The food is outstanding and the people are very friendly and extremely welcoming. My "go-to" dish is the chicken and rice platter with salad. As mentioned, the food quality is exceptional, very flavorful and always fresh. Chicken chunks are very tender and well seasoned. The rice is delicious and the salad is always fresh, crisp and cold. They have a wide variety of sauces and they always ask if you need more. And, yes, the platters are enormous. It is literally impossible to walk out of this place feeling hungry. The Halal Spot also has lamb, falafel, butter chicken and wide variety of other dishes. So if you are looking for a place that serves outstanding food, enormous portions that is reasonably priced. Your "go-to" spot should be The Halal Spot. Yes, it is that good!

I ordered the paneer platter and it was ok. I feel there was more rice than the paneer given. I wish there was a spice level option as well because I like spicy food. The web page pictures are misleading because for one the Makhni in the picture is more of a yellow curry base, whereas what I got was more of a red-orange (more so the color shown in the tikka masala image). My friend ordered the butter chicken and it was the same deal with the color, but I also have never had either dish before with a more yellow curry base so lol I just wanted to say it's inconsistent. We also ordered the Heavenly Hummus to share. Hummus was good, pita was good, but whatever was spread on top of the pita to make it a "garlic bread" was very strange tasting. We didn't particularly enjoy that portion of the pita.

It's been years since I've reviewed this McDonald's location formally, but I'm here with assuring…read morenews that this McDonald's, ever since they've pridefully publicised the name and "direct" contacts of the franchisee, has kept up with higher-than-average standards of operating a McD's for the customer satisfaction. How do I determine how it's higher-than-standard that can earn this location a 4 rating? Because McDonald's is everywhere, you want to focus on the things that matter most in weeding out the bad ones from the good - those things are as follows: ORDER ACCURACY: For the past 6 months from writing, the only issue I have had that did not contribute to the loss of one out of five stars in the rating is the sauce for the McNuggets - often and likewise with many other locations, Honey Mustard is confused for Honey packets. With that in mind, this location has done so much better in reducing that mistake, so I give major kudos to them for that. Aside from sauces, the occasional miss of a value-added special instruction (such as adding extra ingredient, condiment, etc.) would be addressed professionally, whether you filled out the survey on the receipt or brought it up to the restaurant's attention. FOOD QUALITY: The problem almost all McDonald's has is making sure everything comes out hot, fresh (and just for you, the customer.) This especially matters more during the late dinner hours (within 3 hours prior to scheduled closing.) Thankfully, in the daytime, you've got a good chance (more than 50%) that your fries and y our McNuggets will come out fresh, crispy and tasty. Burgers and other sandwiches follow a high standard and come out excellent every time. SERVICE: That being said, last mentioning burgers, it appears that, despite it being a fast-food ℎ , the burgers take more time than ever and primarily-drive-thru customers, like myself, tend to get "parked" without being told exactly why. The good thing is that it doesn't seem like the pandemic slowed this McD's down! On a miscellaneous note, it appears the restaurant is PG-13 as you can hear some choice words throughout the kitchen and the registers in the afternoon and evening - this is for the ones who prefer a "Rated E for Everyone" experience for the sake of their family... or themselves. To the Marinello Family McDonald's Restaurants / Marin Management, thank you for taking on the challenges of being a McDonald's situated conveniently near one of the Northeastern U.S.'s most travelled U.S. Highways and keep doing well what you're doing!

Me again. Here to give you an update about my recent experiences at Rosalita's -- a place that I've…read morefrequented over 10 years, as seen from my initial review 11 years ago. Unfortunately, our family can no longer justify coming here. I know that the restaurant industry can be tough these days with increasing costs, labor shortages, and the lot. I understand it. The problems started a few years ago after the pandemic. Unfortunately, as many places have continued to do, businesses like Rosalita's are now passing along their business expenses to their customers -- namely the 3-4% credit card fees that businesses used to build into their pricing. What was initially a survival goal to stay afloat during the pandemic because every penny mattered is now just our way of life because it's easier. I hate it. Fine... we started bringing cash. Next, the quality of the food started taking a dive. My usual go to burrito was not as flavorful, rushed, and prices increased significantly. Rice was mush and hard to muster texturally. Drink cups are hilariously smaller (to be fair, they were hilariously large before... but we never needed a refill...) But the one thing Rosalita's had that we could always count on was awesome chips and salsa. The chips are still great -- but the first thing we noticed on their even more pricey, revamped menu was... a fee for any additional chips. Seriously guys? Maybe you're losing money on chips, but let's think about this for a second. The average customer gets their food so fast, how many chips are they actually going through? It's a huge draw to your restaurant and now you're punishing every table. If I'm alone, I get 1 basket of chips. If I have a family of four, we get ... wait for it... ONE basket of chips for the table. Especially when you've got kids, the chips are the draw and now the parents get none because the kids pound down the basket before we can even place an order and I absolutely refuse to pay an extra fee that could buy me an entire BAG of chips at the grocery store. It's highway robbery, greed, and unfortunately we just can't justify coming to this restaurant due to all the price increases, and micro-transaction fees on top over just the last few years with this sudden shift of moving away from a family friendly, fun vibe, with great service and great food. I'm really sad about it guys. Truly. But there are other restaurants very close by that aren't punishing their customers and I'd rather spend my hard earned dollars there instead I'm afraid.

My introduction to Chick-fil-A came courtesy of a friend who rang me up, bubbling with excitement…read moreover their "Paint a Pot" spring welcome event. She and her husband are regulars, and on occasion, they even join in on Bingo nights there. We decided to grab a meal before the painting program. Brilliant marketing strategy on Chick-fil-A's part, I must say, because it absolutely worked on me. Walking in as a first-timer, I was studying the menu when the manager noticed and came right over to help. I mentioned I didn't have much of an appetite, and he guided me toward the nugget meal; a smart suggestion, since it came with a choice of drink and waffle fries at a very reasonable price. Helpful, attentive, and not pushy. A great first impression. Here is my rating for the meal: ~ Chicken Nuggets ~ 4/5 stars A small mix-up on my end: I accidentally ordered the classic nuggets instead of the grilled variety. I'd seen the photo but missed that all-important word, "grilled." Entirely my fault -- and honestly, no complaints. They were freshly made and wonderfully crispy. The manager also noticed I was unfamiliar with the sauces and asked whether I preferred spicy or sweet, then generously sent me off with Zesty Buffalo, Sweet Sriracha, and a ranch to play it safe. A thoughtful touch. ~ Waffle Fries ~ 5/5 stars These were the standout dishes of the meal. Generously sized, with a slight crispness on the outside that gives way to a soft, fluffy interior. No condiments needed -- they're perfect on their own. I highly recommend it. ~ Strawberry Hibiscus Lemonade ~ 4.5/5 stars Balanced, refreshing, and thirst-quenching. The citrus is front and center, with a pleasant sweetness that doesn't overwhelm. A refill was happily offered -- and happily accepted. ~ Strawberry Hibiscus Sunjoy ~ 5/5 stars My friend recommended it, and she was absolutely right. This one blends their classic lemonade with freshly brewed sweetened iced tea, landing somewhere between tart and floral and lighter on the sweetness than the lemonade, and a touch more nuanced. It's my new favorite. Don't skip it. The staff throughout the evening were attentive and genuinely warm, keeping the dining area clean and tidy without missing a beat. One curious observation: there's a basket near the counter where unused condiments, dipping sauces, and children's meal prizes are collected, sanitized, and offered to the next guest. All in all, a wonderful first visit. Good food, great company, and a charming painting event to round out the evening. I'll be back, and next time I'll remember to say "grilled."
