Basic rule for ALL restaurants...HOT FOOD HOT AND COLD FOOD COLD. Your second day open and you failed to keep that in mind. I got the beef gyro and it was not good at all. I'm thinking that the management thought, "We'll be busy like yesterday so make a ton of everything and keep it...less than warm". This would include the meat and the bread...No flavor at all, compared to traditional gyros in the market. And their "white sauce" tastes more like a combo of cheap mayonnaise and ranch dressing. It's been about a year, but I remember having a better gyro in Tokyo than at your place and for a better price. In any case, I wouldn't recommend your restaurant, especially in Glendale where you have a lot of competition for your kind of fare. read more

The Halal Guys - Chicken & Beef Gyro Sandwich - Halal Near Me - Glendale, California

I have actually eaten The Halal Guys in NYC at their cart locations around Times Square. I was 100% vegetarian back then too... So falafel anything was all I ate from them. Even if I had to wait half-hour in the winter on a line. And it was always amazing. I like the concept of an eatery. The ambiance was nice. The line was short and quick. The pita was small. The rice was different like less flavorful. There was no pickled vegetables ((beet, turnip, pepper) with the salad. I was happy for tahini (sesame seed paste), white sauce and hot sauce on the side. I found out the delicious white sauce was always made with eggs. Also, the hot sauce was too hot. Thank God I only put one packet of hot sauce on my dinner. My nose and eyes are watering from the hot sauce heat. Not so enjoyable. What else? It's not just one Halal Man in action preparing great food for the mass of workers on lunch/snack/dinner. Men and women work behind the counter at the Halal Guys eatery. Service was very friendly. They displayed sides of eggplant dip, tabouleh and something else that was yucky looking because of it sitting openly. It made me want to runaway... However, I placed my order and paid already. I don't recommend vegan, vegetarian and sides here. Also, the baklava was small for the price $2.95 Prices are double because it was not a food-cart. So, I must say that if you go to a Halal Guys Eatery for chicken or beef or combination plates that would be completely worth it. And I recommend it to meat-eaters. Average price per person ($8 to $15). People in Burbank and Glendale completely love this place. read more

So this is my first Yelp review and I downloaded the app specifically to commend the great service and food consistently offered at this Halal Guys location in Glendale. Greeted promptly (and friendly) by Areg who assisted me with my combo platter. If only all businesses employed such hard working and friendly employees as this location consistently does. Sure, there are other Halal Guys locations, but I generally make a stop at this location as it is always far above the rest in terms of friendliness and quality. Do yourself a favor and visit this location. And be careful how much of the hot sauce you put on your platter hahaha read more

Came here for the OTM falafel sandwich and it was amazing! Loaded with veggies and cant forget about their tasty sauces - I'm a sucker for that white sauce and can only handle a dab of the red one! The staff was so friendly and accommodating. Food was hot and delicious, cant wait to go back! read more

Very delicious Mediterranean Fast Food restaurant, love their beef gyro and the white sauce. Fast & friendly to go service.

Went in for a quick lunch with my parents. It was around 2 pm and they were not busy at all. The girl taking our order seemed to rush things and for us being a first timer we needed to know what we want so I kinda felt that she was trying to rush things. Anyways, my dad got the gyro plate, my mom got the Felafel plate and I got combo plate of gyro and felafel. We got a side order of babaganoush and a taboola. The side orders were super dry, bland and no flavor at all. Falafel was soooo dry and lacked basic taste and flavor in any middle eastern food. It was extremely pricey compare to Zankou chicken and lacked basic quality. We spent $43 for those 3 small plates and 2 sides and one drink. I would suggest going to Zankou chicken to get a better quality food and portion size. Won't be returning ever. read more

This is our go to for a quick and delicious Middle Eastern meal, especially when it's late. Service is always fast and quality is consistent. The ones in Los Angeles are not quite as I remember the Halal Guys in NYC, but delicious nonetheless. The spicy sauce is read more

