This location is in a convenient part of Glendale, but parking around here can definitely be a pain sometimes. Usually the place itself isn't too crowded though, which I like. Staff was friendly and service was quick. I ordered the limited time Lamb & Beef Gyro Platter ($15.95). Portion size was solid -- about half salad/lettuce and half rice with meat. The meat itself was actually really good and flavorful. Big plus that it's halal too. I added spicy pita bread for an extra $0.60, but honestly it just looked like they sprinkled spicy seasoning on top of the pita. Overall, the plate felt a little pricey compared to similar spots. Kind of basic and not super memorable, but still tasty enough that I finished everything. To be fair though, I was hungry. Also, maybe it's just me, but the white sauce tasted a little different than I remember from before. Nothing amazing, nothing bad either. Ambiance 3/5. Just a solid quick meal with friendly service. read more

I never thought I'd be writing a negative review, especially after raving about this location for years. To preface, I still love Halal Guys and think the food tastes great--this review is really just about this specific location. As someone who has been going to halal guys in New York long before they expanded locations outside of the state, unfortunately I feel this place went from super generous and customer-focused to overly stingy and corporate. When I asked for extra onions, one of the workers told me he could only do a maximum of two scoops. Fine--I had no issue with that. What threw me off was that he then started explaining (more like lecture) on how they have to account for the extra cost of onions because it's additional supply they have to purchase... which just felt unnecessary. I would've been totally okay without the explanation, but after years of steadily increasing prices and smaller portions, hearing that just didn't sit right. Then when I asked for "less lettuce," the same worker made a point to tell me that doesn't mean I'd get extra rice. Again, I understand the logic from a business standpoint, but the constant (unnecessary) micromanaging and disclaimers really took away from the experience and made it clear that customer experience is no longer a priority. Unfortunate because halal guys used to be my go-to Chan restaurant for a reasonably priced, generously portioned meal. read more

I'm originally from Queens, NYC and enjoyed the wave of Halal Guys in Manhattan that emerged during the late 90's early 2000's I believe. I remember going when the lines weren't too long and enjoying the delicious dishes for a good price with some personality flare delivering the fanfare from the workers. I'm happy to have one local, especially with all the Armenian, Mediterranean and middle eastern cuisine that mostly the Armenian diaspora bring to the table in Glendale, and as an aside, for which we're lucky to have local. So this spot is good, and filling and is surrounded by a lot of good competition. Service is always fast. And consistency is always spot on. The spot is a simple fast food sit down counter to table restaurant and is a chill vibe. read more

I got the beef gyro platter with chopped green peppers, chopped onions, jalapeños, tomatoes, lettuce last night for to go. There were a few tables inside. It was brightly lit. It looked pretty clean. The menus were on tv screens. The portion size was perfect. I was full at the end of my meal. The employee didn't take too long making it. The beef gyro platter didn't agree with my stomach hours later unfortunately. read more

The first location I drove to it was closed, this was the second stop. The establishment was really empty and slow. Highly air conditioned so it was cold. Already they did not have tomato toppings and the scoop of meats was a bit skimpy. The servers in the assembly line would scoop the meat and then shake it off, like wtf. They limited the white sauce to two per plate and the packaging isn't the original yellow red design and it had more sauce in that one, The new one is just clear plastic and half the size. Hot pepper sauce isn't as spicy as before. Halal Guys just ain't the same as they use to be. Maybe too many Mediterranean joints out here in competition now. read more

It was my first time here and A.J. provided great service! Food was good. Get extra white sauce!

I used to live in Glendale and ordered from here all the time. Now that I live in Pasadena, I don't come here as much. Today I came back after a couple years and the food is still just as good as ever. The two gentlemen behind the counter were incredibly friendly and helpful, and it really felt like they were happy to be there and serve their food. This place is lovely, and I always get the chicken platter, so that's what I recommend. read more

The food looks disgusting! Chicken doesn't even looked cooked. The hummus has no flavor. The pita tastes like cardboard. I would not recommend this place to anyone! Customer service sucks! The man who helped us, just wanted to be done with us and didn't have an ounce of friendliness! read more

Yummy for the tummy--the Glendale location is a bit hard for parking without paying, bits just $3/1 hr so not great or terrible. Prices are.average for a diner type location-$15/dish Our go to is always the beef/ Chkn halal bowl with 2 pita triangle. Not super busy on Labor Day--service was quick and fast! The seating area is a bit industrial in style but food so good, you probably won't notice. read more

