My late night pleasure. I have to have this at least once every 2 weeks on my way home from work. Nothing better than a regular combo(gyro and chicken) covered in the amazing white sauce. If you like heat be sure to add the hot sauce but be warned it's hot bruh(no like not joking it's hot). Add some of the house BBQ sauce for another layer of flavor, and I go with onions and diced peppers. They also offer hummus and falafel as sides along with fries. Grab some baklava for dessert and you're good to go. A regular size will run you almost $9 and a small around $7. You can also add extra protein (more meat)for an additional $2. Get a loyalty card and rack up the points for free items(a drink and even a meal) read more

Sad to take two stars off due to poor service. 1. The lady behind the counter gave us 1.5 pieces of bread when they were giving 4-5 on each platter. When we asked is that all the bread we are going to get, she said I can give you extra if you want. 2. We ordered a side of falafel and they kept forgetting about it. We reminded them 4 times. 3. They charged us for the sauce on the side. When we pointed it out, the supervisor coached the register woman that 'when sauce on the platter and side then charge. When not on the platter - no charge.' I can only hope that she understood (she looked pretty pissed). 4. They had those frequent buyer cards next to the register. No one was telling anyone about those unless asked. 5. There was some weird smell inside :/ Another thing I witnessed: the supervisor asked/told the rice girl to do something and the rice girl didn't like whatever the comment was and rolled her eyes and shook her head. Desi people are not very enthusiastic at work at times - sad. Update: food is not as good as the NYC halal guys. Full of oil and no taste. Do yourself a favor and go to Bismillah cafe. Way way better. Total disappointment. read more

If you want a real Halal Guys taste go to New York. Not to say the food here is bad. It taste great. It's just the service here is terrible. They give you that look like they're irritated you came. I ordered the regular combo platter and wanted a side of Falafel and extra sauce. After voicing my order my platter gets moved down towards the next person to place the meat. Once she seemed done with my platter I said politely I also wanted some Falafel... Then she threw my platter away. At that point I was confused. I asked her what's going on and she said I'll make you a Falafel platter. I told her that's not what I wanted I just wanted some Falafels on the side. She reconstructed my original platter again and told me I have to tell the guy at the end ( how am I suppose to know that ). Now my platter is moved to the next person to add sauce. I asked her extra sauce, she looked at me pissed and said they'll be an extra charge. Umm okay? I still want it. So she added another sliver of sauce.. As I recall in NY you get as much hot sauce / white sauce you want for free and they warn you the hot sauce is hot. But it's so good. Tip: how ever much hot sauce you use. Double the white sauce. Long story short : Food was good. Employees were trash. read more

Love the food but really guys.m, what part of "extra sauce" means don't include any sauce at all. I enjoyed the flavor but it was dry dry dry without the extra sauce you neglected to include. Disappointed. read more

