Chicken and rice plate
Feven E.

I had a wonderful experience here with my sister! We were immediately offered a sample as it was our first time here and we were not disappointed! The staff were courteous and kind and the food came out quick and hot. I was stunned by how soft and flavorful the chicken was and its definitely made a regular out of me.

Lamb and chicken platter
Tony Q.

Very easy to find, just navigate to bwi cellphone lot. Parking is free for an hour! Be mindful that there are no tables or chairs, so you'd have to eat on your car, or on the grassy area. I ordered the chicken and lamb platter, and asked for no rice. My total came out to be $13.20 after tax. When I paid, they mentioned it came with a free drink, so I got myself water. When I finally got to my car, excited to indulge on this meal, I found I had nothing but rice under my meat. I explicitly asked for no rice. There was no miscommunication, because I asked what was in the plate (meat, rice, lettuce, sauce), and they confirmed they would do no rice. I didn't notice until I ate some meat, since they do pile on the meat and sauce! Since I needed other textures, I went back and informed them I asked for no rice, and only got rice. I simply wanted them to dump my meat onto a bed of lettuce. They argued saying that since I ate some, I would have had to buy a brand new one. After I repeated myself, saying I only wanted the lettuce that's supposed to come with it, they threw some on top and gave my food back to me. The lettuce added the extra crunch into the texture, and made the meal almost perfect. I would definitely return whenever I visit BWI, but would need to double check my order at the counter next time.

A must try if you're in the area!! NY Halal Food is a food court located in the BWI cell phone lot. I tried their mixed platter which has chicken and lamb in it! I thought the chicken and lamb were cooked really well and you could taste the slight char to it. I got the sauce on the side and they packaged it really well where it was wrapped up in tin foil to make sure it didn't spill. The service was relatively quick. I got my food after 10 minutes and there were a few other orders besides me who got their food quickly as well. If you have the chance to stop by, it's definitely a spot to try!

Lamb Gyro
Bill C.

I'm usually a little more gentle with my reviews, but I'm stunned. I can't believe I went to the same place as everyone else. This place was not good! Most importantly, the cook/server was unsanitary. He had a glove on but he used the same gloved hand to receive money (mine and the people ahead of me) and to prepare my food. The service was lousy. Here's a petty issue: I asked for a 'yee-ro' (gyro) and the guy looked at me and asked "you want a jy-ro?" The food was just OK. Instead of pressed meet from the spindle or donner style, it was little cubes of lamb. And it was messily wrapped. I've had better gyro pretty much everywhere I've had a gyro including the fast food place that has the meats for sandwiches. I will never go back to this place.

Mix platter chicken and lamb
Peter D.

Lamb platter - 8/10 Chicken platter - 7/10 Mixed platter - 8/10 Lamb platter is by far my favorite meal here! Im so glad they open late because sometime after a long day of work, you just need some halal food to loosen up! Don't sleep on the red sauce, get it on the side! It adds a good kick of flavor! The workers try to get the food out as fast as possible, sometimes the lines are long but it doesnt take long before you get your food! The cart got upgraded and the price has gone up in recent years. Pandemic has hit everyone hard, i just wish the prices were what it used to be in 2019. Platter - 11$ Would we come again? Yes!

Chicken and Lamb Over Rice with White and Red Sauce
Des B.

Friendly staff and the food is cooked to order so there's about at 10 minute wait. I also get the chicken and lamb over rice, it comes with a little salad and tomatoes on the side. I also get extra white sauce and red sauce - to me the red sauce is not hot at all, I do eat a lot of spicy food, but I absolutely cannot take the red sauce at Halal Guys, this is a much milder sauce, so don't be intimidated if you are. The white sauce also lacks the same flavors as the white sauce I've had at other places, could use just a little more seasoning. Overall not a bad experience and when I want a $10 meal, that's filling and comes with a soda, I always come here.

Delicious street-style lamb gyro. Get it spicy and on pita bread for the full effect Easy parking and quick service. My go-to lunch when in the area. Bonus: makes it easy to pass time while waiting on folks you're picking up from BWI. Closed on Sunday, I think.

Halal mixed platter, extra spicy. (White sauce and 4 lines of red) side pita.
Anthony S.

I drive from Annapolis to get this AT LEAST once a week. ( I'm not picking anyone up from BWI... I'm there for halal) The mixed platter (chicken & lamb) is the only thing I've had, so that's what this review is based on. (I always add a pita on the side, so I can make my own little halal burrito) For less than 9 dollars. You get a bowl of food that weighs 2 pounds. The food is fresh, delicious and hot. If you paid 12 bucks you wouldn't be mad. I'd you're into spicy, you're in luck. Add a few lines of the red sauce, and youre spitting flames. The guys who run it are awesome. They really know how to make you feel warm and welcome, and always carry nice conversation. The only reason I haven't reviewed it sooner is out of selfishness. When you find a hidden gem you're reserved to share it.... but I feel like I'm doing everyone a disservice by not telling them to GET OUT OF YOUR CAR AND ORDER A PLATTER WHILE YOURE WAITING FOR YOUR PERSON TO LAND. Had it last night... had it 3 nights before that.... already looking forward to when I drive to see them next. Keep it up gentlemen! Can't wait to be back!

Solid halal cart. The meat quality has gone down a little but for what you get it's definitely a good value

All I can say is WOW. My dining partner and I had such an amazing experience here. First of all,…read morethe restaurant is gorgeous inside. We had an earlier dinner reservation so it wasn't as crowded at the beginning but was quite busy at the end. We tried a couple different cocktails and I loved both of mine - Ashta Affair and Asfar So Good. The Ashta Affair was sweet and creamy and the Asfar So Good was deliciously refreshing. My friend really enjoyed his Old Fashioned Date and had a fun experience trying the El Massaya Arak. For appetizers, we ordered Muhamara and Mousakhan Chicken Rolls. The Muhamara came with pita and was such a great dip. The chicken rolls were equally as good with their own sumac labneh dip we enjoyed. For entrees, we shared the Braised Lamb Shank and Makloubeh. The portions were large and the meat was tender. Neither were over seasoned and were absolutely delicious. We couldn't finish it all and saved the rest for leftovers - yum! We wanted to try their dessert and ending up getting the Ashta Bil Asal and Ruz Bil Karaz. The Ashta Bil Asal had cotton candy which made it a fun dessert to try and the Ruz Bil Karaz had a great caramelization coating. Neither were overly sweet which we preferred. It was such a great ending to our meal. I absolutely loved my experience here. Our server, Miriam, was friendly and attentive. We even chatted with the GM, Iman, who also made sure we were provided a great first experience. I cannot recommend this place enough for anyone who's looking for a boujee but amazing time!

Ammoora is such a beautiful spot--definitely great for a nice night out. The vibe is upscale but…read morestill really welcoming. We went for my husband's birthday. We started with Arabic coffee and the Harra Wala cocktail--both were really good. The coffee was strong and flavorful, and the cocktail was unique and refreshing. For food, we ordered batata harra, beetroot hadiqa, lentil soup, saffron pita pie, and saffron rice. Everything was solid, but the saffron pita pie and batata harra were probably my favorites. The lentil soup was super comforting too. For dessert, we got the raspberry sorbet and baklava--perfect way to end the meal. The sorbet was light and refreshing, and the baklava was sweet and flaky. Service was great. Our server made sure we enjoyed our meal and was available to explain the menu options and checking on time to time if we need anything. Overall, a great experience. I'd definitely go back!
