Hidden Gem don't sleep on the mom and pops on Rockville pike like this one. Big serving!

Very pleased with our uber eats order from this location! Five stars. We ordered two rice platters with chicken + gyro + extra white sauce. Food was delicious! They were also very generous and included extra sauces and hot sauce packets with our order. Was surprised and happy to see this as we have gotten jipped alot recently with other restaurants in the area (they always skimp on sauces). Thank you Halal Guys!! read more

The Halal Guys - Middle Eastern Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Be careful with this place. They'll charge extra for random toppings such as jalapeno and others just so your bill comes out higher if you get a smaller bowl. You ask them why and they are very rude. They tell you it's written on the board, as if you should know it already. I told the guy with the attitude that you can keep that bowl he already made and went next door to the Thai place. Thank you but there are better choices for halal bowls than place. read more

Good food, fast service. Atmosphere could be warmer. But food is good, and they're generous on the protein, so 4 stars. read more

Always friendly and great food. My go-to for gyro and middle eastern food. I've never had a bad experience here. But their red spicy sauce is too spicy.... Not that I'm complaining but low key, if you don't like someone and want to spike their food with something spicy... their red sauce is perfect... and while I may or may not have done that with my children... you can't prove anything... SUCK IT CPS! I kid... i kid... read more

Way better than naz halal don't know why the halal guys are getting replaced ..definitely my go to halal place

I really needed something to eat late at night and also didn't feel like cooking. I decided to try out the Halal Guys after watching my colleague practically vacuuming up the food from earlier on. I appreciated how quickly the order was ready. Their food didn't disappoint! I am used to eating spicy food so I felt they were under-seasoned and bland. I preferred the chicken instead of gyro meat because I thought it tasted less gamey. I also loved their shawarmas. I wouldn't mind ordering again with just chicken. I would add extra cucumbers and tomatoes on my own. Perhaps some extra mint leaves. Their white sauce was delicious as well. Looking forward to ordering from them again. Rounding up a 3.5 to a 4 because of the otherwise solid service despite it nearly closing time and honoring my request of not adding lettuce. read more

Just the average halal chain. Nothing that would bring me back for a second time. The flavor was fine and the portion size also good, so no real complaints. I was totally co fused when ordering and the staff didn't really help with that . Just an fyi, Seating for any group over 4 is just not possible here. read more

It is one of the best gyro places that I have ever been to. During lunchtime, there was not much traffic in the parking lot, which I found to be a plus for me. I found the store to be very clean and well organized, with a great selection of food and drinks to choose from. It was not overwhelming to order and made it easy for me to make a choice. I found the staff to be okay. They weren't very friendly but they weren't rude either. In addition to the food of the flavor being amazing, the portions of the food were very generous as well. Overall, it was a great experience. The food was delicious and the prices were reasonable. The service was adequate and the place was very clean and organized. read more

The Halal Guys - It was a good bowl but forgot what I ordered. I think it is #1 chicken gyro bowl. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

It has been awhile, since I ordered from The Hallal Guys and I was in the area, so I stopped by. The counter helper was so nice, but my order fell short. First, of all I ordered felafel and somehow I ended up with chicken. To make things worse, the chicken was dull, dry, and overcooked. I asked for only a little rice and more salad, but somehow got a large serving of rice. The lettuce did not taste fresh. I was very disappointed. The side of hummus was very good. It was creamy and delicious. The pita bread was fresh and warm. I hope that The Hallal Guys can straighten out there issues. This location needs some help and attention. I hope they improve. read more

Great fast service. I ordered pickup via Uber eats and my order was ready for me when I walked through the door. I'm very happy with my order. I got the gyro, chicken and falafel platter. It was delicious. They hooked me up with plenty of white sauce and hot sauce packets. I even have more for another meal. I love that they also have white sauce easily accessible on the counter in a refrigerator for your convenience. This location is small with small indoor seating but it does the job. All the chopped vegetables tasted fresh. Quick and easy meal. read more

