    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Mold on the Pita bread. Tastes different from the usual. Seems like the ingredients are old. We didnt eat our bowls as well for safety.

    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!!

    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.

My favorites include the shawarma lamb wrap damascus style, falafel tacos, the original chicken shawarma wrap, and of course the pickles and toum. I also really enjoyed the Fatteh. You can't really go wrong with anything here, it's just about what your personal favorites are. The owners are so kind and friendly, always chatting with everyone in the restaurant, they create a very warm and welcoming environment, and you can tell they really care about what they do.

    We got two different vegetarian wraps to go: the Lebanese fries wrap and the falafel wrap. To our…read moresurprise, the fries wrap was the better of the two, as the garlic aioli and whatever other flavors were added made it tasty. It definitely could have used the coleslaw and pickles promised by the menu but they weren't in evidence. That was the problem with the falafel wrap, too: the menu promised hummus, cabbage & tomatoes salad, and pickled turnips, but those ingredients weren't anywhere to be seen. There was some lettuce instead, but lettuce is a poor substitute as it just becomes immediately soggy and adds no flavor. If you've ever had falafel in Israel, you will be disappointed by the falafel here, unfortunately. (Israeli falafel shops each make at least a dozen toppings from family recipes, so you put as many veggies and sauces in as you can to create a flavor party in your mouth.)

The wait staff were super nice from the person taking order to those bringing out the food. Service speed could be better as we didn't get checked on by our server especially when we needed serving utensils (sharing food) and when we were about to wrap up it took a long time to get the check. Food wise most was good - recommend the hummus cauliflower with white pita as well as the grilled chicken. The a la carte lamb was spicy and not tender enough. For sides we got falafel and eggplant Romanian. The falafel was slightly dry. Eggplant was very tomato in flavor and served cold because it's like a dip. They gave either free mimosa or Housemade mint lemonade for the mother on Mother's Day which was very nice touch. Seating ambiance very nice too with warm woods and greenery elements

Though it was relatively simple to share.. Presentation of food was excellent but it was a little disappointing to have gnats flying onto the food here and there.

The issue is that they are prioritizing food delivery service orders because those go out much faster than anyone who comes in and orders. Anyways, this system is not efficient and needs work.

I always ordered the chicken dish, so when it came out this time, I was genuinely confused. The menu describes it as having a garlicky yogurt sauce, but there was none. I even checked their website afterward, and the dish I received looked nothing like the one advertised. I also looked through recent reviews and photos from other customers, and even those dishes looked very different from what we were served. If the recipe or sauce changed, I really think customers should be informed. When I asked the waitress, she explained that it now comes with a zhoug sauce instead, but that isn't mentioned anywhere on the menu. Oddly enough, the same sauce was also used on the Dorada fish dish. We also used to love the lamb, but they changed that dish too by removing the sauce and couscous base. I'm not sure why the changes were made, but it's just not the same anymore. Overall, it was really disappointing, especially since we chose to spend Mother's Day here. The food quality has definitely gone downhill. On top of that, the restaurant seemed extremely understaffed -- there appeared to be only about three servers working the entire floor all night. The ambiance was still decent, but the overall experience just didn't feel like the Meso we used to love. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place anymore.
