    View from car! Excited to get here
    Money F.

    I wanted to like this sooooo bad but it didn't stand out. Please see my review for Halal Guys NYC. The NYC food was so delicious I couldn't shake the flavor and saw that there was a location in Chicagoland area ran by same company. It just didn't hit the same. I think those guys in NYC need to make a trip to this location and give training on how to achieve the flavors. I SERIOUSLY doubt I return to this location. The customer service was nice but thats it! I was so excited I tipped on a carryout before even trying the food because again NY had me so impressed.

    I'd have to say, this chain has come a long way since I first tried them at 7th Ave in NYC about a decade back. I few touches here and there have been tweaked. I still adore this chain though. But only because we have none in Detroit. Anyways, we ordered 4 combo platters off the drive through with everything on it. Two of them will serve as our road trip back to Detroit meal. The other two,, is none of your business. Everything is very good, although I don't really know all about that green peppers deal. But I'm sure its not because of the location. It's because someone from higher up prolly thought it was a good idea. Don't get me wrong. I still adore a proper combo platter. Just hold the green peppers next time. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!!!

    Small Chicken Platter with White Sauce Pouch

    Food was pretty good. I ordered a small platter thru Uber Eats. Chicken and rice was a bit bland no real flavor Huge packet of white sauce. What put this over the top was the hot sauce packet. I'll try this again to see if this was a one time error.

    Gyro Platter Baklava Hummus and falafel

    I loved this fast casual Mediterranean spot! It was my first time visiting one of these locations and I am glad I did! I order a side of falafel which was delicious. Hot and seasoned well! Then I ordered hummus with pita and a chicken and gyro combination plate which was delightful! Also ended with the house-made baklava which baklava- how can you ever go wrong? It was delish perfect balance of sweet and I will definitely visit again. The establishment was clean, the food was hot and fresh and the customer service was great- the 2 workers on shift were nice and informative. They do have a signature white sauce that is a cross between taziziki and ranch. I wasn't a huge fan of that, I like my traditional tazizki sauce but I won't hold that against them! Lots of people love it, just not me.

    The Halal Guys is a halal fast casual restaurant franchise that began as a food cart on the south-east corner of 53rd Street and Sixth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. They first opened for business in 1990 and 25 years later they now have several US Locations and 4 international locations. That being said, I had pretty high expectations going here. I have never been to NY but it seems as if their food would be pretty close or on par with food found in Chicago, which is a huge compliment. Upon entering the location we were greeted by the friendly cashier. Their were multiple people behind the counter creating orders, everyone was friendly! The place is bright, spacious and very clean. The food here is pretty pricey, depending on what you order. I opted for a falafel plate, mostly because I'm a pescatarian, because I wanted it with Hummus, I ordered a large plate. That ended up not being a good idea, because I pretty much paid an extra $1 just for fillers. When you order a falafel plate, you get mostly fillers, which is disappointing due to the price. The large plate is full of lettuce, tomatoes, rice and about 4-5 falafel balls. That's not a lot of food for almost $10. In addition to that, if you want hummus you have to pay extra. I believe it's around an additional $2.99 for hummus. Overall I had an ok experience here, I have no complaints other than the prices, oh yeah and the Spicy hummus! I wasn't overly pleased with the spicy hummus, it was too SPICY for my taste. The falafel balls weren't bad, not the best I've ever had but they weren't bad. I may try them again one day and try the regular hummus and a smaller falafel bowl, who knows. I have so many options in the area, only time will tell.

    Given that I had already been to the original Halal guys cart in NYC, I was sort of nervous to try this place. Nevertheless, the chicken plate with rice and pita was delicious!! The food tasted pretty much similar to the original food I tried in NYC. I liked how I can get my food here and sit and eat there inside the restaurant vs having to stand outside on the street to eat it. I enjoyed it a bit more because of having that comfort. The people working here were really nice. They gave us as much extra white sauce and red sauce as we wanted. They also sell white sauce here for anyone who wants that for reasonable price. I would definitely recommend this place and will be coming back in future.

    I just moved and this was great news that this Halal Guys is just 10 minutes from me. I've always loved HG and have no problems with it. The restaurant was clean, service was nice, workers were nice, so no complaints. I look forward to returning!

    Can't go wrong with these guys. It's as good as the original spot in NY. Tastes great and plenty of food for your money. They don't skimp out at all!!! Picked up thru the drive thru and had a 25min drive home. Even after the log drive, still tasted great!

    Food is very mediocre. Wish they had actual tzatziki sauce it would've made a difference. Also overpriced. Don't think we will be back.

Luckily I hopped on Yelp and to my surprise, found Damascus Falafel extremely close. This was just such a good experience, I purchased two chicken wraps + a soda + small tip all for 25$. In this day of age, that is a fair price for essentially food for two people. This was a well sized wrap, you pick your wrap + protein + veggies + sauces. I did the chicken w/ cucumber salad + green salad, hummus, pickles, feta, garlic and tahini. After you make your selection it will then be press grilled. The wrap absolutely hit the spot(everything tasted fresh) , the flavors all worked together and I'm literally thinking of going back today because it was so good. Also like to add there is tons of room as well in here. The service was also very friendly too and helpful. Between the food, the fair pricing, good customer service, this is a must try spot and excited to have it in my local rotation.

It was tasty, but I wish the carrots were cooked more to soften them. The mixed grill platter had chicken and beef kabobs, as well as something like a kefta (ground meat) kabob. The meats and rice were good, although the beef and chicken could have been more tender and juicy. The white sauce was a nice accompaniment. The lamb shank was excellent; nice tender meat, tasty rice, and delicious supplemental flavors from the figs and apricots. Overall, a very nice lunch.
