Having lived away from NYC for 12 years I have still yet to find a decent halal kart style over rice on the west coast (the commercialized corporate-owned Halal Guys is far from decent). While visiting NY this time, I tried Halal Munchies on my parents' suggestion and it blew me away. I ordered the mixed (chicken and lamb) over rice. For sides, they give the option to choose 2 between fries, salad or hummus. What sets them apart from the red "spicy" rice. While not spicy at all, it is pretty damn tasty. While their red sauce leaves a little to be desired (it has a slightly off-putting vinegary taste and not very spicy), their green sauce is amazing with its zesty cilantro and mint taste! All that cost me only $11, while Halal Guys is over here charging $14+ for a platter and nickel and dimes us for sauce packets. I classify Halal Munchies as a must eat when visiting NY! read more

Terrible customer service. I recently placed an order through Seamless, and it went through successfully. When I arrived, I was told they had an internet outage and refused to make my food. I showed them my receipt on my phone as proof of purchase, but they still wouldn't honor the order. Instead, they told me to contact Seamless to cancel it and then pay again in-store. Completely unacceptable experience. I won't be ordering from here again. read more

Great establishment! Everyone was friendly and professional. So much so, that I had to ask for the employee's name to make this review. Haron Aisha Mohammed thank you for your professionalism and the good food. read more

Reliable and tasty! I love the chopped cheese from here as well. The kiosk makes it easy to visualize the various options and easily order/pay, and the inside is always clean and bright. read more

Halal munchies has been our go to when we want a quick, cheap, reliably satisfying meal. I always get the combo with salad and humus (the fries get soggy when you get it to go). I never regret getting halal munchies and love that they're open late. read more

I really love that they're open late. Service is quick and the food comes out fast. The chicken is tender, and the lamb is seasoned perfectly. I love that the combo plate comes with fries!!! it really sets it apart from the standard plates you get at the cart. The salad is also great because it's more than just lettuce - there's tomatoes, cucumber, etc., Such a great spot to get Halal. read more

the food was great!! the service was great!! and we loved the restauranta aesthetic/ambiance!!

I liked the chicken and the rice and the drink tasted great. I will definitely be coming back again to eat more.

A good, bang for your buck halal spot. I recommend the lamb and chicken combo platter that came with a drink (pictured). I ordered side of seasoned fries(pictured), but to my surprise, fries actually came inside the combo platter too. The buffalo wings were also tasty (pictured). Service was ok, had to wait about 10 minutes for the food because of all the Uber pick ups etc. Ambiance was ok, they do have chairs to sit and enjoy. Tip- Perfect for a late night snack as they open until 1am! read more

Halal Munchies - Mix Combo Over Rice Platter - Halal Near Me - Fresh Meadows, New York

All fresh food... gigantic portions... great service... 5 stars... the food comes out super fast & they even offer a student discount... all at a fair cost read more

Big portions, fast service. I ordered the lamb and kofta over rice. There was a rancid oil taste to the meat and fries that was off putting.

I have ordered here several times and it has been great. Unfortunately, today we ordered the combo plate and a Chicken Gyro. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE. Even bit into a chicken bone. I refuse to order anything from there again. read more

Food is fine. I felt the chicken did not have much flavor. Fries were good. Great BOGO deal on Uber eats for when you're strapped for time to cook throughout the week. Fast service! read more

I've got to give 5 stars when it's due. Every time I've been in the area craving Halal food, Halal Munchies has never let me down. And that's usually when I'm in Queens visiting my folks and I can't sleep.. even though it's midnight. They also greet meet with a smile and are not shy when it comes to portions. I'm talkin' heaps of rice, meat, salad and french fries... yes french fries! The hot sauce is tasty (my mouth is watering right now thinking about it) and the white sauce really helps keep temps under control. Can't go wrong at Halal Munchies; give em a try, you won't regret it. read more

I been here a few times and never disappointed. You have to try the chopped cheese, it's massive! And totally worth it! Also the gyro here are delicious! Everything is fresh and will always come back for more. read more

