This place has some AMAZING eats! I was in the area and read some really good reviews, so I decided to give them a try. They have an interesting menu and I had a tough time deciding what to get and asked the guy working behind the counter what he suggested and he said their shawarma wrap, which I ordered, with chicken. Because I was dining in, they cut it and put it on a platter with their most amazing hot sauce and some toum. These sauces were excellent too! That wrap was outstanding! So, very flavorful too! Service was great, food was great, prices was great - Highly Recommend Stopping In!! read more

Basically Halal doesn't miss. The beef shawarma is layered exactly how it should be -- seasoned beef, Persian pickles, sumac onions, tomato, cilantro, pomegranate molasses, and homemade tahini all working in balance. Sweet, tangy, savory -- no weak notes. The move, though? Add chicken and bacon. It elevates everything -- the smoky depth with the bright acidity and creamy tahini creates a full flavor arc in every bite. Beyond the food, the hospitality stands out. The staff creates a genuinely welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel less like a customer and more like family. This is how shawarma should hit. read more

Worst food I have ever had $30 for a diet Palestine coke 3 very small bite size pcs of baklava and a dish of 90% French fries with tiny pieces of dried up meat on top and drenched in some cold mayo based sauce . Disappointing, not sure what the rest of you were eating but will never do that again. read more

Yummy and cozy mediterranean restaurant I saw on tik tok and decided to give it a try. It's a super cute spot located in a plaza. We ordered the Chicken Platter and Chicken Schwarma. The food was very flavorful with the right amount of spice/heat. The chicken schwarma was plated so cute! The prices are very reasonable about $12 per entree item. They also offer Palestinian based soda products. These were also really good. The service was great. Would definitely recommend this business and I will be returning again to try other options. read more

Delicious ,my husband got the chicken shawarma. He really liked it, but I'm not a fan of a lot of eastern spices and it was a little too much of that for me, but he was very impressed. We will go back and try other dishes also. read more

Fantastic casual halal spot. The interior is clean and well decorated with a couple tables for groups seating and additional seating outdoors. The food was fresh and packed with flavor, everything from the shawarmas to the cheesesteak, burgers and even just their fries with their various sauces were all wonderful. The service was incredibly friendly and prompt, and the prices were quite fair. Only slight comment was that for dining in their plates/dishes were small for how large the portions were, felt like I was going to spill into the table with every bite. read more

I enjoyed my food so much. I forgot to take a picture of it until after I started eating it, but everything was made fresh to order and it was delicious. I tried their specialty drink. Vimto and it reminded me of a cheer wine or a big red soda, it did not disappoint. The baklava was tasty, but I felt like it was not as fresh as it could've been, but it was still good. The staff was very knowledgeable about the menu. You can sit down and eat inside, but the seating is limited, but they also have outdoor seating as well. I will come back and try again soon. read more

I love this little Palestinian place in Midlothian. First time here and it was everything. Service was amazing. It's very quiet and clean in there. They also have outdoor seating, which I really liked. Food is also decently priced, very affordable and very delicious. Food and ingredients is very fresh. I can't wait to come back and try some other items on the menu. Definitely show them some support! read more

I have to start here, this was the best falafel I have ever had!! Restaurant was in a small shopping center next to a 7-11. Restaurant was clean but small and we chose to sit in the outdoor area which was very comfortable and covered. The service was good as they offered their opinion on what I should try for a first visit and they were friendly. The food was very good, I got the chicken shawarma with a side of fries and falafel and my coworker got the falafel bowl. The rice was cooked perfectly, vegetables fresh and texture/flavor of the falafel was unique and perfect, it's dense, crusty and full of texture. While the shawarma was great, if I offered them any advice it would be to give a little more seasoning to the chicken and a little more crisp to the wrap however it was great. Fries were crispy and both the garlic sauce and fries sauce were flavorful. I will definitely be back to try the burger, chicken sandwich and a different bowl. read more

I haven't even gotten my food and I love this place. I've been meaning to try it for a while and today found out they are having a fundraiser to support the humanitarian crisis in Palestine. This place is good for the soul. It's full of food and people who want to help and are willing to wait an hour or more for their food in order to support a great cause. Please support this amazing small business. They are putting their money where their hearts are. read more

Went tonight with my daughter. Outstanding! Both the food AND service is a 23/10. We got the chicken platter (the veggies are just...wow), the falafel, and a beef shawarma that I couldn't get a photo of because my daughter crushed in literally under seven minutes! We also got the incredibly tasty pistachio cake. Our order was to go, and even after a 20 minute drive back home, the food was unbelievable. The Vimto reminded me of Faygo Redpop. IYKYK! Do yourself a favor and visit these guys at Basically Halal. Unless your taste buds are dead, you won't regret it! read more

