Randomly found this spot and so glad we did! Food was amazing and everything was made fresh. The hummus was smooth and garlicky. The mix combo plate was delicious with great tasting lamb and well seasoned chicken. The garlic sauce was awesome and we wish we had more of it. And the Afghani wrap was stuffed with fries, lamb, and pickled vegetables, so good! Great place and will definitely be a place we frequent from now on! read more

I've read many glowing reviews about this place, so I stopped in the next chance I had. The food menu was very easy to read , not too busy, and for sure affordable pricing. I am currently doing high protien, which means most carbs are out. I ordered a chicken skewer only, and that came to around $10-$12. That gave me SF pricing vibes. I said I needed my food real soon , and it didn't come out until I asked the wait person to please go check if it was ready yet. The wait person however was very polite . The interior is very clean and laid out well: quite spacious. My chicken skewer ended up coming with a side pita/tortilla type of bread , so there is a value for someone trying to save on money if carbs were also allowed in your diet. read more

I've been here 3 times now and the food is always top notch. Everything is fresh and very delicious. No matter if you are getting chicken or beef kabobs, lamb over rice, eggplant, or even fries. Everything is always very good. Customer service is also amazing. I spoke with the owner tonight as they were out of eggplant and he made sure I was happy with a choice of substitution. He also gave me some of the babaghanoush to try since I love the eggplant dish. Everything is well seasoned and delicious. It's also a cute place inside. They've decorated nicely. I highly recommend you try this gem. read more

Portions were generous, and my chicken kebob had a nice char taste but still very juicy. The garlic sauce and hummus were very tasty. My only complaint was wanting more pita bread, lol!

I came here after a Sunday noon swim workout craving middle eastern food. The place is located in a small strip mall across from Folsom town hall. When I heard they are an Afghani restaurant I was excited because I love the flavor and seasoning of Afghani food. I got the Combo Kabob with lamb and chicken. They were perfectly prepared and tender and complimented well with the fresh salad, humus and side sauces. I also loved the baklava which was small sized but very moist and satisfying. The server was very friendly and explained they are constructing an oven to prepare their bread in the future. I will return soon! read more

This has become one of my lunchtime go-tos. Really excellent fresh tasting food made with care. I love their wraps with grilled meat or falafel and their tasty sauces which you can get in mild, medium or spicy. Wraps are made with thin lavash flatbread, which is hard to find around here. The lavash tastes fresh and the wrap is given a nice grilling before it is served. Their Afghani wrap has french fries in it too, which is a great complement to the meat, sauce and veggies. read more

I serendipitously came across this restaurant by chance. I ordered the combo kabob dinner and it was so delicious!! Definitely a 5 star food offering. The humus was fresh, the rice and salad was perfect. The lamb was super tender and the chicken was juicy. It's my understanding that the restaurant has only been open for a year and was previously a food truck. Service was also great. Regarding, the ambiance, the restaurant is going through some remodeling and I'm looking forward to seeing the result of this transition. Thank you. read more

The rice has a warm spice that easily classifies it as comfort food. They are remodeling & updating the space each time we visit & the food is great!

I get gas at the station just across the street where this spot is. After reading Yelp reviews we were not walking, but running there! It was a quiet week day evening; we were quickly helped. Owner did let us know it would be about 15-20 minutes because of the kabob and everything is made to order. We definitely don't mind time for quality! When he brought out the plate, I swear we might've both drooled a bit just from the aroma. The flavors of the meat, rice, hummus, fresh salad + light olive/vinegar oil dressing was just such a lovely taste bud experience! We also tried a few different kinds of baklavas + Turkish Delights to top it all off. This place will be frequented by us! read more

All of the 5 Star Reviews are here for a reason!!!. The Lamb wrap is beyond good!. This is the best of that type of food in the whole area. It is right across the street from City Hall in Folsom, so it is easy to find. You really cannot go wrong if you have a hankering for donor kebab or similar type of food. The wrap is crunchy and the tzatziki sauce is great. It looks like they do a huge takeout business. You really cannot go wrong with this place. Support excellent food! Patronize it. read more

This restaurant had great Google reviews and the Few Yelp reviews were also wonderful even though there were not a lot. We decided to give it a shot because it looked so good. We made the right decision. We were greeted and when we placed our order informed it would take a little bit to grill our items, which we did not mind. Every bite was delicious. The rice by itself was even flavored perfectly. I'm very glad I got the combo because while the lamb of course did not disappoint, the chicken was so tender and delicious also. The sauces, hummus and even the vinaigrette on the salad was delicious. More people need to go give this restaurant a try because they will be back. read more

