    Magda's Milkshake, Cookie Shake, Brandin's Blend, and Oreo Special (without toppings)

    Amazing shakes and food. Very kid friendly!!! We will be back to try more of the menu.

    Chicken shawarma plate
    Heather S.

    First time trying this place! Ordered delivery via Door Dash; received it quickly so service must have been timely. I had the chicken shawarma plate with hummus and garden salad, and baklava. The flavor of the chicken and rice with garlic sauce was delicious, but next time I would order extra sauce as there wasn't quite enough. The hummus and salad with stuffed grape leaves complemented it perfectly. The baklava was a bit drier and less sweet than I'm used to. Overall, very good!

    Chicken Shawarma with side of Hummus and Hot Hot
    Mark T.

    Does anyone remember the Purple Eggplant Pizzeria that used to be here? It closed so rapidly you'd think the owners and staff had to go into witness protection or something! Well, Shawarma and Shakes opened up in its place, and I finally decided to give them a try. Ordered the chicken shawarma with hummus and hot-hot. The hummus was delightful! It has a thinner consistency (which I don't mind by any means), and tasted homemade! Hot-hot, which is a blend of peppers in an oil (sauce?) brought the heat, but were a delight as well as a medium scorcher (be forewarned - I have higher-than-average heat tolerance). The plate also came with pita bread. Two notes on sides: First, I would have liked the hot-hot to be a little less oily, but I realize that can be a logistic challenge. Second, I would have liked more of both, since the amounts weren't very proportional to the main. Finally, pita bread was not the greatest I'd even had. And that main though! The portion size was very filling, and I can EAT. If you don't have a tendency to eat like a vacuum cleaner, split this with a friend (this is why I was mentioning the amount of sides). The chicken was cooked and seasoned nicely, the rice was cooked perfectly, and the garlic sauce added a very nice touch without being overwhelming. Everything was well balanced too with not too much chicken or rice. For fresh, hot food, it didn't take too long, about 10 minutes give or take. Price was reasonable considering the portion size/quality also. Overall, nothing mind-blowing or worth driving an hour for, but if you're close-ish and feeling some shawarma, absolutely give it a go.

    Mixed Shawarma Plate
    Jessica B.

    This place is a nice change of pace! After hearing good things, I decided to give it a try for lunch. I ordered the mixed shawarma plate with hummus, salad and extra garlic sauce. The mixed shawarma (chicken & beef) was juicy and well-seasoned. The bed of rice it was sitting on was so light, fluffy and tasty, I could of eaten a plate of that alone and I'm usually not a big rice person. The homemade hummus is some of the best I've ever had and that garlic sauce - it needs to be bottled and sold by the jar!! Give this place a try when you're looking for something different other than the usual sub/pizza take out!

    Probably the worst Shawarma wrap I've ever had. It tasted like nothing for $15. Fries were soggy too.

    I like their food but it's super pricey. Especially the Ice cream. U can get Dairy Queen for much cheaper and still get a good amount.

    Hear me out....The first time I had the halal guys was at their OG location in NYC. I also did not…read moreknow how spicy their hot sauce was. To my unfortunate surprise, I had squeezed a good amount of hot sauce all over my platter and wasn't able to eat around it. All I remember was the first few bites were delicious until I couldn't taste anything but hot sauce anymore. That was completely my fault. Fast forward they opened a location closer to home. I am so glad I tried it again because man... it is just so dang good, homey, comforting, and delicious! The service and staff at this location is impeccable. They are literally the cleanest people I ever seen working for a chain. I mean who cleans the stove vent in the middle of service? They do. (And yes, they protected and covered the food properly.) I've never seen one rice kernel out of place and have yet to see anything not shiny let alone sticky. Staff is quick, attentive, work well together, and also upsell you nonchalantly. Girl sold me a cookie I didn't even want but willingly bought without being pushy...that's impressive. Anyway,I highly recommend!

    Didn't even know there was a location at South Bay but very welcome as parking is MUCH easier than…read moredowntown. Always liked halal guys ever since our many trips to NYC 53rd and 6th days. Usually one plate is enough for me to eat 2 meals which is great! Extra white sauce, couple dribbles of hot sauce mix and enjoy. Usually get the tomatoes, onions, green peppers and jalapeños. I personally would probably stick to the beef only for my taste. Nice flavoring easy protein. The chicken at times could be a bit dry or bland. Decided to try the bbq spicy chicken this time but got mostly sweet and sour taste no kick. You can choose to have salad mixed with the combo and it comes with naan pieces i think haha All in all, great for a quick pop in, service was stellar, staff was super nice and promptly got what you wanted/needed. Will be back
