    Group order
    Benjamin H.

    Ordered 5 family kits to serve 20 people. Had about enough food for 25 people. So I was happy with that. They prepared the food on time, they got to order right, and everyone was satisfied with how it tasted. They gave us plenty of sauce, which is of course what people like the most. There was extra tomato and lettuce. If you're using it for a group order, I think you'll be pretty satisfied.

    chicken wings, gyro wrap, combo over rice

    A lot of people were excited for Cary to get the famous halal guys franchise, my family being part of that crowd. If you've been to New York you've definitely heard of this place. They serve gyro wraps, chicken/gyro platters over rice, wings, and falafel. The food is covered in their famous white sauce and in New York, it is well loved and always busy. This location in particular actually does not give you a big portion like other locations do. This sucks- since it makes the combo extremely overpriced. The amount of meat is especially smaller. The wings were pretty good, but the falafel was more on the dry side. I also was shocked at how bland and unseasoned the chicken was- it seemed boiled. The gyro meat is the better option. It's possible as a new restaurant they will get better, because for now they are doing a disservice to the famous truck in the city.

    Chicken & Beef over rice

    Having known Halal guys from my college days in NJ.. back when they did not expand via franchising, I've got to say that this is one of the worst experiences ever. I've been to several of their franchises throughout US.. from east coast to west coast (Los Angeles, Virginia, New Jersey, Charlotte - NC etc), this one takes the pie of being of the worst. Service was terrible. I placed an order via their app, which was supposed to be picked up in approximately 20 minutes. When I arrived, I went straight to the pickup spot & when asked, gave them my name. They acknowledged, but nothing was done. I patiently waited for 5 more minutes & reminded them again.. same story: they acknowledged as if they're looking for my order. Few minutes passed by & he asks again. I gave him my name & he tells me that it will take 7-8 minutes. That's when I noticed that he was actually starting to work on my order. And by the way, this is already 20-30 minutes after my scheduled pickup time. Finally my order was ready. I asked if he put white sauce or hot sauce, he said he totally forgot. I asked if he can give me some on the side. Then when I went outside to eat, I noticed that there was no cutlery. I had to come back & ask for that as well. Now comes the food part: It was terrible. A little bit burnt, portion size was way too less than what I get at any other Halal Guys franchise. If I would have not ordered online, it would have been way easier & quicker for me to get in line & be done with my food. They really need to improve, specially being organized & show better customer service. I'd continue going to the Tasty Halal place in Morrisville, until these guys show improvement. Their portion size, taste & quality of service is awesome and (so far) way better than this place!

    Regular platter with gyro

    Have heard so much hype about the Halal Guys food truck in NYC. Saw that they finally opened so was excited to give them a try. Their grand opening isn't until this weekend so obviously they're working through some kinks. The interior space is very awkward with extremely limited seating. There's only 1 larger table (seats 6) with the other 3-4 tables for 2 people only. There is outside seating but not ideal on a cooler evening. People queuing up to order is chaotic since there are 2 entrances & people didn't know where to stand. It's counter service so you place your order then move down the line. Ordering is also not the easiest since it was pretty loud in there & a bit confusing with several people taking over the order. There's not a lot of topping choices & honestly it would've been easier if we could see the topping selections or have a list of them in sight instead of the staff explaining them to each & every customer. Foodwise? It was just ok. The classic platter is the larger sized one but don't get fooled by the container....half of it was iceberg lettuce. Flavorwise, it was just ok. Chicken was very garlicky & not in a good way. Gyro was fine. Appreciated that they do cook it on a rotating spit but it was mass produced frozen gyro. Falafel was ok too. The white sauce which was supposed to be tahini, was not flavorful & tasted like mayo. Overall, the food didn't do it for us & was a disappointment. It was pricey and wasn't worth it imho. It was about $60 for 3 people with drinks.