So delicious! Loved the food so much here, the afghan wrap was the best i've had, both chicken and beef are delicious. the plate was also really good, hummus was fresh, rice was yummy, and chicken was cooked to perfection, and lamb had no bad smell like some restaurants do. Service was also bit slow (came with 9 people so had large order) but still the owner was nice and service was very good, he came and asked multiple times if he could get us anything. Store is tucked away from central folsom, near the library. I'm very confident it would be a very popular spot if more people knew about this place! read more

Music wasn't too loud, Tables were relatively clean for a Thursday afternoon and Service was very good. I noticed the guys working on the food after we order, I had no idea it was made it order. That's absolutely amazing. It takes a few minutes, however the food is soooo worth it. The buns are Martins Potato Buns and of course, being Martins they're super tasty! A lot of High end chains use Martins so naturally, I was happy to see the brand. (These buns stay together but when sauced they like to slide and that's how I could tell it was Martins! After our food, we were able to get lids and to-go boxes just by asking the gentleman working there. I think his name was Andrew if I remember correctly. There's a small crew working here that is very nice and hard working. I've never once seen any big issues here and the food is pretty consistent. There are some small changes here and there, but the food overall is very good compared to other restaurants. This place isn't even a chain and it's super tasty. I wish they were closer to where I live because I would end up eating here 2-3 days a week. It sucks my daughter can't have this food otherwise I'm sure she'd love this one too. She has a peanut allergy, and they do use peanut oil as I asked the last time I came here. (do your due diligence and make sure you ask about allergens if you are allergic to peanuts) They do in fact, use Peanut oil. If you want some good food, This is a place to try. I've been here a couple of times already. Don't expect this place to be your typical fast food. They're not your average fast food because if anything, it is fast casual. Service is very well. I can't imagine Andrew having a single bad bone in his body. If you want cheap frozen ready to go food, this is not the place. If you want something made to order, then this is your jam. Only thing I can mention: Soda selection is smaller than usually used to when I eat outside of home. Honorary Mention: Service is killer dude's an Angel.

The noodles in the pad Thai were cooked perfectly with a tangy sauce and the added peanuts gave a nice textural crunch. The sweetness of the coconut rice paired PERFECTLY with the spicy beef.

The beef and lamb tasted a bit drier and very cumin heavy but overall delicious. We finished off with honey cake and tea. I loved the cake-- layered with a light creme and naturally sweetened by the honey. It paired well with their strong and fragrant black tea.

The meat was seasoned nicely but the cheese was so THIN! I saw that it was there but couldn't really taste it. The bun was soft and fluffy and held up pretty well to the double patties. The fries were hot and crispy with skin on. Ordered at the counter and the service was straight forward. The restaurant was clean, large and had lots of windows. I found the music a bit too loud for my taste. That's because I'm on my phone and it competes for things I'm more interested in than 80s music. Overall solid burger and fries spot.

I'd come back for takeout if I was in the area.

We stopped by Halal Grill Express on a whim and wow--what a delicious surprise! It definitely has that "hole-in-the-wall" vibe, but don't let that fool you. The food here is legit. I ordered the chicken wrap and was immediately impressed. The wrap itself was thin and crispy, almost like it had a perfect pan-fried finish. The chicken inside was moist, flavorful, and packed with spices. The red onions added just the right amount of tang and crunch. Portion-wise, it was generous--chicken was literally spilling out of the wrap (in the best way possible). My husband got the lamb rice plate, and that was equally impressive. The lamb was soft, well-seasoned, and tender, paired with fluffy rice and a refreshing side salad that balanced everything out. The sauces on the side were a great bonus--perfect for dipping or drizzling over everything. There weren't many people there when we went, but honestly, this place deserves way more attention. Easy parking, too, which is always a win. We'll definitely be back. read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Halal! From the moment we walked in it has such a warm, inviting atmosphere that immediately makes you feel comfortable. I ordered the chicken kabob plate and it was absolutely amazing. The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. It came with rice, hummus on the side, and a garlic sauce -- and every single item on the plate was delicious. The rice was fluffy and seasoned just right, the hummus was smooth and fresh, and the garlic sauce truly took everything to the next level. My husband ordered the lamb and chicken plate, and he couldn't stop talking about how good it was. The lamb was especially delicious -- juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. On top of the incredible food, the service was amazing. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! read more

Just had a fantastic lunch at Halal .The lamb kebab was incredibly flavorful - perfectly prepared and cooked to tender perfection. The portion size was generous, and the sides of fresh salad good fries were delicious accompaniments. They have a great selection of homemade sauces, and I particularly loved the creamy garlic sauce. The restaurant itself has a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the service was top-notch. The owner was friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. Overall, a fantastic dining experience! This is definitely a new favorite, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious and authentic kebabs. read more

