Okay, so toward the end of July, I was hanging out with my cousin and we were trying to figure out…read morewhat to eat. We were in the mood for a gyro plate, something simple, something good. She suggested Halal Chicks because she had ordered from them before and said their chicken over rice was really good. So I'm like, alright, let's try it. And honestly? It was really good. Like, genuinely delicious. I ordered the chicken over rice platter, and the portion size was huge. It came with the chicken over rice, fries, salad, and pita--everything you want your platter to have. And let me tell you, I ate off that thing for two days. The flavor was there, the seasoning was seasoned-ing, and everything tasted super fresh. Now, let's talk about the fries because oh my God... their fries are everything. I love a good fry, and these fries hit every mark--crispy, seasoned, and a great portion. The salad was fresh, the pitas were perfect (I love me some chopped pitas), and they give you all the sauces--white sauce, BBQ, hot sauce--so you can really make it how you want it. We DoorDashed ours from the Heights location, and even with delivery, everything held up beautifully. Fresh, flavorful, hot--no complaints. And listen, I really don't think you can go wrong with halal food. Chicken over rice is one of those things that, when done right, it just hits. And Halal Chicks did not miss at all. I also looked into them a bit and saw that they're minority-owned and locally sourced, which makes me love them even more. Especially in today's climate, supporting our local and minority-owned businesses is important. They're showing up for the community, so let's show up for them. Overall, food was great. The portions are amazing. The flavor is on point. And I would definitely order from them again. Go check them out--they have a few locations. Let me know what you think!

I loved the ambiance and interior designs inside. Ordered the chicken Suqaar, which was delicious. Meat was so tender and flavorful, as was the rice. Also had the Suqaar fries but wouldn't recommend them as they're just marked-up regular fries. Portions are quite generous and prices are fair (entrees $20-25). Mostly carbs and proteins. Overall, I'd probably go back.

Hadn't been here in ages, so wanted to try basically everything!!! Server was sooo sweet to bring out all sorts of things, and eventually I ordered a sausage/chimi chicken platter w mac & cheese and fried rice. Eventually then we also got the chocolate pie, which was perfect!!! Basically a thick chocolatey mousse over a crunchy Oreo-like crust, not too sweet. Really amazing!!! Forgot to add I really loved the char of the wings, and the salt potatoes really were amazing, since I'm sure they're simmered in lard or something!!!

The noodles were the perfect chewy texture and the flavor really hit the spot. It came with a lot of vegetables, but they were all at the bottom. I wish it was mixed in a little more, but I would absolutely come back again. You order at the counter and the only seating available are barstools along the walls. Great for a casual meal, but there were a lot of deliveries popping in and out so that seems like the move.

Met a friend here, and we ended up talking for hours and they didn't kick us out. The soup of the day, asparagus, was very tasty and perfect for rainy weather. I got a glass of Nero d'Avola from their small selection of wines by the glass, and it was delicious once it opened up. My tagliatelle funghi in a cream sauce was a little heavy, but I might have expected that. Also their complementary bread was delicious as was the olive oil. I might have read it four stars, but the vibes and their letting us sit and catch up was great. I would happily come here again with a friend. Definitely doesn't feel corporate and the vibes are cozy!
