Amazing experience! The chicken tikka kebab was absolutely delicious--one of the best I've ever had. The restaurant was very clean, and the atmosphere was great. Ali and the staff were very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. We called ahead, and everything was ready when we arrived. Excellent food and service. Highly recommend!

I've been here 3 times now and the food is always top notch. Everything is fresh and very delicious. No matter if you are getting chicken or beef kabobs, lamb over rice, eggplant, or even fries. Everything is always very good. Customer service is also amazing. I spoke with the owner tonight as they were out of eggplant and he made sure I was happy with a choice of substitution. He also gave me some of the babaghanoush to try since I love the eggplant dish. Everything is well seasoned and delicious. It's also a cute place inside. They've decorated nicely. I highly recommend you try this gem.

How have I never been here, before?! WOW! I ordered the chicken wrap and it might just be the BEST wrap I have ever had. Ultra thin lavash bread, loaded with tender juicy chicken, pickles, spicy peppers, and so much flavor. My husband got the plate and it looked amazing as well. We will be back soon!

I came here after a Sunday noon swim workout craving middle eastern food. The place is located in a small strip mall across from Folsom town hall. When I heard they are an Afghani restaurant I was excited because I love the flavor and seasoning of Afghani food. I got the Combo Kabob with lamb and chicken. They were perfectly prepared and tender and complimented well with the fresh salad, humus and side sauces. I also loved the baklava which was small sized but very moist and satisfying. The server was very friendly and explained they are constructing an oven to prepare their bread in the future. I will return soon!

This has become one of my lunchtime go-tos. Really excellent fresh tasting food made with care. I love their wraps with grilled meat or falafel and their tasty sauces which you can get in mild, medium or spicy. Wraps are made with thin lavash flatbread, which is hard to find around here. The lavash tastes fresh and the wrap is given a nice grilling before it is served. Their Afghani wrap has french fries in it too, which is a great complement to the meat, sauce and veggies.

I serendipitously came across this restaurant by chance. I ordered the combo kabob dinner and it was so delicious!! Definitely a 5 star food offering. The humus was fresh, the rice and salad was perfect. The lamb was super tender and the chicken was juicy. It's my understanding that the restaurant has only been open for a year and was previously a food truck. Service was also great. Regarding, the ambiance, the restaurant is going through some remodeling and I'm looking forward to seeing the result of this transition. Thank you.

Hummus, lamb kabob, grilled chicken, salad and rice

I got the combo dish to go and ended up being too hungry so decided to eat it there! The grilled chicken was really good and the lamb kabob as well. I asked for the garlic sauce which was to die for and the hot house they make In house is also delish. Everything is fresh and the hummus that comes with the plate is good as well. I didn't care for the bread but overall everything else was really good.

Excellent food and service especially if you are craving authentic food. A must stop when in Folsom!

I get gas at the station just across the street where this spot is. After reading Yelp reviews we were not walking, but running there! It was a quiet week day evening; we were quickly helped. Owner did let us know it would be about 15-20 minutes because of the kabob and everything is made to order. We definitely don't mind time for quality! When he brought out the plate, I swear we might've both drooled a bit just from the aroma. The flavors of the meat, rice, hummus, fresh salad + light olive/vinegar oil dressing was just such a lovely taste bud experience! We also tried a few different kinds of baklavas + Turkish Delights to top it all off. This place will be frequented by us!

This is now one of my new favorite spots! The customer service was amazing. He was so friendly, and very helpful as it was our first time there. The restaurant was clean and pleasant. Portions were generous, and my chicken kebob had a nice char taste but still very juicy. The garlic sauce and hummus were very tasty. My only complaint was wanting more pita bread, lol! Overall a solid GEM in Folsom and I can't wait to recommend this spot to my friends and family. Can't wait to come again :) read more

Had the lamb wrap... holy sh*t this place is bomb. I just came to try a bite of my boyfriends because I had eaten shortly before... came back 3 hours later to get my own. SO flavorful. So tasty. I came here before when it was a different restaurant and it was good, but this place is better. They did a bunch of upgrades and it looks fantastic!! And the people here are so sweet and helpful and ugh. I hope everyone in Folsom sees this and gives this place a chance. read more

Randomly found this spot and so glad we did! Food was amazing and everything was made fresh. The hummus was smooth and garlicky. The mix combo plate was delicious with great tasting lamb and well seasoned chicken. The garlic sauce was awesome and we wish we had more of it. And the Afghani wrap was stuffed with fries, lamb, and pickled vegetables, so good! Great place and will definitely be a place we frequent from now on! read more

We love the lamb wrap with the delicate bread, lamb that is so tender and the most delicious veggies & sauce. The lamb kabob is another favorite. The hummus, tatziki & garlic sauces are soooo good. The rice has a warm spice that easily classifies it as comfort food. They are remodeling & updating the space each time we visit & the food is great! So nice to have something different in Folsom! read more

We were greeted with friendly customer service. This was the best Halal we have ever had. Ordered the chicken kabob plate, with a side of eggplant. Quality cuts of meat chicken was seasoned properly and not over or undercooked. It was a reasonable price for a large portion. The eggplant was also amazing! Taziki sauce was full of flavor. And we enjoyed the bread and hummus as well. Thank you and we shall return! read more

All of the 5 Star Reviews are here for a reason!!!. The Lamb wrap is beyond good!. This is the best of that type of food in the whole area. It is right across the street from City Hall in Folsom, so it is easy to find. You really cannot go wrong if you have a hankering for donor kebab or similar type of food. The wrap is crunchy and the tzatziki sauce is great. It looks like they do a huge takeout business. You really cannot go wrong with this place. Support excellent food! Patronize it. read more

