It was a smaller restaurant with a fair amount of seating. The servers were very friendly and able to assist in what I should get. I got the CHICKEN SHISH BOWL which had rice, lettuce, cabbage, pita, grilled chicken and a white sauce (whatever it is, it made the dish) Great experience and will be recommending to others !

The lady behind the counter was very…read morehelpful and went over the menu with me and explained what various dishes were and told me some of her favorites. I ended up getting a bowl of lentil soup, and border of grape leaves, and an Iskander kebab platter. It was waaaaayy toooo muuuuuch food!!!!! It was also very very good! She gave me garlic sauce and hot sauce both of which were great but the food didn't even need it!! The Iskander platter was so good, thinly sliced meat on a bed of croutons with a tomato sauce and cool creamy yogurt sauce beside it. Next time I'll probably only get they - but only because the soup and grape leaves just made it too much food!! She tried to get me to get rice pudding too but I had nowhere to put it.

Consistently excellent. One of my favorite spots around the area. Whenever I feel like a great,…read moreindulgent meal, I tend to go for Halal Eatz. High-effort, well-executed and conceived takes on middle eastern and American food - lamb over rice, falafel, burgers, hot chicken sandwiches, hummus. Chicken is their strongest suit, in my estimation. They do amazing chicken tenders and chicken wings, paired with a tasty sauce and breaded for a really killer crunch. I love em. Same goes for their chicken burgers, chicken over rice combos, and chicken wraps. Lamb here is great, as is the falafel. I haven't had a bad meal with either. I tried their hummus on a recent trip and thought it was good. Nothing mind-blowing but better than the average. Also want to call out their waffle fries and onion rings, which are perfectly done. I love em to death. Whatever my main is, my side will typically be either the chicken tends or the waffle fries. For the negatives, their non-burger beef offerings suffer from the beef having lots of chewy bits in them. For example, their steak and cheese should be a sure thing, but every bite had a bit chewy bit I had to stop eating to pull out. They also overdo it on the mayo/sauce for that sandwich. So yeah, avoid their steak bomb and steak and cheese. I haven't tried their milkshakes but I am very sure they do a great job. Halal Eatz is one of those places you can usually trust to do a new item very well.

We were craving burgers and found Halal Eatz on Yelp when I was in the Burlington, MA area. I…read moreplaced an online order for their smash burger, a classic cheeseburger, waffle fries, and a cookies n cream milkshake. The burgers were juicy and cooked perfectly and weren't overly salty either. There was a nice amount of grilled onions in my smash burger too. I love waffle fries and couldn't resist when I saw them on their menu. I was greeted with a warm welcome walking in and the cashier seemed genuinely appreciative of my business. Went back a second time a few days later for a double classic cheeseburger and another cookies n cream milkshake. The restaurant is small but has a few dining tables and clean. The free hot tea is a nice touch! Halal Eats is located just a few miles from the Burlington Mall and is well worth the short drive!

Restaurant appears dated and in need of some updates. Service was good.

The credit card company eventually refunded the money, but I wouldn't try ordering again without some signs of life. If I can try the food some day, I can revisit the 1 star.

Garlic naan was buttery and very much not afraid of garlic, and the samosa were huge and perfectly golden fried! If you're not in the mood for sumptuous Indian / Bangladeshi fare, the fried chicken feels like being transported to a bodega in Queens or the Bronx... just SHATTERINGLY crispy and flavorful. Ask for extra tamarind sauce to dunk it in, or crack open a bottle of Franks and go to town! If all this wasn't enough, the staff at Hot Chix are incredibly friendly and generous, and the menu overall is (in my opinion) super affordable! If you've been on the fence, you should definitely take the plunge!!

I have never had middle eastern food before, but I'm a foodie so I was ready to try something new…read more the women at the front counter walked me through the different meats/spices and dishes. I went with the chicken shish bowl. White rice bulgar, grilled marinated chicken breast, pickled cabbage/ lettuce salad with a thick lemony dressing. I actually liked their Tzatziki better because I'm not a huge lemon fan, but when I mixed it together, it was really nice. The bowl was full of flavor. I loved the bulgar and the chicken was so moist and tender. Everything mixed with a bit of The pita, which was warm and fluffy was the perfect bite. My friend got the chicken shawarma wrap and I had a bite. That was very tasty too. Cute little place in Rte 1. Order at the counter and they bring it to your table. I don't know if all the ingredients were GF but besides the pita, seems pretty gluten friendly. I will definitely be back when in the area. It was so good I forgot to take a picture lol
