    Lamb and Rice Platter with a cockroach.

    I saw photos of their dish online, however I didn't see any dishes with what this thing is. Its antennas are very present. Poor hygiene along with customer service. They started yelling at me through the phone and in person too.

    Went over to grab a platter for lunch. Unfortunately chicken was still on the grill, so had to come back 15 minutes later. Upon return, it was quick turnaround to walk out with my platter. The store appeared much cleaner than before. The platter was super tasty. Love the flavorful chicken they serve. The white sauce is really complementary to the rice and chicken.

    Thank goodness for late night Halal restaurants. Gyro King is conveniently open until 3AM! They have a parking lot in the back of the building, so don't drive too quickly because it's easy to miss the driveway. I came a little after 9pm on a Sunday. There was a constant influx of people coming in for pick-ups. Despite how busy it was, I was able to get my food very quickly. Customer service isn't the friendliest here. They're not very interactive and just want you to order and go. I ordered a chicken platter ($9). It comes with rice and salad. For the salad, you can choose your toppings (lettuce, tomatoes, onion, cucumber, chickpeas, peppers, etc.). And of course, you can't forget the sauces. I always always always go for white sauce and hot sauce. You get a generous portion of food for the price and it's easily enough for two meals. The chicken and rice were good quality. Seasoned and delicious, but also on the saltier side. Was it the best platter I've ever had? No. You ever had a meal that was just missing IT? That IT factor. Yeah. For the price and the amount of food you get, it's still worth getting a meal here. Very budget friendly and convenient.

    A year later and still aspiring for 4 stars! Ordered pickup via UberEats. Food was ready in a timely manner and prepared as requested. "Lamb", chicken, and rice were all dry and not as flavorful as I remember them being. Portion was still decent, although I noticed less salad, and probably a slightly smaller portion overall. Service by the gentlemen behind the counter was brusque, as usual. Still probably the best Halal platters in the area.

    I got takeout for lunch from Gyro King and was impressed by the generous portion size and reasonable prices. The chicken and lamb platter was a standout - succulent and flavorful. One platter is enough food for two people. I couldn't finish it for lunch and ate the rest for dinner.

    Paid for 3 meals to eat one :-)

    I wish I could give this place negative stars...I could see why nobody was sitting inside. This place has provided me with the WORST customer service I have ever experience IN MY LIFE! The type of service that makes you walk in hungry & leave with a completely soiled appetite. I truly feel bad for even leaving a review like this, but this type of treatment cannot go on. I asked for sauce on the side MULTIPLE TIMES, and when I saw the lake he dumped onto my food I stopped him & said, "I asked for sauce on the side." To which he argued with me about the way I ORDER MY OWN FOOD? Instead of arguing with the customer, perhaps he should have taken accountability for mishearing or forgetting the order? Instead, he forced me to pay for a new order & now I'm going home with 2 meals I won't be eating. I would never have argued with someone over something like that...I know how I ordered the food I would eat vs. NOT eat. Fast forward 2 weeks. My boyfriend found a WORM inside his food!!!!!! I can't emphasize enough how DISGUSTING this place is.

    Chicken platter

    Just came across this local gem! There's a wide array of options at a reasonable price (lamb, chicken tikka, falafel..etc). I would also add that you get a generous amount. I ordered the chicken platter and it was amazing! It was $9 and 100% worth it. Side note: There is also parking in the back! Definitely coming back soon!

    Chicken and lamb platter
    Virginia T.

    Ok so DID NOT know this place existed in my town. DID NOT know they were so close! DID NOT know how yummy they are. DID NOT know how delicious they are. DID NOT know how reasonably priced they are. DID NOT know how popular they are until very recently. DID NOT know how awesome this place is! Super Friendly service, great menu, great pricing and tasty dishes! You can see how they prepare your meals as you wait for your take out (unless you call ahead). We tried a chicken and gyro platter, gyro and chicken tenders on our first try. They were all hands down DELISH!!! Nothing is greasy nor fatty which is a huge plus! On our second visit we called ahead and ordered for a group of us at home. We ordered three of the same fabulous filling and tasty platters, falafel and chicken tenders again. Oh and their hot sauce is hot sauce indeed so beware! Everything was amazing!! Our guests were delighted and surprised by how delicious the food was. If you can't tell by now, I am super excited to have this lil gem in our town! I am Obsessed! Good luck Gyro King. Keep doing what you are doing! Nothing seems to last in that space but I think we have a winner-Finally!

