    Chicken over Rice
    Amelia S.

    Clean nice location. Took someone a while to come out from the back. Order at counter and customize with toppings (hummus, chickpeas, tomato cucumber salad, black beans, sauces). Food held up well to take out other than the hummus sticking to the lid. The green chutney is cilantro based (just a note for a home that dislikes cilantro). The hot sauce is very hot. Generic bbq. White sauce is good. Available for purchase. Overall, it wasn't my flavor profile, like what appeared to be brown basmati rice or the flavor of the chicken. There was nothing wrong though.

    Mixed combo over salad!!!
    Aimee S.

    Awesome food and awesome service. The white sauce is soooooo good. You won't be disappointed!!!

    Chicken and rice
    Daniel T.

    TLDR: pretty solid chicken and rice with lots of toppings, but a bit pricey. I got the chicken and rice. Alongside the standard side mini salad we were also given chickpeas and hummus, which was a nice hefty little touch. The chicken was plentiful and ingredients well seasoned - pretty much what you're looking for when you think of chicken and rice off a halal cart. It was a little pricey at $10 an order, but it hit the spot!

    Falafel over Rice
    Nina L.

    TLDR - large portions, fluffy falafels, fast service I discovered this place on my way home from the gym and had to stop by because I love trying new halal platters. They have your standard fast food halal platter options: chicken, falafel, lamb kebab, fish over rice. I also love that you can add salad options for free, so I got hummus! This place can be compared to Halal guys in terms of menu items. I like Shah's Halal Food more because their falafels were fresh and had a fluffy texture. They also piled on the rice and lettuce. You can also pick up a bottle of their white sauce or red sauce on your way out!

    Chicken over Rice

    Great food and worth the price. Asked for a little less salad but i'm not sure they got the memo. Can't blame them for that though, it was still really good. Got my food really quickly there wasn't a long wait.

    Kofta chicken, with pita
    Susanna C.

    Clean and bright interior. Fast food style halal food. Healthy alternative to other fast food options. We had the chicken Kofta, which came with rice and a selection of topics like black beans, tomato, cucumber, onions along with an array of sauces. Food was tasty and paired nicely with all the sauces.

    As a person who loves Cava and Mezeh, I thought Hummus Republic was going to be another iteration…read moreof those. Instead, I was left with much to be desired. When I arrived on a late Wednesday afternoon, the place was empty. The guy working behind the counter was sitting there eating food behind the counter as I walked in the door. This occurred in close proximity to where the food is that they serve. That should've been my sign to leave, but I wanted to give this place a chance. I ordered a bowl with a base of rice and spinach. I got two different types of hummus and another dip which I assume is their version of the crazy feta they have at Cava. I asked what the most popular protein choice was and I was told the chicken schwarma so I got that. I got a bunch of different vegetables and topped it off with tzatziki sauce. I paid around $15 for my food. When I got home and ate my food, I was highly disappointed. Everything lacked flavor to me, even the meat, dips, and sauce. The corn looked like it came from a can. The chicken also had a weird appearance to it. I know it was bad because I was literally STARVING from barely eating anything all day and I had to throw it away after a few bites. Usually when I'm super hungry, things that taste merely okay are edible enough for me to finish. That was not the case here. Disappointed, I still had to go out and get something else to eat. This was my first time here, but I don't see myself returning. The service wasn't the greatest either. The staff who was working there didn't seem interested in trying to help me with any suggestions as I stood there taking forever to decide what I wanted. I guess he just wanted me out the door so he could get back to his food. Another thing I'd like to note is that most times when you visit these assembly-line type of fast casual spots, there's usually multiple people behind the counter and you can see things being prepared right in front of you. That was not the case here. I don't even know if there was anyone in the back preparing food or replenishing items throughout the day.

The grape leaves with the rice was well seasoned and delightful . The sandwich was warm on a soft toasted pita which had good amount of tahina sauce , mixed greens tomatoes and falafels made from fava beans , which tasted quite different from the typical chickpea falafel . Given the food was on a high note we had to try their desserts . We picked up 2 different Baklavas to go . Pistachio and Walnut tahina . My O My , it was a juicy, lip smacking sweet treat . Not to be missed ! The owner is Egyptian and so are most of the cooks, which goes to show the quality and authenticity of the food . Have to go back to try the other authentic items in the menu like Ful Mudqmmas @ Koshary .

Sandwich which is the star of my meal was smaller than the palm of my hand, ordered it with baba, there was less than a teaspoon at best, lamb was dry, no vegetables hardly at all. Sandwich was falling apart by the second bite because the pita was thinner than a fingernails thickness. Soup was great as always, the pistachio baklava was superb. The he prices aren't bad but if you factor in that they're not training their cooks to assemble their signature sandwiches and platters to the standard of Mamoun's, it's a waste of money and time ordering here. When I first got the order delivered I called, no manager, said call back, next day, couldn't reach the manager, third day later, no manager and a young woman in her teens clearly not interested in my comments and getting exasperated with me on the phone, she composed herself, but honestly, my comments are spot on. I told her to tell the manager to look at the reviews on Yelp and Google, wasn't looking for a free meal to make up for the really amateur sandwich only a college student in their dorm would be proud of assembling, I simply like the fact that Mamoun's is near my house and management it clearly failing. I left my name and number, have ZERO FAITH I will be contacted back, they don't seem to care. Update: 7 days later, no manager called. These guys just do not care, way to treat a good and EX customer. #fail

I ordered the Build Your Own Pita Wrap with Souvlaki Chicken, Tzatziki, Cucumbers, olives and Feta with a side of Greek Fries. This meal was by far one of my favorites this year. The Pita Wrap was so fresh and delicious. For my dressing I chose the Lemon-Dill Vinaigrette and was blown away. The vinaigrette paired so well with the Pita bread that I could've just eaten the pita and the dressing together. I think it was the olive oil in the vinaigrette *chefs kiss*. Next up, the Greek Fries !!!!! So good. Seasoned to perfection with crumble cheese on top and paired with the Granch, made for the perfect combo. My friend tried the Greek Chopped Cheese but wanted to sub out the Beef and Lamb for chicken and was able to with no problem. He absolutely loved it. I tried his as well and it was honestly better than the chopped cheese's that I've had in the city. The Greek Chicken Chopped Cheese definitely needs to be a new menu item, shoutout to Tahj lol. If you're looking for lunch or dinner in NB you definitely have to stop by this place. It was delicious. Not to mention the owner was so warm and welcoming!!

We were told it would take 30-35 minutes, which is fine for cooked to order food. It really wasn't very busy, but the order took 50 minutes.

They almost forgot to give us the side salad, but they remembered before we left. Now for the food... - The bread that we waited for- was doughy and undercooked. It had burnt pieces stuck to it and they were not shaped as nicely as their usual bread. - The hummus side that we ordered, which was almost $8, was a half filled half pint container (very small amount) of what appeared more like a sauce rather than the thick hummus we are accustomed t. I wouldn't order this again. - The salad was watery...they need to drain the water better - The rice was cold - I think it was sitting out too long - Now for the main event - the meats - we enjoyed the flavor. This saved our dinner, we did enjoy the meats. We called them about the bread and they were apologetic, and told us we can stop by for bread next time we are there. As this is one of my favorite restaurants, I want to give them an opportunity to do better next time! The afghan bread and their rice have alway been my favorite part of their meals! I think it was an off night for them, I'd definitely give them a chance again in the future.
