So I been going to this location for years (Pretty much since college) and I will say idk if I would say Halal Guys is the best platter place. But mannnnn they white sauce and seasoned rice is sooooooo freaking good its hard to hate this place. I haven't been in a year or 2 but literally hit exactly the same like it did in college. Service wise it was pretty good and the decor is simple does the job! read more

I was really looking forward to my lamb and spicy chicken bowl. It was made exactly how I wanted it, I paid, and then looked down at the counter and saw multiple roaches crawling around. I personally counted at least FIVE. What concerned me even more was that they were on the counter area connected to where the food containers are kept. After seeing that, I wasn't comfortable eating anything from there. I pointed them out to the employee. He was polite and immediately refunded my money, which I appreciated, but he didn't seem particularly surprised by what I showed him. I'm only speaking on what I personally witnessed, and seeing that many roaches around a food-service area was enough for me to leave without eating. Very disappointing. read more

love the food but the ojo system that handles the delivery side of things is a total disaster. after four of us tried and hit barrier after barrier and became trapped in loop after loop we finally gave up and ordered chic fil a. Halal Guys needs to terminate their partnership with ojo and find a company that actually wants to help them. the current situation is losing them our business. read more

I love me a good trashy but tasty meal that will punish your stomach the next day. I like this location- the food is fresh and hot. Service is usually friendly. Ordering on the app is nice for the points but they're hit or miss with special requests (lettuce and tomato on the side). Like other restaurants, ordering in person is always best (more accurate and more generous). I usually get the chicken platter with only lettuce and tomato and sauce on the side. Rice and chicken are seasoned well. They used to have a spicy hummus, which was actually spicy and delicious. I got their fries once and they're good and hold up well to time- not instantly soggy. I also love their pita bread- specifically the chopped up one and not the whole. It's softer and chewier. I will come back for good food and another stomach ache! Their hot sauce is my fave. Super flavorful, smokey, tangy, yum. read more

Food was delicious and customer service was great! 10/10. I had the sandwich and took home a plate. Solid!

Always good service and food...they also give you so much. Unlike Subway, at Subway I always have to argue for extra onions. Sub costs $12 but have to ask multiple times for few extra pieces of onions. Hard to find good subway nowadays with lousy franchise owners. Anyway, Halal Guys food and service is great here. read more

I had Halal Guys deliver lunch to an office for work and it did not disappoint! The food was fresh and filling. The sauces are great too. I made a chicken Schwarma bowl with lettuce, tomato, rice, and white sauce. Yum! read more

The Halal Guys - Chicken Schwarma bowl with white sauce - Halal Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Love that we have one of these so close to home. It will never be as good as the original cart in NYC, but lets be real, these are much cleaner and way more convenient to get to! This is in University Mall which has plenty of parking and is always busy with young people (George Mason is right across the street). The restaurant has a few seats,but I mainly come here for pick up. I have a regular order of the chicken platter with all the free fixings with white sauce on the side. It's always delicious and quick and it's always sure to make the fam happy when I bring it home! read more

I have nothing negative to say about this place. The food never misses (combination gyro and chicken bowl) and customer service also never misses. I've tried their baklava a few times now whenever my sweet tooth kicks in and it always hits the spot. read more

Went to this location about 11:30pm on a Saturday. It's posted that it's open until 1am. Two people were inside, one cleaning and the other stocking the refrigerator. I knocked because the door was locked, they ignored me and kept going on about their business as if I wasn't there. One guy behind the counter told the other one I was there and he pointed to me, and he ignored me and must've told the other one to do the same because he went back to doing what he was doing and then sat down facing me when he was done. Rude workers. I can only think they can do that because management allows it. Never coming back. read more

Personally, I love this location and have not had any problems with the food or service. Although, sometimes there can be long lines and waits since it's close to a university and bars. This is also because this location isn't too big, but it is always kept clean. The Halal Guys is my number one go to for quick food. I always get the regular combo platter. For the most part, everything is cooked and seasoned well and you get your food immediately. They are generous with the meat portions which I love. You truly get your money's worth in my opinion. Whenever I'm super hungry or after a night out this is the place I'll go. The manager at this location is also super friendly, and the staff is always professional. I would recommend downloading their app as you get points every time you order which you can use towards getting free food and drinks! read more

I ordered an beef plate, and the bread smelled horribly wrong. It was like mildew smelled or something like that. I would not come back because I am afraid on the condition of there foods. read more

I'm getting addicted to their beef gyro bowl! The portions are a great size for dinner.

