    Menu 2/2 (as of April 2026)
    Diana L.

    I just finished eating lunch at Halal Guys for the first time earlier today, 4/30. We stopped by at around 1:15 PM for lunch. Surprisingly I've heard so much about Halal Guys, but have never tried the food. I ordered the Regular Platter with Beef Gyro $15.95 price as of April 2026 (not including tax). This platter is served with protein of your choice, rice, lettuce, and tomatoes along with your choice of toppings and their famous white and hot sauce. Note, there is also an additional charge of $1 for hummus. The toppings I got were jalapenos, and I ended up just getting the white sauce. It also comes with a few slices of pita, which were a little dry. I asked for additional white sauce on the side, but unfortunately, I was charged an additional $0.60 (so just be mindful that sauce on the side is not free lol). The meal was decent, pretty tasty, not too salty, but not my favorite. I should have asked for even more white sauce on my actual platter, since the sauce and side sauce were actually not enough for me haha. Parking: Located in a busy lot. We were able to get a parking spot close to the shop. Tip: You can also place your order online if you're in a rush! https://order.thehalalguys.com/menu/halal-guys-long-beach All in all, I'd be willing to come back, but it's not my first choice.

    Beef gyro and chicken Regular Platter with onions
    Alvin H.

    Halal guys, this will be the closest Halal guys to Orange County. Also I frequented this place a lot when I was a student at CSULB, even taking the city bus to arrive here. I also came here when I was an EMT in this city with my partner in the ambulance. What times. This concept of Halal guys were so interesting to study from watching youtube of the carts in New York, I had to try it. I was pleasantly surprised by efficiency of establishment as the ordering is like Chipotle, except it's very streamlined. The service is efficient when they ask you things. The ambiance of this store is tiny. I always go for the mixed proteins of Gyro and Chicken with onions. Mixing it together with the white sauce and a touch of red sauce and BBQ, it becomes umami in my palate. The orange rice, which initially looked off putting, became succulent when mixed with the tomatoes, onions, and salad with the meats. The portion size is huge -- enough to eat for 2 servings. Watch out for the red sauce though... it is extremely spicy. Just get a dash of this. However, recently, they switched their covers from clear to the thin aluminum covers, which I didn't like. Also, with taxes, it is about 17-18 dollars! It is expensive, hence I only come here maybe twice a year? Anyways, I recommend this place for the food and flavor. It's just pricey in my opinion, hence, 4 stars.

    After shopping this afternoon, I ordered a chicken platter (no tomatoes, no onions) and felt excited to my meal. While it looked good, the chicken and rice were disappointingly bland. Bland rice is not terrible, but the protein should have been flavorful. Even with the hot sauce, the chicken didn't cut it. Service was great - each cashier was genuinely warm and helpful. A few customers were seated and enjoying their food, I just wasn't one them.

    Lamb & Beef Gyro Sandwich

    Another Long Beach letdown. My food showed up ice cold, wrapped in tinfoil, and the meat was chopped so poorly it honestly looked like dog food. I had high hopes for this place, but this was beyond disappointing. Usually when you think of a gyro, you think of that big spinning rotisserie where they slice the meat fresh right off. That's how I've had it for years. I've never had someone chop it up like they're feeding a five-year-old. Big mama is hungry, not looking for baby food. And the pita bread? Definitely giving grocery store. Nothing about it felt authentic or fresh, and it literally broke in half the moment I took a bite. I called and spoke with the manager, JJ, and instead of trying to make it right, he told me I had to go through DoorDash for a refund. That completely missed the point. I wasn't looking for money, I was looking for a fresh sandwich. A real response would've been: "Hey, come back tomorrow, we'll make you a brand new sandwich." That's basic customer service. Instead, I'm left with inedible food at 10 at night

    Beef and Chicken Platter

    Always love the chicken and beef platters here flavorful, filling, and never disappoint. Gave it 4 stars only because the hot sauce isn't as bold as before and I miss the unlimited garlic sauce, but it's still a solid favorite.

    First time ever trying this place and it was really good. Ive never personally had Mediterranean food but this was honestly super good. They do not cheap out on the meat here, my gyro was dropping meat and the white sauce here is really good. Definitely give this place a shot.

    We just popped in here for some quick takeout, it did not take long and was very easy. Hard not to like their food as everything is delicious and quite savory. I enjoyed my small chicken platter, it was almost more than I could eat, the large would easily satisfy two people. Kind of a small place with pretty basic ambience, but lends itself to take out very nicely. Bottom line is the food was delicious!

    Located across from the Planet Fitness, it's a good place for after a workout. My buddy invited me over to gym with him so we hit this place for some good food afterwards. The sandwich wrap is good. Even the fries. Not the cheapest. But still decent enough.

    Regular Platter. Half chicken. Half beef. Add hummus. 10/10.

    Came here after a workout with a friend. I've never had The Hala Guys before. So, first timer here. Estuardo was great from the start. He greeted us with a smile. We told him it was our first time here. He explained the menu to us patiently. Estuardo helped me with my platter. Another gentlemen helped my friend out with hers. Both guys were awesome and helpful. Both warned us about how spicy they're sauce was. Just to confirm, it is spicy so please be careful. I ordered the Regular Platter with half chicken and half beef. Added hummus for $1. I also added jalapenos and bell peppers for no additional cost. The platter comes with lettuce, tomatoes, and rice. I give the platter a 10/10. I highly recommend this place and I'll be back.

