
Okay, so we want to try the sauces first because...
Apparently, I read online that the sauces are legendary.
Okay, this is the white sauce.
This is the tahini sauce.
And the spicy sauce.
So we start with the... How about tahini?
Got some fries.
That would be perfect with the falafel.
I was just about to say that.
I can tell how this is just perfect for the falafel.
It's not for fries. Don't do what we're doing.
It's still delicious but.
It's still good, but it's not for fries.
Also, I really like their fries.
It's good, right?
Okay, I'm gonna pour some sauce on here.
I like the sauces come in these little packets.
Pretty big packets, actually.
Oh my gosh. This is a win.
Goodness, this is why this is legendary.
I'm gonna do with pita.
It's the white sauce, guys.
Oh, thank you. He delivered more white sauce.
The white sauce is legendary.
Thank you for all the sauces, Zae Zae. You're kind.
We'll do the hot sauce.
I'm still doing with pita because I like it better with pita.
Okay, I'm going with the fries. Hot sauce.
He kept telling us it's really hot. Let's see.
Okay, that's hot.
That's hot, but a really good hot, though.
Wow!
Anyway, we gotta move on to the main event.
I want to try the sandwich first, and then work our way from there.
Oh, it's a little sloppy and saucy. It's a little sloppy.
It's like kind of like a chipotle burrito going on here, except it's not fully wrapped.
You can see. It's pretty messy. Look at that. It's really messy, which is fine.
This is like... Because... Street food. Yes.
Halal Guys is a street food.
It's usually people eat it late at night.
I feel like I have like white sauce in my nose.
I wish it was a little less messy, but it's incredible.
Oh, wow!
Ky Ky, don't put your hands in the water. Nope.
Take your hands out now.
Okay, so this one is good.
What I would have done differently is not put too much lettuce and tomato...
Because it made it a lot.
If you're really hungry, then do it. You know, you want a big sandwich.
Yeah, it is more of the veggies versus the chicken shawarma that you're getting.
But that white sauce... White sauce on chicken shawarma is good.
A-muh-zing.
Hey, Zae Zae. How was the spicy sauce?
I like it.
You like it? Yeah.
Dude, you are a rock star, man.
How was the spicy sauce, Ky Ky?
Eat and drink water. Okay.
Yeah, we get it.
They both tried it. On their own free will. We did not make them try it.
Next, we're going to try the beef one.
So this one he did it how we've seen in the videos, put all the sauce over it.
It comes with like a pita bread.
Yeah, I asked for jalapeño.
Lettuce, tomato. And the rice actually... Oh, there's rice.
Yeah, rice underneath and the rice actually I'm kind of excited about.
Because it looks really good. Look at the color.
Okay, go in.
Wow!
And it's so juicy.
Like there's nothing dry about this meat. It's juicy, it's rich, it just...
Yeah, like I could almost picture myself...
If the chicken shawarma was good, this is amazing.
It's so good.
This is definitely like it's as good if not better than the chicken shawarma.
It's like a beef that has been marinated for a long time and then grilled to perfection.
Okay, we gotta move on
Let's try the...
We still got the chicken.
I'm still gonna do with falafel because I love falafel.
So this is a falafel.
It's basically like a fried one.
Chickpea, right? Fried chickpea?
I think. So good. I think so.
So it's vegetarian? Yeah.
But this one doesn't have the spicy sauce.
Also, earlier the combination of the white sauce and spicy sauce, that's where it's at.
You need both. You do need both.
It's like mayonaise, the white sauce. The spicy sauce
It's really good, but the beef is definitely better.
The beef is better, yeah.
Okay, let's try the falafel.
And then I'll give you my honest review.
Okay, so this is how I would rate it.
I'll rate the beef at the top.
And then chicken shawarma.
Falafel.
And then the regular, the plain chicken.
I 100% agree with that rate. Me too
But I see a case for the plain chicken because the plain chicken is less flavorful.
It's cooked well.
It's juicy.
So if you are a health nut...
If you're trying to lose weight and trying to be healthy...
Get the regular chicken.
Because it's like it's not overly done.
It's not greasy. Yeah, it's not greasy.
Dude, it's so good.
The tahini sauce on the falafel though, is... Yeah, the falafel is good.
And what I noticed is when we ordered the falafel...
They fry it.
They like fresh fry it, so it's not like they're sitting there for a long time, so that's kind of awesome.
Thank you. I'll see you.
Halal Guys is actually really good. We highly recommend.
It definitely exceeded expectations for sure.
Yeah, I'm kind of surprised that it's not like more popular here.
Maybe New York City. That's why we haven't heard much about it.
Maybe. I feel like things are in New York and then California...
And then spread to the rest of America.
If you have the opportunity to come, try it out.
And I'm actually also blown away by the customer service.
Everyone was so nice. The sweetest workers there.
Yeah, it was so great. I love that.
Doggy.
What?
Doggy.
A doggy?
Okay, come on.
Let's follow Mama.
Is it time for some coffee?
My milk was thumbs to the corner.
Your milk into the corner?
No, when you asked him is it thumbs up, thumbs to the side, thumbs down...
He said thumbs to the corner.
Oh, thumbs to the corner. Why?
You gotta explain your rating, my man.
I got to train you because once Daddy can't do YouTube videos anymore...
You're gonna take over the Kumaar Family channel.
Are you ready for that?
Yeah!
Yeah, you ready?
Okay, so why do you give it a thumbs to the corner?
Because it tastes like that.
It tastes like grass?
Don't. He said it tastes like that.
Oh, it tastes like that.
How about you, Ky Ky?
Thumbs to the what?
To the side.
Oh!
Thumbs to the side.
