I love their chicken wrap with white sauce. I became familiar with them when they used to be at Neshaminy Interplex once per week. I have also been to their Grant Avenue location. read more

I ordered a beef gyro as I usually do and the meat was not fresh. It must have been sitting there for a while because some of it was hard. I was very disappointed. read more

So good!!! Arrived quick, everything tastes fresh, and is such a comfort meal! Would've liked a bit more rice, but other than that it's delicious read more

The Halal Guys - Chicken Platter - Halal Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Orders on the app to pick up around dinner time. Doesn't look like food has been sitting around. Staff is nice. Food was perfect temperature and consistent with other locations. Parking is a plus when comparing to the other 2 locations in the city. read more

I ordered the chicken gyro bowl and as I had them in the past. They normally are pretty good minus the pricing. But this time. My chicken came out grey and not shredded. Not really thinking about it. I decided to eat it anyways. No flavor to the chicken. And a couple hours later I had food poisoning. Please improve. read more

Halal Guys sucks. It sucks in NY and it sucks here. Yes, they did have a great thing going on with the street carts back in 2009. But today's iteration of Halal Guys is just a shadow of what used to be. I'm old enough to remember that Halal Guys chicken would be fresh cooked on the grill right in front of you. It would be crispy, a little charred, juicy, and flavorful. It was so good! The line was literally around the corner any time I'd show up. Even at midnight or later, they were totally rocking it. Here, you're getting a pile of lightly cooked and weakly seasoned chicken that sits in a steam tray for 3 hours. Steamed chicken? Really? NOBODY WANTS STEAMED CHICKEN! The rest of the platter? Well, the accompanying salad (aka iceberg lettuce and chopped tomato) is a joke. Anyone who's had a Lebanese or Middle Eastern salad knows its a flavorful mix of vegetables, olives, oil, herbs and spices. The Halal Guys salad belongs in an old age home dining room. The rice was bright orange, flavorless and cold. There was nothing at all redeeming at all about this meal. Nothing. What an embarrassment. Eater's beware! Don't waste your time or money. read more

The Halal Guys - Not good. Chicken from a steam tray. Cold rice. Boring salad. - Halal Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This Halal Guys is great! Food is wonderful. And the service is great. I want to highlight the service here. I came to this location on a Thursday evening with my wife and 3 young children. We're from out of town, and wanted to eat something quick and simple. I downloaded the app to get a free side and drink. While I was ordering, I mentioned the coupon. Our server said don't worry about it, gave us the side and 2 drinks for free. He told me to save the coupon for next time. Later, another employee saw us eating and came by to offer a free cookie to the kids. He was so nice to them. Overall, great experience at Halal Guys. If I lived nearby, I would definitely come back again. read more

I was so happy to find out there was a Halal Guys coming to Northeast Philly. They're definitely of of my favorite fast casual restaurants. The far and away winner is their beef, which is nicely seasoned and a pleasant consistency. The chicken and falafel are not bad either. The only thing that's a bit 'meh' is their pita, which feels like an after thought (I'm referring to the pita in the platters). However that's not a big complaint and I'll happily eat one of their platters any day. Get it with extra white sauce, and if you're adventurous try a bit of hot sauce thrown in there. When you compare it to the other options in the same shopping center, it's clearly the best quality choice. read more

The Halal Guys - Falafel platter - tasty - Halal Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I love the Hala Guys! I used to go to their cart in Manhattan so I was happy to see a brick n mortar in this area. Ample food for the price and great service! read more

I drove about 7 miles to get here. Why? Well because the food on their Instagram looked sooooo good. It was also football Sunday so I wanted a good lunch to go with the game. I preferred this location because it was easy to park as it is in a strip mall. First impression, well the store was sort of clean. Not the worst but definitely could have been neater. The menu is straight forward. Chicken, falafel or beef? Anyway I got a falafel platter. The amount of food you get for the money seems okay. I was sad to find out from General conversation from the folks that work there that much of the things they offer are pre-packaged. The hummus and pita are and I saw the counter person plunk my frozen falafel into the oil. The counter person even admitted to me at one point that she had never even tasted hummus before. I found that strange. As for the quality of food I wasn't impressed. The bright orange rice was scary and the falafel were a let down. Maybe the other location are better. I gave them 2 stars because the people behind the counter were very nice and a the woman working there did ask me if I was a vegetarian so she could give me the right pita. read more

