    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
    AL K.

    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

    The beef gyro and falafel small platters
    Rob Y.

    For those who were disappointed, I say take your thumb away from your nose, come back and give them another shot because the owners stepped up and those great accessories are now available. Skeeter and I shared the beef gyro and falafel platters. We ordered the small (which is huge, biggly even) and got them loaded up with the white and hot sauce, fresh chopped onions and the pickled jalapeños- OMG this food is soooo good.

    Just that few amount of meat for $7.99 plus tax ???? The meat is over the rice level so it's not that much!

We did not make a reservation but fortunately, were were able to sit at a high top table near the bar. Then our waitress came over and explained the menu and suggested some drinks. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. For drinks we ordered a cucumber tequila drink and a rum cocktail. The cucumber cocktail was refreshing and wasn't too strong. The rum cocktail was a bit bitter and we were not able to drink so we ordered the cucumber drink instead. For our entrees we ordered the Paidakia which was lamb chops with asparagus and potatoes. We also ordered Arni Youvetsi which was the lamb shank braised with wine tomato sauce over orzo. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection as I ordered them medium well. The asparagus and potatoes were well seasoned and very tender and flavorful. The lamb shank was delicious as the meat fell off the bone. It was both very tender and flavorful. The orzo was cooked to perfection and the wine sauce complemented the lamb shank quite well. Overall, it was a great experience. I always enjoy Greek food and Nostos was no exception. I will return soon to try some other entrees. If you are in the area, I recommend stopping by. Cheers!

It's an upscale environment and for lunch there were a lot of corporate-looking diners. It's a pleasant atmosphere and the staff carefully seats you tables apart so you're not all crowded and it's not too loud. Excellent. We weren't particularly hungry so we asked share a full menu item and then ordered a salad to share. The prefix comes with either a salad or a dip(?) and we opted for the dip. The kubideh kebab was tasty. It was juicy and fresh. The rice was good. The salad was questionable. We didn't really like it but we didn't hate it. I wondered if it was just the vinegar or maybe mustard that was hitting too strong. My friend thought maybe it was stale like they'd pickled it too long. Not sure what it was but we couldn't finish it. When we had eaten about 60% the server came by and offered us pita bread. It would've been nice to have it from the beginning... Overall I would return to try their other foods.
