You can't go wrong with this place. I tried both the regular chicken platter and the chicken tikka platter. Both awesome. Chicken tikka was soo juicy!! The portion size is great!! The prices are the most reasonable you can get for platters!! Great value for the money and very good service. Highly recommended! read more

Came here for a quick bite to eat, the food was prepared quickly and the owners are super nice. Very cute little spot. We had the lamb platter, a double cheese burger, fries and a piece of chicken leg. The food was delicious, hot and fresh. Loved it read more

Based on the food alone I would give this a 5 star. Reminds of the street carts in NYC. However the delivery service has led me to provide a 3/5. Had good luck with ordering pickup many times. Went to order last night for delivery. DoorDash was charging $14.99 per platter. I ordered directly from Halal Spot's website because it was more affordable than using DoorDash. Unfortunately, the delivery took an excruciatingly long 2 hours to arrive. This wait was incredibly frustrating, and it's disappointing that the promised delivery time was not met. I hope they can improve their delivery speed in the future. It's bad that the delivery is leading me to provide a less than ideal review. read more

Food was tasty. Had a lamb gyro on a pita bread. Definitely ask for the green sauce it is the real deal. I would not dine, for a to go place it is pretty good. read more

The food taste/quality was just eh; not very bad neither good. Not worth going back. The food taste is 2.5 stars. But, I'm giving an aggregate 1 star because there was a long nasty hair in my rice.... read more

We ordered online. I like that there was something for each of us in our party of 5. Very generous sized portions at a very reasonable rate. Falafel platter was crunchy on the outside and moist nutty flavor on the inside. Tikka and tandoori platters were delicious. My mom had the gyro, which she liked. We had side orders of naan-also good and baklava for dessert-yummy! A suggestion would be to add tzatziki sauce as an option. And maybe explain what the white and green sauces are online little heavy on the sauces so specify if you would like them lighter or on the side. Would also recommend that the front space be cleared out. Lots of boxes and files of papers does not make an appealing entrance and first impression. The server, who I assume is also the owner, is very friendly. read more

Was looking forward to this place . food did not taste fresh. The rice and meat were stuck together in a chunk like it was not cooked or heated up properly. Would not go back read more

Excellent butter curry & Nam, so fresh, wonderful spices. I look forward when I visit from fl.

3 stars because the food is good . I love the chicken meal. But they have usually messed up my orders . They either mix up the sauces or not give all the sauces . I have always ordered take out and end up noticing a mixup when I open the box at home. Small clean place though . read more

Love it. Every time I order the food is fresh and the flavors are amazing. Def a zillion times better than Halal Guys. read more

The Halal Spot - Lamb and Chicken Platter - Halal Near Me - Carteret, New Jersey

Been here several times - about time I leave a review. It's probably the only easy place to stop when going down the turnpike. However that doesn't mean it's not good- in fact it's surprising how good the food here is. Even with a mile long menu, one would think there's no way all this food can be tasty. But it is. I had chicken tikka and it was delicious. Platters are also tasty. Lamb gyro was good- but not the real lamb, but street meat lamb type. It's a solid halal place. read more

Delicious, fresh, flavorful and convenient. Huge menu with different options for everyone

Ordered a shish tawoiok platter for delivery. The description said white rice and green salad with 2 chicken kababs marinated in garlic and lemon juice. Got the 2 kabobs but not sure they were the right thing. Orange rice, no salad. When choosing your options it offers lettuce tomato and onion as toppings. I didn't realize you can only order 1 so I got a big pile of onions in white sauce. They need to change their description on Uber Eats if that's not what they serve. Very disappointing, probably won't order again. read more

The Halal Spot - the meal in a styrofoam container - Halal Near Me - Carteret, New Jersey

So being in the mood for halal I decided to look for something in the area to see what was around. Since this place got a lot of reviews, I wanted to try it out. I ordered the chicken platter with rice and white sauce. I also got pickles on the side along with tomato's and onions. Initially I was going to give this place "3" stars since there seemed to be flies flying around the garnish when I came in the first time on Sunday. However, after a few days I started wanting some halal food from this spot and went back. Although the insects turned me off the 1st time I came in, I did not see them any other time. The pita slices here are AMAZING! The food is pretty good also- I would come back. read more

Halal Spot is great, which at first looks like just another halal guys-esque chicken and rice platter spot, but they also have a variety of tandoor items and curries to choose from. I tried their chicken sikh kabob and a lamb kabob, and both were great. Looking forward to returning and checking out their Old Bridge location. read more

