    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 don't recall ever getting the rice before, so I was really glad to try it. It was light and fluffy and seasoned just right. The chicken was so warm and had all the yummy earthy flavors that I loved, which went great with the bread and hummus! I love the fries, because although they are simple, they've always been hot and fresh out the fryer!!! Seasoned just right as well. This is a small little locally owned restaurant, I've never seen a ton of people inside at once, but I always see a ton of folks coming in for takeout orders. Anytime I'm nearby, I will always stop by here!

We ate pretty early around 5pm, and it was very empty, which was nice because it meant our food came fast. We tried the chicken shawarma bowl and the beef shawarma bowls. The food tasted delicious, but did seem a little less fresh, like maybe it had been sitting for a while, which would make sense because it wasn't exactly prime dinner hour yet, so maybe perhaps left from lunch? Either way, the portions were great, enough to take home leftovers. And the flavor of the meat was superb. They were so warm and kind to our family, especially our two year old. I appreciated the thoughtful touches the staff added to make our dining experience special. It definitely gave the cozy feeling of a mom and pop diner but mediterranean style! I loved it. We will definitely be coming back.

I came in for the soft opening after weeks of renovations, and while the name and menu are the same, everything else is not. This is not the same restaurant. If you knew the original owner, you would know he created something special. It felt like you were being welcomed into his home. He took pride in the food and in making sure every customer felt well cared for. Appetizers always came out first with some friendly conversation, and you could feel the care he put into every detail. That experience is gone. First, I waited 30+ minutes for a dish that normally takes 15, even on a busy night. When I left, a couple who had ordered before me were still waiting for their wraps! Second, the food has changed. The chicken shawarma and gyro recipes are different, and the gyro was actually cold. The sauces, which used to be the highlight, are not the same. The red sauce is gone, and the garlic sauce tastes different. The rice is different. The salad is now a small pile of romaine, onion, cucumber, black olives, and corn with no dressing. Overall, the new recipes feel like a massive downgrade from the original recipes. Lastly, I told the host I would be dining inside, but my food was served in plastic containers. Meanwhile, a nearby group that appeared to be staff or family was served plated food that looked noticeably fresher and better prepared. It honestly felt like their food was prioritized over paying customers, which may have explained the delays. The menu photos have not changed, but they no longer reflect what is actually being served. That feels misleading, especially for customers like me who were excited for the reopening. Very disappointing.

They started us with warm, crispy bread and a yogurt-based dip that was quite flavorful. I ordered the lamb shish kebab platter (well done), and we also tried the chicken shish kebab platter. Both came with buttery rice, a fresh salad drizzled with olive oil, and yogurt sauce. The chicken was tender and properly seasoned, but the lamb was the highlight. Lamb can easily turn dry or overly gamey if not handled right, but this was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor even when cooked well done, exactly how a good shish kebab should be. I skipped dessert this time, though they offer a few options, and I noticed what appeared to be a buffet setup, which I'm curious to try next. Overall, a solid, well executed Mediterranean meal. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.