This was our first visit for carryout for a late night dinner at 9 pm on a Wednesday. It was not crowded. We tried the beef gyro for $9.99. This came with lettuce and tomato. Plus, it is optional to add onions, olives, green peppers, or hot peppers at no extra charge. It was a big sandwich and filling. However, the pita bread was not soft. The 2 employees were friendly. Next time, we will try the rice platters. read more

Once i moved out of the city i didnt think id experience this greatness again. Im glad to say i was wrong. The halal guys on rockville like slaps. Highly recommend read more

Not my favorite. Flavors are pretty bland, I missed the rich and tasty flavors halal foods usually have. The ingredients are pretty cheap, that tzatziki sauce tasted like anything but tzatziki, like if it was made with cornstarch but not with actual cream. I didn't like having whole olives inside the sandwich because it was difficult to eat but this could be just me! :-P The person serving food was rude and not so patient with new customers like me. Not going back. read more

This might be my new go-to fast casual place in this area of Rockville. The portions are huge and the food is delicious. I generally order the platter. They give you a healthy helping of lettuce, tomato, rice, and chicken and/or beef. The white sauce can be added on the side. It's so good. Hummus is extra, fyi. I feel like I want to explore more of the menu, but the platter is just too good to pass up. read more

Decent kosher food. Mideastern vibe. Ordered it for takeout. The Shawarma was good. Seems decent for the price. I would recommend it.

Food wasn't ready even I arrived 15 minutes late. They forgot to make my order and make excuse that they were busy but I saw one customer wait for food. I ordered my food at app by 45 minutes advance but they didn't make it. They didn't apologize and asked me to take spicy bbq chicken instead since chicken and beef that order for plate. They asked to wait 10 minutes to make the food. I arrived 15 minutes late but they asked me wait 10 minutes. They didn't prepare my food because they forgot about it. The guy didn't remember that he have to prepare my food. Owner refused to apologize and refused to give refund to me. He tolds me to cancel the order at App that I can't do since it was passed the time that I requested food to be ready. They were so rude and unprofessional for their jobs to prepare one beef and chicken plate. I have to wait 25 minutes extra that I ordered the food at 8:07pm to pick up the food by 8:45pm read more

For the price, great food! I would recommend stopping in for a late bite. I was running late after work and it was one of the few spots open in the area read more

With Halal guys chain stores popping up left and right, it's time to be more selective in the location that you go to as not all halal guys are made equal. The biggest inconsistency at this location is the meat quality. The lamb and the chicken are sometimes significantly blander and dryer compared to other locations like the one in Gaithersburg, probably due to poor quality control here. I always love Halal guys but I seldom come to this location because it's a 50/50 chance I'm going to get delicious, juicy tender meat. I've had more luck at the Gaithersburg location. Other than that, I'm glad Halal guys is a chain as chicken and rice is staple for my comfort eats. I really just wished this location was more consistent since it's closer and more convenient to my home. read more

I don't understand the craze with Halal Guys. I like that the original New York City cart was opened til really late and was a good option if you had the late night munchies, but nothing special. I ordered the chicken/gyro rice platter, which also came with lettuce, tomatoes, and pita. You can add as much or little red or white sauce as you want. The food was really greasy and the gyro meat was too salty. It's also pricey for what you're getting. And that white sauce that everybody raves about? It's just basically mayonnaise and black pepper. Nobody cleaned the tables when I went. read more

Goodbye Moby Dick forever! Thank you for opening up this location much closer to my area than New York! My friend and I came yesterday afternoon and thankfully the line was short. Despite of the snowy weather we came through with such excitement! The line to get in was less than 5 minutes which is why I waited and dodged the grand opening. I ordered the combo platter with gyro and chicken and the portion size with the regular was massive. I couldn't finish the whole platter so I will resort to the smaller size next time. The meats were seasoned very well. The famous white sauce was amazing!!!!! They gave me two large packets of the white sauce and smaller packets of hot sauce to-go. I tried a little bit of the hot sauce and my mouth was on fire for a while! The customer service was great. I have no complaints and I opened up a rewards program because I'm pretty sure I will be visiting Halal Guys regularly. read more

This location is a lot better than the Tysons location, friendlier service and better portion sizes. Is it me or does halal guys taste better as leftovers?

