" Halal Guys has always been a go-to for flavors and convenience. I usually order their chicken platter and am never disappointed. The flavors are consistent, the staff is friendly, and the dining area is always clean. The biggest issue remains the portion sizes; sometimes it feels like I’m paying a bit more for less, particularly on busier days. Still, this place remains one of my favorites in the area! Highly recommend trying the lemonade! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is great but has room for improvement. The food tasted fresh, but my order was mixed up and I received someone else's platter. I didn’t want to make a scene, but I brought it to the attention of the staff, and they were incredibly nice about it. They made sure to rectify it quickly. I appreciate that kind of service. Overall, a solid experience with good food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me start by saying the food is delicious! The falafel was perfectly crispy and the chicken was juicy and flavorful. However, I do think the portion sizes can vary quite a lot. One of my friends got a huge amount of food while my plate felt a bit on the smaller side. It’s frustrating since the flavors are spot on, but I expect consistency. Service was fine, nothing special but not bad either. I would recommend this spot, just be mindful of the portions. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at The Halal Guys was decent. The food was good, with the chicken being quite tender, but I found that the portion sizes could vary a lot. My friend's platter was generous, while mine felt a bit skimpy. The service was adequate, not overly friendly but not rude either. I think I would return in hopes of a better portion next time, as the flavors are worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time trying Halal Guys last week and I instantly fell in love! Their chicken and gyro combo was everything I hoped it would be. The price is reasonable for the amount of food you get, but I wish the portion sizes were just a tad larger. The service was excellent, very quick and polite staff. I’m coming back for sure! Plus, the atmosphere is perfect for a quick bite or even dining with friends. Highly recommend checking this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Halal Guys seem to be thriving in their niche! My expectations were exceeded with the flavors and char they get on their meat. The chicken was perfectly done, and the white sauce is just right. I tried their baklava for dessert too, and it added a sweet finish to a fantastic meal. The team at this location is professional and courteous, making dining here easy and enjoyable. Committed to making this a regular spot on my visits to Newark! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing experience at The Halal Guys last night! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly. The staff was super friendly and even recommended some great dishes to try alongside my regular order. I opted for the combo plate and added extra hot sauce, which took it to another level! The freshness of the ingredients is evident, especially the salad. The only downside was the seating area was a bit cramped, but overall, I think the food more than compensates for it. 4 stars!