Please read if you want an honest detailed review of this place. 1) This is a HUGE rip-off! 2) Basically, you can choose between a platter or a sandwich. 3) The platter costs $9.41 (including tax). All it has is a small scoop each of rice,lettuce & tomato and 2 small scoops of meat. They sometimes put 2-3 tiny bite size pieces of pita bread in there too. 4) If you chose the combo platter, you get 1 small scoop of chicken & 1 small scoop gyros, If you chose chicken platter, you get 2 small scoops of chicken, if you chose gyros platter, you get 2 small scoops of gyros . 5) The sandwich costs $7.27 (including tax). All it has is a tiny scoop of lettuce & tomato & 2 very small scoops of meat, depending on the type of meat you select, just like I mentioned for the platter above. 6) Now you can opt for 'Extra Protein' for additional $2 on either the platter or the sandwich, but all you are going to get is a very small extra scoop of Chicken or Gyro. 7)They designed it this way by making the 'platter' container very small and even without 'extra protein' it's pretty full and has no room for 'extra protein'. So even if you ask extra protein, they have the perfect excuse to just squeeze a 'little bit' of gyros or chicken in there just for the sake of adding 'extra protein' and it's just a waste of $2. 8) Now for the sauce- they have this 'white sauce' and 'red sauce'. All the white sauce contains is just a high fat variant of mayonnaise which is packed with fat & calories. The red sauce is just a very concentrated hot sauce. They charge you 50 cents for each tiny packet of white or red sauce if you want extra. That's a MAJOR rip-off right there. Who charges for an extra packet of sauce the size of a tiny ketchup packet? And that too 50 cents? Even places like Zaxbys who charge for extra ranch only charge 25 cents and their ranch is pretty sizable, not a very tiny ketchup packet! 9) Note that the white sauce on the side is also a whopping 330 calories with almost 300 calories packed with fat even though it's in a tiny 2 fl oz packet. 10) The rice is also extremely oily, maybe to make up for the dry gyros and chicken. So the goal here is create the most unhealthy food possible. 11) The reality is that this franchise when started in 1990 in NYC might have been something new back then for $5, but now there are much better franchises and restaurants like Mediterrenean Grill & Jerusalem Bakery that serve much higher quality meat, sauce and quantity for a cheaper price. 12) These guys just try to feed on the 'Hype' that started back in NYC and try to bump up the price so much that at this point it becomes a joke and anyone who keeps coming back to this are ignorant of the other restaurant options out there or just are blind followers who think this is the only place where they can come and get a bowl of chicken, lettuce, tomato & rice and have never even heard of restaurants like Moes & Chipotle. 13) If you happen to go here, the best option in my opinion, is the combo sandwich instead of the combo platter, since you get a full pita bread with a scoop of chicken & gyros, so you can taste both and get some lettuce & tomato. Only thing you're missing is the rice, which isn't worth the extra $2, since sandwich is $7.27 while the platter is $9.41. 14) Once you taste it, you'll gain satisfaction that you have tasted this 'overly hyped up' food, which is nothing special. The gryos looks gross to be honest and tastes that way as well and the chicken is just like the ones you would get at Moes or Chipotle - so again nothing special. The white sauce is not special at all - has no real taste - just a diluted version of mayonnaise. Hot sauce is just concentrated chilli powder paste - another waste. Mediterrenean grill has great tzatziki sauce and Jerusalem Bakery has great garlic sauce - both are special and thick and have great flavor. 15) The people who work there surely get a bunch of orders messed up - can't blame them - they work like machines all day - mostly adding lettuce, tomato, rice, chicken, gyros, white sauce, red sauce all day with NO breaks in between since there's mostly a line of people who are so blinded by the fact that there is nothing special about this place and that they're just going with the crowd without thinking and realizing this is just a cult like following without any special taste in the food, especially when there are tons of better, tastiier, cheaper, healthier choices out there. That's it folks, Hope you guys found this review helpful. read more

Finally got a chance to try HG, and I really didn't like it much. The hot sauce was probably the best part (and most unique), but it wasn't anything spectacular. It must be the hype! I would suggest Gyro Bros or Pita by the Beirut as a back up! read more

This is not worth the stop. the meat is ultra dry. not cut to order but rather cut, reheated, put in a container to be served as customers come in. The flavor is no better than mall food. And this is the embarrassment, the sauce is mayonnaise based not yogurt. Spare yourself the disappointment and go elsewhere. read more

Rice quality has decreased. Looks like over-boiled rice. Staff isn't helpful. Chicken is over cooked and sits on griddle for long time that it loses the freshness and juiciness. They focus on money and quantity than quality. read more

The Halal Guys - Halal Near Me - Chamblee, Georgia

Wanted to try the place because I heard about how popular it was in NY but I didn't want to get a ticket all the way to NY. The portions are huge for the price. I got the regular combo platter, which included beef, chicken, rice, pita, and lettuce (and tomatoes but I opted out). The beef was too dry for my liking but the chicken was better. I put the white sauce and red sauce on it because the other people in front of me were really laying it on. I felt like the white sauce had a subtle taste to it (but helped with the dryness of the beef) and the red sauce definitely gave it a kick of spiciness but it wasn't overwhelming. I would definitely come here for lunch if the location was more convenient. All in all, I think everyone should try the place. read more

What is this bullshit I thought this was supposed to be Greek food. What is this waxy yellow cheese in this nasty ass white sauce. This does not represent the picture that was on Uber eats I will be disputing this charge ASAP this shit is gross and who stands in line for this ? read more

