What a trip down memory lane it was eating this amazing meal! After a night of drinking I always loved having me some chicken over rice from the carts in the city in my younger days. It has been a LONG time since then and I saw the red and yellow sign and I knew I just had to try it again and see if it was as good as I remember and honestly it was even better! Now they treat it as an assembly line so it's a much quicker pace. You can choose a small or large platter with either chicken, gyro or falafel. You get your typical rice, lettuce, tomatoes and pita bread but can also add fix ins such as green peppers, onions, olives and jalapeños. They also have the white sauce pre packaged now!!!! So the food can last a little on your way home and/or so you can smother the whole plate in sauce :) The chicken was so nice and juicy and flavorful! The rice also has a nice seasoning to it and as a Puertorican orange/yellow rice is always the way! read more

The Halal Guys - Small Platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - Yonkers, New York

I order from them constantly on Uber eats I feel like it's better than shah's i've never been inside but the quality of food even when I have to wait for it to get to me is amazing read more

It's been about 10 years since I stood on the famous line on 53rd and 6th for some chicken and rice, smothered in white sauce. Back in the day, I'd round up a group of friends and drive into the city (or hop on the subway) just to get dinner. I have such fond memories of never being able to finish a plate and feeling absolute bliss after eating. When I heard this place opened, of course, I had to pick up some food and put it to the test. I crossed my fingers that it was as good as I remembered. And it actually was. The meat and rice was exactly what I remembered. It was like I went back into time. The only thing that would have made this a 5 star review was that they neglected to give me my white sauce. This may seem small but it's really what ties it together. I didn't even think to check before I left because the two bags were tied up like a booby trap and I could barely open it up to make sure all the food was there. I didn't think I had to ensure they'd include the famous white sauce that they clearly advertise comes with the food (and yes, I checked). Other than that, delish! read more

The Halal Guys - Combo plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Yonkers, New York

A bit slower than the city and some of the employees looked like they don't want to be there. Clean and convenient. Very similar to what's in the city without the street dust on your food. I get it, some people like that, but not me. Definitely will continue to go and support this local store. read more

The Halal Guys - Middle Eastern Near Me - Yonkers, New York

I have been eating Halal Guys for over a decade. It was a pilgrimage when I went into NYC, it was a rare treat after going out in college, and it was a decadent lunch out of my midtown office. Halal Guys at 53rd and 6th is longest-running and best-known halal food cart business in New York. It can't be stated enough how far the Halal Guys reach extends. It's rare that 1 singularly perfected dish can unite the Manhattan construction workers, the J.P. Morgan investment bankers, the out-of-town tourists, the Parsons fashion students, and all the city's Uber drivers - let alone from a near 24/7 food cart. It's a classic NYC stable and the line is reliably ever-replenishing. Halal Guys is in the process of leveraging their brand and extending their empire via a franchise platform. Their aspiration is to become the Chipotle of Middle Eastern food. Whether they can retain their original NYC food cart magic, still remains unproven. I attended the Halal Guys Yonkers grand opening and while it may not retain the same street food cart magic, I thought it was a fairly reliable homage to my old memory. Their operations were clean, service was fast, portions were plentiful, and the packaged prepared sauces were familiar. The proteins remain muted in flavor. The falafel remains tough and dry. But overall, I thought this was a fair representation of the franchise brand. I was hoping to get a Halal Guys shirt and pillow during their grand opening celebration, but hopefully I can get one next time!! read more

Great place for takeout. The entrees are big enough for you to share with someone else. The white sauce makes the average quality falafel and beef taste much better. The baklava is super sweet and moist. It's worth trying, but don't expect this to be as good as the original Halal Guys in the city read more

See all

It scratches the itch for Halal Guys without going into the city, but the meat here is always a little too crunchy and the pitas aren't always soft and fresh. The sit-down location at 95 and Amsterdam is still my favorite. read more

Poor management leads to worse service. I've been having issues picking up orders I placed in advance. Yesterday, I ordered on Grubhub in advance and an employee wouldn't release my $15 order, even after I told her my name/initial and showed my receipt, unless I showed her a "confirmation" page which does not exist on the Grubhub app. Poor training and a total waste of my time. Food is 3/5 at best. Better options in Westchester. read more

What is fast food Hala food not necessarily the cheapest for fast food, but the better quality that you're going to get then Burger King or let's say McDonald's and you can put what you want on your plate and have it like you want it so I would recommend you give me a shot because if you like Hala food like this read more

food was very nasty, bland and not authentic halal. food was a waste of my money. Go elsewhere don't know why they are even still open with these Ratings. read more