The Halal Guys - Halal Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We used to travel all the way to NYC, just for Halal guys, but these franchises pale in comparison. Literally any random food truck, or places like Zara's make way better platters. The meat was dry and flavorless, pitas were some what on the hard side. They were so stingy I couldn't even get a free glass for water for my toddlers. It's also overpriced compared, for an inferior product. read more

Delicious! Been here a bunch of times never had any issues. Staff always friendly. Great rewards app you get a free platter for your birthday but they give you plenty of time to use it. Combo platter is my go to. Love the sauces. Extra White & Hot. Try the bbq also for a different taste. Fries are tasty. Highly recommend. read more

Had the original halal from 53rd and 6th and now that I moved to PA, I'm glad they have it here. Good food, good service. Warning, their spicy sauce is HOT! I can handle spice and usually asks for 10 lines of it. That itself makes my scalp dripping sweat. Which I like. For someone new to it, I recommend getting the hot sauce on the side. read more

Impressed with how much I like this type of food now. I went in with my sister and her boyfriend to grab a quick lunch after we went to the gym. The staff was so friendly and quickly greeted us at the door. They told us of any specials and made recommendations since it was our first time there. I ended up getting a chicken gyro, and it was so filled with meat, it came with a side of rice and I ordered hummus and pita for a side- not knowing the pita and hummus would be huge. Way too much for me- so I shared it with my friends. The gyro was soft and warm and everything tasted so good. I was impressed with how clean this place was, how friendly the staff was and the manager even told us about special nights where they have a DJ- which is pretty cool- since I thought it was a fast food type chain restaurant. The manager/owner was very friendly and welcoming and invited us back again for when they were going to have the special events. I have yet to go back, but would soon if I have a taste for another gyro- I know where to go. read more

Their quality and portion sizes are decreasing, plus I just got food poisoning from my most recent experience. My stomach was not happy with the platter that I ordered from this location. I've been here before, and everything was up to par then. I'm not sure what's happened to them. The server was great, which is why they get one star, but making me sick and heave my lunch is unacceptable. read more

Crazy overpriced (like 3 times the cost of halal cart platter) and the quality is trash . Sorry guys, but I don't think you will last in a saturated market with a cheap , quality food cart virtually on every other corner! They're also STINGY- they charge you 0.99 cents per sauce packet (the size of average ketchup packets) - if im ordering the way that i usually like my halal, that comes out to like 6 bucks just in sauce packets! Sorry, I gave them a chance, not for me though. read more

I came back to the Halal guys yesterday after getting my nails done, and this time opted for a side of Falafel and a side of Hummus. You can get 2 falafel for $1.00 and the Hummus (and pita) for $2.99 I think it was. The side of hummus could feed an entire family of four during movie night that's for darn sure, there was so much squished into the container I had to take it home! The Manager (I believe) was so nice and so helpful, I was so impressed. I liked the place before, but kindness goes a long way. Updated my review from 4 to 5 stars. I'll be back soon! read more

I am not someone that craves Halal food often but when I do, I go all out. I went to the new location the other day and I thought the food was really good. The owner was very friendly and made sure my table had a great visit. We were served a couple items for dinner. My friends and I split a gyro platter, the falafel platter, a speciali french fry platter, and a chicken sandwich. Everything was delicious and you could tell it was freshly made. It is a great take out place if you're looking for something on the go. Prices were also reasonable for the portion size you get. I split everything with three other people and we all took home some leftovers. read more

great food! after a heavy gym day the beef gyro bowl was amaze! even got a second one for a meal later on: will definitely be back read more

