" 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*)

" 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*)

" 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*)

" 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*)

" 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*)

" 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! " (*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*)
