My coworker and I stopped into Halal Guys totally by chance during some office visits. We were driving down Alameda looking for lunch, saw the sign, and immediately turned in. We both got the beef gyro platter and it was great. Halal Guys is always solid! The food is tasty, the ingredients are fresh, and you know exactly what you're getting. But that's not actually why I'm writing this review. I'm writing this review because of Marcus. That guy is fantastic! Honestly, I'll probably come back here for lunch next time I'm in Aurora just because of him. He's welcoming, funny, and clearly loves working with people. This is one of those places where you pick your ingredients from the counter behind the glass, and Marcus is not shy about making recommendations. I love that. The peeps working here know the food best, so I usually just go with whatever is recommended. Hot sauce? Sure! Actually their hot sauce is pretty hot and Marcus will try to warn you. If you don't handle heat well you should listen to him :) He joked with us and just made the whole experience awesome. Thanks for making a random Thursday lunch a good time, Marcus. We'll definitely be back! read more

Nice place to get my halal fix. The food was good. Spicy chicken with hot sauce left my mouth on fire. Loved the heat. Not a whole lot of room, a number of booths to sit at. You order at the counter and they make it as you pick the ingredients. Good ingredients, would go back again. read more

Came here for a solo lunch. Parking isn't that great but I was at one on the east coast years ago and remember it being fantastic. The place is simply decorated (lighting is a little dark) and the vibe is simple. Towards the back there's a menu and an open counter with the food displayed to order. I wanted to try a collection of things so I got the plate with the lamb, salad, hummus and falafel. All was fresh with great flavors-- hot sauce is also worth a shout out. Recommend. read more

I went at 10:30 on 12/10/25. The restaurant was fairly empty, but the service was great, I was greeted as I came into to restaurant. I ordered the gryo sandwich. The flavor was ok, I have had better gryos. The biggest problems I had with the sandwich, was the lack of flavor for the meat. And the pita bread was a bit chewy. read more

It's ok, but inconsistent. Been here 3x in the past few months and had variable quality of food. Been the same guy working every time I go, nice guy that attends to all the customers, strikes up some conversation as he preps your food, and even cleans all the floors and tables. Food just isn't quite the same quality as Halal Guys in other major metro areas (LA/NY), but convenient enough if you need a quick bite and want to feel somewhat healthier than regular fast food. (It's also a BILT partner so that helps if you have the card!) read more

Good food. The plate is kind of small IMO but it's CLEAN healthy food and that is important. Also tastes very good. Possible to eat daily for lunch read more

Ordered online for pick-up and it was super speedy. Even the small platter is plentiful. You can choose up to 2 proteins and the sides you would like. Some sides cost extra such as hummus, baba ghanoush, falafel, and extra pita. The pita was a bit too crisp, but the rest of my platter was great - plenty of hummus, chicken, and beef gyro atop rice with tomatoes and olives as sides. Utensils as well as a packet of their white sauce and hot sauce are provided. read more

I finally made my way to the Aurora location for Halal Guys. I've had it in Korea and it was quite good. I ordered the small plate and it comes with a lot of food. I had the beef gyro platter with rice, veggies, and hummus, and falafel. Honestly, the best part is the white sauce. The white sauce just adds a nice extra oomph to your tastebuds. The pita bread was quite good. At the same time, I also ordered the bbq pita bread to see what the difference is like. I didn't taste any difference between the two - it's so minimal that you can't really tell so just stick with the normal pita bread. read more

Halal guys is my families favorite food from NYC and I was so excited it opened up in Denver. We have tried few locations and food is ok. But this location in aurora is close to us and it's always always horrible. Food never tastes like halal guys, every time employees make up new rules. At times they charge extra for giving salad separately and then at times charge extra for rice. The other day charge extra for onions and bell peppers. Today they handed us weird packaged sauces and it had a hand stamp of halal guys. It didn't taste like the original white sauce at all. Then he said foundation machine isn't working and buy bottles. We stood for a bit when asked for a bag to take food home. Both employees working were fighting with each other and made my kids feel unsafe. Restaurant smelled like something old and tables were not clean either. I really want this management to take action and change employees. read more