My co-worker and I had lunch here yesterday. I had high expectations since I've had it in New York and Orange County. Considering it was lunch time the line was fast and food fresh and tasty. Expectations met :) The restaurant was very clean and staff was friendly. The staff Niko, AJ, and Jordan did a good job managing a busy lunch time in Glendale. Niko even went up to the tables and checked on the customers. He asked if we needed anything and offered to take away any trash. Good customer service and tasty food. read more

I've been to this location a few times now. The area is nice. Next to 85 degrees, if you want dessert afterwards.. Lolz. Parking can be difficult. They have meter parking on the street. I liked their meat, but this time I ordered the chicken sandwich. It was ok, but chicken was a little bit hard. We also ordered the combo platter. I liked the beef, it was tender and soft. The white sauce and rice were also good. Although, the portion was smaller compare before. The customer service was ok. Needs a little cleaning on the kitchen, tables and restroom. Overall, I would still come back for more beef. read more

The Halal Guys - White Sauce Pouch - Halal Near Me - Glendale, California

Well, I finally made it. I ordered a 1/2 chicken, 1/2 gyro plate and tried to turn it into a salad by refusing the rice and adding extra lettuce and white sauce which I don't recommend doing. It didn't work well. It may have worked slightly better if they used romaine lettuce but it's just shredded iceberg. I found their gyro meat to be very dry and crumbly compared to their chicken which was juicy and seasoned very well. Also, I don't understand the hype behind their white sauce. In fact, it gets old pretty quickly. I'd compare it to the sauce that Baja Fresh serves on their fish tacos - my best guess is vinegar and sour cream. That's it, nothing innovative. If I do return, it will be for a normal plate with all chicken, rice, a tiny bit of lettuce and a normal amount of white sauce... maybe mixed with the hot sauce which I didn't try. read more

Ordered delivery and I gotta say I was impressed. Very good sized portions, hummus and halal meat was very good. The rice was seasoned well and it was all fairly priced. The only reason I gave it 4 stars: the felafel. I ordered a side of it and it was dreadful. Overly done, no flavor, it was like eating gritty cardboard. Other than that, very good! read more

I'm sure everyone has been here but wanted to provide my experience in something that is not food related here. It is the sauce! I could hold my own with hot sauce and have been known by many people that eating the hottest of hot sauces is my thing. Having heard about The Halal Guys, how hot could that red sauce be? I didn't care, I went there ordered a small plate with half chicken and beef; asked them to drizzle the entire dish with red sauce. Are you sure they asked? I responded yes! and Was excited to try this dish. As soon as I put the first bite in my mouth, it was a different type of heat I was not used to! It was really hot and had to eat my dish slowly with getting up a few times for drink refills! Who knew this place would kick my butt! So watch out with the red sauce, it is not for the bold! read more

To the manager of this location: Shout out to your great employee Christian: FIVE STAR for his EXCELLENT customer service skills My wife and I stopped by yesterday, Aug 5, to give this SoCal location a try. Right when we entered this establishment, we were greeted by Christian in a very pleasant and welcoming way. His interaction skills in regards to taking our orders were on point: courteous and informative. He even provided his personal input regarding the fries which convinced us to order some and give it a try As for toppings, he suggested to have some onions, bell peppers and jalapeños on the side. We opted for the "white sauce" to be drench on top of our orders instead of having it on the side. Christian rang us up and, to my surprise, the register did not give us the option to input a tip with our total. We did not feel right to not give gratitude by tipping for such an EXCELLENT customer service provided by Christian so we asked him where we can place our tip (cash). He mentioned that they actually do not accept tips but a Yelp review would suffice. We told him we will definitely leave a Yelp review and placed the money next to the register. FYI: the manager of this location was actually next to Christian so we mentioned to her how great Christian's customer service was Keep up the great work, bud! Food review: Background - first time my wife and I tried this establishment was in New York a few months ago...so the DELICIOUS TASTE is still fresh in our minds. Before visiting "The Big Apple", we watched YouTube food vloggers and read Yelp reviews before trying the hype of The Halal Guys. Ladies and gents, believe us when we tell you that the reviews and videos that we read/watched were TRUE!!! We tried to convince ourselves that it couldn't be that good but folks, we could not lie to ourselves. We were blown away!!! The "WHITE SAUCE" must have some addictive component that I cannot explain or describe but whatever it is...it was Fast forward to yesterday, Aug 5. As mentioned above, customer service from Christian was bomb!!! Unfortunately, we cannot say the same for the "white sauce" or the food overall. It is difficult not to compare our experiences in New York to what we had in Glendale. To put it simply: it was nothing to write home about. That is our HONEST OPINION, sorry Glendale location. read more

