    First off, they let you sample ALL the proteins Next if your new they will just create a bowl for you with your permission Lastly ALL the proteins were phenomenal like you really can't go wrong but that seasoned beef I promise you, I'm smuggling some back next trip! I got the jerk chicken, DELIGHTFUL Even their rice is good for NO reason But the beef. The seasoning, ok I'm in love but again all the proteins were great there's really no bad choice I let the young women just create a bowl for me and the flavors CHEFS KISS They were out of falafel which booo! Churros were FANTASTIC! Yes yes worth the drive!

    I really enjoyed this place. The workers are really nice and let you try the different meat options. I tried the sumac chicken and the seasoned beef - both were great. Toppings seemed very fresh. My bowl with the sumac chicken came out to $16 and was enough for two meals

    Was just nearby and found this place for lunch. Not much seating indoors but they had a lot of picnic tables outside. They let me tried all the meats before making my choice. Basically a halal guys version of chipotle. I ordered a rice and a salad bowl the lamb with white and chipotle pepper sauce. So good. I got my son the tenders and fries and fries are battered fries, my favorite. Staff were incredibly nice and helpful.

    I got the Musakhan chicken burrito and it was delicious! I ate it all in one sitting cause it was that good lol. Shoutout to Kareem for serving me! Oh and thanks for the cheese crust suggestion, it definitely makes the burrito much tastier!

    TLDR: Lamb gyro is so good and try the churros Really happy to have Halal Papi in Allen. From the moment we walked in to when we walked out, the experience was good. They really take care of you and make sure you have a good experience. Solid New York-style halal with big flavors: all meat selections and the rice are well-seasoned, the lamb gyro was my personal favorite, and everything tastes fresh. Even the fries were on point. They also have a great spicy sauce, so I definitely recommend asking for it if you like heat. It really brings the bowl together. Service was smooth and the wait wasn't long at all. Overall, I'm impressed and will definitely be back. The churros were a nice finish, and I would recommend getting that too! One of the better NY-style halal spots in the Dallas area.

    Very fresh and very seasoned food! Everything was delicious! The guys working were very helpful and explained all our options and offered to let us try the meat before ordering. There's limited seating but the food was packaged well and made it the short trip home without getting sloshed around. 10/10 will definitely be back to try more combinations!

    Falafel burrito chock full of veggies and sauces

    I've been wanting to try this place out for a while but I only go by it on mondays when they're not open. Well today I happened to be nearby and decided to drop in. I'm a vegetarian and I'm always looking for nice vegetarian friendly places to try out. I was initially gonna get the falafel pita sandwich which is a staple for me at middle eastern restaurants until I saw that I could put the falafel in a number of different options including on rice, on loaded fries or even in a quesadilla. I settled on a falafel burrito cause it sounded eclectic to me. They piled this thing full of all the veggies I wanted and some tahini and hot sauce. For 14 bucks it was a pretty large, solid amount of food. But when I got home and actually bit into it I was blown away by how fresh and flavorful the veggies and rice were. It was a kaleidoscope of tastes and sensations as I attempted to take down this bad boy, while gobs of it fell out onto the to go container. I proceeded to scoop those all up as well, leaving nothing behind. I wouldn't say that it's a particularly good dining experience if you're looking for a place to sit in and eat at, but the food was outrageously good and worth taking home to enjoy.

    Everything we had was delicious! They have several meat options - all unique and highly flavorful. Incredible value - while portions are shrinking everyday this place stands out for full bowls. Definitely get any sauce they suggest to you. It's special to have this level of quality in a convenience food. Staff were friendly and offered samples of all the meat options - definitely take the offer. Limited seating, but fun mural inside.

    I got the piata with fries and wow the portion was so big! they were so friendly and after letting them know it was my first time they let us sample all the different proteins. the food was so good i will definitely be coming back if I am in the area

    We will be back! Wow! We went in for lamb gyros and fries (and rice). Everything was super delicious, and we loved that everything was easily customizable. The staff were great about making recommendations when I asked. The fries are battered, so they are SUPER crispy. I loved the mural on the wall - I love when restaurants use local artists. We also got to chat with the owner and hear about how they got started. I'll be back!

    here's what you need to know: this place has great meat, great carb, sauce, veg options, and does not skimp on portions at ALL. the rest should be self explanatory. visited for the first time with my family for new years eve and they took great care of us. really appreciate the walk through of the menu and the sampler to figure out what meat(s) i wanted. i ended up rolling with a 2 meat bowl, house chicken & jerk chicken. this jerk chicken is legit. absolutely love it and would highly recommend. all in all, you customize your bowl similarly to chipotle or cava and they're putting those big names to shame for the values and flavors the deliver here. also, note that technically this place could be considered an NYC halal + mexican? fusion (the also offer taco and quesadilla options with their meats) will definitely be coming back, can't recommend enough. quick touch on ambiance, there's 4 indoor seats and 2 outdoor tables, so you might wanna take out if it's a busy day, but the place is clean and nice inside, w upbeat music and fun art. overall: 10/10 price: 10/10 (more the chipotle but you get some great servings of meat and other premium items) l taste: 10/10 i'm gonna be a regular here.

    Don't forget to save room for these decadent churro bites.

    Saw this place on my way to a taqueria. Decided to give it a try. I am sure happy I did. Just picture Chipotle but with Halal food. Build your own rice bowl, tacos or burrito. The meat options are great and the spices are on point. Everything was fresh and super tasty. I will be back regularly I'm sure. P.S. very generous with their meats. And they will give you a sampler of all the meats if you haven't been before.

    This place is a rip off. Prices skyrocketed after the grand opening. 4% processing fee on orders and unfairly priced drinks.

I think we met the owner who explained the menu, what a genuine lady. When placing our order the menu was very well explained to us. My friend came wanting to try fufu but is not a fan of fish. We were told to order other dishes and they would let her try the fufu (thankfully we did this). The meals were so flavorful; the chicken was tender, the beef delicious, excellent seasoned rice, very good plantains. Make sure to get the watermelon juice! Can't wait to come try more dishes here.

My husband and I had been here before and we got the noodles with the omelette to go because they were out of the Jollof rice. I remember that we were fighting over that noodles. Fast forward to today, I was craving some good flavor so I recalled this place and put in an order for peri-peri chicken bowl for my husband and salmon Jollof rice bowl for me with a side of plantain. It took a while for my husband to get used to the smokiness of the Jollof but as soon as we got acclimated to the flavor, oh my goodness... I can finally understand why they ran out of this darn Jollof rice the last time we came. The Jollof rice is the star of the dish! Granted our chicken and salmon was good, but the Jollof rice takes the podium here. The rice is perfectly cooked and my mouth is still having a flavor party. We would definitely be taking family and friends to this spot!