Second time giving this place a try, hoping my first experience was just a fluke... it wasn't. The photo speaks for itself. I basically paid $18 for a plate that was 50% lettuce, 40% rice, and maybe 10% actual food -- a few tiny falafel balls, a super small pita, and a couple pieces of tomato. That portion vs. price is completely unacceptable. To make it worse, everything was cold and tasted like it had been sitting out -- definitely not fresh. I left still hungry and now have to drink a protein shake just to make up for how little substance this meal had. Really disappointing. Won't be coming back. read more

Went in and ordered a chicken wrapped sandwich. Took one bite and thought it wasn't very good. Ask for my money back which I guess is something they don't do. Haven't experienced that at a restaurant before. Went across the street and got something different if you've been here before and you like it I'm sure you're OK but if you haven't just know that one bite and they won't give your money back. read more

I'm a big fan of this chain of restaurants. Go in, order from the counter and sit down and enjoy. Good food, made from quality products, fair price, and big portions. They also have street vendors in New York City just outside of radio city music hall. read more

The service here is impeccable! I just went into the store and got two plates and the young gentlemen serving us were so sweet and professional. The ambiance was clean and I enjoyed my experience. I was there 10/13 between 5-6 pm. Whoever this two workers were deserve a raise. read more

Food and service are excellent! Very spacious, the food is healthy, always my first choice when I am hungry! read more

I guess this is a review for Halal Guys in general, not this particular location. The food itself is not bad, I think a lot of people have had Halal Guys and know what it is. They are known for their shawarma or "gyro" platters and their sauces. Under normal circumstances I would maybe give it 4 stars. However, they had been creeping the prices up to the point that it is now nearly $18 after tax for a regular platter by itself which I don't think is nearly worth it. Especially in this area where there are tons of shawarma spots on every corner that are cheaper, and in most cases better. I understand inflation and all but going from $10 to $18 in just a few years is kind of crazy, don't you think? read more

This Halal Guys location has been good to us. Parking can be tricky with street parking and a small lot in the back, but if you're in Glendale and are craving it, it's a yes. We usually take our food to go, and the quality and portions have been good. They've been friendly and sometimes it takes a longer time to get our order, but it's worth it. Tried the new honey sriracha falafel and it tasted like a garden. I personally wouldn't get it again, but the plate made up for it. read more

The food is delicious. I always order the Chicken Platter which comes with a great portion of shredded iceburg lettuce, tomato, rice, and pieces of Naan. The white sauce they give you makes the bowl extra amazing. There is also an option to have hot sauce which is also good to mix in the bowl just be aware the hot sauce is HOT and only put a little bit if you still want to enjoy your platter without your mouth being on fire. Once you try Halal Guys, you get hooked and crave their platters. read more

The Halal Guys - Chicken Regular Platter - Halal Near Me - Glendale, California

Where do I start? First off, I grew up eating halal guys on 53rd st in nyc weakly since 2002. Love you guys. When I get the itch and I'm at my place in Los Angeles I drive out the way to Glendale to get my chicken and rice plate. I get there today and I see this kid visibly stressed out.. (there's only one client in the store) ‍ I asked him if he was ok and he said he's doing his best but business is slow and shifts were cut So he's alone. Doing prep and sales. Understandable. This kid was extremely polite. He was so worried that the establishment couldn't afford to stay in business and his hands were shaking as he set my plate up (messed it up twice). I payed my 17-18 bucks for my ride down memory lane.. as I'm sitting in the car eating, I'm thinking look how many people are walking by. This establishment is supposed to be local fast quality street food. From one business owner to another. Hope things get better for yall. Set up outside, have a staffer handing out samples of some rice and chicken in a little cup with some white sauce and hot sauce. Offer the lamb variation. Remind Glendale that there is another style of Armenian shawarma in the area . Afgan Nyc street style. read more

The beef gyro was the bomb. Get it with all the fixings. Got carry out, but the restaurant was clean and bright. A definite repeat.

Just stopped by for a quick solo meal, food was excellent! Alejandro just finished cooking up a fresh batch of gyro meat and it was SO GOOD. He also built me the best stacked gyro I've had in a minute. And Alec helped me with my second order (was so good I had to order leftovers for later), got a 12pc wings and a gyro/chicken plate, and he hooked me up as well. Also sent me off with plenty of red sauce too, I'm now seriously addicted to that stuff. Alec and Alejandro were such a nice and helpful duo during my first visit, I'll be back next time they're working! read more

Shorted me on protein on 5 regular size plates. What a waste of money and time since I went out of my way to get there.