The food is so good. Portion is nice. Service is a bit more on the fast food level. Ambiance is usual for a fast food restaurant that has a seating area. But the food is good. Definitely recommend the wings. read more

Ordered Halal from DoorDash & NEEDED to come here & tell you all how good it is. I've ordered to go, ordered from an app & been in to dine in & the food consistency is incredibly hard to beat. I normally get the chicken plate & it hits the spot every time. The dressing is SO good & the hot sauce goes crazy (but can get very intense quick, so be careful not to drench your food in it until you're committed.) The service was great when I went in & the staff is always kind & easy to talk to. I can't wait to go back! I'm already craving more. read more

The Halal Guys - Small Platter - Halal Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

We stopped by for a quick delicious late lunch meal. The Combo Chicken & Beef platter was loaded! I couldn't finish the regular sized I ordered. Or you want yours in sandwich form? Do it! There are both equally tasty! Easy to order. You'll see when you get there. If you've been to NYC then most likely you've seen their cart or tried their dishes! The Halal Guys is a halal fast casual restaurant franchise that began as halal carts on the southeast and southwest corners of 53rd Street and Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, New York City. What is Halal? Halal diets set strict guidelines regarding how livestock is raised, slaughtered, and prepared prior to consumption. read more

Fast food quality, nothing like the real deal. Very clean place but the food looked horrible.

As someone who works in food service, the chicken was 100% bagged, not from the gyro spit. The peta was bagged, too think and dry. Very mid food. The service was good, nice people, nothing against them, but the halal guys brand as its expanded has just gone down significantly in quality. Also the restaurant has a sewage leak or something bc it smells like a sewer drain. read more

Loved the one in NY, now they have one at home in Denver! Food awesome. Service excellent. Atmosphere perfect. Highly recommend, it's cheap and good. Nuff said! read more

This place is great! Casual ambiance and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I have been meaning to stop by here for several months and finally did at the recommendation of several coworkers who eat here regularly. I was very impressed. I have not had a lot of Middle Eastern cuisine but this is some of the best I've had. You can tell that everything is very fresh and made with high quality ingredients. Simple yet delicious flavors all blended together. I got the beef gyro bowl with white sauce. The regular size made enough for two meals for me but I ate it cold the next day and it was just as good. The pita slices seemed a bit stale and were just alright. The baklava chocolate cheesecake is to die for! Not overly sweet with just the right amount of chocolate flavor with crunchy pecans on top. I will absolutely be back - especially since I work right down the street. Pricing is alright. I paid just under $20 for the bowl, a piece of cheesecake and no drink. read more

It's a busy area. So I think they should atleast increase manpower and train them to be a little bit more organized. We waited for half an hour and after that we heard they're out of chicken. We had to go other place for having our dinner. read more

Today was my 3rd time going to this place I got mix large bowl. The chicken literally boiled or Half cooked. The rice cold. The white sauce looks black and I add fries the oil got knows when it was changed. After couple bites had to throw it away. Feel so horrible.who ever b the owner is should go to the restaurant more often and try his own food. read more