See all

Halal Guys, a delicious and filling fast food option. The business started out as a food cart option in NYC several years ago. The premise was to offer a halal fast food option to the city. It caught on quick! Fast forward and now we have a Halal Guys in Atlanta and they are expanding all over the southeast. The food is solid, comes guilt free, and digestive distress free; which is a huge plus. To be honest, I love it. Quick, friendly service, get it in a platter/bowl or pita sandwich style! Chicken, Beef Gyro, combo of the two or falafel options are available. Side of hummus? No problem. Baklava for dessert? Yep! Try your main course with their famous white or hot sauces. Or be daring and try both! read more

I've had The Halal Guys when they first Opened last year and ate it everyday for a good week smh. It was that good lol. I worked in the area previously so it was easy to access. I moved on the other side of town and decided since i was out in Chamblee i would eat it for lunch. Just as good as i remembered. Today i ate the chicken gyro. It was great! Beware of the hot sauce if you don't like spicy things or don't like things too hot then steer clear b/c it will open your sinuses. The white sauce Is great as well and the staff are generous with adding it to your order or you can purchase it on the side. I also had a side of falafels which were very fresh! Everything was tasty, staff extremely friendly! Definitely will be back read more

I am not a big reviewer unless I definitely feel the need to let people know about the place or topic I am reviewing whether it be positive or negative. I have lived in NY/NJ all my life up until 2 years ago. I used to eat Halal guys 2-3 times a month for years.... I've stood in the lines for 45 mins to an hour in the freezing cold just to have a delicious platter of goodness!!! When I heard they franchised and we're coming to Atlanta, I was excited... I definitely didn't expect the food to taste exactly the same because it was a franchise and they usually never the same..But whatever, I wanted to see how it compared. First drawback... in NY, you would go there whether in the middle of the night after going out or midday and would get a Huge platter with whatever you wanted on it for $6 bucks.. If you wanted a extra sauce, sure no problem.. if you wanted jalapeños or extra rice, sure no problem...it made you feel like home; it made you feel like you were wanted to come back. Here, they have a small platter for $8 and large for $10 which was more than I was used to but no big deal, it's cool that they're here! I asked for a combo platter with no salad, no bread. Then I moved down the line and asked for jalapeños. The server placed them on the platter... then I asked for extra white sauce (which is definitely a staple in NYC) and they obliged. I went to the cash register and my platter came out to 11.89 for a small. I thought to myself why??! I checked the receipt and they charged me for the jalapeños and charged me for extra sauce... I'm not a stickler and don't mind paying for extra things, but that left a negative feel for my first time Trying the new franchise. Halal guys in NYC initially got popular because they catered to cab drivers providing a good, plentiful meal that was inexpensive and yet delicious. Ok, over the stupid upcharges and let's get to the platter. I am telling you right now, the food was cold and absolutely did not taste like the Halal guys in NYC. NOT EVEN CLOSE! It's not worth the 40 minute trek I did just to try it. Food was not good, upcharges do not make me want to come back, and if they want to open 6 within the Atlanta market, they better come up with a better game plan!! Chipotle doesn't charge you if you want to add corn or sour cream... don't pennypinch people because no one likes that feeling! Won't return... read more

My goal is try all Halal Guys locations across the United States! So far, I have LA and SF checked off the list. I did not even know they had one in Georgia until I randomly stumbled upon this hidden gem. I decided to order the chicken platter. Just like the other locations I have been to, the ordering process and menu are the same. Pricing is very similar too. I ordered fairly close to the restaurants closing time. Needless to say, I got clumps of hard rice. However, that is my only complaint. Everything else was up to par. I would recommend trying this place! read more

It was great when the place opened but the quality of food and service has deteriorated. I wasn't expecting NYC quality in ATL, but it was sub par compared to other places in Buford Highway. read more

Having come from a small island where shwarma was a common dish I was reluctant to try it here but it was amazing! The line is usually long but it goes by quickly. The red sauce is very spicy so don't judge it by how much they give you but it truly is incredible! read more

There are not many places to get a gyro in this area. When I saw The Halal guys open I was excited. They do not have lamb gyro. They do not have feta cheese. They do not have taziki sauce. Despite this I decided to give it a try. I got a beef gyro. I did not finis it. Took maybe 3 bites to be sure. The gyro at Arby's are better than this. I won't return. It is clean just not for me not enough flavor. The tea is really good on a positive note. read more