Basically Halal - Chick-n-Fries - Halal Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Cute little place next to a halal market. The signage both in and outside of the restaurant are very photo friendly. Inside there are a number of tables with bench seating. Inside we perused the large menu above the cash register as large cones of chicken and beef spun in front of us. I love that everything was made fresh to order including the delightfully "crisby" fries. The chicken shawarma was fresh and hot but a little dry, and the garlic sauce is a small smear inside the container rather than inside of the sandwich, which in my mind would have been preferable. The other sauce I tried was also quite good. I also got hummus, which was solid but not special. The guys at the front were very friendly but when I ordered the sandwich, fries and a drink failed to mention that for 3.99 more they have a combo that includes that. The fries alone were 3.49 so definitely get the combo as the combo offering didn't stand out to me. There was plenty of food and the vimto soda (strawberry tasting) was a standout. I would definitely come back, but i wasn't blown away. It's definitely worth trying and perhaps had I gotten the NY halal style platters or the loaded fries, (poutines) I would Have enjoyed it more. read more

Love this place for traditional shawarma. Richmond doesn't have a lot of good options in this regard, so this one is a gem. The platters are large and flavorful. The sandwiches could use a little more meat, but other than that no complaints. Staff is friendly, and ordering is quick and easy. read more

Wow! What great food tucked away in a small shopping center off of Arch road. I got the mix plate and my husband chicken plate. The protein was plentiful, sauce as generous, but not overpowering, the vegetables were perfectly made, rice was delicious, and the lettuce was crisp. We made both of our plates combos with fries and a drink. Our plates were so plentiful that I don't even think we needed the fries. The fries are skinny like McDonald's fries and come with their signature sauce which was yummy. They have tables inside to eat in or you can take your food to go. The service was phenomenal and they were very kind. We'll definitely be back! read more

Wow! I think this is my favorite Halal place in the Greater Richmond area. The inside is really clean and new. The staff were also really nice as well.

Small eatery next to the Mediterranean grocery store. The employees are so friendly and accommodating with food requests. The shawarmas were a bit different than I had in other places. This is a grilled tortilla with meat and sauce. I would have preferred some fresh ingredients or more pickled items. Overall an interesting choice for the area with incredibly friendly service. read more

Crazy amount of sauce, otherwise really good. Open late night and quick service. Was a nice change of pace from pizza!

This place has been open for about two months and I decided to give it a try. We ordered the following items and here is how they tasted to us Chicken shawarma wrap -decent portion , chicken was fresh , average seasoning. Falafel fiesta --very dry falafels, fries were thin and ordinary. Baba's burger - beef patty tasted store bought but my husband didn't mind it . Over all their items need a little bit more flavors and freshness . Good customer service , will be back if in the area. read more

Quality fresh made food. All items were great tasting, authentic and surpassed expectations

the best in virginia for halal food. this place is literally unmatched compared to anyone else.

The chicken plate and the steak plate were not very good. Way too much sauce. The pickles were terrible. Not like any good Halal plate I've ever eaten. After delivery fee , tax and tip for two plates $40. Not worth it read more

I would appreciate it if you could put a little more effort into your deliveries. Receiving an order in just an open plastic bag feels a bit shabby. There were no napkins, and only one fork was tossed in. It would be nice if you could secure the bags to prevent tampering as well. read more

Super fresh, fast, and delicious. Would definitely come here again. Had the falafel and it was top notch. Highly recommend.

Decided to come try this place after searching for some good shawarma. Upon entering, the place is a bit small and can easily be crowded. However, I really liked their logo. I thought it was super unique and the colors stood out. I decided to get the chicken shawarma and a drink. I was a little bit disappointed in the shawarma for a couple of reasons - lack of seasoning, not enough meat, not enough garlic spread. The friend that came with me is from palestine and said it wasn't that good either. I was sad about the results considering I've heard people say this is the best out here in richmond. Overall, not amazing but might come back to try the other options they have to offer! read more

After seeing all the posts on social media, I had to make the trip. We ordered the mixed platter, the umami tsunami, falafel and a Vimto. Everything was made to order and we waited less than 15 mins for our food. The inside has a few tables to dine in and there are also tables outside on the walkway that was shaded when we arrived. We took our order to go but I had to take a few pics first. There is a market next door that I had to go in (and picked up a few things!!). We tasted our food in the car and it did not disappoint. All of those flavors marry well together and there was plenty of sauce!!! The umami tsunami was my favorite though (if I had to choose). The falafel was a little dry but the sauce helped!! Definitely need to stop by and try for yourself. Oh, and I wish there was a place that sold Vimto near me!!! read more

Have been here twice so far. Excellent each time. Streak outbreak and mix platter are gold. Thank you

I don't think I've seen a halal spot with modern decor before so that was interesting. Not much seating inside and seemingly no AC, so I think they're expecting mostly to-go orders. Kind of pricey for the cuisine, but given the rarity in the area and considering that the wraps are like double size the usual so I'd say it's ultimately fair. The falafel here is truly good and the wrap dough is interesting. It's like somewhere between a pita and phyllo dough. Only gripe is none of the available sauces are spicy, I like having a red to along with tahini sauce. The halal sauce they have is delicious though, just really wish there was something spicy. read more

Decent service. Just lack of proteins. Flavor is good. I'll try something else next go around maybe the wrap got more proteins. Being the first time there. I would have thought better. read more
