We also got the fattoush salad which was very underdressed and the sizzling garlic chicken which was just too sweet and not worth $25. Overall just an okay experience.

I want to love this place because it's a small business in my area with good food. The review is…read morefor the service. They typically are understaffed which means they consistently underestimate how long it will take for the food to be done. We ordered over the phone- 4 meals- and were quoted about 30 mins. Got there around 30 mins and they said they needed another 20 minutes... took well over an hour after we called in to get the food. A similar situation has happened twice, so unfortunately we can't support this business as a reliable option. If you are ok with that style of customer service and have time to wait then this review isn't for you. Again this review isn't for the food, more for the customer experience.

THE HALAL SHACK @ SDSU…read more This spot is located in East Commons at SDSU. For parking, I'd recommend P1, P3, or P4. Just keep in mind that parking isn't free, so make sure to check the SDSU website for updated rates before you go. I've always enjoyed coming to this spot since my freshman year. Everything is super flavorful and seasoned well, and I love how most of the menu is high in protein. I usually get their rice bowl with chicken, and then you can add whatever toppings you want. It reminds me of a mix between Chipotle and CAVA, but with more of a Mediterranean, healthier twist. Their rice bowls are my favorite. You can also get fries and build a fry bowl, or you can make a build-your-own halal wrap. They have a lot of options, which I like. The staff isn't the friendliest, and every time I'm there it feels a bit rushed, like you have to know exactly what you want right away. The portions are decent, not overly big. I wouldn't recommend asking for extra anything unless you're okay with paying more, because they definitely charge for every add-on. One thing that's a little annoying is that you can't get toppings on the side everything has to go directly into your bowl. Extras like avocado cost more, and the bowls already run around $17, so it's definitely on the pricier side. Prices are higher since it's on a university campus, so just be aware of that. The ambiance is good overall. It's located in a food-court style area, so you just get your food and sit anywhere in East Commons. It's a popular spot for SDSU students, so you'll definitely be surrounded by college students. Other than that, it's a great place, and I love coming here especially on days when I'm craving a healthier rice bowl.

The moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted and asked if I wanted a table for one. I said no, I was hoping to order takeout, and she kindly invited me to sit at the bar while I looked over the menu. Right away, the atmosphere felt welcoming, beautiful, and relaxed. I ordered my food, sipped my water, and honestly didn't think I had ordered that much. Then she came out with multiple filled brown bags of food! First of all, the prices were amazing. Second... the food was TOP NOTCH and completely different from what I had the night before. Everything was packed with flavor without being overloaded with salt. Fresh, vibrant, rich, and incredibly satisfying. The waitress/hostess was knowledgeable, friendly, and gave great recommendations on what to try. You can tell the staff truly cares about the experience. I will absolutely be back the next time I visit San Diego again. And not that I recommend eating while driving ... but the next day on my drive back to Ventura County, I spread out my leftovers and happily snacked on hummus, baba ghanoush, and dolma all the way home. That alone says everything about how good this place was.

The only reason I'm leaving 3 stars is because of my last experience. I stopped by about 10 minutes before closing to grab a bottle of water and one of the pre-made meals they already had ready. Before walking in, I even asked if they were still open. The guy said yes, but from the way he talked and acted, it really felt like I wasn't welcome there. He immediately asked if I was paying with a card, and the whole interaction just felt off. I don't usually leave reviews like this because, at the end of the day, it's not a huge deal and I'll probably still come back. I just wanted some food for work the next day and a bottle of water. It was just one of those moments where better customer service would've made all the difference. Shit happens.

The gyro meat was so good and full of flavor that even my picky little boy was eating it nonstop, which says a lot. We ordered the gyro plate, hummus, and falafel and everything was delicious.

The restaurant itself was nice and quiet too, which made the whole experience even better. We'll for sure be coming back.

I ordered the shawarma wrap.. sauces were really good but the wrap was not it. Total was $17 price wasn't bad but I just feel like it's so bland for a wrap it only has meat. Why do I have to pay extra for the rice ? When adding rice is way cheaper than having a wrap filled with meat ‍ and shawarma is something you eat with rice not just meat itself... also there wasn't many toppings in the wrap and the parsley was just added on it wasn't even chopped. I don't recommend this place ‍
