    A view of the restaurant
    Mali B.

    I stopped by Happy & Hale and made my own chicken protein bowl and overall, it was a great experience. The guy who prepared my bowl was super kind, patient, and made sure I got everything just how I wanted. I asked for a bit more rice than usual since the scoop looked small compared to the customer before me -- there was a $1 upcharge, which was okay. You can choose three free sides, which is a nice touch, but I do wish the bowl was filled a bit more and that there wasn't an up charge for more sides. The Thai vinaigrette dressing I got on the side was flavorful and tied everything together perfectly. Even with a few small tweaks I'd make, the food was tasty, the service was great, and I left satisfied. I'll definitely be back to try a different combo next time!

    I stopped by one morning for to grab a smoothie before going to appointments. There was no one dining in, but there were a lot of people getting takeaways and picking up online orders. I had ordered a City of Oats smoothie. It was actually quite filling with the oats that is a main ingredient. It was a really tasty smoothie, great for a quick breakfast on the go. The restaurant was clean and organized when I visited. The decor is very simple but quite cozy. They have plenty of tables and chairs inside. When the weather is nicer, they also have plenty of chairs and tables outside. I would definitely come back to try other things on their menu.

    Friendly service, decent smoothies, and has outdoor seating too. I didn't try any of the bowls but they look pretty good. Definitely a healthy spot! The aqua fresca type drinks looked tasty. All of the employees were friendly and checked in on us to see if we were helped yet.

    Ridiculous portion size - my husband ordered the protein bowl and this is what he received

    This was my very 1st time at Happy + Hale and let me just say the food was simply amazing! The veggie, protein & sauce diversity was so refreshing to see. I am currently on keto and making a keto friendly bowl that was both tasty & healthy was so easy to do. My bowl, in fact, was so yummy that I grabbed an extra one to go! Also the staff was so friendly too and did great job explaining the menu and their fav options and combos! I will for sure be back whenever I am in the RDU area!

    Bueno Bowl

    Did a group order and several of us got bueno bowls, and a variety of other bowls most of them absolutely perfect looking like the photos, neat fresh and organized, and then mine and one other turned out like this? It was 95% rice with 5 pieces of chicken and I couldn't figure out why it looked like it was dropped on the floor? Also the dressing didn't come on the side as it always does. Very confusing.

    It's right across the Hyatt hotel where we stayed. Went here for a quick lunch. We ordered two Create your Own Bowls. Food was very tasty and it had lot veg and meat options. I wish they had Fafalfal as veggie protein option. Overall great place to go for a healthy meal, Good portions, Good vibes and Good Prices. We will be back.

    If you want to look like Christian Bale But for now you're more like Christian Whale I have a solution To body pollution Get cleansed down at Happy + Hale Weight loss is an inspiring tale And makes you feel better without fail You don't have to be wealthy To try and eat healthy Just come down to Happy + Hale So if you live with your Mum and your Papi Or alone in a place that's quite crappy Just go on a diet You'll be glad if you try it Happy + Hale will make you so happy! Each region seems to be inventing its own style of salad places, and most are anywhere from pure crap to iffy and mediocre. But not this one. The Triangle's own does have its issues, especially at the "Bull" Durham location, but they're well worth their salt (or lack thereof), and one of my 5 fave salad chains in the country, hands down (or hands up, if you feel like celebrating). So it's another new location for this wonderful salad place specific to the Try-Angle, which has excellent products and gives a decent-sized salad as well. Every bit as good as the much more busy version in Durham, but better because I've had some nasty experiences at the Durham one lately. Employees are angels at this one, and I really like it a lot. So much so that I brought Bae here, and she loved it too! We absolutely adored the salad, and while we ate half of them here, they were still good after sitting for hours, in a hotel room later. The chicken that she gave me was good but, one big problem is that they insist on you taking protein which factor into the cost, which isn't too cheap - and a lot of people don't want protein on their salad, myself included. It should be cheaper without the protein, for sure. The toppings and scoops are pretty good but the dressings are a real strong point with the wonderful chipotle pepper one, other than the incidence of sugar in it, is a very very good dressing, in fact I love it. If there's a down side to this specific location, it can be kind of a nightmare to get into this part of the plaza, and heavy traffic to get out, so watch out. And as I said, it's not a huge portion, they force protein on you factored into the price, and it's not cheap... but I love it, and it's better than 95% of salad places including 100% of the ones in NYC and DC, which is the region that invented these places. So instead of the usual epic salad fail, come and get an Epic Salad @ Hale!

    Buena bowl + extra pickled onion

    Happy + Hale is a great quick, healthy spot in North Hills. They offer bowls, salads, smoothies, and toast. My favorite bowls are the impossible bulgogi and the poke bowl! Cannot go wrong with this place. A little pricey but definitely worth it!!

    Really good dinner here tonight!…read more The falafel was delicious, the lamb was cooked perfectly, and the cranberry walnut salad with chicken was so good. Very friendly uncomfortable atmosphere, the service was just fine and the food is so healthy, you feel really good eating it! Will definitely be back!

    Let me start with this: I am absolutely biased because Aladdin's is my favorite restaurant ever!…read moreAnd I'm not ashamed to admit it. I've practically followed this place across states and cities. I discovered Aladdin's years ago when I lived in Northern Virginia. After that first visit, I was hooked and started going several times a year. When the Shirlington location closed, they reopened in Burke, and that became my new go‑to spot every time I visited the area. And then, heartbreak , they closed that location too. One day I randomly searched to see if they had opened anywhere else, and you won't believe it... they popped up right here in North Carolina, the same state I now live in! And while it's not in Charlotte, my brother lives in Raleigh, which means every trip to see him doubles as an excuse to visit Aladdin's. My usual order is the shawarma rolled, and trust me when I say it's the best! The savory, flavorful meat paired with those pickled veggies, plus all the heavenly spices and sauces, well t's just perfect! I've had shawarma at countless places over the years, and nothing even comes close to theirs. I typically grab an appetizer as well, dolmas or falafel. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Every dish I've tried has been spectacular. Introduced my brother and wife to this place, and they've already been back! To give you an idea of how deep my love for this place goes, the last time I visited I ordered 4 extra shawarma rolls to go, froze them, and rationed them out at home. They don't hold up perfectly after being frozen but I did still enjoy every single one. Aladdin's will always be one of those rare restaurants that I go out of my way to visit and I'll continue to stop by as often as I possibly can. If you love Mediterranean flavors (Lebanese) this spot is a must!!!

The food was pretty good. I started with the tortellini soup and had the French toast from the Brunch menu. For drinks, I tried the pineapple mimosa, but it was warm, which really affected the flavor. I also ordered an espresso martini, and unfortunately it had an artificial taste that I would not recommend, especially for the price. One issue we ran into was the number of flies around our table. Even though we were seated inside, there were several constantly circling, and one ended up landing in my water. Our waitress tried to help, but the problem continued. Overall, I enjoyed the food and the service, but I would come back for the food only and not for the drinks.
