" Dining at The Halal Project was an incredible experience. The ambiance was modern yet cozy, decorated with beautiful murals that create a pleasant dining environment. The shawarma I had was mouthwatering—juicy, well-seasoned, and plentiful. I also enjoyed the homemade baklava for dessert, which was a delightful end to my meal. Customer service was very attentive, ensuring that I had everything I needed. This is now one of my go-to spots in San Marcos! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment I stepped into The Halal Project, I was greeted by an array of bright colors and artwork—it set the mood perfectly! I ordered the chicken kebab platter and it was delightful; flavors bursting with each bite! The service was a bit slow, but I noticed them preparing everything fresh. The seating area was comfy, making it a nice spot to hang out with friends. You should definitely try it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Halal Project has quickly become my favorite restaurant in town! The first time I visited, I had the chicken shawarma bowl, and the freshness and flavor blew me away! The only downside was the wait time, but I could see that everything was made fresh to order. The atmosphere is hip and appealing, with every corner adorned with cool art. The staff was friendly, and I even received a free dessert for my first visit—definitely a delightful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty average experience here. The food was good, not outstanding. The mixture of shawarma meats in my wrap was satisfying but didn’t have the punch of flavor I was hoping for. The service was bare-bones due to the self-service kiosk, leaving me to decipher the menu alone. The atmosphere was fine but not remarkable. I might consider checking back again, but I’m not in a rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is phenomenal! The menu is packed with options and everything is made to order. The chicken shawarma was delectable, and the fresh salads were crisp and tasty. I appreciated that I could customize my order to my liking. The atmosphere is casual yet vibrant, making it a great spot to dine with friends. The service was quick, considering how busy they were when I visited. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at The Halal Project. The restaurant has a fun atmosphere, but the ordering process using the touchscreen was a little impersonal. I ordered the combo platter, which was a good value and satisfying in size. However, the taste was decent but not spectacular—especially when expected a richer flavor profile. It definitely wasn't bad, but not a standout in the Mediterranean scene. Worth a visit if you're nearby. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at The Halal Project was quite pleasant! The vegetarian platter was not only filling but also delicious—with lots of fresh ingredients. The ambiance was casual and welcoming, and the staff were attentive, even with the self-serve ordering process. I’d say this is a worthy stop if you're in the mood for Mediterranean eats!
