Not the most conventional menu, but overall, the food tastes VERY fresh and has definitely come a long way. The interior has gotten an upgrade, but be warned there are no fountain drinks just a cooler to get 12 oz cans from. I have only tried the Gyro and Chicken Shawarma, which were both great 0 complaints. Service is decent, they used to take over the phone pick up orders but not anymore :( read more

Halal Food Express - Menu/Front Counter - Halal Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Small food establishment, with really good food. It's a little sketchy looking and the inside might need some upgrading and love. It's not fancy at all and better for small parties or take out. When we walked in, some tables were empty and left dirty when the place was empty. Think the lady behind the counter was being lazy. Anyways the plus about this place is the flavor of the food. I had the gyro pizza. It's simple, cheese & gyro meat. It was greasy but tasted really good. We also got the gyro platter that came with gyro meat, yellow rice & a delicious salad, they forgot to add putative bread but regardless, it was really good. Total was around $40 for both meals and 2 sodas. read more

Halal Food Express - Gyro pizza - Halal Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Wonderful food, the Gyro and fries were top notch. Good service and friendly staff. The decor and artwork was top notch.

Delicious food and very generous portions! The esposo and I visited Halal Food Express after a very long day in Universal Studios. We were looking for something quick we could just take to the hotel room, and preferably from a local business. We found Halal Food Express on Yelp and decided to give it a try. There was only one person working at the time, but she was very friendly and gave us some great recommendations. I order their chicken platter (chicken with rice and naan bread). The portion was super generous and the food was delicious! It was exactly what I needed after a long day of walking. Another great thing about Halal Food Express is that they offer 10% off your order when you Check-In on Yelp - yay! read more

Charged an extra fee to eat at restaurant. Rice was dry and overcooked. $60 for 2 meals that other local restaurants charge $30.

SKIP THE PIZZA. It requires a little more effort. The Greek was good. Would have salted the box and eaten that instead of the pizza. read more

Halal Food Express - Chicken Shawarma Sandwich - Halal Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This location has nothing to do with express, good customer service, or good food. The customer demand was high when I arrived to pick up my online order. I waited 30 min on a line to ask for my food status, then another 15 min to get my food. This restaurant's customer service has got to be the worst thing I've ever experienced. Their register, cooking, and food service processes are weak to non-existent. Simply put, the old gentleman manning the front is overwhelmed and acknowledged they were understaffed. After he made that comment, I kindly recommended hiring staff to help support his business. He did not like my suggestion and told me to cancel my order if I couldn't wait. I have sympathy for him because he was overwhelmed at the time, but this is definitely not what you want to hear as a paying customer. Running a business is not for everyone. Running a business and working behind the counter is definitely not for most. I feel awful leaving such a poor feedback, but I hope the owner takes what I'm saying as constructive criticism and changes many things so they can become better situated for success. I would avoid this restaurant until they have a better handle on staffing, customer service, and food quality. read more

3x over priced pathetic food , not supposed to be a pizza place. Just paid $24 for the worst pizza ever. I'm not kidding. Zero stars.

Never before have I spent so much money on so little food that tasted so poorly. Their options are scant. The rice was dry and tasteless. The kabab contained little meat, and the spices they used tasted like salt and pepper mixed with mayonnaise. The service was sub-par. They upcharge for dine-in. They don't offer any water cups for free. This was the worst restaurant experience I've had in a long time. read more

The only negative aspect of this restaurant is the taste. Despite this, the owner is friendly, the food is halal and it is open till 12am. In all honesty this place can improve a lot if they work on the taste of the food items on their menu. We had their Chicken Shawarma and Beef Philly steak. It was hard for us to decide which was worse. We begrudgingly had a third of our sandwiches and slept hungry. Also to add the dessert wasn't any good either, way too sweet and lack of flavour once again. Halal options are already limited in Orlando and I really hope the restaurant chefs take this review to improve the tastefulness. read more

Wonderful personalities in this place. Make you feel at home when you are away. Highly recommend!

