Tonight at Concord Night Market, I ordered a rice platter with lamb. I was blown away by the lamb and the sauce he made for me. Everything was delicious, the salad, the rice, and especially the lamb. Gave a few slices of lamb to my wife and she loves it as well! Thank you for hooking me up with the drink at the end of the night. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for your truck to get another rice platter! Awesome! read more

They came up to Garden of Memory this year. I had the rice platter with lamb, and that was absolutely fantastic. The rice was lightly seasoned biryani, with the native taste coming through, and the lamb, slices not chunks, was both tasty and incredibly tender. Came with salad. This was a great food truck take out meal. read more

I've been following this food truck for years! The Gyros & Rice Plates are sooo delicious! Their homemade Tzatziki is amazing too. It's really flavorful, with a slight hint of zest and sweetness. The greens are a nice touch and always fresh. The owner Abdul is super friendly and really enjoys what he does. He even let me record a couple videos of him prepping my food for this review. Thanks Abdul! The food truck is really nice and his prices are fairly reasonable. I highly recommend trying his food. Trust me you won't be disappointed! read more

The falafel gyro was so burnt it was completely inedible! Unfortunately we took the food to go and didn't notice how burnt it was until we were already home. Waste of $20. read more

Halal Bites Of Chicago - Falafel Gyro - Mediterranean Near Me - Hayward, California

I checked out Halal Bites at Off The Grid in Pleasant Hill. I ordered the Rice plate with chicken. The salad it came with was uninspired with a weird dressing, but edible. The rice and chicken were actually pretty good. Nice flavor and a decent portion. Based on that, I probably would have rated them a solid 3, maybe even 4 stars in a generous mood. Sadly, also ordered the dolmas, though. I love Mediterranean food and know what dolmas should taste like. These were oddly either drizzled with or tossed in an unidentifiable white sauce. Not sure what it was, but it tasted like rancid mayo. It was a warm day, so that might be exactly what it was. What it wasn't was in any way enjoyable. I actually felt a little queasy after eating it. I might have used a napkin and just wiped that off, but the dolma (I only ate one), itself was not actually worth the effort. The filling was both tasteless and dry to the point that it was difficult to even swallow. The overall effect was decidedly unappealing. I was not tempted to eat more of them, even after forking out $8 for it. Icing on the cake? I tried to return the inedible green lumps masquerading as lovely dolmas and the guy in charge just grinned at me and smugly said "no refunds." Not even willing to discuss it. Not even after I explained that it was just bad. I will never see my $8, again, but hopefully you, gentle reader, can save yourself (and your $8) from the same disappointing experience. Next time, I'll just get tacos or something! This truck, I will be avoiding like death, itself. read more

Bad service meat was raw and chewy if i could give it 0 stars i would. Many other options near by

The grilled chicken is very good. Loved the rice as well. The plantains were good also. The dipping sauce was interesting. Can't really say I liked it, but can't say I didn't like it either. The lime cilantro sauce was tasty. Overall A- read more

Had the falafel rice platter, (requested spicy), at the foodiecrew food cart thing Wednesday evenings at veteran's park in Brentwood and it was outstanding! Maybe I'll ask to get it a little more spicy for next time. Enjoyed every part of the meal. Perfect dinner to end a good day! Wish they had a small circular sticker with their logo and a number / contact info or something placed on the containers, had to web search it to save for future reference. read more

Went back today and tried a chicken gyro. So delicious! And very generous. I took a pic but I'd already had a bunch of chicken. read more

This food truck occasionally stops at my university. Is it an off day? Did I order the wrong thing? $12 lamb gyro was really gross. Pita was cold and hard to chew, lamb was like eating mushy strips of textured vegetable protein that had been defrosted but not cooked properly. Very salty and garlicky in a generic seasoning or bouillon sort of way. The only positive was that the veggies which dominated the gyro were fresh and crisp. I definitely do not recommend the lamb gyro. read more

Halal Bites Of Chicago - Lamb gyro - Mediterranean Near Me - Hayward, California

Y'all were delicious at Autumn Lights festival on Saturday, and I appreciated seeing the family all working together. I had "Mixed on Rice" and it hit the spot. The chicken and lamb were both moist, tender, and flavorful. The lamb was a little more stewed than I was expecting, but it tasted good. The iceberg salad was plain but refreshing. The rice was spiced strongly - it tasted good and went great with the food, but once I'd finished the protein and lettuce I couldn't eat the rice by itself - it needed something blander to balance it out. Everything was generous portions -- My main regret was that I didn't get to try your falafel. But that's a good reason to come back, and I look forward to seeing you again. Keep up the good work! read more

Best falafel I've had in years. Moist and they make it flat and grill it so you get lots of browned bits. Amazing!

