Wow. New spicy lamb was incredibly tender and flavorful. Very limited sittings for the dine-in.

Small place (assume you have to get it to go -- and feel lucky if you are able to nab one of the two tables or half-dozen seats.) Line moves fast, food is really good. The gyro meat -- which is served crumble up, almost like sloppy joe meat -- is moist and tasty. The white sauce everyone raves about doesn't do much for me -- a little too much like mayo. But the red spicy sauce ... wow! I like spicy food -- but that hot sauce is (almost) too much for me. Folks, this isn't lame Sriracha sauce, it's bona-fide concentrated pepper. Very tasty ... but, I've been here twice, and both times I've seen people not taking seriously the warnings from the food prep guys that the hot sauce is really hot. If you want to roll the dice, consider getting the sauce on the side, so you can gauge your tolerance for it. In short, love this place (four starts instead of five because it is so crammed -- also, I wish that white sauce was closer to a real tzatziki) I hope they open up somewhere closer to Alexandria! read more

I've had it in the original NY location, LA location and now here. The food is consistent average at best. I wanted to give them another shot since friends and family were excited to try, but the 1.5 hour wait for greasy unflavored street food isn't worth it. Stay away from the chicken (no flavor) and stick with the gyro meat. Stay away from the hot sauce (it is ridiculously hot). Get extra white and a few drops of hot (if you can tolerate spicy food). Springfield has better halal food options. Avoid for the next month, till the hype dies down with these insane lines. Once people realize how mediocre the food is, you can try it without the long lines. read more

Very nice counter server who let us sample the various sides. We got three beef gyros and the Baba Ganouj. The portion sizes are great and the food is flavorful. Be careful of the red sauce on the gyros as it is really spicy. And, be ready for a mess as the gyros basically are overflowing with toppings and sauce. We will be back. They also have a rewards programs that by just enrolling you get a free fountain drink. I give it three stars just because it is a counter serve restaurant but the food really is good and served very quickly. read more

Great! it's here in the DC area. Service is slow.....really really slow. Huge difference from NYC with Taste, Timing and Quality. White sauce and Hot sauce is spot on.. It's in a package. Can't mess that up. I found a chicken bone in my combo when I went for the first time to try out the Springfield location. That never ever happened in the 10+years that I've been going to the NYC location. Lettuce is over sized to compensate for the small portions of meat. In both DC locations. Missing that taste from NYC has made these reviews biased. Service and portions and taste are not close to as good NYC 14th St. The original on the street corner is not as good because the meat is taken too them not as fresh as the restaurants should be. Hopefully the next one in DC proper will be better. read more

I had the chicken gyro with white said. I wasn't impressed. The chicken taste as it was boiled first, lightly seasoned (salt/pepper) and then lightly grilled or chopped up and put in a warmer. The white sauce is pretty tasteless. I was expecting something more like a taziki sauce. Topped with lettuce and tomatoes that make it kind of watery. I wasn't impressed. read more

Very very stingy with the food. I usually get extra chicken and stuff and never complained about paying more. This time they barely added extra humus and the guy in the back just jumped in and was very rude when he said "if you want more you pay more" like wtf I just paid more! read more

Gave it two stars because the location is good. Food is bland & mediocre. Had the real halal guys in NY a few years back & was disappointed by the ones in VA. Maybe i came on a bad day... read more

I was a little unimpressed by the meats at this location. I'll give them a break and a second chance because I was the first person in line at 11 AM on a weekday, and perhaps that's why my chicken was jiggly and had some gelatinous pieces of skin stuck to it. Otherwise I was quite happy that they gave me not one but two packets of white sauce to go. Still a little overpriced, getting a platter for $9. read more

The food is GREAT, but their customer service is EVEN BETTER!! The husband and I had an incident last night & not only did the restaurant reach out to us, but the Owner, Khurram contacted us as well to make it right! We went back to the restaurant to meet him today & he made us feel like his personal guests! Customer service is EVERYTHING and he definitely didn't disappoint. They have definitely made permanent customers out of us! read more

Nice staff! Great food! Attentive service! Clean! I forgot to bring my wallet and was able to order from the DoorDash app. The falafel sandwich was huge and I wasn't able to eat the whole thing. The location is convenient and located near a Trader Joe's. read more

No line when my cousin and I went! The server was super nice and helpful since we were first timers. She let my cousin sample some of the red hot sauce before actually ordering so she can get a feel of how spicy it is. Note: VERY spicy!!!! We both got the combo platters with white sauce and a packet of red on the side. Everything tasted yummy! I've never been to the one in New York, so I can't compare if this was worse or better or the same. Check it out! read more

A little disappointing. I hardly got any good pieces of gyros and the gyros is pretty dry, small, and crispy hard. The rice had no flavor and the lettuces were cut big. Normally I'm able to enjoy the platter without the sauce but for this, I actually needed the entire sauce to taste anything. Huge difference between the New York joint and this one. read more