So delicious! Loved the food so much here, the afghan wrap was the best i've had, both chicken and beef are delicious. the plate was also really good, hummus was fresh, rice was yummy, and chicken was cooked to perfection, and lamb had no bad smell like some restaurants do. Service was also bit slow (came with 9 people so had large order) but still the owner was nice and service was very good, he came and asked multiple times if he could get us anything. Store is tucked away from central folsom, near the library. I'm very confident it would be a very popular spot if more people knew about this place! read more

This restaurant had great Google reviews and the Few Yelp reviews were also wonderful even though there were not a lot. We decided to give it a shot because it looked so good. We made the right decision. We were greeted and when we placed our order informed it would take a little bit to grill our items, which we did not mind. Every bite was delicious. The rice by itself was even flavored perfectly. I'm very glad I got the combo because while the lamb of course did not disappoint, the chicken was so tender and delicious also. The sauces, hummus and even the vinaigrette on the salad was delicious. More people need to go give this restaurant a try because they will be back. read more

The food is consistently amazing and packed with flavor. The tea leaf salad is a must. Super fresh, crunchy, and unlike anything else around here. The basil chili lamb brings the perfect balance of heat and flavor, and the eggplant is cooked perfectly every time. The sesame chicken is crispy and flavorful. It and the coconut rice balanced the spiciness of the lamb and eggplant perfectly. My wife likes to wash it down with a blue moon. I believe the traditional Burmese beer is similar. Everything I've had here has been solid, and you can tell they actually care about the quality of their food. If you're looking for something different from the usual spots in Folsom, definitely give Burma Lite a try. You won't regret it.

I tried the following: Tea Leaf Salad, Minted Jalapenos Chicken, Burmese Garlic Noodle (with…read moreChicken), and Burmese Indian Rice. The tea salad wasn't as flavorful as one I had elsewhere. I expected more mint flavor from a dish with mint in the name. All in all, no dish was bad, but was not really impressed by anything either. Service was good. Pretty good portions. Not somewhere I'd go out of my way for personally. However, with so many five stars reviews, definitely think you should give Burma Light a try if you're thinking about it!

The staff was nice although it took some tries to flag their attention for water refill, etc. We started off with manti. I've never tried this before but it's a dumpling filled with ground beef and sweet onion. It was very cumin-forward. The white sauce was smooth and balanced. The meat platter for two was awesome and came out flaming literally. It had 2 beef kabob, 2 chicken kabob, and 2 lamb chops. My favorite was the chicken for how juicy it was. The beef and lamb tasted a bit drier and very cumin heavy but overall delicious. We finished off with honey cake and tea. I loved the cake-- layered with a light creme and naturally sweetened by the honey. It paired well with their strong and fragrant black tea.

The fries were hot and crispy with skin on. Ordered at the counter and the service was straight forward. The restaurant was clean, large and had lots of windows. I found the music a bit too loud for my taste. That's because I'm on my phone and it competes for things I'm more interested in than 80s music. Overall solid burger and fries spot.

The portion was minimal--barely enough to cover the bottom of a standard to-go container--and it was noticeably lacking lettuce. They also used green olives, which felt a bit off from what I'd expect. The salad came with small portions of hummus and tzatziki, but no pita or anything to pair them with, which I found odd--are people just eating those with a fork? We also ordered a chicken shawarma, and ironically, the lettuce I was hoping to see more of in the salad ended up in that instead--wilted from the heat of the chicken. This was my second visit. The first time, I ordered online and was hit with a bunch of extra fees since it's routed through DoorDash--even for pickup. Staff mentioned that I should avoid ordering that way in the future to save money, which raises the question: if you know the system you're using adds unnecessary costs, why not offer a better alternative? Taking their advice, I came in person the second time. Service was fine, but overall, the food still just didn't stand out. I'll continue to spend my money at Zest just down the road.

On the other hand, my favorites are the plates. The gyro plate is great and I also like the falafel which is large, well-seasoned, and definitely worth trying. My boyfriend also really likes the Aioli Burger (I'd skip the double--it's already pretty filling). Service can be a little slow at times since the place isn't heavily staffed, but the food usually comes out pretty quickly. Don't skip the dessert case either--the baklava is fantastic!

We stopped by Halal Grill Express on a whim and wow--what a delicious surprise! It definitely has that "hole-in-the-wall" vibe, but don't let that fool you. The food here is legit. I ordered the chicken wrap and was immediately impressed. The wrap itself was thin and crispy, almost like it had a perfect pan-fried finish. The chicken inside was moist, flavorful, and packed with spices. The red onions added just the right amount of tang and crunch. Portion-wise, it was generous--chicken was literally spilling out of the wrap (in the best way possible). My husband got the lamb rice plate, and that was equally impressive. The lamb was soft, well-seasoned, and tender, paired with fluffy rice and a refreshing side salad that balanced everything out. The sauces on the side were a great bonus--perfect for dipping or drizzling over everything. There weren't many people there when we went, but honestly, this place deserves way more attention. Easy parking, too, which is always a win. We'll definitely be back. read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Halal! From the moment we walked in it has such a warm, inviting atmosphere that immediately makes you feel comfortable. I ordered the chicken kabob plate and it was absolutely amazing. The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. It came with rice, hummus on the side, and a garlic sauce -- and every single item on the plate was delicious. The rice was fluffy and seasoned just right, the hummus was smooth and fresh, and the garlic sauce truly took everything to the next level. My husband ordered the lamb and chicken plate, and he couldn't stop talking about how good it was. The lamb was especially delicious -- juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. On top of the incredible food, the service was amazing. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! read more