Great food , friendly staff. I usually order the gyro plate with plenty of white sauce!

What a cool and yummy food truck! The chicken shawarma rice platter just hit the spot during the Autumn Lights Festival in Oakland. Service was super fast! Chicken was flavorful and tender with the white sauce, rice was cooked well, and I mixed the salad in for a complete meal. Belly was full and I was ready to peruse the festival. Can't wait to try more selections in the future. read more

Enjoyed my lamb gyro, had a huge portion for $16. My wife had the chicken and rice which was tasty but I didn't like as much. A few other food and drink options. Service was quick employees nice. Above average for sure but just a food truck. read more

Halal Bites of Chicago is just a food cart. not a food truck. surprised no patrons were in line before, during or after i ordered. after i ate, i knew why. Halal's order window was cluttered, didn't look open. no signs. asked inside. they were open for business,. locale: food truck mafia, s.f. premium outlet(1/12/19) offerings: pics of chicken/lamb plates, gyros on window sans pricing. eats: lamb gryo (12.02 inclueded tax) -huge soft pita wrap filled mostly with crispy chucks of lettuce on top, a few pieces of tasty lamb pieces on the bottom, and some white sauce tasting like mayonnaise mixed with the lamb. take outs: -big disappointment after reading the reviews and trying the food. food overpriced in relation to brick & mortar shops. -web pricing not up to date. neither is location. may only be available in contra costa county or special events, read more

Pros: fast and friendly service Location Cons: I'm not sure if we went on a wrong day but the food wasn't as good as the reviews. Meat was gamy and cold. read more

Working with Halal Bites of Chicago was so great! They sold food at multiple events that I had planned at a local elementary school. We appreciate how smooth they made the process, delicious food and wonderful customer service. I would highly recommend them for an event! read more

Great food and flavors. We tried them recently while at Wente Vineyards... so it was a treat for us! Right amount of flavors, good size of the meat pieces and decent potion sizes for that cost! read more

Worst service. We ordered food at the Dublin fair, and the staff was so rude. I requested for an extra fork and they just blatantly said we don't have any. read more

I saw this food truck one day and I decided to go to it for lunch because I was tired of getting the same food for lunch everyday. I was excited to try this place and have something different for lunch. Halal Bites of Chicago's food truck was just starting to open so I was first in line for the day. The person in the food truck was extremely friendly. I quickly looked at their menu and I knew what I wanted to order right away. I decided to order the falafel gyro. I am a big fan of falafels so I was excited to try theirs. The price of the falafel gyro was expensive. I was shocked at the price because typically falafel gyros are not that expensive and for that reason I am deducting one star. The food was quickly cooked up. After I received my food, I went to a table to eat it. The falafel gyro was decent but not the best I've ever had. The portion of the falafel gyro was a good size. Overall, my experience at Halal Bites of Chicago was pleasant. I am not sure if I will be back often because of the price. However, I still recommend this place to people that are interested in trying it. Enjoy! Simona read more

This place will fill your Gyro cravings! Halal Guys move over because this has you beat! The flavor of the meat is tremendous, with the perfect mix of spices. The pieces of meat are succulent and not over cooked. The rice is so soft, perfect bed for the meat to lay on. The portion size is huge, so you'll have left overs for the next day (unless you're like me, you'll kick it!). (Ordered) -Grilled Chicken over rice w/salad @ $10.00 -Lamb over rice w/salad @ $10.00 -2 Chicken Gyro Tacos @ $3.00 Customer service is exceptional, and food is prepped carefully and served to fast! I highly recommend this place, check them out! read more

Halal Bites of Chicago is so yummy. I've gotten the food from there for years it's always been top quality. The guy who runs the truck is very nice- always good customer service. I really like the lamb over rice plates. I don't think I've had anything else from there but I'm sure it's good. My friends have enjoyed other things on the menu. I recommend! read more