Very ill prepared. Waited in line for an hour, finally make it to the front and got told that it would be ANOTHER 45min wait if I wanted rice!!! Are you joking?!?! So then what are the employees and the managers there for??? Common decency would have been to tell the patrons that have been waiting prior to the rice finishing that they need to make more! Horrible business practice! read more

This is a hard review to write. Anyone who has live in New York knows Halal Guys. They serve great food, and they have a special place in many people's hearts. However, this is not the Halal Guys I know and love. The food is totally different from what you find in New York. It is inauthentic and has a weak taste. I'd stay away. read more

I really like this place - not sure why it only has three stars. The beef is super flavorful and the chicken is good too. The hot sauce is HAWT so beware!!! I usually get the small combo which is more than enough. Sometimes I splurge on the baklava, which is also delicious. This is a good affordable lunch spot and the service is always quick. read more

As a newly transplanted New Yorker, I'm very familiar with Halal guys or "street meat" as we call it. In New York, Halal Guys is very good food... for street meat that you get at 2am before drunkenly hopping into your Uber home. I was very confused when I heard it was coming to Atlanta as a restaurant. Nonetheless, me and my sister checked it out for dinner last night. We told the first server we wanted 2 platters in which he filled the foil bowl with rice, lettuce, and tomatoes. After that it was all downhill. The second server was extremely confused as to whose order was whose regarding the person in front of us. He ended up throwing away a platter that was unclaimed. After a short wait for the other server to fry our falafel, we noticed back down the line there was more confusion with whose platter was whose with new customers. They ended up throwing away another two platters. One of the final servers gave us two free sodas for our wait, which was nice. It was really surprising to see almost 4 different servers responsible for fixing the platters and gyros, which was classic too many cooks in the kitchen syndrome resulting in the confusion.Even on the most busiest days, Chipotle, a restaurant with a similar build your own meal concept, never has more than two servers. Also I was surprised to see the white sauce was so regulated. There is nothing special about these platters- it's just shaved meat and iceberg lettuce in a platter, it's the sauce that makes the meal tasty. They should be giving it out by the bowl fulls in order to give the food taste, it's just street meat after all. I probably will not return to this Atlanta location, but when I'm back in New York I'll definitely grab this street meat 2 AM after a drunken bar night. read more

If you get separate sauce they charge you extra that doesn't make sense but a bit worried about 2-3 bucks but hidden charges are definitely disappointing overall they been good and food is amazing read more

Oh, the hype. The fervent expectations and unabated enthusiasm. I'm familiar with The Halal Guys from NYC...and so it made sense that there was quite the anticipation for their ATL opening. Even I, the venerable vegetarian, had my interest peaked from the savory thought of crispy warm falafels doing backflips into a streaming current of white sauce. The wifey and I went to grab a bite for a quick Sunday lunch. We were immediately met by a long line. We stood in line for 30 minutes before we could put in our order in for a falafel sandwich and falafel platter. It was pretty apparent that their staff was overwhelmed by the rush...and the cleanliness of their food line as well as the dining area exhibited that fairly clearly. The falafels themselves were at room temperature. I guess it'd be too much to ask for for them to fresh fry it, but still...room temperature falafel ain't exactly a Middle Eastern delicacy. The sandwich itself was fairly simple. Just lettuce, tomatoes, falafel, white sauce, and optional hot sauce. Not a ton of flavor and not well made. Pretty bland overall. The white sauce gave it a bit of flavor, but not much. It'd be great if they offered more veggies like other falafel joints. Maybe some pickles? Tabbouleh? My wife's platter was more of the same, but with rice - which wasn't well flavored either. We had to repeatedly ask for more white sauce...which...for whatever reason, was only available by asking for more at the counter. The bathrooms were completely shut down and the dining area needed to be cleaned. I can't understand why there are lines out of the door. I left disappointed and uninspired to return. Pita Pit is a much better option. read more

This establishment was mediocre at best. The service was brash and the food did not seem fresh. Would much rather wait in line for 30 minutes in NYC heat for the real thing. Did not meet expectations. read more

