    The Halal Guys in Orlando delivers a hearty and shareable meal experience. The portions are generous, ensuring you get a satisfying meal. The food quality is commendable, and it's a taste of New York's famous street food right here in Orlando. No wait on a Saturday afternoon. Friendly staff. Good parking and large dining area. The menu offers a range of options, and the signature platters are definitely worth trying. It's a great spot to grab a quick, filling meal with friends or family. If you're in the mood for shareable and tasty street-style cuisine, Halal Guys in Orlando is a solid choice that delivers both flavor and portion size.

    SETH was AWESOME!!!!! he knew that it was my first time here and gave me all kinds of really cool recommendations. Not only him but the other guy and Girl on staff were absolutely wonderful as well and provided me great customer service. I think I found my new favorite food spot in town And I can't wait to come back again!

    Hardly any white sauce but the falafel platter was good!

    My husband and I drove 30 minutes to check out Halal Guys! We always hear about the original halal guys in NYC and how famous it is, we decided to check out locally. For the prices, I think the portion sizes are pretty good and filling especially when it comes to the platter options. (I personally don't think it's worth getting the "Sandwhich" offerings as you get a smaller portion.) I got the falafel small platter. I added onions for free. The platter comes with pita, rice, tomatoes, and lettuce. You can add premium toppings for an extra charge. The falafel comes in 2 flavor options: honey sriracha and regular. I tried both but thought they both taste the same. I decided to try the red sauce on the side as it supposedly is super spicy so they gave me a packet and I told them to add the white sauce in the platter. In terms of taste, the falafel platter was delicious. I thought everything tasted fresh and falafels were nice and crispy! The rice was soft and had a lot of flavor. My issue was the lack of white sauce that they put on my platter. They just put the white sauce on the falafel portion of the platter instead of putting it through out. The original halal guys cart in NY would put the white sauce evenly instead of in one area based on the videos I've seen. Due to the lack of sauce, my platter felt dry. I then had to resort to using sriracha that I had in my fridge. To management: Don't be stingy with the sauces when customers are paying over $30 for food. Overall, I would definitely be back and next time, I'll ask for extra white sauce!

    Overrated Franchise. So let me start off by saying I highly anticipated trying this place out. I heard about the yellow carts in the streets of NYC and saw the amount of food they pack in that foil tin round container. It is pretty much a Halal Chicken and Rice bowl. The tin bowl consists of yellow saffron looking rice with meat options of grilled chicken or gyro beef. Lettuce and Tomatoes and either the famous white sauce or the very hot spicy red sauce as a topping with naan pita wedge slices. The most popular sauce drizzle is the white sauce or the red sauce. You can have the option of having both kinds of meat in the bowl. So upon entering the waterford lakes location - I notice on a weekend this place was empty. Kinda odd for a Saturday for a place thats supposed to be good and popular be so empty. So reading the menu and seeing the 2 size platters available - Small and Regular its about $1 difference. I opted the small size. I assumed the reason being they would pile up the rice and meat so forth. I was WRONG! The lady who prepped my platter made sure the ladle of rice was leveled and she did 2 scoops. She did 1 scoop of chicken and 1/2 scoop of lettuce and tomatoes. Lettuce and Rice is CHEAP. Why are they portioning this bowl as if it costs so much to ladle more rice? Or add more tomatoes and lettuce. When she drizzled the white sauce it was barely covering my rice platter. I had to ask to add more sauce. For $10.99 I get more food at CHIPOTLE! When I carried my platter it did not feel heavy at all and I knew I would still be hungry. So as far as the food - You have to mix everything except the Pita pcs like its a salad. This is why the white sauce is important to have as far as drenched so the whole platter have this umami taste LOL This platter is pretty much Chicken and Yellow rice LOL and they add lettuce and tomatoes. Its good but this stuff you can make at home. The rice didn't have a taste to where its memorable not brothy taste enough for me and the chicken reminds me of those chicken pcs when Taco Bell use to use chunks of chicken for the chicken tacos and burritos. The white sauce didnt impress me at all. It tasted like a yogurt sauce thats amped up it tasted bland as well. I expected the white sauce to be the highlight of the platter but unfortunately this whole experience eating this was a low blow. I ate the food and was still hungry. And my expectations from this franchise was upsetting. Spending that amount of money and I was still hungry was very disappointing. Never again that I will come back and support. Maybe when I am in NYC I can try out the carts instead. Hopefully they will give me more portions and the taste is more authentic! Halal Guys you were a let down in Florida!

