After driving along HW 6 in the wee hours of the night, I noticed a bunch of cars parked at the…read moreCITGO gas station and even eventually realized that none of them were getting gas. It turns out they were here all getting food from none other than Al Mankal Grill, a longtime bookmark and one of the gems of Sugar Land. They're in good company, as there are multiple Halal trucks, serving different cuisines and specializing in all kinds of food. The local following is impressive, but seeing as they have a perfect rating across different platforms, they're clearly doing something right. I ordered the beef and lamb chunks, a $27 (with tax) which had the perfect amount of char with just a hint of smokiness. Despite the price, I was floored at how delicious it was. The chicken shawarma arabi ($12) is a popular choice, while the mixed grill ($18) provides some variety between the meats. The chicken skewer ($6) and lamb with fat ($7) were both outstanding. The guy behind the window was friendly and dealt with every customer in a long line with ease. Credit cards are most definitely accepted and the wait for the food ended up being somewhere around 20 minutes. Unlike the other food trucks, they actually have outdoor seating with a few (albeit janky) picnic tables. This spot will become one of my most frequent when I'm in the area.

You're going to get two smashed patties, cheese, onions, and some burger sauce. If you're lucky, you may get some decent fries. That being said, the fries were amazing. I'm not Much of a French fry person. They were perfectly crispy and seasoned very well. As far as the burger goes, I got a double smash. Very moist burger and bun was very soft. Definitely melted in your mouth. It just lacked flavor. Even the sauce itself was bland.

We returned to pick up some burgers and biryani to-go for the family. It's been a while since our…read morelast visit. There were no customers inside at 1pm on a Saturday. The interior felt sticky and unkept, which is a shame because this is not an old spot by any means and Telfair is a pretty nice community. The legs of the tables were rusted over and the plastic of the chairs were chipped. There were cobwebs on the walls. It just felt like the place has not been well maintained. When we ordered, the cashier never showed or told me my order back and just gave me the total price, expecting me to tap my card. Hearing that our order for 4 people was over $60, the price sounded high to me for the prices listed on the overhead TV menus. Come to find out there was a markup on the loaded fries I ordered that was not reflected on the display. When I asked her about it, she nonchalantly said "Oh yeah the price is higher". My first thought was, hey it's a digital menu, how hard is that to change? Secondly, the attitude in response to how my order broke down was definitely not one of good customer service. I also asked how spicy the chili ranch sauce was that came with the avocado burger since my 6 year-old was ordering it and she assured me it was not spicy. We ended up having to wait over half an hour for our food. Turned out the avocado burger had some sort of chopped peppers throughout the spread and my son couldn't even eat a bite. The biryani was also extremely spicy. I like spicy food as much as the next, but the biryani was hot fire coming out the chute, and there was a lot "chuting" from the family after this meal. Needless to say, we won't be returning anytime soon. Which is too bad, because I want to support local, ethnic foods and honestly, I like the taste of the food.

Sad to give this place two stars because the fusion concept sound promising. Burgers and biriyani…read moreare two things I enjoy, so I figured it was going to be hard to dislike. We ordered the tikka chicken masala paratha and chicken biriyani with a side of fries. The paratha was packed with protein, but unfortunately was hard and dry. The sauce/gravy within the wrap was decent, but just couldn't save the chicken. The biriyani was ok. Chicken was decent but the rice lacked something that made it taste like restaurants quality. The fries were the most disappointing - they were stale and tasted overcooked, sort of like when you reheat day old fries. There's an indicator when your child doesn't care for any fries. Overall meal was about $30. We tipped and cleaned up after ourselves. Not the best counter service, but not bad. The interior was ok. They had Mr. Bean playing on TV, so that brought back some old childhood nostalgia feels. Unlikely that we will be back, but if so, I'll try the burger next time.

We ordered the combination gyro and chicken over rice and a burger. Service was quick and efficient. Burger and fries were solid, but the combo blew us away. White sauce was a vibrant, acidic, and tangy compliment to the deeply savory, hot, and juicy gyro over the bed of rice. Side salad was fresh, and the red sauce was nice and spicy. It really did taste like I was eating from a street cart in Manhattan. Not a great ambience, but you obviously don't come here for that. You come for the food. This place is Let's Eat HTX approved! Give it a try when you're around Sugarland.

A solid restaurant for something to feed you at reasonable pricing. Great for dining in and to-go…read more I personally enjoy their mixed kababs with rice and hummus (comes with pita bread). Other honorable mentions: philly cheese subs (both beef and chicken, depending on your preference), beef kabab wrap, crispy chicken burger, and you must absolutely get their fries to share (or not to share, whatever floats your boat). Honestly, haven't had any issues with any of their entrees. Just a tip that fries actually are crispier if you dine-in instead of taking to-go. They also have catering service, which is great for when hosting for my Muslims friends and knowing everything I order from Busy Boy's are halal. I haven't tried their crepes but my friends love it here and always recommend it. There was a time over the Summer when I would randomly find hair but I realized it's one of the workers who kept scratching his head with food-prepped gloves. Haven't had any issues lately since then but just a headsup. I've been coming here for years and it's really a good option if you want food that doesn't take forever, halal, and just laid back atmosphere. Just please clean up after yourself to clear the table for the next guest. If you ever get a combo (with fries and a drink), I highly suggest the lemon-lime at their soda fountain but just try a bit of everything if it's your first time.

They were running out of chicken shawarma meat and charcoal wasn't operating properly so that is something to consider when reading my review.. the food was good, but just "good". It's operated by younger chefs and they managed to make the food taste like it came out of a Palestinan grandmas kitchen BUT the shawarma is not like the typical rotisserie shaved meat with garlic toum in flatbread. It has its own distinct flavor/ sauce/ style of cooking. The smoky flavor in the rice is exceptional, pretty unique! Solid hummus as well. If you want that rotisserie type, toasted sandwich flavor with a skewer of juicy tender meat on the side, hit up Al Mankal food truck, also Palestinan owned. They can't be beat. P.S. located in Moosa Colony, in the Chevron lot. Food takes time! I'd say twice the time/ estimate they give.
