    Falafel Sandwich
    Aarti B.

    The Falafel sandwich was underwhelming with skimpy toppings of just lettuce, tomato, and onion stuffed in a large fluffy white pita, Hummus, Baba ganoush, and Tahini sauce were each $1 upcharge. A choice of one of the condiments should have been offered as a default. While the sandwich was filling with crispy falafel, the flavors weren't quite balanced and not worth paying a hefty $12. You really get a bang for your buck with the falafel sandwiches at Sheesh Grill in Mosaic and Raouche Grille right down the road -worth the short drive!

    Regular combo platter

    I really enjoyed my combo platter! I would get Halal Guys again for a convenient, fast, simple and delicious meal. Thier red sauce was tasty and added a nice kick. I also liked the creaminess of the white sauce. The chicken was moist, but I prefer the beef. Nice little shop!

    10/8/20 Came by here to grab a drink and was completely ignored by all party members. Reggaeton played in the background and the associates were talking to each other and did not seem to care that I was there. One lady who was working in the back saw me and did not Inform any of her colleagues. I did not feel like speaking in Spanish after seeing what was going on. I don't see myself returning here.

    Combo Platter and the famous White Sauce.

    I was disappointed. As a New Yorker who used to eat at Halal Guys in Manhattan regularly, I was craving some halal. I recently moved down here and missed the flavors of the hot sauce and white sauce with my favorite Gyro. This didn't come close. It may say Halal Guys. It may have the same logo, but the food was sub par. The Gyro was dry like wood chips and the chicken was flavorless. Very disappointed. My friends-Halal Guys you are not, no matter how much you paid for the franchise fees.

    Pretty good, got the new spicy chicken. While I've had Halal Guys a ton, I've never had a bunch of chicken bones in my meal. Guess I know the chicken is real at least. Do some quality check guys.

    Combo. Platter

    Have been wanting to try this place out since they opened a year ago.Surprisingly only a handful of patrons were dining during a weekday lunch hour,however I noticed a steady stream of take outs. I ordered the combo platter small size. Mixed of beef and chicken with lettuce,tomatoes and rice (orange) with mayo sauce. My first impression after my initial bite was that the beef was dry (more like jerky) and was too salty.The chicken was just ok. Overall, with all the dining options available in the area I wouldn't be coming back.

    - Something about the meat quality is not right. It definitely does not match the customer experience and quality of the original 53rd and 6th Ave cart, but it gets the craving satisfied. - No loyalty rewards app on iOS or Android; they have a keychain/rewards card instead. +Before this review, I have ordered at this location more than a dozen times, which shows the underlying power of addiction to Halal Guys these meat and rice platters are known for. +They serve french fries and the portion is very generous. +Even though the chicken and gyro doesn't taste the same as the New York stalls, I still go to pick up a platter or four, here and there. I can just have one, per visit. LOL.

    Poor service, extremely rude, borderline racist. I have no idea why our server was feeling miserable in serving us just about anything. When asked about tabbouleh, she pulled out an old box from inside the bottom cabinet instead of taking fresh stock from the counter. When we objected, she packed some fresh stock in a box HOWEVER at the time of payment, very cleverly switched our new box with old stale one that she had. We asked her to discard that box and instead give babaganoush..she again served us an old stock from some remote refrigerator. To our horror, this was foul smelling stale box of babaganoush. I have the photos attached. Dear lady at the counter, I'd rather have appreciated a polite 'no, I don't wish to serve you for xyz reasons' rather than a nasty attempt to serve us poisonous stale food.

    Combo (Chicken and Gyro) Platter

    I've eaten here many times and I used to love it. I think their quality has gotten worse in the last few years, but it's still fairly good. Especially considering the portion they give for the price. I wouldn't recommend getting their chicken, I would just stick with the beef gyro, it's very tender and juicy. Also their fries are really good here. Even though it's just frozen they're still good So while I enjoyed it much more in the past, Halal Guys is still a great cheap eats place

    3.5 stars. I do agree with other yelpers on here when they say "The Halal Guys" in VA is missing that authentic street-food taste that the original 53rd St 6th cart in NYC so fully embraces. This location, however, does a good job at giving you the feel of the original fast-paced food cart. The man working was friendly, and staff was fairly quick considering the line of people coming in and out. There is VERY limited seating inside, so be wary of that. Prices are more expensive here than NYC, and I do feel like you get less food compared to the original cart. Like my friend and I discussed, "it tastes a little different, but it still is doable" if you have cravings for their chicken or beef platters and don't want to drive 5 hours!! Also, we realized they don't have lamb here which is a bummer. sidenote: remember to pile on the white sauce with the squeeze bottle because I think they charge for packets here

    Dined here last night and absolutely loved the vibes. We were able to walk in on a Saturday night…read moreat 5:30pm (despite there being no online reservations available). We ordered: - the honeydew mocktail (this was so good, I haven't had a mocktail that I enjoyed so much in a long time now) - the assortment of dips (delicious and paired so well with the bread) - a side of toum (this is an essential for me at any restaurant) - the ottoman rice (my family's favorite) - brussel sprouts - cauliflower (our server's favorite) - Adana kepab - the small lamb shoulder dish (really good) - branzino (sooo good and cooked perfectly) - pistachio soufflé (like a chocolate lava cake but with pistachio inside--soooo fab) We absolutely loved everything that we ordered and the bread that they served the food with. The service was so attentive. The vibes were really nice and not overly fancy. My family and I thought it was one of the best Turkish/middle eastern meals we've had in a while (and we thought this was much better than Zaytinya). Overall I cannot wait to return.

I got the Thyme to Bloom and it was good! We got the Mucver, Hummus, and Grilled Chicken. The Mucver texture wasn't my favorite but the sauce it came out with was yummy. Hummus and grilled chicken were good- not the best I've had but decent. The vibe was nice and I liked the decor. I'd come back to try their happy hour!

Second, the portions of absolutely authentic Persian food are HUGE. Hummus may not sound exciting, but it's the best around. And the saffron ice cream for desert was out of this world.

    My sister had recommended this spot to me because she knew I enjoyed Persian kebab, and when I had…read morea chance to be near today I stopped in. First, I didn't realize it was a sit down and order restaurant, I was used to short order. I was quickly seared and within a couple minutes one server had brought me water as well as fresh tandoori bread and a delicious spicy green sauce to go with it. A second server appeared quickly to take my order. I explained I was used to short order, and all I wanted was their version of chicken and steak (not ground beef.) The waiter explained how he'd do the combo on the menu and off he went. Having looked at the menu, I feared this might be an expensive option, and it was. But a few minutes later I was presented with a platter of delicious looking steak, chicken, rice, onions, tomato, and event a char-roasted jalapeño. It was enough food for my wife and I have had for dinner between us, so the price was well justified. Every thing was delicious. At the end of the meal, I asked if I could order another tandoori bread, and get a small to-go container of the green spicy spread to bring home for wife to try. They brought me both a generous helping of bread and the sauce, and charged me for neither. This service, combined with a delicious meal that, while expensive, will end up being three meals, means this is definitely a spot I plan to go back to as well as recommend.
