    This was very good! The ingredients are fresh and the meat was flavored well, some pieces of the chicken were dry but all the ingredients together made up for it. The staff was cordial & straight to the point. I'd go back.

    Baba Ghanoush, Regular Platter with White Sauce Packet To-Go & Hot Sauce Packet To-Go
    Catherine F.

    I ordered the Baba Ghanoush, along with the Regular Plate with half beef gyro and half chicken. For my plate, I included everything and added chopped green peppers and onions. The platter's main source of flavor came from the sauces, but the Baba Ghanoush did have a smokey flavor. Other than that, the workers were friendly, and service was fast. It's a good option for convenient food.

    Hiding their disgustingly old, non fresh food.

    5/21/24- Last time I visited this place the food was disgusting and not at all fresh. After arriving home and looking at it I felt betrayed by a supposedly reputable brand. I yelped this concern months ago to the corp folk and they failed terribly with follow up/ through. This store tricks you into buying their old stale and days old product by covering the food so you don't see the brown lettuce, watered down tomatoes, dried meats. My opinion, they choose not to manage food prep planning over quality. If you are brave enough to try them be sure and check your quality before leaving.

    The Halal Guys has really great Mediterranean food. We always order the Beef plate. With extra beef and vegetables. If you are looking for a healthy lunch or dinner look no further. The employees are very nice and the restaurant is very clean. We've ordered several times and ready for another visit. Thank you

    I didn't know this was here until I looked it up the chain on the web. New-ish location on a Saturday was just what was needed. I was coming from the office and was picking up lunch before the football games. The place was clean, staff friendly and very welcoming! Plenty of parking available and very easy to find! I ordered a couple of combo platters with heavy white sauce and extra pita. All was packaged well and it made the 24 mile trip across Dallas to the house. The flavors were wonderful! Clean and fresh! The prices were very reasonable.

    The first time I ate at a Halal Guys was food off their cart in New York City years ago. Back then, they were already transitioning from just having a cult following for their food, and had one brick and mortar location. The pace at which they've moved since then to international status is astounding and may I say fully deserved. In the world of fast casual dining, the consistency at which the food is prepared and delivered across multiple locations should be of great concern to their competitors. I was glad they opened one relatively recently in my current neck of the woods, and my only regret was that I could never find an opportune moment to try it out at Irving, until today. Right away, the friendliness with which the staff greets you makes you feel instantly at ease. The menu is not expansive, as well it should not be, because that allows them to really hone in on doing the basics well, and keep that consistency and save on food costs. The charm of sitting on the curbside, on a bench or just eating whilst standing next to the food cart in NYC cannot be replaced, but it doesn't hurt to be sat at a table either ;). The Irving location was clean and has plenty of room if you're bringing a group. My order was the combo rice bowl of gyro and chicken, which comes with lettuce, tomato and choice of sauce. White sauce obviously, and just a little bit of the red. I used to be able to handle the heat back in the day, but not anymore. The dish also comes with pita bread, and I added a side of falafel to my order, which is not part of the dish by itself. The falafels were the best I've had in all of my memory, and I've lived at one point in the Middle East, so I've had my fair share over the years. They were fried to perfection, crisp and not oily at all. The ground chickpeas inside had a smattering of coriander seeds and were light. I've had dense falafels at other places and they absolutely ruin the experience, and this place does it right. The chicken and gyros were moist and well-seasoned. I love the graphics on their drink cups - It pays homage to the humble beginnings of the carts they started with dishing out their food (I've attached a picture of the cup). Although, I have to call out Halal guys for inaccuracy, because the line depicted waiting for their turn to order at the cart on the drink cup was way too short. It should have been winding along the entire height of the cup.

    Regular Beef Gyro Platter with white sauce and hot sauce. Bussin!

    This place is my jam. I grew up in nyc, eating at the original food stand in midtown manhattan, and this place is right on par with the OG spot. Hot sauce and white sauce are fire, meat is tender and flavorful, and the customer service is always good. I prefer this location to the South lake one, they just seem to care a little more.

