    I was excited to try this place because I've been craving halal food. I got the falafel platter and was disappointed- the rice was a bit crunchy and the only vegetables in my platter were 2 peppers and a bit of lettuce. The pictures online show other items in the platter such as tomatoes, onions, and pita bread which was misleading. I also wish the portion sizes were slightly larger. However, I enjoyed flavors of the falafels and sauces and the people working the cart were also very friendly.

    Truly a taste of New York in Pittsburgh! Granted it's not the same but it's a refreshing look for our campus! My friends and I shared two COMBO PLATTERS. The combo platter included chicken, lamb, and salad. It was a good amount of food, filling and tasty. I especially liked the lamb and white sauce!! The price is also aMAzInG!!! The platter is only $6.99. Sadly, it was just one man running the whole truck so the line became pretty backed up. Because of how busy it was he forgot to give us hot sauce, but he was super efficient and friendly!! Will definitely return in the future when I'm craving halal food and low in funds!

    Wish I could give this place 10 stars! By far no joke the best food I have ever had delivered to me. I'm usually a regular at Aladin Eatery, Salonikas or Saleems but Halal has just taken over the number one spot. The chicken and lambo combo is absolutely stellar and the white sauce is like a drug lol. The meat was super seasoned and very tender. The chicken was more of like pulled chicken (which I prefer) and was also super flavorful. WARNING! Be careful with the hot sauce they have because it is the real deal. I will be ordering from them at least once a week now.

    I found this gem back in December 2019, and I can now proudly call myself a regular. As someone who lived in New York City for five years and have had plenty of 53rd and 6th Halal Guys, I can vouch for these guys doing an excellent job in serving their customers with great tasting food. The service is also quick and efficient. I have met John, Karim, and Herbert since I order usually during the daytime. All three gentlemen are hardworking professionals who ensure they get the order right and are respectful to everyone. I can attest to the great quality of the lamb and chicken platters because they're my go-to orders. You will not be disappointed with any of their food. Honestly I recommend getting both the red and white sauces for the full, authentic experience; the white sauce definitely checks out if you're familiar with NYC's Halal Guys' platters. Also the order you place generally comes with a beverage of your choosing. The meat is halal which is the most important quality. It is freshly prepared and cooked with care. The rice is what takes the platter to another level. The vegetables served on the side add a fresh component to balance the meat, rice, and sauce. As a current student now, I make it a goal to have these guys' platters on a weekly basis; sometimes if I'm feeling bold I get it multiple times during the week. I always post pictures of these platters to my IG stories, and I tell my classmates to try this place. More of the Yinzburgh natives ought to try this place out. It is an excellent value meal!

    Seriously words cannot describe the greatness in every bite :) if you haven't tried it you are missing out

    As soon as my friends and I heard about this food cart we were filled with excitement. This has been our longest dream filling up on NYC style Halal Food in Pittsburgh. I am from NYC and grew up with these carts all over the city. The best meal deal for a college student like myself!! Exceptional Quality, Great Service.. Most of my friends agreed that the Platters & Gyros tasted better than the ones we have had in NYC. Honestly I'm craving a platter as I write this review. I will deffinately be a repeat customer.

    Chicken and lamb combo
    Eva R.

    Was very excited to try this food cart as Pittsburgh does not have any halal food carts. I had the chicken and lamb combo, which was about $7. I also had the spicy and white sauce put on. The guy was nice and gave us each a falafel while we waited for our food. The chicken and lamb combo was good, but nothing out of this world. I was hoping for more flavor from either the meat, sauces, or rice, but it tasted pretty lackluster. I also thought the portion could have been more. The box was not really stuffed and I easily finished it in one sitting. I was thinking how a chipotle bowl is around the same price yet much more filling. Overall, nice and quick food option in the Oakland area if looking for Halal food.

    Deluxe combo platter
    Sabrina C.

    I was excited to try this place and went on a Saturday evening. The line was pretty long but the 3 guys working were very apologetic about the wait and were all very friendly. I ordered the combo platter ($7) and made it deluxe (+$2) and the guys working made sure my box was packed with meat. The meats were very tasty and I got a lot of food for the price. I was a bit disappointed by the "deluxe" part of the meal, however, as the extra $2 went towards about 3 fries, a few bites of pita, and 1 piece of falafel. Next time I will probably skip the deluxe, as you get a lot of food already without it. I also recommend asking for a lot of white sauce. The meats are well marinated, but you can also ask for the red sauce if you want a bit more of a kick. Overall, I had a good experience and will likely be back for more halal food!

    This place is gross. No flavor to the chicken or the rice. The food is overpriced, and you barely get anything. I do not recommend.

    Very poor. Ordered lamb gyro and lamb over rice. Neither barely had any meat. No napkins or utensils provided either.

    Food is really good, but portion sizes are wayyyy too small. I ate a whole combo and I'm still hungry,, and I have a small appetite.

I got…read morethe raspberry mocha and I have no other way to describe it than graeter's berry chocolate chip ice cream. I think we came at a kind of off time of day because the pretzels were cold and kind of hard, but they still tasted good and the dips were what we expected. I'd suggest making a trip towards the beginning of the day!

