Braved the cold weather to get some Halal Guys today. Although I see some reviews stating the food was bland, I feel like they keep the food simple and they have different sauces to add to the meal which make the meal more flavorful. Their white sauce is really good (but unfortunately not low calorie lol) and I love their hot sauce - it has a kick to it! I ordered a "regular" size chicken platter and removed the pita to save come calories but the bowl is a lot of food! I ate half for lunch and have been snacking on it throughout the rest of my work day lol. read more

The Halal Guys - Regular Size chicken platter with pita removed and added onions, peppers, and jalapeños - Halal Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

The Halal Guys chains are great for a quick bite. They offer two bowl sizes, pick your protein, toppings, finish off with the white garlic signature sauce, and hot sauce. My only critique is, I just wish the proteins had a bit more elevated flavors. They also offer some sides as well, fries, & falafel. The falafel is delicious, highly recommend, piping hot, crunchy, & they are perfect for dipping in the sauce. On our visit, they were offering a spicy BBQ sauce, a great addition to the meal. The service was exceptional at this location; the space overall is a vibe. They have huge NYC murals & a fun little board you can write little notes on. By no means does the Halal Guys chains compare to the NYC Cart; that just hits different, but this is a great place to fix those lunch or late-night NYC cravings! read more

See all

Nice welcome. Ordered a chicken gyro with white sauce for takeout. I've eaten baby gyros and was not happy that the pita was falling apart 4 minutes later when I opened the meal to eat. Glad to have a fork! read more

The Halal Guys - Chicken gyro - Halal Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

It was okay. We got there as it opened. They weren't quite ready. Took a minute. Seems fresh. Food was tasty. I thought it was a little pricey for what we got. read more

I struggled with how many stars to give. It deserves a 3.5. I had the chicken wrap. The fresh vegetable ingredients were great. The bread fresh, tasted great and did not fall apart as I am eating the sandwich. The chicken had a good chicken flavor but was not spiced like some Arabic restaurants I have been to in the Middle East. The white sauce, which is supposed to be a garlic sauce, was extremely mild. I couldn't really taste the garlic. Maybe the flavor profiles are made milder to appeal to the local taste buds. Service is fast. The interior is more like a fast food joint. read more

Recently moved to CO and was so excited to see that I live so close to this place. My first time visiting this store the staff was welcoming. I've read some of the reviews, and for those that are saying the portions are small and the food is bland are obviously ordering the wrong thing. I get a beef gyro platter with lettuce and tomato and a ton of white sauce with a smidge of hot sauce and it comes out amazing every time. A lot of halal guys closed down in Texas (where I'm from) and I really hope to see this place stay open! read more

The Halal Guys - Halal Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Having eaten at the New York location, I was excited to try this local one. I had the chicken wrap. It was nice, but the white sauce did not have enough garlic. The service was quick and the staff was friendly. Ambiance? There really isn't much ambiance in a fast food joint. read more

Not great. Ordered two bowls, one with beef gyro and one with beef gyro and bbq chicken. Both were bad. Although the gyro meat was cut traditionally off a spit, it was bland and under seasoned. The BBQ chicken was one of the worst I've had. Only 4 toppings, and then only serve hummus with a $2 up charge. Don't recommend. Baklava was prepackaged and dry. Go to Teriyaki Madness next door or even to Chipotle. read more

I'm really bothered, the food is BLAND. No taste. I should've known when I didn't smell the food in the air. No aromas.. The service was great that's the best part. I don't recommend it. The food is horrible read more

Restaurant was empty. Hope they get some business. Just don't ask for tzatziki sauce that's yoghurt/cucumber based because you may get reprimanded by the owner/manager, who seemed lovely at first, then turned on me and abruptly told me that they are "a Mediterranean restaurant not Greek!" Wow! I was just asking lady! No need to get defensive over your sauce! It's mayonnaise! Food was okay. I'm not in any rush to go back to eat at that this establishment. Mainly because of the passive aggressiveness of that lady. What a bummer! read more

The place is clean and the food is definitely fresh but the chicken was plain and the sauce had little to no flavor , it's a good place to try if you're new to mediterranean food but i was expecting more flavor with the chicken wrap I got. Definitely not the worst i've had but it could certainly be better read more

Awful and bland. Ingredients do not taste fresh nor is the food authentic. I'm from Orange County CA but live in the Springs now. Halal guys in the Springs is not the same as in CA and although this is part of the same chain the food here is bad. It's the top 5 worst places I've tried here, taste wise. Service was nice though but won't try again read more

The portions are small and the food tastes processed. They use head lettuce and they have high fructose corn syrup in their sauces. The chicken was dried out and not very tasty. The service was good, but it always feels awkward when they have the tip option and you're taking takeout. I would not recommend this place! Go to Heart of Jerusalem instead. It tastes fresh and authentic! read more

The food here is quite good! Even cold. I ordered the beef gyro bowl with white sauce. Delicious. The veggies are crisp and the meat very juicy. The white sauce here is a game changer. Their hot sauce is pretty good but there's not enough and honestly I think it'd be better with sriracha. The service was alright. Maybe it was just an off day but when I went the meat was a little cold and out of a metal container not the spit. Overall though, I would go here again for another shot. The inside was good but the tables not very clean. read more

Whoah! WTF Halal Guys? This place is nothing like your NYC food. The chicken was bland, the gyro was dry, tasked like it came from a box, and why is it Gyro instead of shawarma? The rice was dry, the falafels were tiny little rocks, the salad was lackluster. The fries were fine, but so what? Seriously. I was super excited when you opened, considering I ate from a halal cart about every other day when I lived in New York,, but I'll stick with Heart of Jerusalem. read more

