Service was great and wonderful, the young lady always checked up to make sure everything was great. Food was so tasty & had flavor to it! I had ordered octopus with hummus, it was very well cooked & I had to have pita on the side. I also ordered shish kebab filet mignon & as well very well cooked, not overcooked or dry at all. The rice was plain, which was okay for me. The onions definitely made up for it to combine it together. To top it off I also got fried calamari, it was a little bit chewy overall still had flavor to it. My go to drink was a mint lemonade that they make it into a slushie. I never had a mint lemonade so the taste to the drink was new to me but I loved it! You could bring your own liquor becusse they do not sell that. Overall amazing place for a quick lunch or dinner!

I want to love this place but every time I try to give it a chance the food is very salty. I mean…read moreand I'm a girl who loves salt. I prefer salty snacks over sweets, for example. I love salty cheeses and olives and pickles and chips and all of the salty things lol. But when I say the meal is too salty it means there's A LOT of salt. I was hoping to meet the owner to express the opinion because the food they make has a lot of flavor it doesn't need added salt. The last thing I ordered was pesto gnocchi with grilled chicken. And I was so excited because I love pesto and it's hard to find halal Italian food. It's better the food have no salt and we can add to taste after ordering since there's so much flavor in the food without the salt, than to order the food and it's so salty there's no saving the plate or our hearts. Anyway. I hope the owner makes the necessary adjustments otherwise my blood pressure will pop all my veins. I want to come back and try so many things.. just without the salt. I had one of their store made juices tho.. that was delicious. The worker there was very very kind, but wasn't the owner. The store is cute, mostly to go spot but has pretty good seating.

Thankfully the Halal Joint has a much saner gameplan - being open and having (enough) inventory. The restaurant is small, bright, clean. The guy behind the counter was friendly. And the food has a lot of pop - the falafel was crispy, crunchy and packed with flavor and those Cajun fries (weird that they only offered seasoned French fries) were mighty delicious as well. Everything being fried isn't the best option for someone in my age-bracket but it sure was tasty. Portion sizes were legit. Pricing was decent. Parking... welp, you can't win 'em all.

I know there's a million Halal spots popping up, and I will admit I'm very, very picky when it comes to platters. I miss the good ol' days on 53rd street in NYC... I came by around 10pm and was served quickly by a friendly employee. They have platters, burgers, wraps, wings, chicken tenders, fries, etc. I ordered the chicken rice platter (~$13.50). They cook the meat fresh on the grill and then you choose your toppings at the salad bar (olives, onions, peppers, tomatoes, etc.). It's a bit pricier than other places, but the portion size is huge. The container felt HEAVY lol. It's just a shame it went to waste because I really didn't enjoy the food. I only finished about half of it before I tossed the rest. The white sauce was almost flavorless and was VERY watery. The chicken wasn't as well-seasoned. No distinct spices or aroma. Every bite left me with a very greasy and salty taste in my mouth. The side salad was just okay. I was disappointed. The only saving grace was the rice... it was fluffy and the best part of the whole platter. Not sure if I came on an off night or...? Don't let my review stop you from trying. It might just not be the Halal spot for me.

My husband and I really enjoy Hot Kebabs. Their food is always so fresh, perfectly seasoned, and…read morejust so satisfying. We absolutely LOVE their shepherd's salad and we even order the shepherd's salad when we host dinners and it's always devoured. Our usual order is the chicken kebob platter, gyro meat platter, and shepherd's salad. The chicken and gyro meats are accompanied by two types of rice, some salad, a grilled piece of tomato (yums), and a superrrrr spicy pepper (it's tasty, but be cautious! Take only a small bite to test first). We also get their falafel wrap, which is sooo good. I think they have the best falafel wrap. It's simple -- good falafels, hummus, lettuce. Just so good! This is one of our go to orders in the neighborhood when we don't want to do any cooking! We either order through delivery apps or we go there and our order pick up. The owner is always so pleasant. We haven't dined-in yet, but the restaurant itself is casual, spacious, clean, and presentable. Street parking is available.

The sides were just as impressive: the rice and bulgur were delicious, especially paired with the grilled tomato and pepper. The pita came out warm and fresh, which made everything even better.

Red can't have the onions and the attendant faithfully picked out the meat and packed her gyro to the hilt, and then a couple of generous scoops on mine. We both ask for some white sauce. That and two drinks only set us back 25 bucks and change. Considering the fullness of the sandwiches, we can't complain. The sandwich is so full we need the provided forks to pick up all the meat that falls out. There is just no easy way to eat it, and that is what makes it great. Fair price for a full sandwich. It's my fault I didn't get ketchup and other sauces to enhance the flavor. Definitely worth a try. I look forward to returning.

Place was bustling on a weekday afternoon. Most pick up experiences are pretty mundane and not memorable, you get your food and go.