I dined here several times in the past while living in Aurora. Unfortunately, I didn't give Halal Guys a well deserved five star review. Yesterday, I attended a community event which I very much enjoyed. Visiting The Halal Guys was a nice bookend to the day. This place is located on Alameda Avenue in Aurora, just down the road from Aurora City Hall. It's also located in a small plaza with other restaurants. There is a Five Guys Burger and Fries a few stores down from Halal Guys. Parking is sort of right so leave that bigger vehicle at home, if possible. The Halal Guys is similar to Chipotle or Qdoba in terms of how food is ordered, made and served. Just replace the food cuisine with Middle Eastern. Now, I'm very biased with Middle Eastern food as it's a favorite of mine. I feel that Halal Guys do a pretty good job of providing quality food with reasonable prices. I ordered a regular size plate. They offer regular or large. I feel that the regular size gives you plenty of food where you will leave feeling full. I choose gyro (of course) for my protein and loaded it up with rice along with various veggies. I was impressed that my server didn't skimp on the rice. Their rice is really good! For my entree and soda (bottle of Coke Zero), the total bill was $15+ which I feel is very reasonable. Also, that's tax included. I ate my meal in the restaurant. There are plenty of tables to sit at while enjoying your meal. Some of the tables were a bit dirty. They could've used some wiping down after previous patrons finished their meals. They also have uni-sex restrooms as well. They were fairly clean and not trashed. Overall, good and consistent experience with Halal Guys. Wish they had one down in Castle Rock! I will definitely consider Halal Guys for a great lunch or dinner option when I visit Aurora again. Looking forward to my next visit! If you haven't tried Halal Guys, what are you waiting for?! Check them out! I also feel this is a good starter restaurant for those who haven't tried Middle Eastern food yet and are curious about it. Hope you try them and develop the Middle Eastern food cravings! Join the club! read more

Another amazing recommendation for the day!!!! First time visiting this fabulous restaurant and will definitely be back. We had a Regular Beef Gyro Platter & Regular Signature Spicy Chicken Platter. A 4 Piece Falafel Order with a side of dipping sauce and a Baklava to go. For our platters we took the recommendation of employee and we were not disappointed. He laced it with 3 different sauces. Be careful with the hot sauce, it's pretty hot. If you don't like hot sauce I would not recommend it. We ended our meal with an outstanding Baklava. It was very tasty and a good way to end a fabulous meal. The customer service was exceptional. Restaurant is very clean and up to date. read more

Walked in noticed how everyone was really busy getting prepared for a lunch rush. However we were greeted quickly and the menu was explained to the both of us as we went down the line of choosing toppings and sauces and a protein. I am so glad I got a combo bowl because I was not a fan of the chicken. It was very bland in taste along with the rice. But whatever the seasoning is on the beef brought that whole other half of my bowl to life. Their white sauce was absolutely amazingggg. I asked for a small side of it so I could dip my fries in it - drool worthy! My husband got a chicken bowl and was happy he got the red sauce because it gave the chicken a slight touch of taste but not much. I'm giving it 4 stars only because the rice and chicken were lacking a splash of taste. Hopefully as time goes on and the workers have been there longer, they get a smoother transition into making it how the food truck is in NY! read more

We moved here from California prior to halal guys opening and craved it quite often. Imagine my joy when it finally opened here! For those who have never been, the concept is much like a Panda Express or chipotle where you start at the beginning of the line to pick your dish - whether it be a wrap or platter. I usually go for the beef gyro platter and add in the olives and onion. I love a generous amount of white spread drizzled on top - none of the spicy for me! A comfort food for sure. read more

The good- the Hot sauce is insane hot The bad- meats a little over done and crispy for my taste The ok- the beef plates ok, if you didn't add white sauce it just wouldn't taste like much. The result- wouldn't order again, it was an ok try but I just don't get the hype. It's plain rice, plain meat, salad topped in essentially what tastes like Mayo? Why do people love this? Tip- if you want to really have legit beef over rice add fries to it. That's how I had in NYC and it's a nice touch. I got fries on side and added in. read more

The Halal Guys was popping up everywhere on Yelp when it first opened up and I just knew that I had to try it. On a Sunday around 7 I decided to give it a go and man was I impressed. Although it seems that a lot of people already knew about this place, I had never heard of it before. The interior is open and spacious. I love the wall designs and bright colors, it really gave the place lots of life. I was greeted upon entry and the staff were helpful and efficient. The ordering system is a lot like Chipotle and it was fast and easy. There is not a lot of menu options which makes choosing your meal quick and painless. I opted for the chicken platter and they sure do give you a big heap of everything. There was a brief moment where I thought they were putting a ton of shredded cheddar cheese on my plate. I soon realized upon closer inspection that it was the rice *smacks forehead*. I had a good laugh about that. Anyways, the food is incredible! The white sauce adds nice flavor and added taste. The chicken was a bit dry, but the white sauce helped with that. Also, I would definitely listen to your fellow yelpers when they talk about the hot sauce. It's no joke. I only got one line of it and was fumbling for my water with every bite. The pita helped a little too and was warm and fluffy. Overall, the value for the food was worth it and I will definitely be back with other people! read more

