We catered our Easter party through chefs on the run. Both the chicken and gyro (over rice) were fantastic. The garlic sauce was perfectly creamy and the spicy sauce had just enough kick. The food was loved by all and so many people asked where it was from! Will definitely order from here again! Thank you chef! read more

I would give this place 10 stars if I could, not only for the quality and flavor of the food, but also for the kindness and generosity of the people who run this business. We arrived at the food truck late at the Festival of Eid outside of the Asia society, they are wrapping up for the evening and is about to close. When we approached the truck to order, they offered us two meals free of charge if we would like, instead of ordering and paying for two orders. When we offered to pay regardless, they kindly said the best payment is to "spread the generosity and kindness to someone else who are in need". How heartwarming is that! I love to support small businesses, especially a business that is run by people with good heart and kindness. The food itself is amazing. We got the chicken shawarma wrap and the lamb quesadilla, both came with picked vegetables, fries and garlic sauce. The meat is perfectly seasoned, fragrant and juicy, paired with the sides, both combos are satisfying and perfect. Love the food, and love this business with all my heart! read more

Do not use EzCater to order from Chef on the Run. They will not accept your order. We placed a $300 order and they did not accept it. The customer service at EzCater said that they did not have enough people to fill the order. Too bad, because we will not try to order from them again. read more

Chef on the Run Halal is a middle eastern style food truck located near NRG in the Hotel Ylem Parking lot. Owner, Muhammad, hails from Egypt where he told me if worked for decades in various restaurants. Moving to US 5 year ago, he decided to take his experience and passion for good food and open a food truck to bring Houstonians halal friendly delicious meals! My husband and I went there on a Friday night. We did not order ahead so we had to wait about 15-20 minutes for our food. All the food they cook is made to order so you may end up waiting but your meat will be fresh and juicy. Trust me, its worth the wait. But if you're in a rush, I recommend calling ahead of time and placing your order. We ordered the fresh lemonade with mint which was honestly one of the most amazing lemonades that I have ever had. Much more like a slushy, it was blended with ice and there was a LOT of mint. It was super refreshing for the Texas heat. We ordered Chicken Shwarma Fries. These fries are loaded with chicken, cheese, garlic and hot sauces. They are listed as an appetizer but one serving is more than enough of a meal for 2 people. Its HUGE. My only complaint was that the cheese was a bit overcooked (not burnt) on the loaded fries and became hard. But lets be real, cheese is always delicious. We had the chicken quesadilla which was served with a side of pickled vegetables. Be sure to ask for more garlic and hot sauce on the side. The chicken platter which came with 2 giant grilled chicken breasts served over rice with garlic sauce and pickled vegetables which was perfectly grilled and moist. And finally, the highlight of our meal was the mixed grill platter which came with rice, pickled veggies, chicken and lamb. Hands down, the lamb at Chef on the Run Halal is worth every minute of the drive to this food truck! read more

I don't recall ever having to throw food away before, but this was just so awful! I ordered a Chicken Shawarma wrap and fries. The gentlemen taking my order seemed distracted and had to ask me to repeat myself a few times. I showed him the 5% off offer from checking in on yelp and he seemed confused. There were no prices on the side of the truck. I paid what I thought was a little high for a wrap but didn't complain. I selected to have my receipt emailed to me. When I later checked it I was charged for the platter which is more expensive. I noticed in the truck there were two spits (not sure if that is what you call the grills) of meat. One was turned off with meat that was nearly black and looked like it had been burnt, and another going of some better looking meat. I just assumed they would not be serving the burnt meat one... After about 15 minutes (there was no one waiting ahead of us) we got our meal and left. When we got home I took a bite and had to spit it out. It was very hard and burnt. The wrap was cut in half so i thought maybe i just got a bad piece or something. I tried the other half and it was just as bad. I threw the wrap away and went looking for something to take the awful taste out of my mouth. I munched on the fries a little but they were old tasting and soggy. I really wanted to like this place because they had such great reviews but in the end I got over charged for a meal that took a long time to come out and was inedible. I'm hoping maybe it was just an off day for them but I will not be trying them again. read more

When it comes to chicken shawarma I already have my faves in Houston (Fadis, Gyro King, and Shawarma King). However, I'm always up for trying new places and since the truck is nearby, I went and checked it out. Ordered the chicken shawarma plate with a side of baba ganoush. Chicken shawarma plate comes with pickled veggies (carrots, cauliflower and red bell peppers), garlic sauce, and basmati rice. Pickled veggies were on the salty end, but a nice palate cleanser. Garlic sauce was good as well. Now the chicken shawarma was really the highlight! Very different from all the other chicken shawarma places I've had here, but flavor is definitely on point! The basmati rice was also super fragrant and flavorful - I couldn't stop eating . Chicken is also very moist. However, the overall dish is on the greasy side, albeit delicious. Baba Ganoush was not very good, I do not recommend. It was really watery, like they had forgotten to drain the eggplants after roasting, so instead of a thick dip it was more like eggplants in a soup. The flavor wasn't that great either. I would recommend Fadis (Meyerland location) baba ganoush if you are looking for a good one. Also, they gave me complimentary pita bread, but it was dry and stale. I couldn't finish the baba ganoush nor the pita bread. Nevertheless, chicken shawarma is definitely worth getting! read more

