Carla provided the best customer service I've experienced at any Halal Guys location. She prepared my falafel bowl with incredible care, making sure every ingredient was just right and paying attention to every detail. It's rare to see someone take that much pride in their work, and it really showed in both the quality of the food and the overall experience. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely committed to great service--Carla set the standard for what customer service should be. Thank you for making my visit such a positive one! read more

Their time has come and gone. It has been 7 or 8 years since the last time I had Halal Guys. Back then, it was popular among my friends and actually tasted great. I ate it again recently and it tasted below average. The chicken was completely white and bland, likely unseasoned. The pita bread was dry and cold, even in my warm bowl. They couldn't even be bothered to warm it up and just served it cold. I found the packaging of their white sauce weird without the Halal Guys branding. The white sauce tasted okay, but not like "magic" in the way it used to tie everything in the bowl together. Sad to see that franchising has ruined their reputation. Their New York street cart is probably still a hit with locals. The Kebab Shop is a much better alternative. read more

The Halal Guys - white sauce packets - Middle Eastern Near Me - Santa Clara, California

We used to love Halal Guys when visiting New York and would visit the now closed store in San Jose. We heard about this one still being open and decided to drink across town in traffic to try it. We were so disappointed with the service and quality of food. The employee who helped us must of been new but she put the tiniest scoop for each item, she gave us old pita bread that was hard and falling apart then she couldn't figure out how to ring us up or take cash. Other employees needed to step in to assist her with figuring out how to give cash change. We ordered 4 bowls for our family and it took 20 mins for our order even thought there were 4 employees and completely empty. The restaurant itself looked to be dirty and not well maintained. The food was good but didn't feel fresh. I don't think we'll be back. read more

My wife was just talking about how long it's been since she had some Halal Guys. Now we understand why their locations have been slowly disappearing from the Bay Area! The food was pretty BAD! The meats and rice were dry as hell. You could tell they were far from freshly made. The fountain drink machine wasn't even working. It was very sad to see the decline of Halal Guys..... read more

It's been a while since I've had The Halal Guys. Since I was visiting a neighboring restaurant, I had to take the opportunity to indulge a little. Upon arrival, the menu is listed clearly above the registers. There is also a QR code located off to the right. Purchase: Regular Platter [Beef Gyro & Chicken] -no rice, substitute with extra lettuce. Food was good! The beef gyro was very tender and the chicken was thoroughly cooked. The veggies were fresh and you really can't go wrong with the smothering of Halal Guy's white & hot sauce. 5/5 stars. My meal was delicious, filling, and healthy for the most part. I'm a fan! read more

Lettuce was browning, little to no protein and rice. Cheap on the sauce. It quality used to be better. Never again

The food was bland and just gross. The service wasn't that good either especially for the price.

Store hours on Yelp and on door says opens at 11am but there was no one there to open. The lights were off no one was inside. We waited 15 min or so and left. read more

Walked in for pickup order, no one in establishment except for two workers. First time at this location. Order said ready for pickup but could see the worker just started working on order. There was no greeting or acknowledgement whatsoever and male worker was working at snail pace filling my online order, while I waited. Female worker asked co-worker if he needed assistance but he declined. Appeared as though he didn't want to be there. The regular plates ordered were barely filled compared to other locations, the pita bread was not heated up just tossed into platter. Beef was dry as though it had been sitting out for a while. Mostly lettuce in platter. Very disappointed with both food and service . Have been to other locations with much better service as well as food quality and quantity. Sadly, will definitely not be back. read more

The Halal Guys - Regular beef platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I came by on a Monday evening and saw the chairs upside down on all of the tables in the indoor dining area (except where customers were eating), the interior of the place looking like most restaurants do 5 minutes before closing time. But I was there more than 2 hours before closing time, so it was a surprise to see this and it made the place feel a little less inviting. I ordered a small beef gyro platter for takeout. It took just a couple minutes to prepare from the food station, and service was standard, with the staff providing extra white sauce packets on the side per request. The meat didn't taste as fresh as I usually get from other locations, but it was still tasty along with the other ingredients which seemed to be of good quality. It made for a satisfying meal, consistent in flavor to what I always get at HG. It also only came with two itty bitty pieces of pita bread, a fraction of what I typically get at other locations, but I don't mind less carbs. read more

I ordered for takeout on GrubHub. When I got back home, the food was fresh and delicious. I ordered the regular platter and chose the beef/chicken combo. The platter comes with rice, lettuce, tomatoes, and some pita bread. For an extra charge, I added some other toppings which were jalapeños, green pepper, and onions. Those were a must. It also comes with their packet of white sauce and hot sauce. The service was fast since my food was already ready when I got there. The staff were also friendly. Inside, the restaurant felt clean. It's fairly small, but I did see a few tables inside for anyone who wants to dine in. Overall, I enjoyed the food and will order from here again. read more

Great food for a great price point! I remember the YEE back when this location opened and it was a great reminder of that again! As always, love their chicken and beef bowl with polices! Tastes healthy, is balanced with tons of veggies without breaking the bank. The white sauce is so good but it can be pretty calorie heavy. read more

Decent sandwich place, but also doesn't really stand out. It's good if you're in a hurry and want to bring food back to the office.