This free meal card was provided to me by an employee which the manager recognized his name and refused to honor the card. I think that's just bad business. read more

The Halal Guys - Free meal card not honored by acting manager, Safi. No expiration. - Halal Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

We ordered halal guys from uber eats. It took the restaurant 1 hour to prepare the food from the time the order was placed. By the time the food arrived it had been 2 hours since the order was placed. The order was wrong: toppings were added to my husband's platter that was not ordered, while mine was missing toppings. We ordered extra sauces. No sauces came with our order. The soda was missing. No utensils or napkins were provided. Overall disappointing. read more

Honestly, the food here has never LOOKED super appetizing to me, but once I tried it, I was a fan. I've only ever tried the beef and chicken platter (more like a bowl). I like to add hummus to mine, it gives it some more moisture. Otherwise the bowl can be a little on the dry side. The white sauce is very good and the hot sauce is good too but very spicy (for me), so my advice would be to use it sparingly across the bowl. I've never sat inside this location - always gotten to-go and been happy with the quality. The best part of this meal is the portion size - I am always stuffed after eating halal guys. The pita bread is great too. read more

The Halal Guys - Chicken & Beef Gyro Platter - Halal Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Love this place, and the kind employees whom work here. What a great group of folks, and such a welcoming environment. I must say Halal Guys hires well, and it shows very much so at this location. Fast and friendly service, and my goodness is this one clean too. That alone makes me even more enthusiastic, to return and dine on their delicious foods. The chicken platter is my usual, but occasionally I'll go with the beef one. Both are exceptional. Along with salad, vegetables, and white sauce it's quite healthy. Do be careful with the hot sauce though. If your first time, one or two stripes max. Good sides too, but I'm content with the fresh meats and vegetables. There are soft drinks, or you can get a bottle of water. This is very good power food for lifting as well. read more

Service is chill and the food is something to die forrr omg. If you're a big fan of chicken/meat and love dressings like ranch/bbq you'll definitely love this place. Not sure why the star rating is so low, it's my favorite go to spot read more

Tastes just like the NYC street cart I remember from 53rd and 6th! The gyro platter is my fave. Always get the white sauce AND bbq sauce. Yes, they charge if you want extra white sauce. YES, it's worth it! The red sauce is like "from hell" spicy. Be careful with that stuff. Great... Now I'm craving Halal Guys... read more

The Halal Guys - Gyro platter with white sauce and BBQ sauce! - Halal Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I have been numerous times and everything has been consistent aside from the price. I noticed that the price went up though :( it used to be 18 dollars FLAT for two regular platters, but now its 21 dollars for two regular platters. However, the portion of the food is still plenty. I feel like I can split the regular platter into two meals!!! Service has always been very friendly and fast! I typically get the chicken platter, and it is moist! Not dry at all! I love adding the white sauce and red sauce, because it adds more flavor. BEWARE of the red sauce, it is SPICY!!! I believe its made out of ghost pepper....well thats what the worker said! Overall, great place to get a big portion of flavorful food for a good price!!!! read more

I usually absolutely love Halal Guys. We are regular customers. We have taken out of town visitors there. But I ordered carryout on New Year's Day night. I ordered a combo platter with falafel. The salad was packed with food. They didn't skimp. But the contents were dried out and over salty. Still, I ate it. Unfortunately, the food made me so very sick that night. Unusually sick. I'll be taking a break from Halal Guys for a while. read more

I'm sure the staff knows me by now because I'm obsessed. I literally come at least once a week for a chicken platter. It's nothing fancy, but it's more than just fast food. The halal guys is definitely my go-to for a quick delicious meal! Make sure to load up on that white sauce; something about it will keep you coming back! read more

