    Chicken Platter
    Jose C.

    I've been to this Halal Guys a few times already. The food always taste consistently great, I just wish they would load the plates up to the top. While they don't have the same taste as the ones from New York City, its always great to have every now and then. The staff here is also friendly and very welcoming. I usually order their large Chicken Platter. Similar to chipotle unfortunately, you go down the line and then then what you'd like. Lettuce, tomatoes, onions and peppers. Ive never seen onions and peppers being offered at any of the halal carts in NYC, and I don't get them here. The chicken here tastes fresh and the white size is amazing. Don't ask for too much red sauce. I love my food spicy, but the red sauce here is no joke.

    Recanted visited for dinner and had a lovely experience. The workers were super friendly and accommodating! The menu had a lot of fun options on it to try such as a honey sriracha falafel. We loved the hot sauce because it was actually spicy! Be careful if you're not used to spice- it is HOT! such a great place to grab a quick dinner!!

    This Halal Guys location is one of the best - Such friendly staff and tasty food. The combination platter we got was soo well made! Huge portion size, plenty of toppings, white sauce, and the chicken shawarma and falafel were amazing! Armetine took my order and made it, she made it perfectly and so quick. Her and Nelson were so welcoming and created a great ambiance. Love Halal Guys and would definitely come back to this location!

    It was my first time eating here and I wanted to to try it because I've heard good things, and it was great! The place is very small and there's only a few tables available and staff was nice! There's no bathroom or wifi here and parking is mostly street parking. I got the regular chicken and gyro platter, with white sauce and a bit of BBQ sauce! The meat was very tender and flavorful, it was delicious itself. Everything tasted so good together and seemed very fresh. I recommend this place for a quick bite or for good delicious food. It was about $11.50 for a pretty big portion!

    Food is pretty average compared to all the other halal/shwarma places in Chicago. The line is long mainly because the service is slow af.

    Halal food on a budget. A real bang for your buck. Don't expect much in the way of seating arrangements.

I also really enjoyed the Salatim, especially the pickled vegetables, peaches, and labneh, although the baba ganoush wasn't as much of a favorite for me. The Summer Squash was another standout. There were so many different flavors and textures in the dish, and everything worked really well together. I didn't try the Iraqi Kubbeh Halab, but my dinner companions really enjoyed it. The Yemenite Kreplach was one of the more unique dishes of the night. It was good and interesting to try, but it didn't completely wow me. I also didn't try the Lobster, but my dinner companion said it was amazing. The presentation was beautiful, especially with the couscous. The Chocolate Babka was probably my favorite part of the meal. It was incredibly soft with rich, delicious flavors. I would absolutely order it again.

Only issue was at the end of the night: we got the bill and signed our receipt, and as we were finishing coffee- hostess came up to us asking us to clear the table to she can seat the next guests. I expect slightly more than a 10 min grace period to finish a coffee and use the bathroom and reflect on a meal at a Michelin restaurant. If she waited 5 minutes we would've already been gone.

I am familiar with the area but didn't know that this restaurant was located in this small strip mall. I pass this strip mall all the time when going to the Alamo Drafthouse for movies, but never thought about pulling into here due to the small parking lot and that it is always crowded. Walking into the restaurant, there is a kiosk where you can order your food. As it was late and I just wanted to eat and not make a lunch for tomorrow, I ordered a Spinach Pie and a Combination Meat Plate (Beef kabob, Kifta kabob, Chicken Kabob and Chicken shawarma. Served with Rice, Salad, Hummus and pita bread) so I could have leftovers to take to work the next day. I placed my order, paid for it and had to wait for about 15 minutes to get my food. While waiting, I was able to look around the restaurant to see it was clean and brightly lit. The table and floors were clean and there were a few customers dining inside. The staff was nice and friendly as well. I got my food home and was pleasantly surprised at the amount of food in the combo dish. There was a good amount of meat and rice, enough for two people easily. The combo dish is $25 but well worth it. The meat was cooked nicely and had good flavor. As good as that combo dish was, that Spinach pie was on point! The flavor was great and the dough was nice and fluffy/tasty. The food was so good that I decided to put in an order on Grubhub the next night to get it for dinner for later in the week. I wanted to place an order on Grubhub to get free delivery as a Prime member, but the online menu did not have the Spinach pies listed, so I ended up having to call into the restaurant to place my order. When you call into the restaurant, they take your number and will send you a link to pay for your order and to send them your address and delivery instructions. I ordered the same items again, but got extra Spinach pies and a Greek Salad with chicken as well. The delivery guy was nice and brought my food up to me as instructed. The salad was fresh and there was plenty of Chicken Shawarma on top of it. I ended up having that for dinner as well as one of the Spinach pies and it was delish. The Chicken Shawarma was very nice and again, this was a decent size salad and was filling along with the pie. I definitely want to go back to try some of the other dishes that they have, like the wraps and the gyro plate and/or wrap. There is a lentil soup I would also like to try as well. I would definitely recommend Falafel & Grill for eats.