Just had the most wonderful experience! Our food looks so fresh and amazing and Kendrick was the most perfect host, I've had in a while, he was very friendly and welcoming. Will most definitely be back to this location very soon! read more

This location probably has the best prices compared to Fremont and union city. The staff if awesome and I love the location.

I haven't had Halal Guys in years, and now I know why. It's overrated. I think other Mediterranean chains are better like TKS. First, it was slow, no one was at the counter for a some time. We were the first ones there. Ordered quick and received food right away. I had a small combo plate with chicken and gyro meat with all the fixings. I feel like this is a chipotle version of the food, and could've been more flavorful. I ate a third of my plate and that's all I could stomach. The white sauce is fine, I also don't understand the hype. Bathroom is clean but workers here don't flush. I hope they wash their hands when dealing with our order. read more

Stopped by around 2 pm on Saturday, 7/25/26, and they weren't even open! There was no signage with an explanation. The store hours, online ordering, etc. say the store is open. At least let your customers know you're not open! What a waste of time. read more

Place wasn't open at 11am as advertised. Waited 15 min and no one came. Is this place even open?

Avoid eating here. Some of the coldest, playdoh tasting chicken I have ever had. It should have been a clue, but there was not any cooking taking place while we were there... none. Only food in the warming trays, hours prior to close. The falafel must have been cooked last week. It could not have been drier if it had been drug across the Sahara dessert. The rice had more chew to it than bubble gum. Wish it had been gum, fruit strips kept its flavor for longer. Service was great! read more

GO TO ANY OTHER HALAL GUYS SPOT! WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE OF ALL TIME. The woman who took our order, I believe her name was Monica, she looked like the manager I think was EXTREMELY rude. Like I never write reviews so that fact I'm writing is because she was that rude. She rushed us when we were looking for 30 seconds, yelled at us because I was trying to help my cousin decide because it was his first time, she gave my brother very little scoop of chicken (less than chipotle) and wanted to charge us double because he wanted a bit more, and she rolled her eyes when my cousin asked to have tomato's on his plate since he forgot. The food taste like every other Halal Guys but this the first time I experience service so bad so I wrote a review. read more

I regularly get halal guys from fremont. Regular size at this location is even smaller than a small in Fremont. Huh! Seriously!

A women named Monica provided poor customer service , I came in with my family and she was rushing and yelling at us , rolled her eyes when asked a question and was cut off multiple times , gave less food portion extra and tried to charged double for asking for the regular amount of food kindly. I usually love the food but I wouldn't recommend this location because of some staff read more

Why they don't have five stars puzzles me. We ordered the lamb Gyro and lamb and chicken with rice. I would have to say this is the best Gyro I've ever had. Everything was seasoned to perfection. We felt great after our meal. read more

I've only been to The Halal Guys in New York City and loved it, so I was excited to try it in Santa Clara...and it did not disappoint. We were at Barebottle Brewing next door, which lets you bring in outside food. I had the Small Platter with Beef Gyro and Chicken which was $11.99 and I think the portions are good. It was delicious and how I remember it. Service wasn't what I would necessarily say friendly, but they were efficient. Order was quick and correct for the four items I ordered. Not a lot of seating and most were taking food to go. I love the White and Hot Sauce. read more

Good service, food was nicely portioned and the staff was nice! A little unfortunate that the white sauce is extra, but it makes sense because it's so good. read more

The manager I think Her name was Monica, was so rude. Gave the worse customer service because rushed my family and was raising her voice at us for no reason. Mind you, we only walked in for a minute and look at the menu to decide and she was already yelling making us order fast for no reason since we were the only customers in there. the food tasted fine but the service so bad I would never come back and don't recommend anyone would go here. Just go to another Halal Guys location if you want to get some read more

Serving day old rice so your meal gets that perfect crunchy stale chewy vibe you definitely didn't ask for. Makes me wonder how many health codes are getting a creative interpretation here. There are at least 3 restaurants within a hundred feet charging the same and providing fresher food. Keep walking. read more

