*insert meme* WHY IS IT SPICY!? Because it has Halal Guy's red sauce, that's why! This place is the best. Halal Guys is a fast, casual type of place that has dine-in or carry out options. There's plenty of seating if you choose to eat in. I'm here close to once a week and they have never let me down. My go-to order is a regular platter with half spicy BBQ chicken ($1.00 upcharge) and half regular chicken. Add onions and white sauce, and I'll take a packet of the hot sauce to go. Total cost is under $16.00 for a good amount of food. All platters come with lettuce, tomatoes, rice, and pita. There are several free toppings as well as ones that are available at an additional charge. Highly recommend you get a good serving of the white sauce and if you're brave, add a line of the red sauce. I usually like mild to medium spicy dishes and the red sauce is definitely HOT, not medium, so I get a packet to go so I can add it myself. The spicy BBQ chicken is already made with the red sauce and I've found half spicy, half regular is the chef's kiss for my preferred spice level. I feel like vegetables are often under-appreciated, but they need a mention here...always super cold and crisp, which is refreshing when you've got to quell the heat. If you haven't, definitely give these guys a try! read more

I came here for a yelp elite event. I ordered the small platter and I had a choice of any meat I wanted. I ended up getting the beef and chicken with rice, white sauce, and barbecue sauce. It comes with a side of pita. This portion was huge. The food was hot. Everything was fresh. The staff was extremely friendly and now I will definitely be coming back to this location. This place does a lot of takeout but you can definitely sit if you want and eat your food. It's clean here. Nothing's messy or looks dirty very hygienic. The Halal guy is just as good as I remembered! read more

Too salty and overly seasoned. Probably to disguise the meat that was dried out and over cooked.

I always make sure to stop by this Halal Guys location every single time that I'm in East Brusnwick. The quality of their platters has been consistently good. Great portion size - I'm personally able to get two servings out of a regular size platter. I always get the onion and green pepper toppings, extra white sauce and 3 lines of hot sauce - it hits every time! I LOVE spicy food, so their hot sauce is just the cherry on top of their fresh rice, soft chicken and gyro meat, and crisp lettuce/tomatoes. The service is extremely fast, even if there are people in line ahead of you. I generally take my platters to go, but it's cool to dine-in at their casual seating area from time to time, especially if I'm about to do some shopping in the same plaza. read more

This experience at this location was bad today. Ordered via their app. They literally gave no gyro meat in a mixed platter. I'm upset that they charge $15 for a 80% rice platter. I told myself I should try zinger express just up the road and didn't, now I'm upset. I will definitely try to avoid this place in the future since they can't get their chain quality/quantity correct. read more

The Halal Guys - Lack of gyro meat in a $15 platter - Halal Near Me - East Brunswick, New Jersey

Really great food & the staff was super welcoming and helpful. I got chicken over rice and it was delicious!

I love Halal Guys. I love their white and red sauce and their lamb beef gyro is the best! I love how they give vegetables on the side too. I'm always craving Halal Guys sometimes and it always satisfies my taste buds. I always keep going back for more! read more

I had a nice time with a group of friends. The new Lamb & Beef Gyro Platter was delicious!

I love the sandwiches and the sauce. Have stopped here many times. Of course will return.

This quality and quantity of food is going down in this location. I literally got half a bowl than I usually would for a regular sized plaThis is not a first occurrence. Hence, posting this review. I won't be visiting this location again. The meal is not worth the price you pay anymore. read more

I always have a good experience here. Whenever I'm in Jersey it's one of my go to spots. I get the chicken gyro platter and I'm always happy with the portions. The pita wedges are hit or miss, Beware of the hot sauce, it's sneaky good. read more

First time coming to this place definitely a great experience. Excellent food tasted great. Service was great quiet place.