Got it from DoorDash. It was my first time having Halal Guys. This is pretty good stuff. I got the chicken bowl. My one complaint is that I'd enjoy more variety in the toppings. It was also supposed to come with tomatoes and it didn't. I got the large and it didn't seem that big. The chicken, rice and Pita was all pretty good. The lettuce was fresh enough but just iceberg. The hot sauce was so hot it was inedible. The white sauce was good. Some people suggested that you should get extra white sauce, but one packet seemed to be enough for me. read more

Pros: *Ordered the 'Chicken Platter' (w/ no veggies). Food was hot + flavorful. *One of the few "healthy" fast-casual chains that is open late (until 11PM/12 AM). *Only $1 more to go from small to regular platter + food is good value for the quality/price ($12.60). Cons: *White sauce (signature sauce) is tasty, but so unhealthy (300 calories + 36 g of fat in one pack). *Eaten at this location twice + the meat has been a bit too salty (but the coolness of the white sauce balances it out.) *They charge extra for certain toppings (olives, jalapeños, tahini sauce, HUMMUS - which sucks because I love hummus.) Overall: Reliable, fast late-night spot, especially when looking for healthy/filling options. Simple menu, quality food + friendly service - will definitely return. read more

Halal Guys in University Mall, Fairfax stands out as one of my few favorites. The basics, of course, is that the place is very clean, a bit small, but ample for seating and small groups. Large windows offer light. They've added basic outdoor seating. I like every staff member I have met, who all greet me when entering. They are friendly, smiles, warm greetings. The food is very good. It's protein, rice, lettuce, and tomatoes, add onions and green pepper, other items optional, with Mediteranean/ maybe Egyptian mild spices. They offer a HOT version by adding their special sauce - I take 7 strips. I appreciate that their portions are ample. They are open to accommodate special requests. They have optional desserts. I get the sense that the restaurant appreciates their customers and they work hard at making me, the customer, feel important and welcome. I continue to be a regular customer. I have looked at other Halal-like restaurants, and find none that meet the high standards that I now have from my experience with this one store. read more

My first visit ever . I wanted a fresh gyro I have seen many ads about the new york place . First the wasn't any meat on the meat spits or cooker . Everything was served like a cafeteria . The meat was ok - needs seasoning- too much salad and white sauce was not as good as tzazaki and too much of it .When I opened my sandwich the big wave of topping fell down looking like cole slaw . I think you have a great concept . Hang the meat up on the cooker or spit so people can see it - less filling and sauce then you will get way better feed back read more

Wrote a review 5 years ago when they opened up. Became a "member", got their app, etc., etc. Get an e-amil from Halal Guys Marketing in NY saying Ethat since I haven't been there in awhile "Enjoy your next order 50% off". Stop by, try to get the order placed via the app, it's not working, crew asks the manager to look at it. He says "its a third party." I said, " how can a third party connect to my app on my phone? And the address issuing the e-mail is from Halal Guys (marketing@thehalalguysny.com)". Him, "well I can give you 10% off". You share a wall with Taco Bamba, there's McDonalds and Dominos not even 50 feet from the store. Tropical, Velocity Wings and Wendys' plus how many other sit down restaurants in the plaza? Nope - wrong answer. read more

Geared towards the American taste not what one would expect for gyro. Where is the cucumber? They don't offer it. The platter is a bit overpriced and the base game is very orange tasteless rice. Every thing you would expect to be included is not. Green pepper, tomatoes and lettuce is what comes with the platter with some soggy pita bread. read more

It's a bit hot inside 2 times I went there. But last time the a.c. seems to have been working properly. Parking is not the greatest. The combo platter is so good and the regular size is plenty!! So easy to get hooked on this food. Craving it now while im writing this.... Customer service is up and down but not bad, usually pretty friendly. I like how someone always comes by the tables with extra sauce. In NYC they never gave me enough sauce and long lines and it was outside. Oh the fries are basically the crinkle cut from grocery. Plain with rock salt maybe? But they give u a good amount. Just thought it would be different. read more