Original location: 75 W 53rd St, New York, NY 10019 One reason to visit this place is the "white sauce"! Caution: red sauce is extremely spicy, agent orange to your gut. The food cart in NYC has over 10,000 reviews on Google and it's became a attraction itself. The experience waiting in line for an hour was cool 10 years ago. The aurora location has the same quality food with shorter wait time. read more

food was nasty, I ordered a gyro and that thing had like little HARD white pieces of idk what. I almost choked on one and then they just kept coming and had to throw the whole thing thing away not sure what those white little hard pieces where maybe should be more careful . never again buying from here read more

Finally tried the famous gyros platter with the white sauce. The key to me is getting lots of sauce on top of the meat. The rice is just ok, a little dry. Instead the lettuce and tomatoes with the sauce is better than the rice. Falafel is also just ok, perhaps I am not a fan of the texture. Good service and will come back again. The red sauce I would stay away from. read more

This is a good Mediterranean fast food restaurant. I was wanting more vegetable options to add to my entree, but the staff was friendly and my entree had good flavor. Overall, this was a good dinning experience. read more

It is not as good as you want it to be - but it is a lot easier than flying to manhattan and getting it off a cart there. Order wisely, and you'll be happy. Sauce translates, humus translates, the babaganoush translates, the beef gyro is close, chicken wasn't as good. Fries n either place are the wrong order. This will be a low effort/takeout/delivery boon for me, some more good variety in the Denver food scene. read more

Seeing the Halal Guys sign pop up was seriously the Mr and I's dream come true. We have missed this spot TERRIBLY since we moved from the East Coast and wouldn't you know it, we buy a house RIGHT down the street! It's food fate. I will say, nothing will ever beat the deliciousness of the OG food cart in NYC - I don't know if their griddles just have ALL the flavors baked in from the decades of cooked meat memories, but that flavor is just unmatched. Still, I will take a Combo Platter with extra white sauce ANY day from ANY chain and will do a happy dance all the same. If you've never been, definitely give Halal guys a try. It's quick, it's easy, and it's delicious! There are some additions to the chains that the food truck didn't have, like the extra toppings and hummus which was pretty good! Also, spice lovers be warned, their red sauce is good but she is SPICY. So, heed the warning they give to everyone when asking for it. read more

Just like the street food cart in NYC. Getting the white sauce (garlic sauce) is a must and adding the red sauce (hot sauce) is a bonus if you like spicy. Different from all other gyros I've had in Denver. read more

The Halal Guys - Chicken gyro sandwich with white & red sauce. Chicken Sandwich - Halal Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Love the fact that one of my NYC favorites has finally branched out to Colorado! Although Halal Guys is now a chain, they still have all the essentials- rice, meats, veggies, white sauce, hot sauce, and more. There are even a few extras that the original carts don't have such as fries and baklava. The taste is comparable to the original carts, however, if you have ever had it fresh off the grill in NYC, something is lacking. Maybe it's the fact that it's a bit pricier (understandable with more overhead in a brick and mortar location). Or maybe it just doesn't taste as fresh; it's not quite as steaming hot right off the grill when you order since the meat is already prepared in advance and the kind of just warm it on the grill when you order in store. I do like the fact that there are two size options if you're not quite as hungry for a full sized plate though. All in all, if you are like me and get nostalgic by a simple meal of chicken and rice, it's well worth the trip. read more