Some of the best "fast food" you'll have. This place is quick, fresh and consistent. If you've ever been to the food truck in the city, you'll love these brick and mortar locations. They definitely feel (and are) so much cleaner just as great. I always stick with the chicken platter and add white sauce and a tiiiiiny bit of the hot sauce. Beware, the hot sauce is super spicy! And the white sauce is oh so tasty - definitely a must! Hoping to give some of their other menu items a try next time - they have falafel as an option and instead of platters, they serve wraps too which is cool. read more

The rice is quite good. The lamb is just ok. They have a nice selection of lemonade and iced tea flavors. There are a few tables for eat in and the restaurant is clean. My order was very quickly prepared and the employees were friendly. read more

I ordered takeout - the chicken platter with yellow rice and lettuce/tomato. The veggies were very fresh and the meat and yellow rice were both seasoned well and taste great together. The service was fast and friendly. Overall, this place is great for a quick, healthy meal at a good price. I will continue to order from here! read more

Very conveniently located within a big strip mall. I always like the quality of halal guys . And it's not insanely expensive . Chicken over rice costs about 12.5$ ... and u can get extra proteins if required. .. felafel was good .. nice and crispy . Lots of parking outside . Very quick billing and good customer service . Not sure why the lamb platter was removed from the menu . With chicken and beef , options are less ... overall it's a good place for quality Mediterranean food ... read more

Bought a platter, the chicken looked almost raw like pink or white, usually, if it was cooked, it would have a tinge of brown and will be appealing to eat. After almost ten years I visited the place, very disappointed. Bought a gyro and some of the meat was dry. What happened to their standards of keeping it delicious? If they continue like this, they may close this shop down. read more

Positive notes.. decent portion .. hot sauce - is definitely hot.. Lows points.. × chicken had zero flavor × gyro meat cut too small and lacked flavor × white sauce lacked flavor × rice lacked any flavor × person taking order was not very friendly Save your money and pick a better restaurant.. I ordered the beef and chicken combo .. read more

I've visited this location of The Halal Guys countless times since it's opened up. The food is always fresh and delicious! There may be a little wait and long lines during peak hours, but it always moves quickly and the food makes up for it! Also, there's not much seating at this place and it's mostly take out only. Their falafel sandwich/platters are amazing. But it's the sauces that brings everything together. It's all about that white sauce. Whatever the hell it is, brings everything together. Without it, the platters would be average. Be careful with the hot sauce, it's Lethally HOT. Price is reasonable and can have decent platter with Soda/water and extra pita with hummus under $15.00. They don't give extra white sauce for takeout so you have to pay $0.50 extra per packet. I am ok with giving them few extra bucks because I can pick this up in 20 mins from my house in East Brunswick and not have to drive to NYC for it! read more

Stingy with the white sauce depending on who helps you. There is this one dude who looks like he hates being there and even after requesting extra white sauce, will put like half a packets worth. Barely says more than 1 word. Throws the food into the platter like he's angry with it. Also, this place does less business than Brunswick, so I feel like the food is not as fresh. The protein is always so dry. Sad read more

The Halal Guys have become one of my go-to spots for a delicious meal. Their gyro platters are packed with flavor and always hit the spot. So happy their Spicy BBQ Chicken is back!! The portions are generous, and the casual, lively vibe makes it a fun place to eat. Whether I'm grabbing a quick lunch or a late-night snack, The Halal Guys never disappoint. read more

Haven't had a gyro sandwich in years. This was amazing! I add onions of course and the white sauce is a must!!! You actually have to order extra just because. This location was clean and had some small 2 top tables to dine inside. Definitely need to try their platter next. read more

Generous portion for $11 but that was it. Rice has no flavor, only a lot of color. Meat was sliced way too thin, like SteakUm thin. I would not recommend. read more

I admit, I never had Halal Guys in NYC but have had similar platters elsewhere. Got the combo platter and everything was delicious, but I just wish there was more white sauce added. I didn't check Yelp beforehand where there are several comments saying that you have to ask for more white sauce-- that being said, why doesn't Halal Guys (or this location specifically) add more white sauce? Is it because of the sauce pouches? Just some food for thought. read more

This spot for the The Halal guys is the 2nd best I have ever tired moving to central NJ the 1st is the original food cart in NYC but right after that this one definitely takes the spot overall halal guys is amazing and a must for halal or even Non halal eaters. read more

