Deliciousness- the gyro meat, the white sauce and the baklava! The flavorful meat and the creamy yogurt-dip-like white sauce were such a perfect match. Paid 69 cents for an extra packet of white sauce so that there would be enough sauce on every spoon of food scooped out of the combo platter and also for dipping the pita bread in. So Yummy, and well worth it! To end a good meal on a sweet note, the Baklava would do the job right. Even though the baklava that I had was a tad overly sweet, and soggy and even a little chewy on the bottom, the upper part was still crispy and flaky and the middle layer loaded with nuts was tender.

If you say goodbye, I say halal. Halal, halal. I don't know why you say goodbye, I say Halal. I grew up on Sammy's, so everything else is a step down. Okay, no, I didn't grow up on it at all, but I may as well have, since I eat it seventeen times every time I'm in New York. What to get: Combo with all the sauces. What else: Right now he's probably up behind her with a pool stick showing her how to shoot a Combo. This is the place that we used to go to all the time back in the old days of New York City. It's not the same anymore. It's not even close to being the same, and they put one of these in every damn town on every damn street and the quality went down, but I have to say it's still nice to have these here, and it's still a different twist on the usual fast-food, and in some regards it's really good. Thanks Jackson have a good night. Oh sorry I was talking to my little friend Jackson. You say goodbye, and I say Halal. Halal, Halal. I don't know why you say goodbye, I say Halal. OK, I do know why you say goodbye. Because you have to run to the bathroom because you just ordered from Halal Cart.

I can already tell this is going to be one of our go to spots in Houston. The Halal Guys serves consistently delicious, filling food at an affordable price. My usual order is the combo platter, which comes with both the chicken & beef gyro over rice. I'd recommend getting both the white and hot sauce on top! If you are worried about the hot sauce, they usually ask for exactly how much to put which is very helpful.

We first tried the Halal guys in NYC in early 2000 and loved it. We discovered Jones Fried Chicken when we moved to Houston and thought the taste and portion size were similar to Halal guys. I was in the neighborhood and decided to give this a try. I was greeted as soon as I entered and saw 4 employees working on a Friday at 2:30 pm. I was the only customer and got 2 regular platters: 1 chicken and 1 gyro beef. Half of the container was filled with lettuce and some tomatoes, then 3 scoops of rice in orange color, 2 scoops of protein and 4 pieces of triangular pita. She drizzed white sauce and added some onions. I didn't add any hummus when the lady asked if I wanted some. It was $9.69 for regular and $8.69 for a small platter. It was a quick transaction, in and out in less than 10 minutes. Pretty efficient! We had high expectation of the food as we had fond memories. Rice were a bit too hard and meat were too salty. My husband was still hungry after finishing his portion as he said he would like more rice. We actually weighed the container before we ate. My husband wasn't satisfied and decided to order Jones Fried chicken for dinner. Yes, he can eat the same thing again. Based on this experience, we concluded we got a better value (whole 5 oz more food) and quality of food at Jones than Halal guys. If we were ever in the neighborhood, we might give it a 2nd try...

Regular Platter with Beef

Halal Guys never fails to disappoint! They closed down during the storm and I been to other locations but nothing compares to this location. The service is always impeccable they immediately welcome you when you enter I love it! I definitely recommend this location over any other halal guys in my opinion.

Sunday family dinners are usually Middle Eastern kabobs. Last visit was with seven family members…read more Nice to get a plate filled with kabobs, chicken, lamb or salmon, served with basmati rice and grilled vegetables. We usually substitute the rice for Persian salad. Diced cucumbers, tomatoes and red onions with a Persian dressing. My favorite. For something different, try the fesenjan. Chicken served with a pomegranate, walnut and saffron stew served with basmati rice. So tangy and sweet. Love this one! Add some hummus, whipped feta or warm eggplant dip while you wait for dinner. Parking is easy. Make a reservation for a weekend dinner or lunch.

I must say I have to echo her review, as we were blown away by the flavors. The restaurant was packed, and the decor was fancy but comfortable. One look at the interior and clientele already convinced me this place would be authentic. We opted to try 2 different combos, the Kasra and seafood combo, so we could share and try a bit of everything. It's hard to pick a favorite, all the proteins were flavorful and tender. The rice was a whole talking point just by itself. I often get bored with plain old white rice, so I'm glad Kasra seasons their rice well. The portions were very generous as well, they left me full after cleaning up that whole plate. This was an excellent introduction to Persian cuisine for me, we got lucky that we chose a place that would leave a great first impression!

This is one of my favorite restaurants!…read more My company usually host one of their board meetings here. They have a private room for parties and we typically utilize that room for the meetings. The restaurant is beautifully adorned with cultural art throughout. The booths also have embroidery from the region as well. Every dish is absolutely delicious! They also label gluten free, vegetarian and whether it contains nuts. If you have other food allergies or sensitivities, they can cater to it as well. Appetizer recommendations: Kashk E Bademjan and Hummus - rich creamy dip that goes perfectly with their complimentary homemade naan, herbs, radish and cheese. Sumptuous rice: Sweet- shirin pollow and javaher pllow Savory- sabzi pollow if you prefer more of the herb flavors Entrees: Lamb shank - the meat falls off the bone and it's delicious over a bed of rice. Beef Soltani - well-seasoned and tender. They serve it with a side of tomatoes, onions, jalapeño pepper and basmati rice. I always substitute the regular basmati rice with a sumptuous rice. Chenjah - i ordered the chicken and it was very well seasoned. The chicken was not dry and it also came with a side of tomato, onions, jalapeño and basmati rice (substitute it for the sumptuous rice and thank me later haha). Desserts: Pistachio ice cream is my favorite Baklava is rich, heavy and delicious Baklava cake is sweet but lighter than the baklava. Cheesecake is your typical. Overall, great customer service and very clean. I recommend this restaurant! Be sure to savor every bite.

Always worth the effort to go to Arpi's Phoenicia Deli…read more Food is always excellent, friendly service and their coffee is varied, and wonderful. Shawarma are hot, seasoned perfectly and sauteed eggplant is delicious. Sometimes crowded though. Their box lunches are a real treat, and their family meals are like your family deserves to have. They are happy to provide curbside pick up if necessary, that Their Falafel Wrap is an absolute favorite. Glad to see such pride and effort from early morning until mid-evening which is rare. Good food with attention to detail and traditional flavors. Pricing is not bad at all considering their superior results. Looking forward to returning soon.

They're menu is pretty basic but they had seasonal drinks menu so I decided to get the apple pie chai latte. It was delicious but I wish the chai was stronger. My dad got a large coffee with dark chocolate and my sister got the pumpkin spice latte. The pumpkin spiced latte has to be one of the best pumpkin spiced lattes I've ever had. I paid $15 for all 3 which is pretty cheap compared to other coffee shops. The place is very spacious but cozy. It was also very clean and nicely decorated. I could see myself working here one day. I would gladly come back!