Great little spot that we were glad to run into - would reccomend for sure. With so much food around us, it was amazing to avoid a 30 minute or so drive out to other places we debated! Few minutes from where we stayed during out trip in Orlando and coming from Philly, we craved "Halal Guys". We got two chicken platters and an order of wings which saved dinner during our study day - yes, we vacay but still other obligations. Work hard to play and eat harder, friends! *Rarely give 5 stars, so do not be discouraged of the 4. read more

Halal Food Express - two trays of food - Halal Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This is easily the worst halal restaurant I have been to. I ordered 2 Philly Cheese Steaks, 1 chicken shawarma, 1 falafel sandwhich, and 1 beef gyro. The Philly Cheesesteaks do not look like the picture on the wall at all. It was poor quality bread opened up. The cheese and beef was completely separate. I wouldn't even call it real cheese. It was definitely a form of cheese sauce that did not taste good at all. The falafel sandwich was also poorly made. The falafels were burnt, hard, and had the texture of meatball, which it should not. The gyro was also extremely sloppily made. The beef itself was okay, but did not taste fresh. However, there was very little sauce and even worse, absolutely no salad. I literally had half a slice of a small tomato, and that's it. The salad was basically not there, as other pictures have shown. We also got fries but they were cold and tasted like there were a day old. Definitely not freshly made. There was only 1 man working at the time. After getting my food I went back to get 2 sodas for my family. The price of the soda was not listed on the menu, so I gave the man a $50 dollar bill. He handed me the sodas, and that's when I saw that the sodas were an outrageous $2 per can. I asked for a refund and he refused. This is another rule which was not written anywhere which I think is very unfair. The cans were not opened and barely touched. After I went back to my car to eat with my family, the man violently threw my money back at me in the car. I will never be eating at this place again! Also, we asked if he had any hand sanitizer and he said know. He cleans everything including his hands with Clorox. read more

This was a one time try - we came in for a specialty pizza advertised on the window - disappointed to learn that they only have cheese, veggie,pepperoni, chicken and gyro pizza....the advertised pizzas I. The window are not on the menu only pictures.....felt like a bait and switch. Only advertise what you sell - otherwise, you leave customers disappointed. read more

Halal Food Express - Halal Near Me - Orlando, Florida

After a hectic day at universal studios and a shitty wait to get out of the parking lot we luckily stumbled upon this little spot for a quick late night bite to eat. Place was really busy with nowhere to sit but orders came out quickly and we easily had somewhere to sit after 5 minutes or so. Everyone in the party ordered gyros and we added a small pepperoni pizza cause we were famished. Gyros and fries came out hot and delicious. Fries had a nice seasoning salt sprinkled on them. The cheese on the pizza was a bit undercooked for my liking but it still was good. Simply put being really tired and hungry this place delivered a quality meal in a timely fashion. Super glad to have just run into this place and not having to settle for fast food. read more

Small pizza for 30 dollars. Seemed like the pizza was frozen... came here because it was halal and felt cheated for my money. Owner seems to be taking advantage of people that eat halal by setting his ridiculous prices. read more

not a costumer service not clean. This is my last time I came all the way from California to eat food with them. No customer service.

Was passing this restaurant on our way to our hotel on I. Ave. Said to the hubby that we need to try that before we leave Orlando. One night did pass by and ordered food. I ordered a gyro and it was very good. I wished it was a little hotter in temperature. Nevertheless still a good sandwich. The yogurt sauce was equally good. My husband had a platter and he liked it. Will definitely come back the next time we're in town. read more

I forgot to take pics but everything was great!! We had halal pepperoni pizza, a gyro, a hot dog, & fries. Everything was delicious and fresh. I enjoyed every bite and so did my family. They used great quality meat for the gyro which was a plus. Even the fries were great. I'm glad they don't use cheap ingredients. Very friendly staff and the wait wasn't too bad for 1 man doing it all on his own. Thank you for the experience and if we're ever back in that area we will stop by again! read more

I went here on 11/15/21 out of curiosity. Thin crust pizza which is the best (personal opinion), so I'm not eating an excessive amount of bread. I had the gyro pizza, it was excellent. Not many people even offer a gyro pizza so I definitely recommend this if you're in the area and want a non-veggie pizza. read more

Would give a 0/100 if I could. Owner was very rude. I asked for extra sauce on my gyro and he said in a rude way "it's a dollar per sauce what do you want". A dollar for a tiny tiny packet of sauce is unreasonable. The food itself was warmed up pita you can buy at a grocery store with standard gyro meat you can buy at Restaurant Depot. Ridiculous prices + rude owner + mediocre food = I wish I just grabbed a pizza from somewhere. Coming from the halal capital of america, New York, this place would be closed in a month if they acted like this there. They're just lucky people are desperate here for halal food. Do yourself a favor and drive further out for tastier halal food. read more

I picked this restaurant because was close to my hotel the staff was very friendly I decided to get the gyro platter I had the beef gyro when I got back to my hotel I was a little in shock for what they charged it was about$20 plus tip six thin strips of gyro meat and about a pound of rice with a tiny little salad no pita bread or anything definitely I considered it overpriced after seeing it I could have went elsewhere the quality of the food was okay the gyro meat was very crispy it was very thin so it was pretty much burnt to a crisp the rice was is rice none special about it I would not go back read more