Thank you nice lady :) Overall, will definitely keep coming back. read more

We had heard the lines have been long but we walked right up to the counter on Sunday afternoon! The entire staff was friendly and helpful as we studied the menu as it was our first time at The Halal Guys. I ordered the combo chicken and lamb platter and Dan had the gyro. The pita was fresh and the white sauce was delicious. The cashier talked us into the Baklava and we are so happy he did! We will be back soon! The restaurant is small so it might be better to take your meal for carry out. The have bottled and fountain sodas. A small fridge with extra sauce if you need it! read more

The Halal Guys - Middle Eastern Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Been eating at Halal Guys for many years and this is one of the better franchise locations. Not as good as the original carts in NYC that I remember, but few places around here have good chicken & rice. Usually get the combo platter or just chicken, and its packed with flavor. They pile on the rice and meat and you can top it with whatever you like, although some things come with a surcharge. They can cover it in white and red sauce to your taste; the hot sauce has a good bite to it, so if you can handle the heat, get more. I've had the baklava a few times, meh, I've definitely had better. People here are friendly/quick and seem more heavy-handed with the portions (some other locations I've been to measure the scoops like Columbia WTF). The app is also decent, although the old app from a few years ago used to make getting rewards a lot easier. Takes a lot longer to get a free platter now... read more

Been here twice since they opened in February. First Visit in February: I went for their grand opening in February. I was one of the first 100 customers along with a friend. There was a bit of confusion on the deal we were getting. The owner or manager announced that we would be getting a free meal. I was going to get either a pita sandwich or small bowl, but because it was free, I got the large size bowl. I got the lamb with the tahini sauce along with rice & various other ingredients. It's like Chipotle or Cava in that you pick which ingredients you want in your bowl. When I got to the cash register, they handed me a card for free for NEXT time. I said that 'I wouldn't have gotten the large size; I don't need the large. I only got the large because I thought it was free this time. I didn't know it was for next time.' The manager apologized for the confusion and got the cashier to take it off, which was nice. I would've been ok if he had discounted it to the pita price. As for the taste, the lamb & bowl in general were tasty, but that tahini sauce was what really made this stand-out above and beyond a standard bowl meal that is simply pretty good and puts this in the excellent category. My friend & I were crammed in the corner in this small place, but it was the grand opening; so I knew it would be crowded regardless. We didn't want to eat randomly outside since it was drizzling and cool (although not cold by February standards). Second visit in March: So, I still had the Halal card, which needed to be registered, in order to get the free bowl. In addition, I had a free drink for signing up for the club. The expiration on the free bowl was the end of March, and the free drink was 30 days after signing up, which was like March 18th for me. I had Montgomery County work travel on Thursday, 3/15. So, I decided to stop here for lunch. I was done a little earlier than I thought and came here for a kind of early lunch around 11:45. I used my free large bowl (again getting the lamb) and the free drink. They were really nice and as I was eating the manager came by asking how everything is, which was nice, and said there was more the tahini sauce in the small glass refrigerator by the drinks. I said that I was good, but then a few minutes later added some more since it's so good. In spite of it only being 11:45 AM, there was only one seat for me in there. By noon, it was getting crowded. So, my recommendation is to either eat here at an off-time. Or be prepared to take this to go. If I had to, I would've eaten in my car, or if the weather had been nice, I would've eaten outside. Summary, great food & customer service, but small place not ideal for dining in. Overall, I hope to come back and actually pay for a bowl or sandwich sometime. read more

Amazing food and good service. I will definitely come back here again and again the food was fresh and it came out so fast. I had just gotten my dog geo tagged and I didn't have time to sit and eat. I never leave my dog in the car so it was refreshing to be able to grab something quick and go. The portions were perfect and the sides were cooked perfectly. read more

I'm a transplant from NY and knew about the Halal Guys from NY but never had a chance to try it. I decided to give this place a try. I came here on a Sunday. I got the Beef Gyro platter. I'd say the food was good. The bread was not warm though, but I would come back again. read more