Would give this place 0 stars if i could. Ordered through uber eats, what a waste of time and money. I'm actually mad at myself that i paid for this. The whole order tasted expired my kids were disappointed. It made them sick to their stomach. The rice and chicken was so dry and raw, I couldn't believe what i was tasting. Nothing was cooked right, all of it was flavorless hands down the worst food experience i had in a while. The cooks need to be arrested. This place is a disgrace a slap in the face to anyone who has ever loved good quality food. If you enjoy trash this spot is for you. Congrats Halal Munchies you won. i won't be coming back here ever because nothing here is worth coming back for. Nasty food. Do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else guys. read more

These guys are great! I ordered the platter and for 10.99 you get so much that it can be had in two meals and it's so tasty! You get everything, protein, carbs, snacks, salads, sauces, other sides and a drink! That's absolutely crazy! And it's not like a small place, it actually looks pretty good! They also offer some rewards and it's totally worth it. Would love to have food from there because it is just so good! Absolutely advice everyone to go or order from here. read more

This has to be my favorite location. The staff was friendly and fast. We were coming in for a quick bite so it was ideal how quick our food came out! The mixed over rice is always a favorite. The fries were fresh and crispy and definitely made the platter taste better! read more

Halal Munchies offers very good halal cart food that is a bit expensive for the category, but worth it. We often get the "Mix Combo Over Rice" Platter ($7.99 plus tax) -- a combination of chicken and lamb over rice, with Cajun fries and a small salad. The platter is larger here than at nearby competitors, and packed with food. The flavors here seem slightly more vibrant than at nearby competitors. I like how thimbles of white sauce, green sauce, and red sauce are available upon request at no extra charge. However, the fries often aren't as warm as the rest of the platter. We also like the Philly Cheesesteak. The Chicken Cheesesteak uses the same chicken from the rice platters, in sandwich form. Prices are lower for those ordering in-person and paying with cash, as opposed to ordering online or paying with credit / debit cards. read more

The food is amazing. My fav is chicken over rice with the fries and hummus. I went to the store one day and asked to make me a good protein meal and Gayathri suggested me to have hummus and fries on the side and it wassss amazinggggggggg. Thank you for your suggestion. read more

Been buying from here again. The place has good fast food and my kids love it there too. It's a nice little spot and it's healthy food in good portions. Can't complain. read more

Wow!!! The quality of this location really went down. I have been coming to this location since before the pandemic. Use to be my favorite halal spot in Queens. First of all, the portion size are much smaller now. They use a smaller container. Obviously the price went up due to inflation but they are giving less too. One order use to feed me for two meals.. Today the quality of everything went down. I ordered maybe last week and the quality was still decent... The humus was not blend long enough so it's very gritty. I was looking forward to their creamy hummus. So disappointed. The lamb was cut in huge chunks compare to the smaller pieces they use to cut them. The rice was mushy!!! The salad was also diced in huge chunks too along with the really wet lettuce... what is going on??? Is it because I ordered at a late hour? Or the cooks tonight were different? I am so disappointed.... Was a gem... not sure I'll be coming back until they fix the quality.. read more

great food, have been coming here since it first opened and and the food is still fantastic. Great service As well.

I love Halal Munchies! Inside there are tables to come in and sit which is nice. I have had their combo over rice with fries and their salad as well. I love the salad more than the fried due to the fact that the hummus and fresh veggies make the halal super creamy. Its very worth for the amount you get and the price! Not the best flavor but still a prime place to get your halal fix! read more

Halal Munchies - Mix Combo Over Rice Platter - Halal Near Me - Fresh Meadows, New York

My friends and I ordered take out from here and let me tell you, it was so good and the fries were still crispy! You'd expect they'd get soggy because of the condensation that occurs in a hot container. Maybe I was starving that day but the food was so friggin good and it was a huge portion. My friend mentioned that the falafels were made fresh and cooked on the spot, flavor wise it was a 3.5. I got the combo over rice with extra white sauce, the meat was flavored perfectly and the rice had a really nice cinnamon flavor, more than some other places that I've had a combo over rice from. But if you don't like a strong cinnamon flavor maybe this rice isn't for you. The hummus was flavored well and I wish we ordered more pita to eat with the hummus, haha. I am definitely going to order there again and I regret that I waited so long to try it read more

