The Halal Guys - Eating with friends - Halal Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Aaron was amazing and the food was amazing also the service was great restaurant was also clean

first time coming in here today, absolutely delicious!! i love falafel!!!!! my friend loves her chicken here

The "basmati turmeric rice" keeps me coming back! It's one of my favorite rice dishes around because of how savory it is. The standard plate, with its shredded lettuce and diced tomato, balances the carbs and meat with needed veggies. The 2 workers on staff are good on customer service as well - Aaron and another. They showed courtesy and checked in with customers to accommodate them. read more

Date of visit: 6/15/2026 around 1:30 pm Nothing wrong with the food taste. I love HG. With that being said I hope the management read my review and can improve. HG used to put a generous amount of protein on the plate. And even for fries order, the amount was always generous. On the last 2 visits, that hasn't been the case. When I asked how come the amount of protein is so little now, the employee answered that that's the right amount. If I want more and I can always add protein on top. Fries order the same thing. It was not filled until top like before. Hmmm..... read more

Been going to Halal Guys since I had it on the streets of New York many years ago and was excited when they started opening brick and mortars in LA. Food is always great, service has always been meh, but it's always about the quality of the food and that delicious white sauce -until this past weekend. My girlfriend and I went in Saturday night to grab a quick dinner before we got home. There was a sign on the door that they were out of lettuce, not ideal, but not a deal breaker. Server was apologetic about it, and it was what it was, until we asked for the white sauce and he said that there was no white sauce available because his coworker was on lunch or something(?), and that the only way to get any was wait until they got back from break in 20 minutes or to pay for it. Typically if you want extra white sauce you have to pay for it from the packets, but they always initially offer to put as much as you want and THEN if you want extra after that, you can purchase the packets. I admittedly started to get a little heated at this point. You're out of sauce because your own doing, and then want to charge me for your mistake? Imagine going to McDonald's, ordering a Big Mac, they tell you they're out of Mac sauce, and then the only way to get some is you have to pay for it?? The employee handled it the best he could, and we ended up paying for it but this was a total failure on MANAGEMENT. Something that should of operationally never happened. We walked across the parking lot within the SAME complex to Aldi's to buy our own lettuce. This won't stop us from going to other Halal Guys locations, but this will be the last time we go to this one. read more

I recently went back to Halal Guys to pick up a family meal for dinner. I was super excited since I love eating here. I ordered my usual - the family meal (serves 4-5) and an extra side of chicken. This is usually enough to feed my family and maybe an extra meal for my son's lunch the next day. Then I got super disappointed when I opened the bag. The shrinkflation is real here. The extra side of chicken for $10.35 is now a super small portion in a little plastic container instead of the regular size platter tin. The side of lettuce, tomatoes, onions and green peppers are now 1/2 of what they usually offer, and the rice was barely enough for my family. We had less than 16 pieces of pita which was supposed to come with the meal. What the heck was this?? If you want more tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, lettuce, etc., you have to pay extra. When I saw how little we got, I ended up warming up extra leftover rice and getting my own lettuce from the fridge and baking more pita bread from my freezer to eat so my husband and kids could have enough to eat from the "family meal". When I order a family meal for 4-5 people, I expect to feed 4-5 people. Not 3.5 (my hubby, two older kids, and one child). I should not be expected to make additional food on my own to supplement my family meal, nor ration a tablespoon of tomatoes and onions per person. It's so pathetic. That being said, the food is still good. Well, according to my family. I don't really know as I didn't get to eat much of it. Grrr... read more

Quick and easy service. Kobe was great and explained all the options. Mike suggested the awesome cookies.

I had one of the best combo platter here at Halal guys in Rowland Heights. Mike and Diego took care of me and were super cool. Definitely coming back when I'm in town. read more

The food here is not bad at all, it is like a Mediterranean Subway, you get what you want fast, much like subway it is good but not i am craving it great, the guy in here serving us did a great job, looked like he was all alone. At the time we had lunch the seating area could use some love.... But again, the food is not bad! read more

Walked in on a Thursday around 1pm and the place was completely empty. The employee behind the counter greeted us briefly, then went right back to cooking. We stood there for several minutes, trying to decide on our order, but he never turned back to acknowledge us or take it. After about 5 minutes, I finally said, "We're ready to order when you are." He turned around and responded, "I'll let you know when I'm ready." Honestly, that was shocking. We still gave it another few minutes, hoping things would improve. Instead, he finished cooking, walked away, came back with a pitcher of water, and started cleaning the stove--without a single word to us about our order or the wait. After more than 10 minutes of being ignored, we left. Sadly, this explains why this location always seems empty whenever we stop by (which isn't often to begin with). Disappointing experience, and unfortunately, we won't be back. read more