I had to check out the Halal Guys that opened up near my home. Having been to enough of these franchises, I knew not to go in with high hopes. Maybe it's the turnover, but the Halal Guys cart has really juicy meat and it is perfectly shredded. At the store, you end up with somewhat dryer meat and large chunks of meat. I have not been a fan of this, but this is the case at KOP, Philly Chinatown, East Brunswick and now the NE Philly location. The ambience and service is both very good. Here you do not get the white sauce at the table, but they are more than happy to come out with the bottle and reload your platter to your taste. The protein (meat) content is better than East Brunswick location. Overall, check it out once. I am not sure if I will return. It's just not the same as the 53rd Street cart in NYC read more

First time trying this restaurant for some falafel. Ordered 2 falafel platters to go and picked them up at 4:33 pm ( 10 minutes after it was ready. This was the worse falafel we ever had. Dry burnt and overcooked. Mixed with the rice there was no taste at all. Not even saved by the white sauce. The pita was doughy Only the lettuce was decent. We will not be coming back. Completely not what we expected. Go elsewhere for real falafel!! read more

The Halal Guys - Falafel platter - Halal Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Not only is the food delicious, my fave is a regular combo platter with all the toppings, but the manager at the Grant Ave location went out of his way to ensure I got my dinner after my GrubHub delivery driver marked my food as delivered when it hadn't even been picked up. This kind of thing is what inspires customer loyalty! read more

Wow! Street meat (my guilty pleasure) in a fast casual restaurant setting. I ordered the small gyro platter and got a lot of food! The bowl case jammed packed with rice, gyro meat, lettuce and onion. I got it topped off with white sauce and the hot sauce (beware: the hot sauce is VERY SPICY). The food is hot temperature wise as well. Overall, very tasty and delicious and a generous portion! I'm pleased! The restaurant is kept clean, and the employees are pleasant. The employee who rang me up offered me the membership card (free!) and explained what I get with it without asking him- good sales guy. I will be back when I'm in this area! read more

My area has been on a roll lately with all the new places opening up around me. I have heard of the Halal guys carts when they originated in NY and was a bit excited to hear one opened real close by. Being not a super adventurous eater when it comes to other cuisines, I figured beef, chicken and the veggie accoutrements couldn't be bad. Nice hefty platter and looked super fresh, the meats were cooked perfect.The white jizz like sauce was real tasty. I surprised myself and enjoyed it. Next time I will see if a option to add more meat, cause more meat is always a great topping for meat. I will for sure give it a another go round soon. read more

The Halal Guys - Getting expensive! - Halal Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I went to try the limited edition spicy lamb, which is available until July 21st in select Halal Guys locations. I'm a New York native and a huge fan of Halal Guys - particularly their street cart on 53rd street. When I heard they got rid of lamb off their menu to replace with beef gyro, I was disappointed... I never thought the beef gyro matched up to the lamb and it was always over cooked when I got it, so I now usually go with their chicken only over the combo. When I heard they had a limited edition spicy lamb, I got really excited! I chose the large/regular platter of spicy lamb. I asked how the feedback has been on it and the gentleman that took my order said that everyone loves it. My first bite of it was... WOW, this is some good lamb! It is nothing like the ground lamb that they used to serve... these are real pieces of lamb with some delicious medium fat and taste to it. The lamb is not spicy at all though. I would come back for the spicy lamb before July 21st and I hope they come back with it again! A downside to my visit was the price and portion. Generally the store locations are a little more expensive than the carts, but still very reasonable prices. Now they're both expensive. Chicken/beef/combo platters are $8.99 and the spicy lamb cost $10.99 plus tax... And the portion I got only filled HALF of what I would normally receive. The gentleman that took my order was very friendly to me and all customers, but he was NOT friendly with his food portions. I started off with very little lettuce and tomato, so I thought I would get more rice and spicy lamb, but I got smaller portions of those as well. Halal guys(and any other halal cart) have always been known for their delicious food with good portions at a cheap cost, but I received the total opposite. This is the second time at this location that the food portions were small - this time being too noticeable... definitely a turnoff after spending $12. read more

Background: I went to Temple, and had an awesome halal food truck where they knew me and they were so great and everything was delicious. I miss it all the time, I honestly hope those guys are doing well and I think about going back just to visit them and get lunch. I'm not crazy, you're crazy and you don't know my truck. Anyway - I was in the area and figured why not get my halal fix in. This is solid halal, it's fine. It's not the best you'll have, so as long as your expectations are realistic, you should enjoy this. I always go chicken over rice with more salad than rice, all the veggies and white/hot sauce. Falafel were pretty good too. Worth a shot. read more

Over priced. Lettuce is always not fresh. If you want authentic halal food try a food truck.