Undoubtedly the best halal restaurant in Folsom, this spot surpasses all others in the area. Having tried numerous halal options, none compare to the amazing quality found here. The chicken rice plate boasts incredible flavor, with fresh, savory chicken and a uniquely delicious salad. The hummus is very fresh as well. Moreover, the owner's friendly and helpful demeanor adds to the overall experience. I highly recommend stopping by and giving this place a try because you won't be disappointed! read more

Absolutely blown away by this hidden gem! I walked in with no expectations, but the food completely exceeded anything I could've imagined. The Afghani wrap, whether you go with chicken or lamb is an absolute must-try. Packed with bold, rich flavors and a perfect balance of textures, it's the kind of dish that stays with you long after the last bite. Friendly service and a welcoming vibe only added to the experience. I'll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommended! read more

This restaurant is absolutely delicious! The service is a little slow, but that's good because the food is cooked fresh.

I recalled there was a Petra Greek in Folsom's Palladio shopping center. So off I go. The cashier was polite, and knowledgeable about the menu and food. The dining room had a lot of seating, and was kept neat 'n tidy. I got my to go order super quick. My Petra combination was yummy. Not the best ever, tasty nonetheless. The combo plate came with rice, Greek salad (which was big chunks of tomatoes & cucumbers with Kalamata olives, red onions and feta cheese) , chicken souvlaki, pork souvlaki, beeftekia, pita bread and choice of tzatziki or hummus. The chicken and pork were tender; the skewered meat was flame cooked giving a barbecued flavor. The beeftekia is a patty of ground pork and beef and spiced up. Very unique flavor. I couldn't decide on hummus or tzatziki so I ordered both for an extra $2. The Petra plate is alot of food, get ready to strap on the ole feed bag. With the quantity comes a higher price. $23.99. The extra sauce $2 might not seem to be a lot of money but for the itsy bitsy container, I thought it was pricey. I haven't been here in over a hot minute. As I was driving about looking for a parking space as if I were scouting for dry land from being lost at sea; I realize why it's been over a hot minute since my last visit. Finding parking is ruff. There are few spaces in front of the shops which the stars didn't align for any spots being open when I drove by. There is a parking garage and open lot but it's a walk in. I gave up on the parking garage after driving to the second floor and driving half way through, no available spaces. So I truck back out to the lot in front of Kirkland and See's. I walked in from there, along the way bopping about like frogger trying to cross the lot and crosswalk without getting hit.

If you're looking to satisfy a craving for Greek food then this place will hit the spot. I ordered…read morethe chicken gyro and it was stuffed with juicy, seasoned chicken, crunchy fries, veggies and tzatziki sauce. The pita was warm and fluffy and the tzatziki sauce was thick, smooth, and really refreshing! My friend order halloumi which I never had before and it was delicious. Then again, can you go wrong with cheese? The only thing I would not order again would be the chocolate baklava. It had a very strange aftertaste that I couldn't figure out. Overall, lots of food for a good price.

So, I took the bread and made a warm vegetable wrap. It was awesome. BTW... I'd come there just for the fries. Yeah... I know. Fries are fries. But I got a huge plate of fries. They really give you a good deal. So... I like McDonalds fries because they are crispy and always seem to have the right amount of saltiness. But you only get a small cardboard container of fries. Here... I think the fries are similar. Maybe it has garlic salt or some kind of salt with cilantro... I'm not sure. But the fries were crispy enough that I'd eat this huge plate of fries as I watch a late night movie. I came after my run, and I was very thankful that they didn't take issue with my sweaty shirt. The man behind the counter was very gracious. I didn't eat there, but the seating outside seems like a good place to hang out.

What a wonderful surprise!…read more I was in the mood for kebabs and headed to my usual spot, only to find it closed. Rather than give up, I decided to try this Afghan restaurant--and I am so glad I did! The lamb kebab was absolutely outstanding: tender, flavorful, and packed with spices that complemented the meat perfectly. Best of all, it wasn't overly salty, which allowed all of the rich flavors to shine through. The rice was equally impressive--perfectly cooked, beautifully seasoned, and delicious enough to enjoy all by itself. In fact, the food was so good that I've already ordered it twice! When I got home, I shared some with my parents. After just one taste, they immediately put away the dinner they had planned to make and asked for the restaurant's address. Before long, I was ordering delivery for them too. That's how good it is. It's not often that I discover a new favorite restaurant, but this place has absolutely earned that distinction. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Afghan cuisine, I highly recommend giving them a try. You may find yourself becoming a regular just like I plan to be! Thank you for such a wonderful meal. I'll definitely be back.