    Chicken platter

    Second time coming to this location, it's in a great area. Waterford Lakes Shopping is right across the street. For the most part seems like it's rather quiet. The food was pretty good. Got a small chicken platter, with that being said it comes with a side of tomatoes, lettuce, and rice. There are other add on, like white sauce which is a must! Place was clean and service was very friendly and quick.

    Regular Platter beef Gyro and don't forget the Fries.

    Love the Halal Guys love the customer service and food always on point!! Also the place clean and spacious.

    Beef platter

    This is the second time I have been here. This time I ordered the beef platter. It was a little dry and something was missing. It was bland even with the white sauce. I added the hot sauce which was really hot. I was disappointed, maybe next time I will order the chicken. Service was fast. Price was moderate. Ambiance- casual

    Chicken Platter
    Andrea R.

    Ordered to-go on a Monday night for dinner. The chicken platter was too salty, to the point the lettuce didn't even help offset the salt. The chicken sandwich was soggy with the pita bread so dry it tasted like it was going stale. It was not an enjoyable meal but we ate it because we were starving after a long day of working overtime. It has been a while since I've ordered from them and the sandwiches were well-made in the past year. However, I don't think I'll be ordering again anytime soon due to quality of tonight's meal.

    Got the platter the food was good! Love it definitely recommend and the people are there to help you if u dont know what to get good eats def see my self coming here again!

    To go order, Combo (Chicken and Gyro) Platter
    Veronica W.

    Very tasty and reasonably priced. Good portions and the red sauce is SPICY! Friendly service, fast, indoor table layout is weird and hampers lining up to order and socially distance. I have added to my favorites so I will be back. **Wanted to add an update** - my friends who are from California and live in Kissimmee LOVE this place! Why didn't they tell me? They have some explaining to do! Someone mentioned it was "very NYC' and yes, you're absolutely right. Another friend who lives closer lived in New York for a long time while playing on Broadway and we used to go out quite frequently for a bite at a local halal place. This place HAS TO BE GOOD if my sister the traveling doctor from Missouri loves it! And just so you know, I drove from Melbourne, Florida for this and they did not disappoint.

    To quote the fabulous Tina Turner, "we don't need another Gyro!" I disagree and the Halal Guys have pulled it off with their new Plant Based version. This counter service restaurant typically serves up chicken and meat gyros, but for a limited time (and hopefully permanent), they have a plant-based option. Even the tzatziki is plant based. I ordered one gyro and much to my surprise, they shaved the "meat" from the rotating spit, similar to a real gyro. Awesome! They built me a massive gyro which I will say was messy to eat, but they had unlimited napkins so I was able to clean up accordingly. This sandwich ate like a real gyro with lettuce and tomato (I added onion too). The meat could have had a bit more seasoning, but the consistency was pretty close to real gyro meat which is semi-processed anyway. Thanks for putting this out there and keep the innovations coming. Finally, there's something for the vegan other than falafel! I'd probably get a rice bowl next time as it may be easier to eat, and better for take out/delivery.

Service & Ordering Ordering started off fine, and one employee was genuinely helpful. Unfortunately, the rest of the staff interactions were the opposite. The drink options are extremely limited -- mostly bottled items -- and what's pictured on the menu is not what you actually receive. Misleading Drink Advertising I paid over $3 for the branded Talkin' Tacos water shown on the menu. Instead, the employee handing out food dropped two tiny Pure Life bottles, one of the cheapest waters you can buy. My wife and I were shocked. This felt like false advertising and set the tone for the rest of the visit. Incorrect Order & Staff Attitude My food came out with sour cream, which is not listed as a topping for the item I ordered. I don't eat dairy, and when I pointed it out, the employee grabbed the tray, walked off, then came back and shoved it in front of me while insisting "this is what you selected." Completely unprofessional. The helpful employee stepped in and offered to remake it, but by then the experience was already ruined. Food Quality The food itself was bland and lacked flavor. My son barely ate his meal and said it wasn't good, which says a lot about the overall quality. Overall Value Between the misleading drink presentation, rude staff interaction, incorrect order, and mediocre food, Talkin' Tacos simply isn't worth the price. With better taco options nearby, I won't be returning to this location.
