Great food and people! One of my coworkers had a minor complaint and CnR guys went above and beyond to make sure the situation was corrected. Absolutely great food, amazing sauces and solid stand up citizens. Thank you, CnR guys! read more

Saw this place the other day walking the Freedom Trail. Came back to try it and it was decently good. It is a fast-casual spot. You can order on a tablet or at the counter. Portion size for a regular size order is decent, and the food is served fast. Not my favorite chicken ever, but not bad either. They have several hot sauces available. Beware, the extra hot lives up to its name! read more

Had the combo platter. I think it could use a bit more flavor and better proportion when it comes to meat and salad. Otherwise, I appreciate that they have sauces available to sauce up your platter to your liking. read more

My go to lunch spot. Cheap, tasty. Its a great spot to grab a cheap, relatively healthy bite!

Chicken & Rice Guys - 280 Washington St, Boston, MA 02108 If you're looking for a filling, affordable, and convenient meal in downtown Boston, Chicken & Rice Guys is a solid go-to spot. Their menu keeps it simple yet satisfying, offering halal chicken , gyro , and tofu , all served over rice or salad with your choice of sauce. Their chicken bowl ($12.23) was well-seasoned and juicy. The gyro ($10.70) was flavorful, tender, and had that classic beef-lamb blend that pairs perfectly with their creamy garlic sauce (my favorite!). Be warned: the hot sauce packs serious heat, so use it sparingly unless you love a fiery kick. Also, if you are vegetarian they offer tofu. One of the highlights is their variety of sauces--from creamy garlic to white sauce and hot sauce, they let you customize your bowl exactly how you like it. And don't skip the baklava , which adds a sweet and nutty finish to your meal. This is truly a takeout-focused spot--the food is great, the prices are reasonable, and the service is quick . However, ambiance-wise, it's pretty minimal (2/10) , so it's not a place to linger. But for affordability (9/10) , and portion size, it's a full meal that won't leave you hungry. Food-wise, I'd rate it a 7/10 --tasty, reliable, and hits the spot when you need something quick and satisfying! read more

Nothing fancy. This place is tasty, quick, and the best value I've seen in years in any state! Extra star for the large portions and the fact that you can basically have as much or as little of the sauces since it's serve yourself. They pack the small size container and no way I could ever finish the larger size. Check this place out instead of the average fast food you get a hearty, tasty and pretty healthy meal for under $10! read more

My list of gotos is expanding! Found the perfect spot..(in-between subway spots..lol) and within walking distance to my current location. Anytime I can get an abundant Lamb and Chicken combo, it's a win-win. I've come here twice consecutively and have been blown away by the customer service, attention to detail, and their tasty offerings of chicken and lamb with cukes and tomatoes, which is my favorite. Add the mint/cilantro/jalapeño, some hot sauce, and the white sauce, and I'm extremely content. Don't forget the lemonade. I urge everyone to indulge no less than twice a week for the good food, ambiance, and excellent customer service. read more

We stopped by Chicken and Rice Guys last night and it was great! We had just finished a pretty intense all day tour of the city and we were absolutely starving. We had seen Chicken and Rice guys on some "Top Cheap Eats" list and it was close by, so we decided to check it out. While it's true that the food at Chicken and Rice Guys is not prepared fresh to order (the chicken and rice were definitely reheated), the flavors they delivered were undeniably excellent. I opted for the Halal chicken with a base of rice and salad, along with a side of hummus and the combination was stellar. And what truly elevated the meal were the sauces. The spicy sauce had a nice level of kick, the creamy garlic was rich and flavorful and the cilantro mint sauce added a refreshing herbaceous note. The interplay between all the flavors and sauces was quite enjoyable. One aspect that shouldn't be overlooked is the incredible value Chicken and Rice Guys offers. Considering the generous portions and the quality of the food, the fact that my gigantic meal only cost me $10 and change felt like a steal. In a city where dining out can often leave a big dent in your wallet, finding such an affordable gem was a pleasant surprise. Five of us dropped $70 or so for 5 meals and baklavas. Really good! Overall, Chicken and Rice Guys proved to be a great spot. If you're in search of a budget friendly yet tasty dining experience in downtown Boston, I wholeheartedly recommend giving Chicken and Rice Guys a try. Five stars. read more