Halal Guys never disappoints, always quality food, service, and ambiance. I visit this particular location frequently since I work in the territory. Today, I was able to enjoy their chicken plate with all the toppings (I like spice on my food) ... Claudia was so kind and patient with all the guests and made everyone feel so special. The store is clean, smells great inside. If you're in the Glendale area, stop by and try the amazing food. read more

I ordered this first time to try today at work, and let me tell you that if was not worth spending money on. I ordered chicken wrap but I didn't like it at all. It only came with chicken and lettuce, which was add for mediterranean food ( no spread, no tomato). I also got a tabule on the side and that was not good either. Overall nothing tasted like mediterranean to me at all. So most likely would not order from them. Ok so I made the mistake of ordering from them again and once again disappointed. Let me make it clear IM NEVER ORDERING FROM THEM AGAIN. Let the pictures speak for themselves. The salad very dry and old, sandwich was like last time. let the pictures speak for themselves. NOTHING MEDITERRANEAN ABOUT THIS PLACE. read more

Horrible horrible food. I ordered the lamb and beef Gyro with tahini (they charge you a dollar for the sauce that comes on every Gyro at every other restaurant?) That's weird especially because they're tahini sucks! No flavor! At first I thought it was a bland sour cream! The pita bread sucked! It wasn't even warmed or grilled it was soft cold and soggy. I asked for lamb and beef and only got lamb and there was hardly NO MEAT on the Gyro whatsoever!!! what a huge rip off!!! it tasted like crap I took a few bites and threw it away. Waste of food waste of money. Also to mention it was COLD as well as my COLD SOGGY french fries. Not happy guys! read more

I first had Halal Guys in NYC years ago while on vacation with my family. We stopped at the original Halal Guys cart at 53rd & 6th right near our hotel and we were instantly hooked. Great quality, big tasty portions and that hot sauce.. ouch!! I love it so much. Years later, to our surprise, we heard Halal Guys were coming to California. We were psyched! We love the always friendly service at the Glendale location and we go there often when we want that Halal Guys experience. I usually get the chicken with onions and bell peppers and add the savory white sauce and fiery hot sauce to every single bite. (My mouth is watering just typing this!) Great fries too!! We're glad to have a little taste of NYC here in SoCal and I'm happy this little food cart has expanded to locations in many countries around the world. It's a great example of the American dream and it's delicious. Period. read more

The Halal Guys - Combo platter baby - Halal Near Me - Glendale, California

It's a refreshing yet odd eating Halal guys sober and during daytime hours. But don't let that ruin this NYC restaurants expansion into LA. The flavors are consistent enough with that of NYC to complete your cravings. One of the downsides is it's not hot and made on the spot, instead it's cooked and then put into heating containers. But the flavor and pita bread is still consistently good. Chicken wings are now served here! Make sure to order some, as they are not incorportated onto the menu board as of yet.They are dbl fried to perfection and they have 3 sauces to compliment it (bbq, a mildly spicy white and a spicy white sauce (the best)). read more

Finally got around to trying this place. everyone talks about it a lot. i ordered a combo and asked for half the amount of rice. i wish i had ordered with only lettuce now. the rice is kind of strange and seemed undercooked. the sauce is amazing and the meat was very flavorful and tender. i am not sure i would find myself craving this place but would be much better as a salad with the meats and sauces. i do wish it had more in it. there is only tomatoes and 2 slices of bread. Also the spicy sauce is incredibly spicy so eat with caution. read more