Ordered a few times so I even downloaded the app now. Believe it or not this is not an unhealthy meal. We like the small combo platter of chicken and lamb which is halal certified. Simple rice, lettuce, tomato and the meat. I'm big into ingredients so I don't use their white sauce anymore and have made my own along with hot sauce. Things like soybean oil steer me away although I used to down the platters in it when I was younger driving to the city to get 53rd! Their baklava was nice and tasty as well. Good service for order with pick up. Quick and easy! Happy you guys are in westchester now. Just look deeper into the additives in your sauce !! read more

The Halal Guys - Small Chicken & Beef Gyro Platter - wi the Hummus as well. Very good - Middle Eastern Near Me - Yonkers, New York

My favorite halal. I don't even do the food trucks anymore unless it's from these guys. They have the fresh rice and beef and chicken. (The lamb is seasonal). You can do gyros or rice combos. They add veggies if you want and their white sauce is BANGING! They have an app now to get reward points. Download it before you go. read more

I have ordered from here twice for takeout. I've had the chicken platter and also the spicy beef gyro platter. I'm not a fan of the chicken, no real flavor. The beef is better, but nothing spicy about it unless you add the hot sauce yourself. I like spicy, but the hot sauce is def. a lot and can overpower the dish so use it wisely. The portions are ok, but def way too much rice and lettuce for my liking. Forget about the pita bread, stiff and cold every time. The place is kept clean and the staff seems friendly. For the prices they are charging that amounts to a platter of 50% rice & lettuce, it's not a spot im coming back to anytime soon. read more

Service was quick but needs improvement. I asked for extra protein as listed on the menu and immediately told the price. It is the only location left in this area and is more expensive than expected. I gave it one star because the food wasn't hot or even room temperature. I was a few bites into my platter and got a healthy serving of plastic wrap. read more

The Halal Guys - Plastic in the food - Middle Eastern Near Me - Yonkers, New York

Went to this place a few times every time I was disappointed. First time tried their chicken and beef over rice the chicken was nasty. 2 nd 3rd time went with the beef gyro it was good but both times what I ordered and paid for wasn't in the bag. They want you to pay extra for add ons like jalapeños white cause and red sauce. Ordered extra white sauce paid both times and when I got home nothing in the bad. read more

Got a beef/chicken combo and a chicken/falafel combo. the chicken was way too salty and the falafel was cooked almost into a rock. Super dry on the inside. The only decent part of these was the beef but even that was pretty mediocre. Have had better halal before. Also after ordering online and arriving 10 mins past the estimated time it'd be ready we still had to wait as our food wasnt even made. read more

I say! I was initially unsure of what to expect from an establishment which grew from a humble Manhattan food cart. After experiencing their fare I must say, the hype is well-deserved! Their bread-and butter (or pita and hummus if you will) are their gyros or platters. They offer either chicken or beef and your choice of mix ins (toppings). Either are solid choices and pair well with their white sauce which is their middle-eastern take on tzatziki. Even something as common as chips (French fries) are delicious and freshly prepared. Solid choice for a quick bite that won't break the bank Good show! read more

It's decent food but you don't really get the same feel/taste of the city. I know prices are going up but damn this was a pretty expensive plate. read more

Why start charging for olives and jalapenos? Now a small plater will cost $15 that will not help you last sorry.

Love that halal food! Nothing like the white sauce. Would come back anytime. Would recommend. read more

I was so happy to see this in the area; Great service and great food ! The quesadilla is my favorite . Keep up the great work !

Henry was an extraordinary human being, person, and had an excellent customer service I highly recommend this store.

Food is good, not fancy. The falafel is above average. The hot sauce is too hot, and I like hot. I cannot comment on the white sauce because it contains ingredients and I am allergic to . The plates are generous and the food is really good. read more

I love the food!! Would definitely recommend!! Everything was fresh! even the chicken was so warm and their lemonades are delicious

Love Halal guys in Manhattan. This may have the same name but that's as far it goes. The chicken is not chopped like the other Halal guys, it's large chunks of undercooked chicken that just ruins the whole dish. Pita was not fresh. Won't be back, why change what worked so well??? read more

Food was good. Had the beef and chicken platter. Service was excellent and they made sure the food was made the way we wanted it. Sitting area is clean. The best Halal is Yummy Platter in Newburgh. If you head up the Hudson Valley they are worth stopping for. read more

One word... AMAZING! I moved from the city 3 years ago and have constantly been looking for a good gyro!!! This is it! I was a regular at the 53rd and 6th location. I no longer have to take that long trip! To top it off they were extremely friendly! Especially Jose! Thanks!!! read more

