" Came here today and had a mixed experience. The gyro meat was underwhelming and did not pack the punch I expected. The chicken was better but still not the best I’ve had. The service was friendly enough, but there was a wait to get our order taken. The place was quite busy, and I felt like they were overwhelmed. I might give the Halal Guys another shot, but I wish they would improve the taste consistency. 3 stars. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to the Halal Guys today expecting great food based on all the hype. I ordered the chicken platter and falafel. The chicken was flavorful but a bit drier than I prefer. The falafel, on the other hand, was to die for! I even took some home. The service was decent, not the fastest but friendly. I would definitely return just for the falafel. Next time I’ll try something a little different. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly had mixed feelings about my last visit. While the food was good, I found the chicken to be slightly dry, and the portions felt smaller than I remembered. The service was decent, but it did take a little longer than expected for someone to take my order even though it was not busy. However, the place was clean and the vibe was chill. Maybe it was just an off day, but I’m willing to give them another shot. Overall, I’d rate it a 4. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Halal Guys has quickly become my favorite dining spot since I first visited! Their chicken and gyro over rice is absolutely packed with flavor and those three sauces they offer are just divine. The balance between the hot sauce and the white sauce really makes every bite special. The atmosphere is casual yet inviting, making it a great spot for lunch after a long day of work. I can't get enough of their falafel, too! It’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. A must-try! Definitely a solid 5 stars from me. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to various Halal Guys locations and while this one has its ups and downs, what keeps me coming back is the quality of their chicken. It’s always cooked perfectly and the flavor is spot on. However, I've noticed that portions can be inconsistent, sometimes large and other times feeling quite small for the price. Despite the inconsistency, the food quality always shines through, making it a worthwhile outing. 4 stars for me! " (*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!