There has always been a east coast west coast battle of royals happening somewhere in the cities, and this east coast big apple gem is attempting to take over the Cali sunshine, but not quite. Have you ever at a dish somewhere outside of LA and it was amaz-balls then you have that same dish in LA and it was like your rainbow unicorn just fell off the bridge? That's what Halal Guys is like. Don't get me wrong, food is solid in my opinion and of course incomparable to the iconic Manhattan cart and stands. Read other reviews about the white sauce, but 4 stars for satisfying at least the nostalgia. Service is friendly every time I pay them the visit. read more

Delicious halal food! Very attentive and helpful staff. They do catered trays here too!!!

Fast. and delicious. The Halal Guys. A massive serving of amazing spit-fired meats over rice...but the true stars are the sauces. White (pumped up mayo type of delicious), BBQ (sweet Memphis style yummy) and hot (super hot-careful!)...I always get a combo plate with liberal helpings of white and BBQ sauces. Scoop it all together on their delicious pita and you will savour every bite. If you're after a quick bite this is the place for you! Food is great, service is great and the place is clean. Love Halal Guys! read more

My second try of Halal Guys in SoCal and I am still not feeling it. They do not have lamb. Just does not sound the same ordering chicken and gyro on rice. The plate does cost a few bucks more then it does in NY. Chicken and Gyro Platter, small - $8.95 - Everything was seasoned exactly like how I remember but it just did not taste the same. Tasted like fast food. Portion size for small is super tiny, pay the extra buck. 75 cents for extra sauce?!? In n Out does not even charge for spread and you guys are no In n Out! Red Sauce is still fire! I love this stuff. If it was not for the legend of the NY location, they would not survive in SoCal. The food just is not the same! read more

LOVE this location!!! I love Glendale overall but I can't get over the wonderful food around the area! This Halal Guys location specifically was so kind and generous with my friends and I over one weekend. We were asked for our order right away with big smiles and the guy taking our order was very accommodating and making sure our orders were exactly how we wanted! We had a bigger order but they made it happen! FOOD: - COMBO PLATTER: I love their combo platter!!! The best thing here for me and I always get it!!! I love their meats and of course their white sauce, mmm! - WINGS (NEW): I was a little skeptical of their wings at first to be honest but I have to try it before judging, right? So I did! They were super juicy and flavorful! The skin on the wings was crispy too! They have 3 sauces: mild, medium(?)/spicy, and a tad bit spicy bbq! I really enjoyed the mild and bbq sauce. The medium/spicy one was a little too spicy for me. Definitely give this a try whenever you're back! - Falafel: this was definitely not my thing... I wasn't so sure what it was at first but I'm sure it has nothing to do with how they make it or anything, it just wasn't for me haha. Overall, GIVE THEIR WINGS A TRY! :D and of course, their platters if you haven't already! read more

I am so happy to write this review of the associates closing The Halal Guys on Thursday March 21st. I came in as an UberEATS driver to pick up a customers order. I was informed there would be a small wait time as they were preparing fresh rice. I had no problem waiting because I have been a restaurant manager for many years all across Los Angeles and I understood it was almost closing time. The associate named Christian, was apologetic for the small wait time and offered me a cup of ice water, which was very gracious. He and the other associate Willie, were very busy preparing food, cleaning and performing closing duties, all while bidding exiting diners a thank you and goodnight. I inquired about The Hall of Fame hot sauce challenge and they were enthusiastic and offered me a sample of a sauce on a pita slice. I was thoroughly enticed and will bring my son in and he and I will partake in the challenge! Soon, my customers order was brought to me by Christian and I was so impressed with his polite, professional demeanor, that I felt it very necessary to compliment both he and Willie on their take charge attitudes and exceptional customer service. Because of this, I will be choosing The Halal Guys in Glendale as a dining option for my family and friends. We need more of what these two gentleman showed me tonight. They are great leaders who can train others to provide this excellent level of attention to the restaurant and care to their customers. A1! read more