There are a lot of tasty options here with significant variety and choice, as they serve a menu that crosses a lot of different cuisines. There wasn't too much seating, as it's a relatively small shop. The food quality was great. Overall a pleasant experience. read more

Found this little late night spot on International Drive. We ordered pizzas and falafel to go. The pizza barely had any sauce on it which is a major deduction for me. The falafel was overdone. I will say that the owner was a very nice guy. Pricing was high for the food we got. $13-$15 for a pizza.. I'm not sure if I'd go back to be honest.

We accidentally stumbled upon this place after going to the souvenir shop next door. We were hungry so we decided to stop in! | f a c i l i t y | The painting on the wall is to die for! Whoever the artist is did an amazing job! It was a painting of Jerusalem and Saudi Arabia. Gorgeous! The restaurant is very clean. Lots of seats available. Very very clean restroom! | s e r v i c e | Roja (or Rosa) was very sweet. We were having conversations with her about the painting on the wall and our backgrounds. It was nice. We always felt comfortable the whole time we were there. On top of that she had our food out quick! | f o o d | The food here is very delicious, but unfortunately it is kind of pricy. :| [ + ] Gyro Pizza - Small ($16.99): Pizza was reeally good! I really liked the cheese and gyro meat they use. It complimented each other very well. Just wish it was cooked a bit longer. The pizza wasn't as hot as I'd like it and I wish the cheese was melted more. [ + ] Chicken Platter ($12.99): Loved the different spices they used in this dish! It wasn't overbearing. It was just enough. It came with a garlic sauce which didn't have much garlic flavor to it at all. It's nothing compared to Zankou Chicken garlic sauce but it was still good nonetheless. read more

The owner double charges you and doesn't even provide you your copy of thereceipt. He even adds tips for him self. I would suggest please avoid this con artist place. This place is nothing but trouble. If you happen to go make sure the old man is not working as he is a NOT a honest man. Plus the food is so so. if you don't believe me just notice he never gives you your copy of your receipt/ order. the owner knows most of his customer are tourist and will never return which makes it easy for him to con them read more

This restaurant doesn't serve the food the way it's advertised. They should work on their food quality and taste. Totally rip off. Ordered Pizza for kids they took a bite and said doesn't want it anymore,(my kids are pizza lovers) when I took a bite I wanted to spit it out don't know what type of cheese they used. Ordered Shawarma for myself and hubby it didn't have any taste just the chicken with some sauce. So plain and tasteless. read more

So I have been living in Orlando for 10 years and by far this is the best family restaurant for pizza , gyros and wings along with rotisserie chicken . The taste is amazing specially the fresh ingredients. Super hard to find any halal pepperoni pizza in town but Halal food express got it . Family atmosphere, it's one of those last stand pap&Mom restaurants . Try their halal wings and Halal supreme pizza . All of this for very reasonable prices that makes your vacation more affordable or if you are local enjoy a healthy , tasty , priced well halal food . read more

Holy sweet mother of LOVE. This place, this food, the owner, the vibe... it's all TO DIE FOR. I might quite literally fly from Seattle to Orlando weekly for their gyro plate, rice and their garlic sauce. GO Here. It's beyond delicious. 10 star review in my book. read more

What great service!! First, the food was fresh and awesome!! I had a gyro and it was the best gyro I have found in Orlando. The customer service was 5 star all day, just like the food. The owner made sure to talk with all his guests and spent time talking to me. He even educated me on questions I had. He even gave me a complimentary dessert and drinks. This visit changed my life. I am so glad that this place is close to my job and I have a new favorite close by. I will definitely be coming back. I highly recommend this place to get really great, solid service. read more

Owner was really friendly. Got a small pizza with gyro meat and bell peppers. Total came to about ~$14. Kinda pricey. Pizza was good, but we felt skimped out on the toppings, especially the meat. They had several ingredients for toppings, but no mushrooms. Boo. We ordered regular crust too, but think we got a thin crust instead. read more

The food was ok. I mean I ordered a supreme pizza and I had to pay almost 20$ for a small size. In reality it look like medium but the fact that it's HALAL and I am a tourist so I had no choice but To ordered it. Funny thing is that supreme pizza only come with one meat. Idk where did that owner got that from but it is what it is. We ordered shawarma as well and it was ok! I don't usually write review but I had to force myself to write this. It's a compete rip off read more