I really like Halal Guys and I've been coming to this location since it first opened, but I haven't been there in awhile- Shrinkflation is REAL. My regular size platter was 75% sad looking lettuce, and the employee gave me the tiniest scoop of rice they could get away with serving me, and just enough protein to cover the rice portion. These used to last for at least 2 meals for me, but no longer. Oh, and the price went up too. read more

Here is my two cents on the food quality and quantity of my order. It was delivered by Uber eats through. Buy Instacart.. my food was late and what I had was cold.. I requested their promotion of buy one get one free I double checked it. That's what I ordered, but they gave me was one single order and they also put that on my receipt. . The only thing good I can say was if you're a veggie semi vegetarian, this would be a good meal. It tasted fine but it's not worth $14 and that's only for single service and I was expecting to buy one and get one free so basically they stole $15 for me because they advertise buy one get one free so I generally would never order a delivery again in store maybe but overpriced too small not worth the aggravation..... plus the other issue when ordering through Instacart there's no place to call or to make a good flight about getting a refund or anything else so I don't recommend you ever use Instacart restaurant. They're just not properly set up to help you out.?,... read more

Ordered for pickup, my first time. Was not even started, and I typically don't mind waiting as the weather is super nice out. Portions for falafel and beef gyro were sparse...the worse thing was that I bit into a piece of black metal and split it. Like probably a charred staple or something in a gyro slice. Hope my tooth isn't chipped... This could have been super dangerous for a child or a dog if swallowed. Fries were so yummy, so probably not healthy - I enjoyed them though! read more

Halal Guys is actually one of my top favorite casual dining spots! I had it for the first time 7 years ago down in Costa Mesa, my Yelp Elite friends took me and I was hooked! I'm bummed there's no location near me in Walnut Creek. The closest one is in SF which is a bit far. I was visiting friends over the weekend and I suggested Halal Guys for dinner. I always get the beef gyros plate. Since I don't live close to a Halal Guys, I always get two orders so I can take one home to eat the next day. The food was highly satisfying and definitely hit the spot! Love me some of that white sauce! MMMMMmmm! Open a location in Walnut Creek please! Thank you! read more

The Halal Guys - Beef Gyros Plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Ordered through Uber Eats. For some reason, the second protein choice on my combo didn't show up on the order (my mistake, I should have reviewed the order more thoroughly) but what I did receive was tasty. My original review garnered an immediate response from the business itself, which was impressive. It showed that they care about their customers. Next time I'll order directly from the restaurant. I won't have to worry about my food being delivered to the wrong address (I'm looking at you, Uber Eats). read more

Staff was really nice, the spicy chicken was good. The red sauce is not a joke. Not much seating inside but around here outside theres seating. read more

3rd time in row they got my DoorDash order wrong. They literally can't read or just don't give a fuck. I asked to remove lettuce and my food came without rice. That's not the same at all. Three strikes and you're out. Never ordering from this place again. If anyone has a better recommendation DM me. read more

No complaints here. Unlike some of the other reviews stated, my portion size was just fine. I was in and out within 5 minutes. Cashier was super chill. read more

Good fast food type of restaurant. They make everything to order like the burrito place. Friendly enough service. I really like the hot sauce with the gyro. The rotisserie meat is pretty good and overall a great deal for a cheap eat. read more

How about letting customers sit and eat in your store 1 hour before closing? Came in around 9pm. They close at 10pm. I just wanted to sit and eat and go and the dude didn't let me sit down and eat. What the hell did I tip 15% for? read more

The Halal Guys has been my go to recovery meal from a long night/weekend out. Something about it just makes me feel full yet still light on the portion and toppings instead of indulging on heavy, greasy, fast food. Great for lunch breaks too since it is fast but not falling under the category of "fast food" I usually order the Beef Gyro Platter which comes with beef gyro, rice, lettuce, tomatoes, and pita bread. It doesn't come with much pita bread though only for a few bites. You could also get 1/2 chicken 1/2 beef which I got my first time but I really like their beef so I just get the beef gyro platter. Their falafel is really good as well, crispy on the outside but keeping it soft on the inside without it being dry. Their white sauce is so good and it pairs nicely with everything. If you want to kill your stomach lining they have the perfect hot sauce for it. The hot sauce and the white sauce balances it out so well. I love spicy but this is another level, it's great. read more

What happened to Halal Guys? Food quality is mediocre at best. Got a small platter with chicken. Chicken was underseasoned and house sauce tasted like watered down mayo. I remember when Halal Guys opened their first location in SJ. Food was delicious. The food at this location tastes nothing like the Halal Guys I've had. I'm not a fan. Service was quick and friendly. Restaurant felt like a hole in the wall even though it is in a nice plaza with Whole Foods and tons of other food options. read more