Halal Guys, a classic place to grab some good and quick food. Always recommend getting a regular bowl, beef, everything inside, white sauce on top, and red sauce on side (because its so spicy). Overall, definitely a good standard to have in your monthly food rotation haha, parking sucks but you can pay in the front or park in the back with portos read more

Their beef and chicken gyro platter was phenomenal. You can't go wrong with it. The employees there were so helpful. I'd come here again.

Great food. Fresh and delicious. Will come back here again. The ambiance is great aswell

This definitely hits the spot if you're craving for some Mediterranean food. I think the best items here are the sandwich and the plate. It has a couple different options of protein you can choose from as well as add ons. Definitely get the white sauce, it makes the whole dish taste richer. It's definitely a bang for your buck, pretty decent portion and pretty cheap. Will be back. read more

This place has really declined over the years. I supported this business during COVID pandemic and spent a lot of money here.They used to give generous portions of protein. Now they cut the meat in small pieces and spread it over a large amount of rice. I bought two plates and paid for extra sauce packets but when I got my delivery order they gave me zero sauce packs leaving me with two dry plates. I will never spend my money here again. read more

Yummy! I got the combo plate with the signature white sauce and hot sauce on the side (it's super spicy!) Willy was so attentive and his customer service was amazing. The restaurant is clean and well maintained, I will be back! read more

Walked in and walked out. Place smelled... weird. Like a bad food smell. Went on a Saturday night. Place was basically empty.

Stood there for several minutes. No acknowledgement, no greeting. There was one other customer in front of me and no one else. Both guys just kept ignoring me. After they were done with the customer, they went on about their business with 0 customers around and kept ignoring me. Worst customer service ever. Never coming back. The guy in the picture came after me read more

Yuck! Excellent customer service. Terrible food. I despise spending lots on food only to be disappointed at the end result. I only had a few bites and it was cold, unflavored, and just not a good time. Lucky for me I found a homeless individual to give my leftovers to once I left. 2 stars is for the customer service only. Dude was awesome! He let me sample the meat but even that was gritty once I sat down to eat. Wanted to try something new but for a rice bowl and meat...Back to chipotle I go. PS. The pic I posted was how excited I was to try this for the first time but was instantly regretting going here after one bite. A pile of yuck read more

The food is on point and the service is amazing. Eveytimr I order to go its always a great experience. Love the gyro.

In Glendale vicinity with parking at the back. The place is nothing fancy, moderately clean with few tables and chairs. Their menu will indicate what ingredients, toppings, etc you would like. They are understaffed with lots of orders mostly for pick-ups. The waiting times is about more than 10 minutes. Definitely will come back for a bite with few family and friends. read more

This is a great place for pita bread and gyros. Their place is clean and the staff is friendly. The food is great tasting and their servings are more than generous. I got the beef gyro plate, and the server filled the bowl to capacity and then some. If I took it to go, the mountain of food would've gotten smushed by the lid and I wouldn't have taken an awesome picture . I got 4 lines of red sauce (spicy sauce) which gave it just the right amount of heat to go with the delicious rice and vegetables. Please stop by this place and show some love for Halal Guys. You won't be disappointed. read more

The Halal Guys - Large Beef Gyro Platter. Only 4 red lines of hot sauce. - Halal Near Me - Glendale, California

I've been here a few times and the service was always fast and friendly. The food selection is simple, fresh and clean. Usually, I get the large platter to share with my kid at home. Today, I decided to get a small platter for about $13 and sit down to eat. The eating area is spacious and not many people are here on a Friday night so it worked out great for me. I highly recommend this place. read more

The Halal Guys - Small plater with chicken - Halal Near Me - Glendale, California

I was so excited that there's a halal guys in my area. All my experiences have been great! I've ordered twice in the last month and the food is delicious and consistent. The CHICKEN PLATTER without rice is my go to! I like that you can customize a little and still get food that packs a punch! I always add one white sauce and half the red. The red spice is fiery to say the least!!! I like a good medium spice and this sauce has my mouth falling off. I tried the FALAFEL for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised. It was crispy on the outside even though it was a bit steamy from sitting in the box. I'd definitely add it on again. Love a good hearty and heathy option. Looove it! read more

The portion size for their platters are good however you will need to work with flavoring the platter yourself whether it's to add more rice, drench more sauce etc. There is a lack of flavor so it may take a couple of rounds for you to perfect your meal. read more