    Combo Bowl with extra white sauce

    The Halal Guys just opened this location which fills a niche of quick serve halal food in the area. Do you want falafel? Got it, gyro meat? yes, chicken? also yes. Service is friendly and fast, interior is new and clean. As you have your food made you'll realize there are limited toppings but there are a few sauces to choose from that help add flavor to the bowls. I recommend getting extra sauce of your choosing! Also the honey falafel although a bit dry was a great vegetarian option. Indoor seating is limited and the food is packaged with plasticware, they encourage you to order on the app (with free bonus rewards) so the way to order here is do it online, then go pick it up to go. I believe the other reviews are a bit harsh in expecting a sit down flavorful experience the not an inclusive less adventurous healthier option that it is.

    Chicken platter

    Food was great .We had ordered couple of combos and chicken wings. Chicken wings were very tasty and fresh. We loved the falafel. The white sauce is yummy. The hot sauce is really hot. The service was great . Would definitely visit again

    As a fellow New Yorker this is one of my favorite foods. The chicken platter was tender and tasty. They just need to have larger portions and more toppings. Otherwise the was good to me..The servers were nice and patient. The ambiance was warm and welcoming. The restaurant was clean and organized.

    So glad we have a Halal Guys in the area!! The flavors are just as amazing as in NYC, although the pita was a little subpar.

I usually order the two chicken skewer kabobs with rice, a super salad, and the jalapeño cilantro hummus. The hummus is *so* good that I often grab a small container to take with me when I travel. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, and you can really tell they use quality ingredients, especially with olive oil as a base. They offer both fresh pita and gluten-free pita, which is great for anyone with dietary restrictions. Honestly, I could make a meal just out of all the sides--they're that good. The menu is consistently solid, and I feel like you really can't go wrong with anything you order. It's a perfect spot for a low-key lunch or dinner. Also worth noting: on Tuesdays, kids eat free with a paying adult, which is a great bonus for families. Highly recommend!

The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and it's an easy place to relax and enjoy a good meal. It's clear that care goes into both the food and the experience. I've been here multiple times and it's been consistently good every visit. Definitely recommend if you're looking for fresh, flavorful Greek/Mediterranean food with lots of choices.

Service is very friendly, and as quick as possible, considering that stuff seems to be made to order. I ordered a chicken kebab platter which comes over a bed of basmati rice, possibly with saffron. Whatever the rice tasted great and it wasn't dry like at a lot of places. The chicken was marinated in a tangy yogurt-spice mix, grilled and topped with a tahini sauce. Delicious! As sides I got mujadara and roasted vegetables which were also tasty. I'll be back for takeout for sure in the future.

    "Bodega-like Mediterranean Grill & Grocery in Parkwood area of Durham"…read more This place is WAY off the beaten path for most, but I'm so happy to have gotten to try it out. Nestled in a little strip between a Muslim school and a mosque is this grill and grocery. We came on a Wednesday evening, and almost every table was already taken by diners. You order your food at a counter, and it has the Middle Eastern foods you'd expect-- kofta, shawarma, gyros, falafel, baba ghanouj, hummus, baklava, etc. I opted for the lamb gyro sandwich with a side of baba ghanouj, and my dining partner had the falafel sandwich. They call your number when it's ready. Food took maybe 10 minutes to receive, so we browsed the market area. It's not a huge selection, but very traditional-- nice seeing so many labels in Arabic, and along with standards (e.g., canned fava beans for Ful Medames), they also had things like frozen chopped mulukhiyah leaves-- that's definitely a rarer sight. Lots of good spices too. The food was EXCELLENT. The lamb was juicy and perfect (unlike what another Yelp review said), the tzatziki sauce was delicious, and the baba ghanouj was perfectly cooked and textured. I had a small bite of the falafel, and it was indeed one of the best I've had in the US. Price was fair, too-- the sandwiches are all under $10 before tax and tip, and making it a combo with side and drink cost just something like $2.50. And service was friendly-- although they called out numbers, they did walk out with the food to try to find and bring you your dishes. And while it was an older space, it was overall still generally clean. Overall, I'd VERY happily come back.

The flavors were a little different from the Turkish food I'm used to from friends' family cooking, but still very enjoyable. The salad that came with the meal was okay, but not my favorite.