In general, I have always been disappointed with the food in the Denver area. Typically, the food is mediocre at best and when you do find a really good meal it's always overpriced. Growing up in New York; I've grown accustomed to amazing food for amazing prices so Denver has always fallen short of that expectation. Having said that, I am SO glad that the Halal Guys finally have a presence in Colorado. The food is great, the staff is super friendly, and the prices(although more expensive than the food truck in Manhattan) are still decent. The staff apparently was also trained in the NY food truck so they can perfectly prepare and serve food in Colorado. I hope they open a food truck in downtown Denver but for now, I'm ecstatic to have some chicken and rice with extra white sauce available to me in Aurora. Highly recommend!! read more

This is an iconic New York/LA restaurant that NEVER disappoints. My husband and I routinely drive 30 minutes away to have Halal Guys. There is no place like this in Denver with this quality of food! The gyro meat and chicken are delicious and the white sauce is absolutely incredible! Strongly recommend! New comers beware of the hot sauce. It is so good but is incredibly hot and you don't need a lot to pack a punch. read more

The Halal Guys - Two combo platters with White Sauce Packet To-Go and Hot Sauce Packet To-Go. - Halal Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I don't know that Halal Guys could have possibly lived up to the crazy amount of hype coming from my fellow Denver/Aurora foodies, but I will say my first impression is that is it above average (8/10) for all Middle Eastern food I've tried and that's pretty impressive given that this is fast-casual food we're talking about, not the mom-and-pop sit down restaurants I normally frequent. The hummus was very good - not the best I've ever had, but again, above average. I got the combo platter, added hummus. I first took a little bite of everything to check out the individual flavors. I was happy to see fresh gyros meat that wasn't burnt to a crisp and chicken that was well done but not dry. I then poured on some white sauce, dripped on a touch of red sauce (there are warnings on the packet that it is very spicy and they aren't joking!) , then mixed everything together into a saucy, hummus-y mess. Pretty darned good. I'll be back for sure, but only if there isn't a line out the door. read more

I REALLY wanted to give this place a better review. I found it because I deliver for Grubhub and picked up a delivery from here. I was excited to come back and try it, since I love a chicken gyro pita!! Let me also say that I have not had this brand in NY, so I have nothing to compare to except real, authentic halal & Middle Eastern food-since I am from Detroit. I have also had the gyro pitas from the street vendors in NYC. The meat was not good, rather it was dry and not much of it. The white sauce was tasty but not what I expected. The pita was mainly lettuce and white sauce. Combined it was decent but they need to do better with the meat-the star of the show!! read more

Wonderful new addition to this corner of Aurora. The employees and managers are very nice and courteous and inviting. Best of all they give a sizable military discount. There is also a pokestop nearby!!! The only downfall is their tzatziki sauce. To me that makes or breaks a gyro. But of course this is just one opinion. Please come and try for yourself.

It's here! It's here! It's here! I went to Halal Guys on opening day and the wait was about an hour long, but it was worth it! I've eaten at other Halal Guys before and this place was pretty good, as well. I got the small Combo plate and my husband got the Large. Overall, delicious, the chicken being our favorite. The workers came around offering extra white sauce or hot sauce every 5-10 minutes! The reason why I'm docking a star is because some food items didn't measure up to my expectations: the falafel we ordered was a little dry in the inside and the baklava wasn't quite crispy enough. The new location was clean and the workers were extremely friendly. The food came out fast and fresh. I will definitely be back! I'm so glad this franchise exists in CO! read more

If you haven't seen the hype for Halal guys first Denver location you have most likely been living under a rock! Naturally loving middle eastern food I was super pumped to try this new spot everyone has been talking about. Popped in and got the meat combo and thought it was great! Chicken and Gyro, atop a bed of rice, lettuce and tomatoes. You can also add some toppings, and their luscious white sauce they are famous for and their spicy sauce! So dang good! Added a few extra packed of hot sauce as the amount they put on is pretty weak but two sauce packets was a perfect little kick of heat That was very enjoyable! Also thought it was a nice touch that they would have someone wandering around offering more white sauce to the customers eating there! Actually as I write this review from the weekend I am totally getting hungry and wondering if I should go get another bowl right now lol! Hmmm read more