    A way better alternative to chipotle or CAVA! Halal guys has it down with their guaranteed freshness of ingredients and the FLAVOR. Who cares about pound town go to FLAVOR TOWN with halal guys!! The white sauce & hot sauce is where it's at. I just shake the entire bowl up honestly. It's the best thing ever. I get a combo bowl of chicken and beef with onions lettuce tomato and jalapeños then just douse it in white sauce and hot sauce. I knocked a star because the service was subpar. The workers were defintely unwelcoming and I felt like a burden just for ordering food??? Like whaaaaaat. WEIRD. Anyways it costs nothing to smile or be kind. The place is a good size, you can sit inside to enjoy your meal!

    Regular Platter French Fries Pita Bread 4 - Pieces Falafel
    Tracey N.

    Love the food here, it is filling and affordable. I find myself craving it! The sauce really makes it. Fries should be an alternative base option if you don't want rice, but I was able to substitute it for an additional charge at least. 100% recommend this as the fries were really good and crispy! I wish there were more vegetable options though as the salad is quite limited. The falafel was a little dry too, and the hummus was not great at all, it was so watery and tasted strange.

    They still have an hour left of closing. Had my food at 10 pm already. Whenever I came around that time they always had the chairs down so customers can eat. We had asked if we can eat and put the chairs back up ourselves and they still said no? I've never had this happen. Didn't even think coming before an hour closing was considered bad especially near a CSU. They even ran out of water cups apparently. He seemed like he just wanted us out. There was no outdoor seating either so I just went home to eat. Sucks to eat cold food and won't come to this location again. Food is bomb though when you eat it right away.

    We stopped by here on a weekday because it was one of the dog-friendly restaurants near Rosie's Dog…read moreBeach. They have multiple outside seating areas where you can sit with your doggo. Ambiance (5/5): Although we didn't sit inside, it was super cute, with classy boho vibes. The restroom was clean and well-decorated (although, not gonna lie, I don't know how I felt about the big mirror facing the toilet). The outside patio area was airy, and although right by the street, I didn't find it unpleasant. Service (3/5): It was just so-so. They sat us down quickly, gave us our menus and checked on us maybe twice. It wasn't super busy, but we had to wait to ask for things like extra plates and water for our dog. Food Overall (5/5): Food was delicious. We got the beef shawarma lunch special and got fries for the side (extra charge) and also the chicken shawarma lunch special with the hummus side. Beef Shawarma (4/5): It had a nice toasty flavor, perhaps from the spices, and the pickled veggies really complemented it. My only complaint was that I wish it had a bit more of the white sauce (maybe adding more hummus would have helped). It was also strangely a bit watery, maybe from the veggies. Overall, it was still a yummy wrap. Chicken Shawarma (5/5): The chicken shawarma tasted more balanced to me overall. I don't recall the meat being dry, although I did also slather it with a bit of hummus. I thoroughly enjoyed this wrap. Fries side (5/5): Their fries are made in house and it tastes so fresh. It was crispy on the outside yet still gooey and moist on the inside. I'm not sure if they make their own ketchup too, as it looked clumpier and tasted really fresh too. The kids gobbled this up. Hummus and pita (5/5): It came with a generous amount of both hummus and pita. The hummus was well flavored and blended, and it really complemented everything on the table. The pocket pita bread was not what I had in mind (I'm used to thicker ones), but the kids really loved it overall. Ice cream (4.5/5): We ordered two scoops from the dessert menu. They were both really thick, creamy and almost chewy like liquidized mochi. It was a very interesting texture but nonetheless a nice tasty treat on a hot day. I much preferred the vanilla bean, as the pistachio tasted and looked rather artificial (and I'm a pistachio ice cream lover). This place had so many to-go orders during the afternoon we were there. I can see why. Food is super fresh and tasty. I think we will be back the next time we are visiting.

We were the only ones who had arrived during the late morning. Service was good; we got a good recommendation for an appetizer. The bathroom was also clean. I ordered the lamb kebab, and we got the beef kebab entree and cauliflower (appetizer). The cauliflower had a lot of flavor because the sauce included garlic, cilantro, lemon, and tahini. It was a little too citrusy for my liking, but my family enjoyed it. The lamb was nicely tender and flavorful. In comparison to the beef kebab (grilled filet mignon), the lamb (top sirloin) tasted less chewy. While I didn't have a lunch special wrap, I heard that the kefta (mixture of ground beef and lamb) was very juicy and flavorful. The bowl and entree had house salad, hummus, rice, garlic and tahini sauce, and pita bread. These were all very fresh and delicious. While the bowl has less meat, the other sides can compensate to make you full. The entree is possibly shareable for at most two people.

I attached a video of the view inside. We paid about $50 with tip for the three things and truly it was a good experience. If you like Bloody Marys I would say to come try because we noticed nearly every table getting served one.