To be completely honest, I was quite disappointed: ordered a falafel bowl and afterwards felt like it was the greasiest thing I'd eaten in a while. The 'white' sauce was really, really oily. It tasted like mayo (I think it's supposed to be tahini). The falafel was very basic and greasy. Sides like humus and babaganoush cost extra. Like another reviewer said, the other sides (rice, lettuce, tomato) are very bland. Moreover, even though we came by late when the place was not busy and all the tables were empty, the interior looked dirty. All the tables had something disgusting on them--random pieces of food, etc. Customer service was not great either. While the first person to greet us was friendly (although it took him awhile to notice us, as he was totally engrossed in his phone) the others didn't even acknowledge us when we said bye on our way out. Honestly, you will get a MUCH better bang for your buck at a nearby Cava. read more

I usually get the chicken and gyro (beef) combo platter here! The small and regular is only $1 difference, but if you don't have self control (like me) then go for the small as it's more than enough food and calories. I leave satisfied each time. FYI the red sauce is really spicy so if you can't do much spice, skip it! I like pretty spicy food but only get two lines of it. I do find the meats pretty salty, but the flavor is still really good and the vegetables and rice help balance it out. read more

First time having Halal guys was years ago in New York with their carts. So words couldn't really describe how great my first experience was. Couldn't wait for this location to open up. Went here a couple of times before deciding to review. Restaurant is fairly small but it's the next step up from their carts. Food is delicious. They even have a variety of different things such as baklava for dessert, French fries, and other sides. (Which New York carts do not) I would say go to New York to compare if you can. Customer service and staff for all the times I've visited was great. I definitely recommend halal guys. read more

I was so thrilled to finally see a Halal guys restaurant in Maryland after the hyped food trucks at NYC. I have always loved to have gyros here. I would go all the way to NYC to have their food. I am so excited to discover that they are here. This is definitely a go to place when I am hungry and want to get here quite often. The options are just few and simple and the portion is huge. read more

I've been pretty obsessed with Halal Guys ever since I tried it at the Yelp's Got Game event. I wanted to try the Rockville location. I was not disappointed! The staff is so friendly and helpful, making jokes and making it seem like they really enjoyed being there. Charlie even came over while I was eating to check up on me. So great! I think I've found my new favorite food location! read more

Staff there are very very friendly. I also like how they are open late so I have some place to go to when I'm hungry at night. When I get the big size platter, I usually can't finish and end up packing the leftover for lunch the next day which makes my lunch prep in the morning so much easier. When you eat at the restaurant you can grab the bottle of sauce in the mini fridge and put in as much sauce as you want. I totally took advantage of that. read more

Quick, Simple, Consistent. As someone who reminisces about food truck staples from my summer spent interning in NYC, I love that I can now get this in Rockville, MD. I also love that it's in a mini-mall with plenty of parking. The options are few, the ingredients are simple. Sandwich or platter? Beef, Chicken, or Falafel? It comes with rice, tomatoes, and iceberg lettuce. You can add olives, green peppers, onions, and jalapenos. Then comes the moment where they ask if you want WHITE SAUCE. YES! Say YES! and LOTS of it. Here's what I do. I get the Beef Gyro and Falafel Regular Combo Platter. As a rule, I never order chicken out because I always find chicken to be dry. They don't advertise the combo of beef and falafel (only chicken and beef). However, they do charge beef and falafel as a combo at checkout. It's a great deal and cheaper than ordering a side of falafel. I added olives, green peppers, and onions. As for sauces, I have them put white sauce and tahini. HOWEVER, once I got my platter, I go into their little fridge next to beverages and put MORE white sauce. I sprinkle in dabs of red sauce. Use the red sauce sparingly, it is SUPER spicy. If you eat there, I recommend mixing it all together and halfway through your meal adding more white sauce. This is the type of meal you want to mix all the items together. The combo of the fresh veggies, white/red sauce, and proteins really make for a magical combination. This is by no means a fancy meal. However, I would definitely choose this over a chipotle burrito bowl. For those wondering about portion, I can never finish a chipotle burrito bowl. I finished my regular sized combo platter here. I felt full, satisfied, but not too full I couldn't finish the rest of my errands for the day. It is a quick, simple, consistent lunch option. It's my go-to lunch stop on a day filled with errands. read more