I follow the chef/owner on Instagram (@kafibbq), and the amount of effort and detail he puts into his craft has resulted in multiple return visits for me. This review is for my latest visit. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Kafi BBQ can be found in a shopping strip in Irving-Valley Ranch. Only opened Friday - Sunday, on my most recent Sunday visit around dinner time, Kafi was packed. The patrons were a great mix of families, BBQ lovers, and those looking for high quality Halal meats. Smoke was in the air. 1 Star. Service - The staff is super friendly and nice. Pro Tip - Go for lunch or before 6 before items are sold out. A few items were sold out on my most recent visit (my fault I arrived at 6:45) and the staff weren't aware of what was available, leading to some confusion, but they were so nice it didn't impact my meal. 1 Star. Food - By now, you've probably read or heard about Kafi's Wagyu Brisket. For me, I love following @kafibbq on Instagram so I can see what Salahodeen is cooking up. On this visit, it was the Brisket Sandwich. First off, the house baked bread roll is soft, but firm enough to hold Kafi's famous brisket on a pile of home made cole slaw and pickles. The result was one of the best BBQ sandwiches I've eaten. The bite was soft, smokey, crunchy, and tart (from the pickles). It was a special, and I'm not sure if Kafi will keep this on the menu, but I hope they do. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. It's pricey, but it's worth it. While the brisket is great, I suggest you follow them on Instagram to see what's cooking and plan your visit around the specialty items. 1 Star.

Suffice to say, it left a lasting impression on me, because here I am, almost a decade later. The atmosphere is everything a Texas BBQ joint should be, and having folks enter from the pit area was a stroke of genius. It really sets the expectation & mood. There's "decent" BBQ places here in Ohio, but there's no question Texas does it best, and Hard 8 is a true standout! (LOVE those charros!)

KKC has some of the best halal fried chicken I've had in the US, especially in the DFW area. This is one of those comfort meals you crave at 9 PM on a Tuesday that can't be beat. The ambiance is that of your average hole in the wall chicken joint. Overall I rate this place 8 s/10. ------------ The Zinger burger (basically a spicy chicken sandwich) is my go to order from here, a solid 8.5/10. They always put a huge chicken patty in there and a generous amount of sauce. You really can't go wrong. Their chicken itself is an 8/10, upgraded to 8.5 with the garlic sauce. They really got the spices down right. I would not recommend the Mac and cheese (5/10), it's very watery and lacked any flavor. The potato wedges were great though.

One thing to note is that some of the side dishes have different prices on online orders when you add them on to your entrees vs. adding them separately ($.99 + difference). **Average Dish Cost(s): Under $8. **Food: 3 Piece White Meat Meal ($9.28)-- I chose white meat ($.80) and extra biscuits ($1.89) which increased the price from $6.59. The chicken was extremely delicious. It tasted fresh despite my order being late in the day and the skin was crisp and seasoned so well that I ate all of it. Usually I'll peel the skin off and discard it, but not this time. The white meat was juicy and nothing pink was found. 10/10. Extra biscuits ($1.89)-- These biscuits were some of the best I've ever had. Their outward appearance didn't match how delicious they were. They were soft and had an essence of honey to them. Side Mashed Potatoes ($2.99)-- I admit I was hesitant to eat this because I expected more of a brown gravy, but these were amazing! Not too salty and they tasted fresh. **Seating: Looked to have regular table style seating that is closed off due to the virus issue. **Location: It's located next to a bunch of other establishments within a mini strip type of place.

I had this place Yelp bookmarked and I had not seen the Toyota Music Factory complex before now, so we drove the mile over. The place was empty at 2pm on a beautiful Saturday - I imagine it is quite busy when anything is playing at the TM venue. We ordered the southern fried chicken sandwich combo (to split) with fries. ($18 including tax and tip) The southern sandwich comes with pimento cheese and I find that hard to resist on any menu! - Splitting the sandwich was plenty of food to not leave you too stuffed. Casey was working the register - and maybe he was helping in the kitchen too. Our sandwich came out pretty quickly and was super hot. It was very crispy and a bit sticky, not too hot, very tasty!! Quite large too - the chicken thigh extended out quite a bit from the bun. The fries were Crinkle shape (my fav!), nice and hot, not too salty. FYI, with a combo you have a choice of only fries or mac and cheese (though there are other side options available al la cart). There was a card on the table to register to win $100 gift cert, so we both registered. Casey came by after to ask us to register, when we said we already had - he said we were entitled to a free banana pudding for doing so. Then he bought out TWO banana puddings. WOOT!! I think the 2nd pudding will be better tomorrow when the vanilla wafers have time to absorb more into the pudding. The free puddings got them the extra star. Casey was great - and really seemed to care that the few customers in the joint were happy and well taken care of. Bathrooms were clean. Couple suggestions: that they had ketchup as a "pump option" - rather than all individual packets. And boy oh boy I would have LOVED a DIET dr. pepper on tap (they had regular).