We stopped in for a quick bite while walking on the Freedom Trail vacationing in downtown Boston. The idea was to get a quick bite so we could move on and eat a couple hours later and this was the perfect spot for that. They offer large and small portions which was great. The food was very tasty and just the right amount. The price isn't bad as well, it's about $14 for the small portion which filled me up. I ordered the small Chicken and Rice Plate. We literally got our food within a few minutes from ordering. Nice to get in & out quickly. Seating inside was adequate. Because this is located in the heart of downtown Boston, there is no parking so you get here on foot. Good place to check out when in the area. read more

My boss recommended Chicken & Rice since the truck was a staple in the courtyard that was located downstairs of our building in the Financial District. I'm a huge chicken lover so I will never turn down a good chicken and rice bowl. Unfortunately, they ran out of lettuce during the lunch rush but the plate was still pretty satisfying/cheap. I ordered the small which was actually the perfect amount for me. Loved the garlic and mint cilantro sauces! I would definitely go to the brick and mortar next time I'm in town and get a combo plate to try the other meats. read more

My friends and I had plans to go out at a nearby club so we wanted to get a quick bite before all the booze. We came here at 7:15 pm just before they closed their doors at 8 pm. Ordering was easily accomplished at their kiosk making it great for a grab-n-go style. Drink options are either soda or water. Since I wasn't too hungry, my friend and I shared their regular combo which consisted of the beef, lamb, and chicken over a bed of rice and lettuce with 3 triangles of soft and warm pita plus a side of hummus. My favorite aspect was the variety of sauces you can choose without any limitations. I tried their Extra Creamy Garlic Sauce Cup and herb sauce which accentuated the dish nicely. Proteins were seasoned and cooked great. Overall, good experience and would like to try more of what they have to offer. Staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely an easy place to pass time or take to go. read more

This is my go-to spot for great chicken over rice. The prices are fantastic, probably the cheapest in the city. The quality is much higher than most comparable spots. I order food from here at least once a week. And will continue to do so. Check it out if you haven't yet. read more

I mean damn boiiiii.. the chicken and rice was perfect. The chicken was not rubbery, the rice was well seasoned, the veggies were amazing... need I say more? The white sauce is delightful... and the hot sauce is a MUST. please for the love of hot sauce get 2-4 stripes of it! read more

Can't go wrong coming here for any meal! It's my regular guilty pleasure takeout spot, and I never regret it. This post was made in connection with a Toast promotion. read more

If you're looking for a quick bite to eat this is the place to go. Great value and portion for a "low" price for the area. They have a good amount of seating and are all self service for the sauces. They are fairly heavy handed with the rice and meats. The workers there are very friendly and I haven't had a negative experience here. Their garlic sauce isn't as great as the Halal Guys, but I would highly recommend the cilantro green sauce. Just note that they really cater to office worker hours and close at 8 pm. read more

Chicken & Rice Guys - Combo Platter - Halal Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Mediocre Meal with a Side of Plastic. I ordered a large with chicken and tofu. Chicken is exclusively thigh meat, evidently to save the company money. Tofu was cubed and appeared seasoned but there was no flavor. Rice was promisingly yellow, implying some curry flavor but it was bland. Everything served in plastic. You also pour the sauces into mini plastic containers. Hard to to imagine a less eco-friendly situation. Well I'm glad to have tried it and checked it off the list! read more