Halal Munchies - Chicken Over Rice Platter Combo Gyro - Halal Near Me - Fresh Meadows, New York

Great place to go for halal food! We have been regulars here for 2 years now, and this place never disappoints. I have had my share of halal carts, and this place is legit. They have the same great taste, and also have the cleanliness of a restaurant store-front. I would highly recommend the Mix Combo Over Rice Platter. It comes with chicken and gyro on a bed of rice, covered in their delicious sauces (white and barbecue), as well as sides of salad and hummus or fries. Definitely get the fries! They will pack the container to the brim, and it always leaves me full. I can even split it into 2 meals. The price has increased a bit over time, but still a great deal! The group of guys who work here are very nice and friendly. The food gets prepared in no time at all. Great place for a quick take out, but they also have lots of tables if you want to dine in. They are also open during the COVID-19 lock-down for pick-up, so make sure to check this place out. read more

This spot....well.... We picked up chicken over rice with hummus and some buffalo wings. Didn't really care for their wings. Breaded a bit too much... Chicken with the white and green sauce was pretty good. The hummus... Yeah not so great. My local halal cart makes it better and for less. Plus the food turned our stomachaches... I didn't need a cleanse lol lighting a candle in the bathroom wasn't enough after eating this... We had to crack open windows and get the fan on high... read more

My wife had an appointment upstairs from the restaurant. So I decided to fry something new. Place was clean, with plenty of foot traffic. It's on a strip of 164st, with a hair salon, marshal arts center, and a pizzeria. The food was ok, I ordered three items, came up to $30. Good portions tho. Everything cooked to order. read more

Good place for takeout! We ordered from Door Dash today and the order arrived promptly. We ordered two combo plates, one with hummus and one with fries. It arrived with the meat covered in white sauce. They also included one extra small container of white sauce and red sauce (win!). I really liked the hummus and salad. The hummus was not salty (like one reviewer notes below), and the texture was not too watery nor thick. Not sure if the platters were supposed to come with pita but we didn't get any in our takeout bag. Would've been nice to have to dip in the hummus but oh well. The French fries were seasoned and crispy. The salad was my favorite part! Tasted really fresh and not soggy. Was not seasoned or dressed, which is what I preferred. Next time I will probably ask for lamb/chicken over just salad. The rice was just all right, nothing special. Overall a solid spot and definitely will be ordering from here next time. On their Instagram the burgers also look pretty amazing. read more

Love this place and im not from NYC lol. I always eat here a few times when I visit from out of town. Usually get the mixed plate (chicken and lamb) with hummus. Extra white sauce (helps to "cool" it down some.) The folks in there seems pretty chill too. You know how it is when you super hungry at 3 am and you just finished clubbing? This the spot to hit after, for real. read more

Halal Munchies - and - Halal Near Me - Fresh Meadows, New York

I ventured out to this spot on a Friday afternoon as I finished early from my work. There are metered parking in front of the business place. I went in, immediately noticed all the lighted signboard on the food they offer and the prices, letterings are large and easy to read which makes it a breeze to order. They keep the place clean. Staff is quick in welcoming costumers, are attentive on who has not yet ordered, and then takes your order. I ordered lamb over rice with fries. They are systematic on the process of preparing the ordered food, you get it fast and quick. I just noticed that their prices here are a little bit higher as compared to other halal places. Rice and meat are flavorful but lesser than what I am used to, they compensate it with fries. I like the small amount of veggies that comes with it, they cut the cucumber, tomatoes and lettuce into small pieces which gives the food a nice texture when eaten. Fries are good and crispy. The hot sauce is better than the other halal places that I have tried. They give extra sauces that you prefer which is in small containers (a plus). All in all my experience was good, a good option when you want a different halal place than where you are used to. read more
