No, I would not eat there again. The customer service was horrible, and the restaurant itself was not clean. The tables, windows, and even the napkin holders were dirty. Some of the dishes were chipped or broken, and the tea kettle was extremely dirty as well. I also had to direct the staff on how to properly serve the table. For example, they only brought out one piece of bread for three people. The portion sizes overall were very small. The lamb in the Qabuli Palow was especially disappointing -- I would rate it a 1/10. It was mostly fat with very little actual meat. Only brought 2 utensils for 3 people 1cup for 3 people The lady server seemed extremely uninterested . The owner Kareem, dropped plates making loud noises 2TIMES!!! Horrible ambiance I am Afghan and I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED in this establishment. Disgusting!!! Afghan hospitality was not present and they NEED TO DO A LOT BETTER. It is sad we gave $50 for 3 plates and disgusting tea I will be back to take additional photos to make a formal complaint to The county and the city . FILTHY ESTABLISHMENTS ARE ILLEGAL read more

Ordered two chicken shawarma sandwiches and the only thing in them was chicken, lettuce and some sauce. It was missing the pickles and tomatoes. Sandwich was okay, the market had a lot of middle eastern items but was pretty messy and dusty. read more

Picked up dinner here yesterday while in town for work and I'm so glad I found this local gem. Everyone who helped me was super friendly and once I placed my order, the food was ready to go in about 10 minutes. It was delicious and affordable, which is my favorite combination. I asked for medium spicy and it was just right. Definitely had a burn but not too much to stop eating. The rice was worth writing home about too. And the portion size! I barely made a dent for dinner and finished it for lunch today. All for $11 bucks? I am a happy camper. My next task is to find something comparable in my town, but I'm not holding my breath. read more

Hot kebabs off the grill is awesome. We're going back to try the shawarma's. Staff is friendly and prices are reasonable

This place is perfect for that clean eating feeling where you can tell by the taste that the meat is sourced so much better than any other local grocery. Their à la carte food is delicious simple satisfying, great customer service and amazing prices. I will no longer be getting my meat for triple the price at Costco. I got steak here for $18 from an ethical clean source as opposed to $38 from Costco from God knows where. I called ahead and it was ready when I got there 10 minutes later. read more

Mayar’s Halal Meat & Grill - 9. Special Chicken Shawarma - Halal Near Me - Modesto, California

Delicious food and fresh came from Monterey county love it will come again inshallah when visit this valley

This place is very clean, and the staff are friendly. Sadly though, my visit today was not a pleasant one. I ordered the chicken Donner kabob wrap. A pretty easy meal to make and deliver. The meat was was not fresh and was in a storage container, although fresh chicken was cooking and ready on the grill. I then waited for 10 minutes as the wrap was put on a george foreman grill, that I am not sure was even turned on. I was then handed my 9$ wrap, luke warm, with dried old chicken donner meat, and now warmed up tahini inside. I took a bite, did not swallow, and threw out the entire wrap. With such high ratings in this location, I am really not sure how someone could mess up a wrap so horribly? I have not made a review like this in years, someone is going to get sick eating here, if today's experience is the norm. read more

Amazing Afghan food! I tried the Qabuli Pallow and some beef kebabs. Everything was very authentic. They cooked the kebabs over a charcoal grill and were made to order. The flavors were delicious. The lamb was tender as can be and cooked to perfection. The kebabs were hot and fresh off the grill. They had a slight tangy taste. The chutney was a great addition to all the food we had. The quantity was sufficient to have leftovers for your next meal. Everyone there was warm and welcoming. read more

Fresh, huge portions and actual grilling outside, made to order! Just how I remembered the Middle East! Great place to get your Mideast/ Afghanistan fix on! Plus an international Bazar! What made it best was the employees and cooks were all totally friendly and hospitality was more than gracious! Thank you! read more

This place is a little hidden gem! If you like BBQ meats and want to try other flavors or cuisines, I highly recommend this place! The service is quick and everyone is super friendly. A very simple cantina-style location with home like ambiance, and home cooked foods. I had both chicken and lamb kebabs with rice and a small salad, and let me tell you they were the best kebabs I had in a long time. I would eat there every day! read more

Stopped by on a whim when we were in Modesto. Awesome service, awesome food. Very reasonably priced. Will come back again.

Great customers service. Quality and tasty food. Grocery and meat prices are fair compared to other halal Markets. I highly recommend this place. We had an awesome experience. read more

Went there and ordered 8 servings of kabobs, when it came out they said it was 7 servings and they'd be back with the other serving as soon as possible, when they came back out with it we ate and asked for tea. Once we went to pay, the tea was extremely overpriced, and they said they gave us 9 servings of kabobs and that we had to pay for the extra they gave us. read more

The best Halal Supermarket and bakery around Modesto I highly recommend people to come and try it I love the Kabab and all of the Afghan food that they are making it here, specially the bread or Naan, it's amazing and delicious. read more

This is going to be my go-to halal butcher in Modesto! The reason why is because the owner is proud to serve only zabiha (hand slaughtered) meat and has certification. My husband recently called another popular butcher shop (not Mayar's) we used to go to , and they had a mixture of machine and hand slaughtered. We know people will pick their meats how they wish, but I'm strictly zabiha (hand slaughtered) so Mayar's will be the place to go! read more

I came to Modesto for business and this market was referred to me by a good friend of mine. He told me if I wanted the best kebab in town I will have to come here . Strange I thought how a market would have such amazing food. The bread is also made fresh to order. All the staff were amazingly nice and everything looked well maintained. They grilled my order outside as I was waiting and when done I got it right away. I ordered two orders as I was super hungry coming here. The lamb is my go to but beef is also super yummy read more

Mayar is the best restaurant I ever seen the food is the best also so deliciousit has the best service I recommended to you guys

I don't understand why this place has any stars. My first time coming here and last. I was told they had good lamb chops, no meat just bones. Then I ordered a wrap and lamb shank and this has to be the most disappointing and disgusting food I have ever ate. The oil they used for my wrap and fries was old. The lamb shank and rice was soggy, drenched in mazola oil or whatever low price oil that have back there. Kabuli style is supposed to have a different kind of oil/fat. What I was given was given was unedible. Pure waste of money and even though I barely took a bite of each, I threw up. This is not the first bad experience I have had. Before this my husband brought home a whole roasted chicken and to my horror it was raw on the inside! We tried to cook it inside the air fryer but it just wasn't appealing to us so we threw it all away. We try to want to like this place but after this last time I am done. Raw, uncooked, Old oil, too much oil and low quality meat (just go to Costco to get your lamb people). Because this is the only Halal place in town, we will try again. I hope the owner sees this review and makes the appropriate changes. If that happens, I will gladly change my review. read more