The food here was very good. There can be a little bit of a wait if you are going to dine in as they get a lot of take out orders but it would have been worth it. I had gotten the chicken gyro platter where you can pick as many (or as little) veggies to go with on the side and an order of masala fries. I would definitely recommend both! read more

The Halal Spot could very well deserve an extra star, but on my small to go order experience it rates at least a solid three. The store is clean and comfortable albeit a bit austere and on the small side, but welcoming enough for people to sit and eat. Along one wall you have typical kitchen style tables and chairs allowing for groups of four or fewer to easily sit. Along the opposite wall toward the back is one counter where you order food and dictate what salad items you want. Further to the front is another counter where you can pay, and also select any of a few pastries and candy treats. I only ordered a large side of falafel, 6 pieces for $3, and everything about it was amazing. Made fresh, a healthy size, hot and crisp outside with a warm "falafely" inside. I was surprised to find the falafel is actually spicy (only slightly, but be warned if you don't like a kick to your food!) Service was friendly. Only one guy behind the counter so with a crowd it could possibly back up, but he hustled and acknowledged every customer as they came in. I'll definitely try more food from Halal Spot, and hopefully will give them an upgrade then. read more

For $10 you can't go wrong with the chicken and long grain rice. The chicken is always fresh as also with the rice.. Usual wait time is about 5 to 7 minutes because they make your order the way you exactly specify read more

The food is great beware the portions are huge definitely enough for two unless you have an insatiable appetite.

This was very good. I enjoyed the mixed platter with extra meat. The white sauce was also very good.

Oh yeah! This place is fantastic! I recommend it for anyone that wants to try Halal food for the first time. It was my first time, so I can't compare to other places but I do know good food and this place is delicious. The place is super clean and the guy, didn't catch his name is super friendly. I wish this place tons continued success because I'd like to keep it around for a long time. read more

Got Butter Chicken the other day here. It was amazing. Another day I came here I also got The Chapli Kabab. I've had Chapli Kabab at Afghan Restaurants before and this one was definitely different, much spicier it was very good. The Naan is also very good, always fresh from the oven. I love that this place doesn't shy away from making the food with some spice. Great food definitely coming back. read more

I just moved to Rahway and I am THRILLED to have found this place. The Halal Spot is AMAZING! The mixed gyro platter comes in a generous portion, the white and green sauce on top was delicious, and the veggies to go with are fresh. It tastes so much better than other halal places. I already became a regular, and their consistency is applaudable. Keep doing what you're doing, guys. Do yourself a favor and eat here. I can't wait to come around and get some more food read more

You might pass it at first when you drive by, this place is very clean, the staff here are nice, and the food is the bomb dot com. If you're hungry you should definitely get the hotspot platter!

I have been trying to find a chicken over rice place for awhile now. I was in the area and hungry so I found this place on yelp. Omg. This place is amazing. I loved the chicken over rice so much, I got it with white sauce and green sauce, it was amazing and the salad choices are amazing as well. This place has great seating and GREAT customer service. The guys that were working were amazing and very nice. Will be going back soon for more!! read more

Have ordered here before and enjoyed the food. Today I was given burnt pita bread, half a container of chicken curry and one very large wing instead of wings. Complete waste of 30$ I will not be returning! read more

Where to begin? This place has become like a second home to us (don't judge, and totally worth it). My fiancé and I have been coming here almost every weekend for the past few months. We only regret not discovering it sooner. The food is delicious. I always get the mixed platter. The chicken and lamb are scrumptious, and even the rice is awesome. The plethora of veggies to pick from for on the side are always a nice touch, too. My fiancé often gets the mixed on naan and chicken tikka on naan. He loves them. The white sauce is yummy. Oh, and the naan. Do yourself a favor and grab a few of those on the side, too. They are the size of frisbees. We've also tried the falafel, which is great. Nice crunch on the outside, but soft on the inside. We also tried the Chapli Kebab, which was also deliciously crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside, with great spices. To top it all off, the guys who work here are incredibly nice. Always going above and beyond. Even apologizing several times for something small, like having to wait a little long on a busy night. It wasn't even that long, we didn't care, but they still gave us two free bags of chips. :) They also seem to offer a great array of various spices, teas (which I definitely want to try!), snacks, and other goodies from the Middle East and India (I apologize if I'm getting the regions wrong - they have so much, and I'm not super familiar with where it's all from!). Also, homemade baklava, which we'll definitely try one day. Oh, and the prices! So amazing. You get so much for not too much. A mixed platter, mixed on naan, and chicken tikka on naan comes out to less than $20. Definitely head to The Halal Spot as soon as you can. These guys rock. read more