When my friend pointed out that Houston seems to have this weird thing with food trucks in sketch gas station parking lots, I joked that it's the sketch places that have the most authentic food. This is what I thought of when I was looking for a quick take-out place that's close by on a weekday night and decided to give this truck a go. I regret not trying this truck sooner. They're so so so so good!! I tried the beef kebob wrap and I'm almost tempted to say that it's the best I've had yet (to be fair I'm no kebob connoisseur). The grilled beef chunks were perfectly tender and flavorful. The grilled vegs were standard. The combo of everything with the tahini sauce and pita bread was just perf!! For $7, I did not expect to get this almost foot-long wrap. I call this a steal! Will def be back! read more

What can I say? It's freaking delicious. I got the beef shawarma and that's what I recommend. I got the plate which came with some veggies and rice and a delicious garlic sauce. I also tried the hubby's chicken shawarma, which was also delish! The hummus was good too, but they didn't provide any bread or naan to go with....boo! And this was weird, they served eggrolls. They were good too, ha! But definitely a very weird option to have on the menu. Anyway, the food is amazing and well priced! Talk about eating a very tasty meal for under $10!

Will come back for more :-) Ps the portions are HUGE! read more

Chef On The Run Halal - So much good food - Food Trucks Near Me - Missouri City, Texas

We got the mixed Shawarma wrap which included chicken and beef. It was very flavorful. We also got the beef shawarma fries which were unique because the fries had tzatziki sauce on top. The shawarma meat here doesn't taste the same as other places. It shreds more and is very flavorful. The guy at the window was very friendly. We called ahead and placed the order so we wouldn't have to wait. read more

Tucked away in the corner of a hotel parking lot, you normally wouldn't think too much about a food truck such as Chef On the Run. Honestly, I drive past it almost everyday for work and I only knew it as one of the signs I read during traffic. But this place is absolutely phenomenal! Like many halal places that are starting to pop up in the area, the flavors that the cuisine brings always satisfies. Also, everything is made fresh and only after ordered, so you know that the food is specially made for you. A buddy of mine and I stopped by while drinking a beer in the lobby of a nearby hotel. Approximately 7 minutes after ordering a beef wrap and fries(so fast!) we had piping hot and delicious food that paired perfectly with a cold refreshing beer. Not only is their food great, the owner is fantastic and so caring. I realized I was missing a card from my wallet and went around to look for it near the truck. The owner went to find me later inside the hotel to check in on the food as well as ask if I had found the card. TLDR: food is fresh and phenomenal. Service and owner are top notch. EAT HERE IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE. read more

The owner is amazing! He ran to our car and gave us the food so our food could start eating .. then when we tried to pay, he said this one is on us. No need to pay! .. and the chicken strips were amazing too! read more

We had their shawarma wraps at a friends party and decided to cater the shawarma rice for a party yesterday and I can't say enough good things. Firstly the food was AMAZING. Everybody was asking where it was from. Second the service was the soo good. The owner was soo kind and professional and helped with setup too. He is sooo generous with portions and gives such a large quantity of food, sauces and salad. We will definitely cater from them again! read more

We've catered from chef on the run 4 times now and we cannot say enough good things about him! His food is always delicious at a very fair price and he's always kind on top of that! Highly highly recommend catering your next event from him! read more

Well y'all, I stopped by this food truck late tonight. I was eager to try some Mediterranean food from here. I've been searching for months, to find Mediterranean that's actually seasoned well. Well, tonight I finally found a place! The man who helped me was very nice. I decided on chicken over rice and substituted the white garlic sauce for the red. WOW, that red sauce was great! It was creamy, had a little kick and was just AMAZING! Anyways, I waited maybe 10-15 minutes for my food, which is not a problem at all. My food came out HOT and fresh. The chicken was cooked well, it was seasoned well, the rice was nice and wasn't overly seasoned or salty. The quality of food was great for less than $10 and the portion was HUGE. I will definitely have about 2-3 meals from this one plate. I will come back and let others know about this hidden gem. read more

Chef On The Run Halal - Chicken over rice with red sauce - Food Trucks Near Me - Missouri City, Texas

I called in this orderbefore getting in. When I got there there was a delay, guessing they were swamped or did not carry out my order until I arrived. So I waited around for 10 min for my chicken and beef combo. Requested plates and utensils, received neither until I went back to ask for them. It certainly smelled good and my mouth watered as I was driving around with the food in my car. It did not disappoint as I dug in, but I still like m&m grill more. Ymmv. Would still try this place again though. read more

Let's get this out of the way first, if you're not ordering ahead then you'll most likely be waiting at least 20 minutes, even if nobody is in line. Just know this ahead of time. We went here for shawarma wraps multiple times over the summer while we were living in Houston and they were delicious. Tried both the lamb and chicken and loved them. It's located in a bit of a sketchy gas station parking lot, but the workers were always nice and the food was excellent. read more

very authentic. Pleasant personality of the owner. Shows that he cares about the quality of the food. Definitely will come back. read more