Eat it at your own risk. I love Halal guys & their sauces. Everything tastes great & its good choice for lunch/dinner. Yet every time, i eat halal guys seems like I end up getting sick. I am saying it because i got sick 3 times after eating Halal guys. I didnt want to leave a bad review because I actually like their food but i am not sure if I will return. There are other good kabob places as well as Mediterranean food choices in NoVa. read more

Best halal guys by far. Super friendly staff, very efficient, and always gives large portions

So if you ever been to NYC and have eaten chicken and rice from one of the food vendors on the street and you come here ... you will be disappointed unfortunately. The OG halal guys in NYC have it right, these guys not so much. So I ordered the combo platter which consist of chicken and gyro meat with some veggies, spicy rice (no option for white rice) and some white sauce. $9 ( rounded up) Lets just say the disappointment came from the luke warm food and dry chicken and gyro meat. The only thing hot on my plate was the hot sauce .... lol . The proteins were not flavorful nor was the 'spicy" rice.. so disappointed You were kinda forced to pay the extra $ .50 for the extra side of sauce to make up for all the dry food. The only reason why I gave 3 stars instead of 2 or 1 is that one of the workers made his rounds with extra sauce ... yup he actually went around and asked if people wanted extra sauce . read more

one thing I wanted to say that I'm impressed by this location is the customer service, every time I ask for extra white sauce, the guy there always gives it to me for free! It's this kind of service that helps a lot and makes the customer feel good (getting free things!). As for the food, its good and portions are good especially the large platter. I usually can't finish it all. read more

I don't recommend this establishment. The food is greasy, way too much sauce and the chicken is chewy. read more

Delicious food however you need to realize you are not the only restaurant open. Out of all the restaurants I have been to this one does not offer bathroom to customers. Absolutely disgusting business practice to be honest. Update: you had no bathrooms for customers, that's all there is to say. Service was good but basic human right to a bathroom was denied. read more

Got the chicken shawarma and beef platter. Really liked the beef and the chicken shawarma was pretty good too. Definitely get the white sauce. I wish they added more topping options as I did not like most of the selections they had. Pita bread was pretty soft and good. Service was great! read more

I was so excited when I opened my yelp and found out I lived near a halal guys! I had them in New York and the line was super long, probably stretching a block. So I was excited when I walked in to the store and the line wasn't too long. At the store they have a lot of more variety on their menu. In addition to what they normally offer they also offer hummus, fries, and baba ganouj. I got the combo platter, with spicy hummus a lot of white sauce and bbq sauce. The spicy hummus was really spicy, almost as spicy as their hot sauce. So I would recommend avoiding the spicy hummus and go with the regular hummus. As for the platter, it tasted similar to the halal guys cart I had in New York, but it wasn't as good of quality. The meat was a little too salty, but thankfully I got a lot of sauce to mask some of the saltiness. Overall, Halal guys is a pretty good place if you haven't had it before. Their white sauce is amazingly good. So if you ever go to halal guys make sure you get a lot of their white sauce. read more

The Halal Guys - Both chicken and gyro with hummus, white and bbq sauce - Halal Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Don't go on a FRIDAY NIGHT! Only 3 ppl working. The chicken tasted uncooked and the rice is stale. Definitely not worth the 30 min wait and they did an online order before attending me after already waiting for over 20 mins to be placed on another hold until they finished the online order of the guy standing behind me originally in the line. read more

I only stopped in to takeaway, but was perfectly happy with my experience at this Halal Guys. Staff was friendly, food was delicious, and my visit was right-quick! I got the combo platter (chicken and gyro meat), with extra white sauce. I always forget to ask them to add tomatoes -- gotta remember that! The biggest problem with this location is honestly the parking lot. Since it shares the big open U-Mall lot with the grocery store, coffee shops, and restaurants nearby, it took a surprising amount of circling just to snag a spot! read more

The Halal Guys has one of the tastiest spicy sauce known to man. It has fresh vegetables, but could have fresher meat. White sauce is a must. Decent amount of food for $10-12. read more