My job is great enough to alternate food trucks every few weeks or so and glad we get to have Halal Bites of Chicago in the rotation. Abdul, his wife and daughter are wholesome people making great food. You don't get into the food truck business (food business in general) if you don't love food, love what you do and love sharing it with others. I missed ordering the first week he came, and the second week I was lucky enough to try the Lamb & Chicken halal + salad + naan on the house, courtesy of Abdul himself! Talk about generosity. I love Mediterranean food. But let me tell you.. I devoured this!! I didn't even eat it until 15 mins after I received it and yes it was still warm but it was also DELICIOUS! I'm a bigger fan of the chicken than the lamb (it had a good spice) but the dressing was the perfect amount to coat the meat and some rice. The flavor was THERE. The meat wasn't dry at all. The portion is a good size, decent to share between 2 but if you're hungry I suggest getting your own. I'm drooling just thinking about this meal again... Always down to support a family business. Great job Halal Bites, hope you get a lot of business! read more

Really bad food. Worst falafel I have ever had. Laziest gyros I have ever laid my hands on. I say lazy because gyros are supposed to be pita bread stuffed or rolled up with fillings. These guys didn't even roll up the gyros. It was just an open faced pita bread topped with some lettuce, ranch (not even tahini) and some lousy, soggy falafel. The falafel was not even real falafel. It was like the veggie patty Subway uses in their veggie delete sandwich. This is purely dishonest business practice. Do they buy their supplies at a gas station or what? Tasted so bad. I just can't get over it. Suckers. I have written maybe 5-7 Yelp reviews in ten year. But I had to login into Yelp for this. Nobody's money should be stolen like this. read more

Food here was overpriced and the pita had a stale odor. Not a good experience at all.

absolute amazing some of the best food you can get. I can't get enough of the gyro and the spicy sauce. they are very patient and very respectful. every single time I've come here the food is always the same quality and the meat they pack is enough to fill anyone up. I'm a big dude and the gyro always leaves me feeling satisfied read more

Fast and friendly! They make a great lamb gyro. Looking forward to trying them all. They had my food out fast even with a line. read more

Great food. Great service. I stopped by this place on my way home from work today. I knew it was there and I heard great reviews from some of my neighbors- so I finally gave it a try. I ordered a beef rice plate for myself, a chicken rice plate for my mother-in-law, and a hamburger for my daughter. The food was delicious! The beef was tender and full of flavor. It also came with a side salad and rice. My daughter gobbled the burger quickly with much delight. Finally, I was surprised that my mother-in-law finished her entire meal - she normally eats like half of what she was served but she liked it so much that she ate the whole thing! Abdul, the owner, was fantastic also! Since it was my first time here, he took the time to explain the menu and even let me try a sample of the beef before I ordered it. I am definitely going back here - probably on Monday when their special is Chicken Tika Masala. 5 stars! read more

This guy needs to be arrested!!! J/K. He's gonna rob business from every where. His food is so good. How can it be that the halal here is better than any other restaurant or stands I've been to. He knows what he's doing! The servings he give you are very generous for the cost. Lots of free parking and great costumer service. Didn't have to wait long for my ready to eat hot order. read more

Halal Bites Of Chicago - Very tasty chicken and lamb halal with HOT SAUCE. $8.00 - Mediterranean Near Me - Hayward, California

If your looking for a symphony of fresh pungent flavor, get your excuse ready to be late for work and forward your bosses call. You just got a new job and its payday. This food truck knows how to get ya. That is if you enjoy Mediterranean cuisine. I have regularly enjoyed the rice plate with chicken and lamb, forgive me as I have yet to grab the name of the dish specifically but you can't go wrong with any choice made from they're menu. The sriracha and yogurt like mix is the catalyst that blends the fragrant basmati and savory meats with the sharp flare of the sriracha heat but before it turns into an inferno the cool, creamy yogurt tames it almost immediately. Ending in a zesty, bold, and thoroughly wholesome delight. Keep kicking ass, I will be back, with an empty stomach, friends, and family. Great staff, food, and atmosphere. Keep this guy in business if you don't like it, contact me I will finish your plate read more

Great local food truck that frequents breweries that don't serve food. Had the chicken rice plate which was perfect and filling. Well seasoned chicken atop rice with a side salad. My friend had the meat combo plate and couldn't finish it because the portions were so generous. We also had the lamb gyro which was superb. Hopefully, we'll run across this gem of a food truck again! read more

Had this delicious chicken gyro at Cottonwood Creek students check-in day; first bite and I was like, wait up...this needs a Yelp review!! I would rate 5 star for the food, cleanliness, presentation. And an extra star for professionalism and friendliness of the staff: had a chance to conversate as I was one of the first customer and no one behind me in line. This is a family owned and operated truck, they're truly nice and courteous people. I definitely well connected with them and for sure, will be having their food next time I see them in my area!! Thank you for the delicious food, the prompt service, and the great conversations I had the pleasure to share!! See you soon :-) read more
