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

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

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

The Halal Guys - Regular 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 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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

Beware of this location. I've been going to numerous locations and this one has to be up there as the worst. Placed an order to-go for a regular platter and I got the portion size of a small platter. Server skimped out on the meat tremendously. No pita bread came with the order as well. Will not be coming back to this location again. read more

Mold on the Pita Bread - looks like ingredients are old. We stopped eating even pur bowls as we do not want to get sick. Sucks!! 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

The food was absolutely atrocious. I got the falafel 4 piece and took a bite and tasted like bleach literally couldn't even eat it. Chicken has absolutely no flavor whatsoever. It was nasty honestly whoever likes this place is crazy read more

Quick and yummy food. Great to have a taste of late night NYC near home. Pairs well with Barebottle next door. Came in after having some drinks at Floodcraft and brought to Barebottle to enjoy a few more. Consistently tasty, always grab the beef and chicken gyro combo. Loaded with all the fixings, love that you can get sauce on the side. That red sauce is dangerous but tasty. Service was quick as it was nearing close. read more

Food: the food was great as usual. Very flavorful, and the portion did not disappoint! And all orders of falafels are made fresh upon order so they were nice and hot Service: friendly, timely, and professional Ambiance: a few tables indoors and one set up outside on the patio with a large umbrella. Wouldn't be able to support a large party, but that shouldn't be a problem since the food is quite portable read more

Falafel wrap is supremely tasty, cant go wrong with olives. Tone of sauce. Thanks team! read more

Stopped by this place around after lunch time (before 2pm) while on a walk to order some lunch since we hadn't eaten yet. This place is a new location here and we had wanted to try it out for awhile. There were 2 people working and we had really good service from the guy who helped us. I got the falafel regular platter while my bf got the large spicy chicken. They add lettuce and tomatoes and seasoned rice and ur choice of protein for the base then u can add jalapeño, onions, bell pepper, and olives. The hummus is additional $1.50 or something. They gave us plenty of white sauce packets and some hot sauce. It tasted better than i thought it would! Very fresh and the white sauce and hot sauce complement everything on the platter. Would def recommend! read more

The Halal Guys - Falafel Platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - Santa Clara, California

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

Halal guys food is always amazing but this particular location is a hit or miss. My first visit, the food portions were extremely small and the meal was really cold, they were also out of jalapeños. My second visit I ordered online on their website for pickup. I even got an email confirmation but they said they never received my order so it had to be made once I got there. My most recent visit was the best one, portions were great, service was fast, food was warm. Also I discovered my new favorite order the spicy chicken platter! You can sign up for rewards. Try to avoid the website and app they don't work too well. You can't upload the receipt to the app to collect rewards, it only happens after an online order. Also, you can fill out a feedback form to get free fries on your next visit if u order online. read more

The Halal Guys - Signature Spicy Chicken Platter with Jalapeños and Onions - Middle Eastern Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Came in during my lunch time and was pleased to know that this place wasn't as packed. Made my experience a lot easier and faster. There were 3 dudes just maning their stations as I walked in and it was nice to know they were chill to order from and could keep a casual conversation on the lamb since it was also their favorite. I had a birthday coupon as well and they were patient with me as I figure out how to use it since I've never done it before. Shout out to the dudes who helped me out. Obviously was there for the lamb and I couldn't have been anymore satisfied with it, arite it wasn't your legit off the bone lamb expereince but the taste was slightly there that it was enough. Replaced the tomatoes for green peppers and honestly it was a good swap. My down fall was when I decided to be bold too and put some red sauce on my plate. I put maybe like a drizzle mixed with the white sauce and man, that red sauce took over. Luckily their packets are small so you don't mess up like I do.

We ordered delivery via doordash and the order was ready and delivered within 30 mins. Food: In $35 we got: - 1 small beef platter - 4/5 well cooked meat and good rice. It had good sides of salad and pita and 2 falafel (extra $2.5) portion size is good for 1 person's meal - 1 falafel wrap - 3/5 i was hoping for some more falafel rather than just 3 pcs and a added hummus (extra $1) which was a lightly brushed hummus (assuming 1 teaspoon) on the pita itself. The pita was too thick to "wrap" it so i had to eat it as an open sandwich :( no fun! The taste was good after adding the sauces: - they give u 1 pack white sauce (big) and 1 packet red hot sauce (really spicy) with each platter/ wrap u order - white sauce - nice and creamy - red sauce - super spicy so add a little, taste it, then add more if u like Deducting 1 star for over-priced falafel wrap and 1 for quantity not worth the price. The platter had a good presentation and meat and falafel tasted good and also loved their sauces! read more

Very clean and friendly staff, would come back again. Came with some friends on a nice sunny afternoon.

Gyro and pita so dry I felt like I was SpongeBob when he was getting cooked at shell city

How hard is it to get an order correct? EVERY time I order Uber Eats from here they always get my order wrong, now they have completely forgot half my order. I keep calling the number and no one answers. What kind of clown show are they running over there? The only reason I even ordered again is because it is halal. But I'm done with this place. read more

I love halal guys but the service at this location is absolutely abysmal! Came to the front to order and the server was mopping.. she left the mop and came to serve the food without changing her gloves. I had to ask her to change it... I requested the honey sriracha falafel and she said no because they were frozen. She could only do regular. She was impatient and portion size felt like she was preparing a kids portion for $16!!! I feel so cheated. Looks like I'm never coming back here again. read more