    Chicken tikka and lamb chicken mix
    Christine G.

    Food was tasty and not overly salty. Lamb and chicken tikka were a hit. Ask for the white sauce and hot sauce on the side because they tend to drench it when you don't request it. Got a sweetness from the chicken in the rice platter so chicken tikka is the way to go. Love the added ingredients in the salad. Not your generic ice berg. There were fresh peppers, cucumbers, corn and olives. Happily adding them to our weekly rotation!

    Never disappoints! When I need some halal late at night, I will always order from here. Chicken rice platter is delicious and they offer a generous portion. They also provide sauces on the side if you ask. They offer an area to dine in and seems clean. They are open until 3 AM so they are open for a late meal! Highly recommend!

    Susan J.

    I ordered the chicken gyro with no onions. Unfortunately they added green peppers and a ridiculous amount of tzatziki sauce. Make sure you custom order your sandwich. I called to complain the man apologized but did nothing else My sandwich in the garbage and I am a very unhappy customer

    Yucky falafel that was not edible and thrown away.

    I'll forever be thanking the social algorithm that brought a reel about this homely spot to my…read morefeed. This place offers up fantastic Mediterranean fare and is run by some of the nicest people around. When they saw my husband eyeing a platter of an interesting dessert, they offered us both small spoonfuls to sample (I don't remember what it was called, but it was coconutty and delicious). I adored the falafel platter, which was a behemoth serving of 6 falafels, freshly made hummus, tabbouleh, and pita. The falafels were freshly fried and had a lovely sprinkle of sesame seeds. Coupled with a smooth smear of homemade hummus, my eyes were fluttering shut as I ate. My husband's side of the table went similarly silent as he dug voraciously into his mixed shawarma sandwich. He especially appreciated how they toasted the wrapper, which was more like a lavash than a pita. Before we left, we got a baba ghanoush to go. Our jaws dropped when we saw the serving size. We're so used to getting tiny containers from other spots that this giant aluminum platter of eggplant spread - complete with a little pool of fresh olive oil drizzle and stack of warmed pita - had us stilled with shock. We appreciated the sides and variety of sauces that came with our meal. The small cups of mayo, tzatziki, and spicy sauce, along with olives, pepperocinis, and pickled radishes, really helped complete our meal. These small and thoughtful touches made this meal feel more like eating in someone's home kitchen rather than a restaurant. On that note - know that everything is made from scratch and to order, which means the food will take a little longer than you might expect from a fast casual spot. This sweet gem is located on a random street in Hackensack, and a bit hard to find if you're not looking for it because there isn't much to draw attention to it. There's a small parking lot right in front of the restaurant, making it easy to drop in for a quick meal or to-go order.

The food is a tasty tapestry of fresh ingredients, traditional cooking techniques, and bold spices. Its specialties are as diverse and distinctive as the cultures of the 18 countries it comprises. Located off of Route 46 West in Elmwood Park, King Falafel is where I decided on takeout after a 5-year hiatus. Upon arrival at a laid-back, clean, and casual vibe before the lunch crowd, I placed an order of falafel and Greek salad with the friendly chef/owner, Sami, and exchanged a few words. Their menu offers a wide range with options for vegans, vegetarians, and gluten-free. The falafel was crispy, not dry, well-seasoned, and served hot with sides of tahini and spicy sauce. The portions were huge and very tasty. The Greek salad was made to order without onions and green peppers. It was large enough for a second meal. The quality and care the kitchen puts into each dish truly set them apart, and it's authentic. The service was quick and accommodating. The price was reasonable, and one is getting every penny's worth, which I can continue to recommend.

As for the sandwich, I thought it only tasted okay. I was very hungry at that point so if I thought my sandwich was okay then I know I'm not a fan of it. The flavoring was bland, I asked for spicy sauce but didn't taste any. I also asked for the fried eggplants to find out as I'm biting into it that there was none. Make sure you watch them when asking for your choosing. They might now hear you and you'll just end up feeling disappointed like me because I love the taste of eggplants. Regarding the falafel ball, I thought it was too doughy. I usually like them a little more loose and garlicy.