Ordered a gyro. Disappointed they didn't have lamb or a lamb/beef gyro. The gyro was beef. Had a lot of beef but didn't really have the taste of a gyro. Pita was dry. Heart of Jerusalem knows this place out of the water . Very disappointed and wouldn't go back. read more

Sorry to say NOPE. We ordered takeout and really wanted to like this place because we love Mediterranean food but this is super low-caliber Med junk food. They offer no baba ghanoush nor tzatziki. WUT?! That's akin to opening an Italian restaurant with no marinara sauce. Duh. They fill most of your plate or gyro with bland rice and just a sprinkling things like onions, peppers and kalamatas. Always kind of a stingy thing to do. I had to add more tomatoes and kalamatas to my plate once we brought it home just so there'd be some flavor and complexity. Hummus is an upcharge Staff was friendly and welcoming enough, but unfortunately this small concession doesn't make up the difference for a really low-quality operation. Also see their poor reviews on Google. I hope they can figure it out and improve but until then, we far and away prefer Jerusalem Cafe. Locally owned and operated. Incredibly fresh flavorful authentic middle eastern fare! read more

I have been to several of the Halal Guys locations. Even though it's a chain I have always enjoyed eati with them. But I have to say this location with the lady that was there went way above and beyond doing what ever we wanted she made sure to take care of us. I truely wish that I got her name to include on my review. I'm a huge chili head and she could not believe how much red sauce I wanted and gave tons to me. It was not as hot as I like but love the taste. There were 4 of us and all order the large platter and also got wings. we were given 4 sauces to go with the wings. The top thing was how she came out and told us thank you so much for stopping in. There are almost NO places any more that tell you how much they appreciate you!! I wish I lived closer to this location because I would be going over and over. I was surprised to see there rating is not better. Coming from Dallas TX having so many locations I would take this one easily. read more

I've never been to a Halal Guys before but I've been to the Middle East and Europe and other areas to experience what food should look and taste like for this area. I don't expect the same, but it should be close enough to bring back the memories of those experiences. Had a "sandwich" with chicken. Yes, they called it a sandwich. They also had beef, but no lamb, and spicy bbq chicken. I guess they are catering to American diets and vernacular. So the chicken was already in a basket aka chipotle or Qdoba style. Even though they had the vertical roasters in the back they only used them to cook the meat and then cut it to place in the buckets. Probably a health code issue since they don't have the volume of orders to keep the meat at the right cooking temp. If you've been to Germany you know how large those vertical skewers of meat can get. So typically the meat is shaved off with a long knife. Well the chicken was in chunks. I'm not even sure it was actual chicken and looked more like minced chicken aka nuggets. It was over seasoned as well. But the place doesn't control that as it looks like these skewers are frozen and shipped to the location to serve. So, it's not fresh chicken or protein. Now for the actual sandwich/gyro. They pulled the pita out of a bucket too. Thought they would heat it up, but they did not. For those that know, the pita or bread that's used is typically heated up against the fire/burner on the vertical roasters. The toppings were not very Mediterranean except for maybe olives. The rest were typical sandwich toppings. Then you have the white sauce. I guess this is what they are famous for. I'm not sure what it is, but it wasn't as good as real tzatziki sauce which is awesome. Then they had a spicy red sauce. So they built my sandwich and wrapped it in foil. When I went to eat it, sauce was everywhere and halfway through the bread just fell apart. So I dumped into the paper plate they gave me and had a salad. Speaking of paper plate...it's the most basic paper plate you can buy at the dollar store. And the utensils are plastic of course, but again the most basic plastic you can get. It wasn't great food, but it also wasn't the worst I've had. They can and should do better especially since if done right this is some of the most amazing food I've ever had overseas. I won't come back because there are other places nearby who do a much better job...heart of Jerusalem on voyager is the closest and by far one of the best in town. If you're swinging by, probably get the beef platter. The sandwich/gyro needs some work. They also offer 10% off for military/first responder so that's good. But they also prompt for counter tip which is becoming more and more common post lock-down. Great location, average food, could do much better. read more

OK, so to start with the positive the service was excellent. The negative was the food itself. Definitely not anything like it should be. The chicken tasted gross, the rice well left much to be desired, and the plate was mostly a whole bunch of iceberg lettuce. Made me really miss Garbanzo. Printing, the food here just came across as a lot of filler and cheap ingredients, but not a great result. read more

Service was not great, felt disrespected here The atmosphere is ok I guess for a fast food place read more

I had a beef small platter. Food was very tasty! Speedy and delicious a great spot for a quick lunch.

The food was so yummy! Got the combo plate with their signature white sauce- oh my! I'm going to be a regular now!! Next time I'd like to try the falafel read more

Great Mediterranean food for a decent price I can hardly finish a regular platter on my own. Whoever was working 6/12 made me an amazing meal and hooked it up thank you guys read more

Been to the original "chain" back east coast years back when it was awesome. Here - Portions are tiny and everything feels like it's covered in canola or made with heavy canola oil. read more

The food was great service was great everything was great great great great great great

If you want to visit the Halal Guys, you'd better do it soon because they are destined to fail. Ordered a "Gyro." Chopped meat from a steam tray with "White sauce" that is nothing like tzatziki. The fries are worse than any frozen fries you can get at Walmart. All in all super disappointing. You can get better Gyros at the mall... read more

Food is quite average, and a serving of white sauce is 47% of your recommended daily value fat intake for the day. Just the sauce.

Favorite taco truck-absolutely delicious every time! Lady taking order was not pleasant and I don't think she is a regular

I'm so glad this location is finally open! As usual, this hit the spot just as it did in NY. The staff greeted me immediately and made a couple of suggestions though I already knew exactly what I wanted. The chicken bowl with a couple of falafels. The space was clean and well kept. Definitely drop by if you get a chance read more