Finally brought my daughter here to try their food. She was pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity of the food. We shared a large platter with beef gyro and chicken . ( Btw, it was only a dollar more for the large portion.) White sauce on the side. Platter included yellow rice (basmati?) lettuce and diced tomatoes. You can also add a few other complimentary toppings too ( onion, bell pepper or olives) I like to eat it mixed up with the sauce. They have a some tables inside and outside as well as limited counter style seating . The interior is clean and well kept . We had a nice quick meal here and I think my daughter will happily join me next time I want Halal guys . read more

Aaron was great...tasty food , great service and clean tables. What more can you ask. I will be back for sure read more

A mountain of rice and lettuce and very little protein. What little protein there was both beef and Falafel dry and hard as bricks. Overpriced. read more

The food was good, exactly what I had wanted. I ordered the sandwich since the plates looked like a lot of food. I was able to select 2 proteins, beef gyro and falafal. Side of rice: saffron and butter Service: I had ordered ahead, but it was not ready yet so I had to wait a bit. The person may have been new, which is cool, but it just looked like they found my order when I walked in. Luckily there was no one in front of me because I had to get back to work. read more

Service was the best! Harry helped us out & recommended us to try the dessert. We will definitely be back read more

This place has fallen off, did this place get the private equity treatment? Was craving it, saw that it's completely dead at lunch time and after I got my platter I know why. What made them great is now shrinkflated to mild. $18 is too much to pay for what you get. Won't be back read more

This place has Good food as usual and friendly professional staff members. Place is kept clean and neat.

Very friendly and gives good food suggestions!. Good for Togo or sit in. We took Togo

I haven't had Halal guys in years, but we decided to get this for lunch the other day. Plenty of parking, plenty of seating. The moment I walked in, there's like this specific stench that didn't really smell too appealing. The counter was pretty empty, so we had to wait a bit for the employee to attend us. He was nice and pretty efficient with his work, but seemed like he was the only guy there to work. I got the small size plate with chicken and falafel and a side of hummus. My bf got the regular size, and honestly the portion was pretty big. The tables were fairly clean here since it just opened too. I had Mediterranean food just recently, so it may be easy to compare to this... which the quality here was not good. The chicken here oddly tasted fake? The the rice didn't taste fresh, and cabbage was not fresh, and the pita bread was okay... The hummus also tasted oddly unnatural... the only thing I liked was the falafel. Overall it kinda tasted like cafeteria food, which is very unfortunate and unpleasant to experience from a renowned place. My bf also had an upset stomach after this. We won't have Halal guys again. read more

Service was friendly and beef sandwich was decent but probably wouldn't come back even if it was near me.

Diego and Mike are very helpful, and the food delicious as well. The hot sauces they must.

1 Star -- Wanted NYC street food... got The Walking Dead meets Dirty Dining.** If you read my reviews, you know I mostly give all Mediterranean resturants 4 to 5 stars**** NOT THIS PLACE!! I've been curious about The Halal Guys for years -- Middle Eastern/Mediterranean, NYC-style food finally lands in California... what could go wrong? Apparently, *everything*. Walked in ready to feast, but first impressions? Yikes. Two guys and a girl behind the counter, gazing outside like they were waiting for a UFO. I stood there awkwardly until one of the zombies snapped out of it and asked if I wanted to order. I said sure... *if there was a menu*. Blank TV screens stared back at me. Girl reset them while I scanned for a clean table -- spoiler alert: there wasn't one. Rice, lettuce, sticky tables, dirty napkins, and a floor that looked like it lost a fight with a food truck. Menu finally flickers on. I mention it's my first time -- expecting some recommendations, you know... basic customer service? Instead, she starts reciting ingredients like I'm at a DMV window. I settled on chicken with rice and honey hummus (skip the tomatoes). The verdict: Chicken was *meh* (dry), rice and honey hummus? Solid. But for $20? I'd rather hit my go-to spots like **Panini Kabob Grill**, **Café X2O**, or **Zankou Chicken** -- clean, flavorful, and they actually seem to care. -By the way, I ate at the dirtiest table! Don't belive me, look at your camera Managment. I won't be returning! Here's the deal -- customer service and cleanliness are the foundation of any legit business. If your crew's got time to lean, they've got time to clean. Clearly, pride and accountability left the building. I *wanted* to give them 3 stars for effort... but based on what I saw (and nearly slipped on), it's a hard **1 star** from me. *Sadly, my first bite into Halal Guys wasn't NYC street food magic -- it was just street-level disappointment. read more