What's going on halal guys. I love the food ever since I had it in NY, but doraville location is a hit or miss. I basically go there every week; I don't expect to have service or anything, but jeez. Can the worker stop talking and focus on the customer. I get so annoyed by how slow the workers are and they constantly talking to each other. I love the food but I don't think I will be back. read more

They wanna charge you 50 cents for each pack of hot sauce. In New York, if you ask for some hot sauce, they'll give you a hand full. They don't want to put the extra protein on the side, they want to put it on the plate. And the beef is extremely greasy, especially if they scoop it from the bottom. No wonder why they're slow as hell compared to the other Halal Guys. read more

Im really feeling Halal Guys. It took me a while to get over there after reading the mixed reviews. With that being said, Halal Guys is A-1 in my book. Ive had three different items and all were banging (very tasty) The chicken gyro, the beef gyro, the falafel plate... its all seasoned and cooked perfectly. The sauces are gourmet. Trust me, i have very keen sensitive taste buds that are hypersensitive to bullshit. read more

Love it! They can't make the food hot enough with the extra sauce. Parking and seating can be tricky at times, but the food is well worth it. read more

This place was on okay. There are not too many options and especially if you eat vegetarian. Plenty of parking, staff was friendly and it was very clean. read more

3 stars for reducing the serving size of chicken/ gyro and half scoop of rice. $8.79 for 3/4th bowl of lettuce and tomatoes with less rice and protein. Have been here during the opening day and couple of times later and the serving portion was good for the price you pay. Being a regular customer for halal guys this is definitely a let down for us. Tastes the same as you get in New York but quantity is too less. In New York the food is good for the taste, more quantity of rice and protein and sauce for the price. Do not be stingy with your serving portions. read more

Great service from the staff they did a great job and had positive attitudes, great smiles and informed me of all my questions. First I got the chicken platter with the white and red sauce which are both amazing, if you can't handle hot at all don't get the red sauce. The chicken was amazing and the white sauce was the icing cake I'd come back here for a good quick late lunch because it gets really busy lunch time at noon the line is out the door every time I drive by when I work read more

I'm a frequent customer at this location. Used to eat at the New York location years ago. Always a great meal, no matter if you go for lunch or late. Very consistent. A large platter is big enough for two meals for me. No better meal for the $$$! read more

We tried the chicken and the gyro and both were excellent. Each of us got the small and it was plenty of food. It is served in a aluminum container so you can eat there or take it to go. They start with a little bit of rice lettuce and tomato and then add the meat and sauce on top. The white sauce is delicious, the red sauce was way too spicy for me. If you like spice though, the red sauce is for you. Service is fast food style where you order at the counter and get your dish at the end. The staff was incredibly friendly and walked around with extra sauce to ask if we wanted any. We did! We will be back again. The menu is very limited but as long as you find something you like it doesn't need to be any larger. read more

10/10 would recommend. I've been to two locations outside of NYC and they never really taste exactly the same as the OG food carts (sadly) but still I am in love with halal guys 100% and it's always delicious. I order the same damn thing every time (chicken plate w/two lines of red sauce). SO YUMMY ya can't go wrong read more

The food is great!! Be sure to get extra white sauce!! While it's often crowded, the staff does an awesome job in getting you in and out without making you feel rushed!!! read more

Love this place! Came out for the anniversary lunch. Come out support and enjoy your gyro!

I am from NYC and the quality of food here is not the same. They seasoned well but the white sauce is absolutely not tzatiki sauce, it was bland, no flavor once so ever. read more

Bleh. Nothing like the Halal Guys from NY. Chicken was all precooked and sitting in the stainless steel food pan waiting to be scooped up. By the time I sat down to eat, the food wasn't even warm. read more

Having been to Halal Guys from NYC where they started from a food cart on the streets, they have come a far way. The food is great and there is plenty of food for a dish that is under $10. There isn't much to choose from, but there isn't any reason to have to decide on having anything but their combo to try everything. Only recommendation is to be careful of the "red sauce" (very spicy hot sauce) They also have a rewards program and is good if you are a frequent customer. read more

I'm from NY and this was just like having a piece of home here in Atlanta. We go every Friday since they have opened! The only difference is that the portions are smaller. Other than that the food is great! read more
