" While I appreciated the lively environment of The Halal Project, my overall experience was a bit underwhelming. The chicken was good but lacked the rich flavor I’ve come to associate with authentic Mediterranean food. I found the prices a bit steep for what we received. The self-order system felt a bit awkward as well. Probably wouldn’t visit again anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Halal Project was a great find! The atmosphere is casual with a hip vibe. The food was delicious; I had the chicken kebab wrap, which was packed with flavor. However, the self-order kiosks weren’t the most seamless experience, as I had some trouble figuring out what I wanted. The staff would occasionally engage positively. I'd recommend trying it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried multiple Mediterranean places around town, I would say The Halal Project ranks high on my list. The portions were indeed generous, and the meat was well-seasoned. I had the chicken over rice and loved it, especially with their special sauce. I noticed a bit of inconsistency in the service during busy hours, but the quality of food made up for it. I would venture to say it's a must-try if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, just wow! The Halal Project exceeded my expectations from the moment I walked in. The decor was funky and vibrant, filled with unique art pieces. The food? Unreal! I tried the lamb shawarma, and it was one of the best I've had! The portion sizes were huge, and I barely finished my plate. The staff were friendly and made sure my experience was pleasant. I’ll be bringing friends next time for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had my first meal at The Halal Project recently. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The chicken kebabs were juicy and flavorful, served with a side of delicious garlic sauce that complemented them perfectly. The self-ordering process was straightforward, though it would be nice to see someone more interactive at the front. The place was clean and had a great vibe. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area again. " (*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!