This is the second time I've been to this Halal Guys location, the first time the portions weren't that bad & I wasn't really impressed with the flavor. I said to myself, "let me give them another chance" and boy, I was disappointed in the portion of food. I ordered the regular size with no lettuce or tomato & this is what I got. I am not a cheap person & have spent good money on take out, but this is ridiculous!! I know food prices have gone up but this is so disappointing. You can literally see the bottom of the container. If this is what they serve for a regular plate, I wonder what the small portion looks like! And they have the nerve to charge $12 for this. I won't be coming here again. read more

The Halal Guys - a plate of food on a table - Middle Eastern Near Me - Yonkers, New York

Came here for the first time and would not return. Totally different than what I remember from the Halal Guys in Manhattan. The rice was so salty and gross, practically hard, and the meat (chicken and lamb) were the scraps left from the trays. It was so hard and dry. I could see it was the little that was left from the trays but I figured they were going to replenish their trays...wrong. Totally gross. For about $14 after taxes for a "large" plate, do yourself a favor and skip this place. read more

They don't pay attention any customizations that you make when place order. I have to customize because of an allergy I have and I also mentioned the allergy in the order ... And still when I got my food there it was! (Online order) read more

To be fair, my whole family has dined there and we all agree. We loved Halal guys. We went to them for many years the original location on sixth Avenue in Manhattan. When we heard they were opening up different locations all over the city. We were very excited when a location opened up near me. We went there, and it was not the same, it was actually terrible, the meat was under seasoned (someone needs to sample the food). The beef was very dry. The folks who work there are obnoxious and rude (they do not want to be there). It's very sad to say but we will not be going back there again. We thought they may have had one off day and we went a few more times , And it was all the same. Unfortunately the food is not as good as the one on sixth Avenue or the first day this location opened. maybe in a couple years we'll go back. We hope they take these reviews serious and have some kind of quality assurance in regards to their meals, and workers, but for now we will be staying away and giving another Halal restaurant my business($). All the best read more

ordered a gyro sandwich which made me sick. better to avoid. it was okay tasting, but certainly not the best.

Worst Halal food I ever had. Horrible!!!!!!!!! Don't go! Nothing is halal about this food it taste like a kid with no cooking skills made it how are you open, read more

Absolutely amazing service from Emani she took care of my order quick and efficient. Def coming back for this great service

My taste buds are scorn not to crap on a new business but this is by far the worst knock off attempt I have ever tried not even close to the real thing like in the city .white sauce was also watery and food over priced read more

OMG! My first time here with my sister. The food is amazing! We ordered the chicken/beef and falafel/chicken combos, baklava cheese cake and mango infused lemonade. Gary and Natalia provided such great service and excellent people skills. This restaurant is also very clean including a handicap accessible bathroom. Everyone is made to feel welcomed here. Thank you for the awesome time. read more

"It does not feel good to go back "This is the third time I stopped by this new halal guys place. The only thing I don't like is the food was not enough.especially I ordered a large size . If u think u paid for more and u get more food. This was not the case. And I knew I am not the only problem. There was 2 other customer behind me was buying food. They even address the same issue to the staff ( especially the middle eastern guy, either the owner or superior ) customer addressed to him that it's not enough meat on the plate. And end up if the customer demanding more meat , customer have to paid extra for it. So my question is " why you pay extra for the meat and the meat was never enough from the beginning .the food tray aluminum container was only 3 quarter full. My final conclusion to all new customer 1 . If you feel you are too hungry, do not go there Because you going to end up paying over $12 After the meal , you will still feel hungry. Only go There for one reason, if you are on the diet. 2. If I ever go back there for a reason. I only want to buy Their halal guys sauce. Not food Please! All customer should write a review here At least maybe one day halal guys realize that it's not worth to keep all the meat and profit to themselves instead to give enough to customer.' read more

So the chicken tastes bad. I took one bite of the falafel and spit it out. But the kicker for me was when I was placing my order and asked for LESS rice and lovely server was abided by what ask and his superior said (right in front of my face), "we don't do what customers asks us to do. It is policy" really? I'm paying for this and I'm asking for less. It is not like I was asking for extra meat or salad. I rather spend twice as much on the halal cart vendor or my personal favorite Mamouns...can't compare flavors or service. I'm sorry to the person that was serving me...he was nice. read more

This shit is wack someone explain me how I said combo and I only got chicken. This isn't a real halal guys. The portion is too small even when you order regular read more

I came there hungry and I left still feeling hungry. They didn't give enough food for what I paid for. I find it expensive.