    Amazing pretzels!!!…read more Super friendly and polite customer service with warm, comforting pretzels and the most amazing dips ever. In addition to being organic and vegan I also appreciate the fact that they aren't too salty like many other soft pretzels are. These pretzels also reheat well in the toaster oven which is great when you are already stuffed but want to take a pretzel to go. I especially recommend the cinnamon butter dip which has a very unique flavor. I've never had anything like it. It is reminiscent of cinnamon ice cream in texture and flavor without actually being cold or too sweet. You also don't mind using a lot of it as it is light and fluffy in mouthfeel.  They must never take the tasty cinnamon butter away!!! They also have a tasty mustard dip which is a condiment I often recommend to people as a Dietitian due to its many health benefits. As the only local pretzel place in Pittsburgh to serve both organic and vegan pretzels this is the *perfect* vendor to any local party you are having - particularly events that have the need to be vegan and/or organic as people become increasingly concerned with their health and the environment. I highly recommend contacting Connor today or ordering a pretzel from him if you see his pretzels at an event! :)

We took a nice ride from the North Hills and ended up in a very small restaurant (read: reservations are highly encouraged). We ate outside and had Korean BBQ. The side dishes were authentic, the staff was warm. You didn't feel like a customer - it felt like you were visiting your aunt's house (if your aunt was born and raised in Korea :) We absolutely loved our evening and we will be coming back.

    Both the food and beer deserves more than a 3, but hear me out…read more I love Korean food. I have actually made my own authentic Kimchi (with the fermented shrimp!) and we love places like this, ie Nakwon Garden, Golden Pig, etc. Beer: It's all pretty much the same when it comes to NeIPA and IPA and Hazy etc. Slightly different flavor profiles and viscosities. I enjoyed the HazyWumpus because it had a cleaner finish than the Space Cactus. My wife got the sours. I don't like sours but tasted them and they tasted as expected. Bartender served us. She spent most of her time behind the bar but did pay attention to our needs just fine. Food: I had the "Korean KFC" wings ($13 for 6 deep fried wings), they were crunchy. In fact, the chef's husband/owner came to our table (without really introducing himself, we had to ask) while we were ordering to "tell us what he tells everybody" that the first bite should be without the sauces to experience just the crunch. Yes, it was crunchy. Thanks for the tip. Not sure it was necessary. Write it on the menu. I can be sociable but it felt so random. Again, I think it's because where they seated us, we're a focal point. I preferred the gochujang sauce my wife liked the other garlic sesame. I felt like the garlic sesame had a very bitter after flavor. My wife had BiBimBap (chose beef) with Dolsot ($17+$2) it was good I had two bites. I got the K-SMASH Burger. It was good, but admittedly the patties were dry. I suspect maybe they don't smash it with onions? Not sure. They used a white cheese. The pickles and kimchi on it tasted good. Overall not a bad burger, but it was vertically large and very narrow horizontally if that makes sense. I believe I counted 20ish fresh cut fries, it was not that much. I would have expected something more akin to what you would get at one of many places around this part of the state that serve you such things. They were good though, don't get me wrong. The burger's kimchi dripped out all over them and that only enhanced them further, and I dipped them in my retained gochujang sauce from the wings and they went well together. They should offer that as an option, I never touched the vinegar or ketchup I was offered. If they had doubled up on the fries, it would have been much better in my mind. Don't skimp on those! For $16 I deserve too many. Everything was served on metal plates with metal chopsticks and we were given forks and napkins. Service: Did not have a reservation. Apparently to have KBBQ you need a reservation most of the time. KBBQ starts at $29. These prices may change in the future I'm sure. Upon arriving at the place, things were very confusing. You must park in Sprankles and there is no way to enter the parking lot near the eatery. We had to turn around and won't make the mistake in the future, but that's the brakes. Anyway, once we arrived there was an outdoor area in a heated tent, and an indoor area with an open window. We went to the indoor area and the food service was in the back near the kitchen inside of a window with its own register. We were asked several times if we had a reservation, it was jumbled but there were three empty tables. We were given the one in the center of the room near the bar. I didn't love it, but we took it. Look, the place is very small. I get that for some legal reason you have to keep your food separate to your beer because its two distinct businesses I assume. Grist House is a well known brand and we're giving it a chance etc. The chef did come out and say "Everything tasting good?" and then left us alone. She spoke with someone nearby for quite a while, probably her personal friend. That's fine. We, again, felt overwhelmed where we were sitting. For example, I was telling a story after our meal had finished and I was still finishing my second beer, when I was immediately interrupted during the first sentence about the bill. I just don't think that person needed to do that. It was not our original server, but someone we had never interacted with prior. I felt like a good waiter/waitress would simply hang back and wait for the right time, this was not it. It was nowhere near closing time, with no one coming in, so what is the rush? We were happy to get the bill but I mean right at that moment ??? Then we were derailed again by the bar bill showing up, and yada ya. I really believe the staff needs to go a little lighter on that central table. The following morning I am for an unknown reason nauseated. I had a headache when I woke up, I am not 100% sure it's their fault but it's been some hours and I've had a small bland breakfast, yet I'm still feeling sick. Their food is in my fridge and has a strange odor. A lot of Korean sides are fermented, perhaps there's something going on with that, or maybe I'm just crazy. Anyway, given the ambiance, limited seating availability, that it is 30 minutes away from us, we might be back, but not sure