Came here famished after a long plane ride and this place really hit the spot. If you are craving some halal food, this is the place to go when you're in the Boston Proper area. Beware I have passed by this place during lunch time and it is PACKED with a line that goes out the door. We came here at like 3pm so it was pretty empty. I ordered a small combo meal with half salad, half rice and it came with gyro, chicken, and pita bread. I love that they have a bunch of sauces on the side that you can pick and choose from and add however much or little you want. There was a cilantro mint sauce, BBQ, creamy garlic, mild, and hot sauce. Just a heads up the hot sauce is actually really spicy. If you would like more flavor and less burn, go with the mild. The other sauces were all very delicious. Service was great, food was delicious, highly recommend! read more

The best lunch around government center in my opinion. The regular chicken and rice plate is a really hearty size, not too heavy, cheap and soooo tasty. I always use the garlic white sauce and medium hot sauce. The white sauce is absolutely incredible. It's rich and garlicky but not overwhelming. Mixed with the hot sauce it's like a perfect creamy spicy bite. The lettuce makes it feel healthy too! At least to me... I have gotten the lamb/beef too, it's very good and sometimes I get the combo, but it's a little heavier. It's also like a shaved ground mix, unlike the big chunks of chicken you usually get. The service is incredibly fast too! I get chicken and rice every Tuesday for lunch and for $11 I don't see that changing any time soon. read more

Ordered from Chicken and rice guys catering menu for a work event and everyone devoured their meal.

I can't wait to order from here again! read more

The portions you get here are pretty good for the pricing, but the food was very plain. There's neither much flavor in the rice nor the meat. I don't think I could've finished the plate without the white sauce, which I ended up mixing in like 3-4 cups. read more

While in Boston I was craving kabob/gyro platters similar to halal guys. Luckily we found Chicken and Rice Guys! Going in I was not sure what to expect, but the place had high reviews. I ended up getting the regular combo which looked like nothing special. However, the sauce they had available made all the difference. I love my sauces so I was really excited! I used the creamy garlic, bbq and the mint, cilantro & jalapeno sauce. The sauces with the meat was a fantastic combo! Overall, this place the biggest stand out were the sauces. The meat and rice didn't feel that special. That being said as long as you like their sauces choosing any protein will give you a great experience. read more

Needed a quick lunch and these guys made it happen. Online ordering was easy and the time given was accurate. I got the reg combo of the chicken and lamb. While they were chopped small they were well seasoned and super tender and juicy. Lettuce and rice were eh ok. Stars were the cilantro cream, it was my fave, tried the medium hot sauce, and was good but hotter than my liking. and the white sauce was basically thinned sour cream, which mixed with a bit of the hot sauce was perfect. the pita was tiny small 3 pieces but really not needed - I could not finish my lunch! Price on point for the city. I will be back! read more

Was starving and decided to stop by for a late lunch. This plate HIT. THE. SPOT. I got the combo plate with halal chicken and gyro, which I highly recommend! It comes with rice, a couple slips of pita bread, and lettuce. On the side they also have a TON of sauces, which were all really fun to play around with, ranging from creamy garlic sauce to bbq to spicy sauce to mint cilantro. I also got the hummus on the side, which was really good addition! Good amount of seating inside. read more

Having a bad day? - go to CNR Bored at class?- go to CNR Bored of pizza?- Damn right go to CNR!! Everytime I eat here, I get a mouthgasm. I love love CNR and am thankful they were close to my campus. Tuesdays and Thursdays, I used to search for their food truck longingly to taste their trademark chicken gyro plate. Tofu rice plate tastes amazing too. Reasonably priced with awesome flavors that work magic in your mouth. Too bad I hogged all the food before taking photos. read more

I ordered from here through the Too Good To Go app. Overall, the bowl was pretty good. The chicken tasted like it was good quality and the gyro meat was yummy. I wish there were more pita strips on there - if they toasted them like they do at Cava, that would have been better. There was a lot of rice and the lettuce was just okay. I wish they included some more toppings in there, but the sauces added some pretty good flavor. read more

Had a small halal chicken at their Harvard square food truck. Note that this food truck is only at Harvard occasionally, probably less often than not, and I'm not sure the patterns. Food was pretty good, though nothing spectacular. Obviously not very fresh but kept nice and warm. The hot sauce is quite hot, and both it and the garlic sauce are really good. Kinda pricey for what it is ($8 for a small lunch box is a worse price point than many options in Harvard square). Still a good choice if you're in the area and in a rush. read more