Yummmm! Love the Halal Guys from Manhattan. Was so excited to see one close to home in New Jersey. I'll definitely be back. The food was good. Not as good as the city but good. I didn't care for the falafels but I'm glad I tried them. The restaurant is small but big enough to get a seat if eating in. I recommend eating in for the unlimited white sauce. Ha! Wouldn't go out of my way to come here but I'll definitely be back when in the area. read more

Weekday early dinner. Regular chicken platter under $14 and had enough leftover for a snack. Chicken could be more juicy. Didn't hit like the carts do at 11am. Older man made the platter was nice with smile. Younger gentleman rang me up was nice. Not a long overdrawn process like next door. Was in and out very quickly. Clean inside with few tables. read more

The Hala Guy's I've been eating from them since they were just a cart in NYC 53rd and 6th ave. Since Hala Guys has franchises they are able to delivery same combo platers in New Jersey. It's a must try if you have not eaten there before. -Must ask for a lot of white sauce.... read more

The Halal Guys - Beef and chicken platter - Halal Near Me - East Brunswick, New Jersey

Ordered delivery from Postmates. Relatively quick for a late night order! Meat was slightly on the colder side but I understand, it's the last order and delivery. I was slightly disappointed by the large amount of lettuce and tomatoes they gave in comparison to the rice and meats. But to be honest, the combination of the flavorful rice, deep flavored meats, and creamy white sauce is just something you won't be able to find anywhere else. I will always go back to this for my late night cravings and I was not disappointed. read more

They had no outdoor and indoor seating. They added a rope so you are not too close to the employee when ordering food. The seating inside is blocked off. I got the combo one with beef and chicken. I got mine without tomatoes and so he added more lettuce but it def had more lettuce than rice and meat combined. It also came with 4 pcs of the pita bread. read more

Food is great, it was busy. Portion was light compared to usual. Seemed like they had new employees that were frantic and not communicating well. They were nice otherwise but we were annoyed that the meals were light. read more

I've been here twice so far. The first time was after they first opened. There was a super long line, but I love Halal Guys in NYC so I was happy when they opened near me! Unfortunately, I was disappointed. It definitely wasn't as good. The white sauce was too watery, and the flavor in the meats and rice were lacking. The second time was slightly better with the white sauce not being as watery. No more lines at least. Flavoring was still not as good. I know of some really good trucks in Brooklyn with chicken/lamb and rice that are like 10x better. I guess if you're in Jersey and craving it, go ahead. It's just not the same though. Really sad they aren't selling lamb and rice and have replaced it completely with beef. read more

Can't go wrong with The Halal Guys. Falafel Sandwich with everything on it, never misses. Had a glitch with the online order but the Manager quickly resolved it. Great service!!! read more

I must say I was excited to try the halal guys....well I guess not too excited as they have been open for 9 months In any case I finally tried it and I enjoyed my meal Chicken and beef combo with lettuce tomatoes white sauce and hot sauce Decent size plate, just about filled me up I passed on the rice and did not eat the pita. The protein is seasoned well I agree with the other folks, piece of chicken would taste better than the shredded. The beef was really tasty The white sauce is outrageous, I could do shots of it The hot sauce is delicious but be careful it is effing hot! I am happy to say I will try it again read more

New Jersey's much-anticipated Halal Guys brick-and-mortar store needs more time to get its act together. Even with over half a dozen newly trained food prep workers behind the counter, the $8 (incl. tax) small platters and $9 (incl. tax) large platters still don't compare in taste or quality or value to the large $7 platters from the 53rd and 6th food cart expertly manned by only 3 people. If I were to have eaten the platters here blindfolded, I might have thought that they were a knockoff imitation from a competitor. By comparison, the rice and meat quantities here are also somewhat limited, and the white sauce is strictly rationed (extra for $0.50). Unlike the carts, this location has about 10 tables, a soda machine, and decent air conditioning (when it isn't packed). Didn't get diarrhea after this visit, but will probably not go back anytime soon for a second trial run. If you work or live in NYC, consider yourself lucky as you have easier access to the real deal. The rest of us in central Jersey will just have to wait for this Halal Guys to catch up. read more
