    A good fix if you're craving the popular halal platter! You can also opt for the tahini sauce which is more nutty and savory but would still recommend classic white sauce and hot sauce.

    Quick service. Good options. Had a bowl with steak and bbq chicken. It was delicious. My fiancé didn't enjoy it but I thought it was good. Can eat in. Lots of parking.

    Gyro w/beef and lettuce only. Where's the beef?????

    Delivery was prompt and sauces ordered good. But ummm.....where's the beef? I thought it was going to be packed but guess not. Order the extra protein please!! Taste is good

    Coming from a LONG TIME fan, The amount of food has been drastically reduced. Portion sizes are not where they have been before for a brand that claims to be "just like the NYC carts". You get less for the amount of $$. Less sauces, less meat, less rice, less of everything. Might have to start looking elsewhere for a halal spot that will actually give you value for the $

    Metal wire in my platter, nasty.

    Hate to give this review as I've been to this location a few times, service has always been friendly and food consistently decent. To say I was disappointed to find a piece of corroded wire in platter is an understatement. Nearly cracked a tooth on it, but could have been worse if had swallowed the thing.

    Let me get straight to the point - This is NOT The Halal Guys I grew up knowing and loving as a young adult in NYC. When I was in my early 20s, I remember the days (or rather early mornings) I looked forward to eating a chicken or lamb with rice platter on the corner of 53rd St and 6th Ave on hot, sweaty Fridays/Saturdays after a night of debauchery at an NYC club or bar. My friends and I would order those one-of-a-kind platters (with their famous white sauce drizzled all over it) and just sit by the office building the carts were in front of and chow down with the many other alcohol casualties of the evening. Those days are long gone for me, but apparently so is the deliciousness of The Halal Guys at their storefronts. I came here to do some reminiscing and ordered a Chicken & Beef Gyro Platter and Chicken & Falafel Platter and, honestly, I didn't know what to make of it. It was dry, and lacked that fresh, street meat flavor that you only get when you order from an NYC street cart. The food just didn't feel right. It felt like it wasn't just cooked. For those who know nothing of the original street carts that The Halal Guys spurned out of, they might love this version of The Halal Guys, but, if you know your street meat, like I do, this feels like a knock off and does not do the original justice. Once again, it's a matter of experience with the original vs storefront. Come here if you want OK halal food. Go to NYC and hit up the carts if you want real street meat.

    It's just not the same as the original 53rd and 6th cart but it will do in a pinch. We ordered for delivery via UberEats on a Sunday night. Hubby and I both got the beef gyro as we usually do because the chicken tends to be dry. Instead of chopped up meat like the cart, the gyro here is in slices. Not sure if that's good or bad but it still tasted good. I also like that you can add extra lettuce, tomatoes, and add chopped green pepper for no additional cost. They don't have this option at the cart. The veggies are much needed to help cut down some of the grease and heaviness. Each platter came out to about $15 without tip. Next time, I won't be a lazy bum and I'll do a pick up order instead, so that I don't need to pay the added fees for Uber.

    Large Beef Gyro Platter

    Got 2 large platters, one of falafel and one of gyro. The portion was enormous, enough for 2 meals each and everything tasted good except the lettuce did not smell or taste right. It didn't look bad at all, it was just off so we dumped it.

    Picked up a to-go order from here for my husband, who's a big gyro fan a couple weeks ago and he has been mentioning this place since. He's been overseas and has had gyros and falafels from Dubai before so he's a little bit of a snob. We've only been to one place in SC that's fairly close to what he's had so when he told me the fries, beef gyro, white and hot sauces were pretty good, I knew I had to try it myself. I got the chicken platter to go and was pleasantly surprised. I'm not a fan of ANY hot sauce, so I went without the packet but the white sauce was pretty great. I was so stuffed halfway through, that I didn't finish my meal but it still tasted great after heating it up. I threw the pita bread pieces in the toaster oven and they came out tasting amazing. The atmosphere is clean and everyone is friendly when you walk in. I'd definitely try the gyros next time!

    Was craving some halal takeout since my favorite cart in the city has not been operating during covid. This was a pretty good substitute, though I do prefer Rafiqis. It's a few dollars more than the street carts in the city and charge extra for certain toppings and extra white sauce. There was a lot of food and sauce, plus I tried the babaganoush which was perfectly smoky and creamy. Great to have white sauce in packet form with takeout so it doesn't absorb into the meat and rice when you're in transit. I didn't try the hot sauce this time because last time I put too much and it ruined my platter - too hot and didn't like the taste. Nice that it comes with pita for no charge. This location does have a little outdoor seating and you can walk into the building to order or pickup pre-orders. I had tried calling to place my order but they just redirected me to the internet. Strangely they did not want to take orders over the phone.

    I love going places and feel like I'm at home, and that is what exactly I found, so welcomed by Muhammad, he was one of the nicest people I've ever been attended by, my husband and I wan te d to try this place, and Muhammad gave us samples and was so patient, always smiling, such a wonderful energy. He also gave us drinks and dessert on that house. We loved it! We'll definitely be back, no more chipotle, no more Cava. This is our new place to go. recommended!

To top it off I also got fried calamari, it was a little bit chewy overall still had flavor to it. My go to drink was a mint lemonade that they make it into a slushie. I never had a mint lemonade so the taste to the drink was new to me but I loved it! You could bring your own liquor becusse they do not sell that. Overall amazing place for a quick lunch or dinner!

I know there's a million Halal spots popping up, and I will admit I'm very, very picky when it comes to platters. I miss the good ol' days on 53rd street in NYC... I came by around 10pm and was served quickly by a friendly employee. They have platters, burgers, wraps, wings, chicken tenders, fries, etc. I ordered the chicken rice platter (~$13.50). They cook the meat fresh on the grill and then you choose your toppings at the salad bar (olives, onions, peppers, tomatoes, etc.). It's a bit pricier than other places, but the portion size is huge. The container felt HEAVY lol. It's just a shame it went to waste because I really didn't enjoy the food. I only finished about half of it before I tossed the rest. The white sauce was almost flavorless and was VERY watery. The chicken wasn't as well-seasoned. No distinct spices or aroma. Every bite left me with a very greasy and salty taste in my mouth. The side salad was just okay. I was disappointed. The only saving grace was the rice... it was fluffy and the best part of the whole platter. Not sure if I came on an off night or...? Don't let my review stop you from trying. It might just not be the Halal spot for me.

This is definitely a place to bring your side piece... your main girl will never know. Unless your main girl is a TJ MAXX shopper, that's right across the street, in that case be cautious taking your side piece here.

I've tried the one with the meat and the meat was inconsistently placed throughout the paratha. The aloo paratha is good, but could use more filling. Here's where they lost me: the raita- that yogurt sauce that comes with the paratha- is ALWAYS inconsistent. The first time I ordered the paratha this raita was the best i've ever had. It was raita with added tomato and onions. Blew my mind and I ordered it again. Next time they give me a yogurty mess that I wouldn't call a raita. No added anything. The time after that they forgot to include my raita and when I picked it up later, it was another disappointing variation. I've stopped ordering their parathas because of this since I cant eat dry partha by itself and who knows what kind of raita they'll give me. Overall, I continue to get platters from them because they're within walking distance for me and the CTM rice platter is so good.