My wife and I have been coming here for 6 months. Their chicken and beef over fries are the best! They also have wraps with lamb or chicken which we really enjoyed. Very nice owners who give generous portions of food. Highly recommended! read more

Been wanting to check this place out for a while now. Its a Mediterranean - Mex combo. They have Shawarmas & Kebabs and Fajitas & tacos. Finally went by today for lunch. I got the shawarma wrap and my husband got the plate. We were starving and couldn't wait to dig in. Totally worth the wait (10-15 mins) it was delicious. The wrap can get a bit messy so grab all the napkins you get. Its was very flavorful and fresh! The spicy sauce is really spicy so it would be better to get it on the side. The wrap is big and filling. Overall it was great! They're open 7 days a week! And both of them are super kind and friendly! Great customer service. Very happy with this food truck and we're definitely going back! Tip: If youre really hungry and in a rush- they ask you to CALL AHEAD AND ORDER! it helps! Will definitely recommend this place to shawarma lovers :) read more

Listen if you are not strong willed do not eat here, because if you do you WILL become addicted. I ate here for the first time last night and I'm back again today.

I picked up here multiple times for Postmates, though been a while. I did leave wanting to try it, so eating now. I got the beef fries and they are really good. Admittedly, I wish it was much spicier, but great flavor. Not in Houston for more than a few more months (here for school), so had to try them since had a chance, before moving on. read more

Wanna know how awesome this place is? Just sit right back and hear a tale... So I use the Yelp app and make a order for some Lamb Taco's - I'm addicted 2 these btw - and I pay through the Yelp app, They send me a confirmation cool, I get there, and chef in the run didn't get a confirmation of my order or payment. No worries, Did I mention how awesome these people are? They make me my order, & kick me an extra Lamb taco. I think that's cool and all, I get home, Yeah I got 5 lmab tacos, But they are so friggin stuffed so much the taco bottoms out when I tried to lift it. And once again the lamb is perfect, a lot of lamb. Thanks for the great customer service Chef on the run. How awesome is that? read more

It's near the NRG area right across Starbucks or Carl's Jr. To be exact Buffalo Speedway and Main Street. Let me just say their chicken shawarma is huge! It seemed like a foot long and their not shy in stuffing it with meat. Who can say no to that, right? Cost was $6.50. It's worth trying out! I'll be back soon to try their other halal items. read more

Working in Houston I saw this food truck "Chef on the run" and after reading the reviews I decided to go. Men, i tell you what I tried the beef Shawarna plate and that plate should be illegal it was so Good! The hot sauce was amazing the beef perfectly cooked and the rice was so good. The Maestro, (because he cooked one hell of a meal for me), which is the chef was very nice and attentive. The is no other way to describe it but unbelievable! read more

Came in to try their shwarma yesterday and I can definitely say it was worth checking out...I got the one with beef and chicken mixed but next time I will only choose one kind of meet because it was hard to determine which I liked better with them mixed up. Portions were generous and there was a lot of flavor! The customer service is also very good and I will definitely be back to try out more things. Also the food is super fresh! read more

This place was delicious. The food was fresh and so tasty. The ONLY downside is that you must order in advance if you have a short lunch (30 minutes for me), but I still gave 5 stars because the food was so fresh that there was no doubt it was made exactly when I ordered it. It is rare you are able to taste freshness these days, but you can here! I would give an additional star if I could for their generous serving of Turkish coffee, which was equally as amazing as the food. There isn't a place to eat (seating), but after you order they will bring it right to your car, so extra brownie points for service! This seems to be family owned as a very stylish gentleman brought my food to me (no way was he cooking in his outfit), and then proceeded to go to the next car to visit with his adorable baby that had been brought up to see him. I only mentioned this because I am a big supporter of family businesses and love seeing the reality behind these businesses! That amazing meal you are eating not only fills your belly, but the family's too! read more

The food here is substantial. One of my favorite food trucks I've been too in houston. I tried their beef and chicken shawaram, and They both tasted great. I highly recommend this place. Make sure you try their house made hot sauce. Thumbs up read more

This place is located INSIDE the Raceway gas station. The current menu is much more limited than the ones posted here. Unfortunately, I didn't grab the new one. I had a gyro meat over rice platter. It was good but nothing special especially for the price. The owner said they are looking for a new place where they can expand their kitchen/menu. I'll try them again when they do. read more

???? What was the call for this? Okay, my bad for saying door knobs or whatever the hell the chef/ staff was touching. All I remember is the chef touching my food without any gloves, going in and out of the trailer without washing his hands and forgetting my order. I don't know what kind of knob he was handling but he was exiting and entering the trailer while prepping my food. Jesus Christ, I'm sorry "Chef" but your healthy eatery is pathetic and gross. How dare you tell me I'm wrong? You should have never replied back, honey. I spilled the tea and now you're going to slander me for spreading my own personal experience? Girl, BYE! Remember my face because I will be stopping by soon to prove you wrong. read more