The gentleman who helped us today was super friendly! Great service and the food was good. Will definitely be back

I was excited to see a location open a little closer to my house as I usually travel to Center City to get Halal Guys. I really enjoyed the food from here and would definitely get it again. The chicken was flavorful but the beef seemed a little overcooked and in crumbles. The white sauce is amazing as usually. The portion size and value is good, as well. I had the combo chicken, beef, and rice platter and it was more than enough for one meal. I had leftovers. Service was great and very welcoming. read more

The Halal Guys - Halal Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I love The Halal Guys, and this location was on point with all the others. I did stand in line for a long time and they appeared to be backed up, but they were apologetic. This venue also had more seating than some of the others I've been to. I also noticed that they didn't keep a "sauce fridge" like they do at the locations back home, so you have to get that part taken care of at the counter. You could tell the big guy in the blue shirt (manager?) was genuinely a good dude and he really kept the vibes positive in there. The veggies were fresh like all the others and the meat was flavorful. Of course the white and red sauces still exist, and for that reason alone the bowls are great. I come up to North Philly about three times a year, and I'm sure this is not the last time I will visit this location. Highly recommended. read more

They aren't even open yet, but set up a sample table in the LA fitness to give members a little sneak peak of what's to come. OH MY GOD. So flavorful!! I can no wait until they're open. It's going to be hard not to grab a bite every single time I leave the gym. The hot sauce adds such a nice flavor and the white sauce compliments the heat, cooling it down a little while adding additional flavors. Halal Guys, you have my attention and I can't wait to be a regular at your establishment! Also, I'm very proud to be your first yelp review! :) read more

I like this place. The food is always fresh. employees although brand new have been trained to be friendly. There Menu is very Basic. Gyros, Falafel. Platters with Beef or Chicken. Their Fries are great, especially when you mix their white sauce and barbecue sauce together( it was their suggestion) I only wish they had traditional Lamb. More White sauce Please ! read more

So angry. Ordered this off of Grubhub, ordered an extra white sauce. Not only did I not get extra white sauce, I didn't get ANY SAUCES! Every platter comes with one hot and one white. How the hell am I supposed to eat this?!?! Also there was barely any meat and I got a combo of chicken and beef. Highly highly disappointed. Might not come here ever again read more

Was traveling through the area. Stopped for take out lunch. Very courteous and hospitable staff. Food was good for a middle eastern take out. Would certainly go to this place in the future if in the area. It is a chain, hence I suspect that food will be good no matter which franchise you go to. read more

First time here since they opened up in the Northeast, their menu was very minimal and I was disappointed that the only options they had for meats were beef and chicken... no lamb! I ordered a regular platter w/ beef & falafel. I also thought that the platters were a little pricey at around nine dollars (soda is extra) when you can go to the carts or even an authentic Middle Eastern spot in the city for less money. The food tasted ok, more spicy than anything else; especially the falafel also, Didn't like the rice; it was bland & chewy. Pitas weren't authentic; saw them come out of a plastic bag and served cold. One good thing; the workers were very friendly, place was clean! read more

The food is good, however the staff had their masks on their chins. Also none were wearing hair covers. I called to place my order they said to come in because they were to busy to take orders. That is against the COVID19 PA rules. I won't be back because I didn't feel safe. read more

Newly opened halal guys in the northeast. Very great hospitable employees- one lady was walking around asking how the food was and offering extra white and hot sauce. That's very rare to see at a fast food chain. Food was on point :) you can get chicken , gyro or combo platter or bowl. There's also lettuce and tomato and rice. Highly recommend !!!! read more