I spent a year in New York so I was a little weary about checking out C&R because my standards were high for getting a good plate. C&R met all those expectations and more! Stopped by here on a Saturday around noon and the place was pretty empty, although we were worried it would be crowded. We were having some issues paying and I first off want to shout out the cashier Dinah. She was so kind and accommodating not only to us, but to everyone around her. The entire time we were there she was restocking everything and malign sure everything looked good while chatting with customers. Good customer service goes a long way and I really want to shout her out. At her advice we got large combo plates (one with rice, one a salad). I slathered mine in the white sauce which was a perfect idea. It comes with a ton of meat and rice, but I love me some condiments. I also added hot sauce and wow that stuff is powerful. What I love about C&R is that the sauces are left for you to put on/put on side so you can put as much or as little as you want. Now the value, for $8.50 you can get a huge plate of filling food which is a bargain for downtown crossing. Everything was hot, the rice was plentiful, and it came with four pieces of pita. C&R is definitely going to be my new Downtown lunch spot. With a limited menu and quick service is is the perfect place to grab a quick lunch. read more

Chicken (or lamb) and rice (or a salad). Easy and quick, since everything is pretty much already prepared. They just have to box it up for you and it's good to go. I got a chicken and rice (seems obvious) and added a bit of the white sauce, a bit of the barbecue sauce and a very little bit of the hot sauce. It transported well and was still warm when I got it home to eat. I'd get an easy dinner from them again. read more

Its more than just Chicken, and Rice, and Guys (lol), but is a great reasonably priced, higher quality, fast, and semi healthy option when on the go! The customer service is great and very knowledgable of their food product, and always so helpful. My order: - Extra chicken on salad, and top it with the white garlic sauce and bbq sauce (~$10). I would get around 5 ounces of chicken in this dish, FYI. their tofu is superb, and I usually ask for a few pieces as well! - side pita is very soft and delicious to dunk in their sauces, as well! I know its not the point of the restaurant, but I do wish they had more veggies to add to the meal beyond just shredded lettuce... read more

It doesn't get simpler than chicken and rice! They're located in the downtown area right next to Luke's Lobster. They're cheaper, easy, and fast. The restaurant is relatively small and they only have small two people tables. They can probably seat around 20 or so people. There's one small unisex bathroom. For $6.50 (small) or $8.50 (large) you pick from either rice or salad as your base and you get your pick of protein from the options of chicken, gyro, tofu, or a combination of chicken and gyro. I always go for the gyro and chicken combo. The food is already premade so it comes out quickly. They also have Pita chips as a side and baklava as a dessert option. What really makes the food amazing here are their incredible sauces! They have hot sauce (regular and extra hot), barbecue, mint cilantro, and creamy garlic sauce. My favorites are the creamy garlic and the extra hot sauce which is super spicy. Come here if you want quick, easy, and cheap food! read more

Walking past downtown area to the station and I felt a little hungry. I was actually going to McDonald's but the place was under construction. After a block of walking I found this place. I've always just been passing by it but this time I actually stopped by and got some food. It was a quiet night so it's not too busy. There was no line so it was good and fast. Soon enough I got my food. The got the gyro plate. Not super fancy but it tasted really good for me. read more

Pretty good chicken and rice in Boston compared to the ones found in NY. The meat and rice were well seasoned. It also comes with a couple of pieces of pita and some salad.

Incredible! Absolutely love love love this place! They offer halal chicken so that was an added bonus! I got the salad bowl with halal shawarma chicken. Portion size is great and it comes with pita. The salad is a great mix! Though the best thing has got to be the Sauces! Coriander, creamy garlic, hot sauce (mild,medium,hot to your preference) and of course hummus (additional $1.50) so so soooo good! Also, the price is great! A regular size is $8.50 which is great for the portion of goodness you get. read more