Looking for something open late the Sunday before Memorial Day, we made our way to trusty Halal Guys at the Rockville location we had been meaning to visit. Even at about 11pm at night, customer service was fantastic. Super friendly and happy folks behind the counter serving up our combo platters. Meat still hot and cooking and still plenty of white sauce left for us. Has it been that long since I've been to Halal Guys, you have the option of adding toppings onto your meat, rice and veggies plate? We wanted to stick to the original here, so passed on these, but I wonder if that's an option at any of the non-NYC food truck locations. You can't go wrong with Halal Guys no matter where you are, but this Rockville one especially... is a good one. read more

I'm sort of in between 3.5 and 4 stars for my experience with Hallal Guys; but I rounded up because the service was so efficient and friendly. First things first: If you don't get the white sauce to douse your bowl with... I'm pretty sure you're not gonna have a terribly enjoyable experience. Let me tell explain myself: I'm one of those people who gets their food and tries each of the individual components before eating the food as a whole. I'm not sure exactly why I do this... it's just something I've always done. So... when I got my bowl... I was like... "ok, let's try the chicken..." Nothing special "ok, let's try the gyro..." Also... nothing special "ok, let's try this falafel" ...I'm... getting not so great of a taste from this "ok... tomatoes" Those arn't seasoned. So I kept trying thing after thing and being like "Why in the heck are there lines out the door for this place?" "What is the hype about?" And then I tried their tahini... ( I had just had REALLY good tahini at another Mediterranean place earlier that week... and this one just PALED in comparison). And then... I got to the white sauce. Curiously labeled "Hallal Guys White Sauce." I actually asked when I was at the restaurant what the White Sauce had in it, and they told me "It's a mayonnaise based sauce." They keep that sauce pretty close to the chest... and for good reason. I barely can taste any mayo to be honest, but I can definitely taste... deliciousness. I'm assuming there might MSG in this sauce. The crack of the food world. I started to put the white sauce on bit by bit... adding more... and more like a starved addict. The white sauce really brought the whole thing together. The meal was completely lost without it. It's so so funny how one sauce can make an entire dish. Truly, if I didn't have the white sauce... I probably wouldn't be back. I still wasn't an enormous fan of the falafel. I thought some of the spices in it were to forward facing. If I'm gonna do falafel... I'll probably stick to Max's Kosher Cafe. But the gyro and chicken with the white sauce and other jazz mixed together. I can definitely subscribe to that. White sauce FTW read more

So glad there's a The Halal Guys in Rockville! I was already really excited when one opened in DuPont in DC since it was close-ish to work and I could bring it home, but now since there is one in Rockville, that means Halal Guys on the weekends! I usually get their platters, notably the gyros one. I'd get the combo one (gyros (beef) and chicken) from time to time, but the gyros are so addicting. The platter comes with rice, lettuce, tomatoes, and the choice of protein - whether it's combo (gyros and chicken), gyros, chicken, or falafel, etc. Then there's the options of some add-ons, which some are free, such as onions, olives, peppers, etc., and some are for an additional cost, such as hummus. Then there's the sauce. I've only tried their signature white sauce and the red hot sauce, and both are so delicious together. Put a lot of white and a line or 2 (or even 3+) of the red, and it's a great level of spice! Some people say it's really really spicy, but I love it. They also have sandwiches, fries, etc. here as well. Great service and great food! The amount of food they give may be inconsistent/determined by who's working, but I've always been full after eating a whole platter. I love it when sometimes there's sometimes more rice or packs the bowl, which means an additional half a meal for later in the day or the next day. read more

The hubby and I were excited to try Halal Guys, but were were already sort of full so deceived to order one meal to share. He went with the combo bowl with both beef and chicken. Usually I am an avid fan of beef, but both the beef and chicken were very tasty: The best of both worlds! We had our order for carry-out and the staff did a great job parking the food securely and even offering packs of the white sauce separately so the order did not become soggy. read more