I ate here when this location opened and was very disappointed. Went back there again today and found that nothing has changed. Really bad food and poor customer service. Everything lacked flavor and only thing I could taste was the mouth burning hot sauce. The side order of baba ghanoush was a watery mush which was not edible. They sure are consistent in maintaining poor quality of food and service. Please stay away from this place and if you are dying of hunger remember there is a potbelly next door. read more

Pretty good. After reading some of the Yelp reviews, I decided to take a ride out to Springfield and check this place out. I was hoping that it wasn't too crowded because I absolutely hate crowds.But luckily there were only two people ahead of me in the line. I ordered the Combo Platter...and it tasted really good. I wasn't a big fan of the chicken though - it just tasted strange to me. But everything else was pretty good. I had mine with the white sauce - and then got the hot sauce on the side. Like everyone explained, that red sauce is very, very hot. I just added a few drops and I was ok. Just a few drops. Overall it was pretty good like I said. My only issue is there isn't that much seating available on the inside - actually most people were eating on the wall outside. But otherwise, this place is a good stop for somewhere quick to eat. read more

These guys are quick, the food is delicious, and the workers are incredibly polite and helpful. Just a heads up, this place does place their pita on top of their chicken whole it's cooking on the grill which makes the chicken not a gluten free option for those who have celiac. Other than that, these guys are great and the portions are huge! read more

Ahmad Ahmar, Abubakar, African Young Lady and Boss Manager. Properly trained, excellent customer service. Sometimes it gets busy we understand but they always deliver excellence weather it be good food or customer service. Thank you for the food! You guys contribute to a great growing business that started from the bottom. I'd like to see a video documentary on the story of this business. I guess it started from a food truck in NYC? IF YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR ASSOCIATES, YOUR ASSOCIATES WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR GUESTS! See you guys later! read more

I ordered online and they put some super spicey sauce I put NO to when I ordered it online. Otherwise the food would of been amazing.

Finally my taste of NYC is here. All I have to say is Amazing...I am glad they are here in the DC Metro, and I don't have to drive to NYC to get it. The staff, the taste of the food and presentation is exceptional. I highly recommended this place... read more

So my first of many visits to HG in springfield was the FIRST time i've had HG sober. Other visits were to their location on E. 14th St in NY. It was freaking AWESOME then and great now. I've tried other similar restaurants but man, HG is doing something with their food. I have a feeling they must be dousing mine with vodka to keep me strung. JK! All in all, great food, great value and I m so glad they are close to my house! I just wished they opened till LATE like the one in NY. read more

The Halal Guys never fails...their simple menu is straightforward and provides you with more than enough choices for anyone craving a satisfying and of course, tasty experience. Choose falafel, beef gyro or chicken or the combination and either a sandwich or platter along with the toppings and sides of your choice. Fresh, fast and flavorful sums it all up. read more

There was wait but line was moving fast. I tried combo chicken and falafel platter. They put white and red sauce. Red sauce is very spicy. Big portion of platter is salad and rice, recommend to give more chicken rather than salad . Food tasted ok. Giving 5 stars to support halal guys. Will definitely return. read more

Decent, tastes a little different than the NYC stand. I like that it's made indoors, but the grills probably have to wear down a little more to get that flavor. Definitely better when you're really hungry after being out. I'd go back because it's good food at a decent price. read more

As good as it can get ... I was here couple of days ago ... food was awsome and delicious. definitely a recommended halal place. I own restaurants myself and the costumer service was extremely well. Ahmad was very kind and caring I offered the guy a job at my restaurant but he refused... thanks for the brilliant service..... keep it up read more

Got the combo bowl. The service and food were just okay. There are definitely better places that serve the same food like Big Red Halal or Mediterranean Gourmet Market. The bowl I ordered was decent but they give you a good amount of food for a large. The veggies like the lettuce onions and tomatoes were fresh. The rice and meat were pretty dry but luckily they put a good amount of the white sauce on it. The white sauce is very good. I love hot stuff so I asked them to put the red hot sauce on it but they literally only gave me a dollop and said that I had to buy the hot sauce packets if I want more. These packets are way too expensive..50 cents per packet which is a little ridiculous. Ordered two packets Each packet has a small amount of sauce in it for the 50 cent price tag and each packet doesn't even have the same amount of sauce in it so some packets have more or less than others. One packet I received had atleast twice as much in it as the other packet. Most likely won't eat here again since there's better places I prefer around the area. read more

Great food!!! I have only had the combo platters here, and they're incredible! Personally, I like to ask for less rice and more veggies, specifically extra lettuce, LOTS of tomatoes and green peppers, and copious amounts of onions. And I like to ask for the white sauce before some of the veggies so the sauce doesn't get stuck to the lid once the platter is closed. The white sauce is really the key to all of this. Well actually the meat seasoning is incredible and none of this could work without that, but the white sauce really brings everything together. There is also the red sauce. I like a lot of this, but it is REALLY hot. I love spicy foods and I can only take about 4 or 5 lines of it. It is really the hottest sauce I have ever had. So, be careful with this stuff! read more

Gotta give my thanks to the Fung Bro, I wouldn't have known this restaurant existed If I were to choose between the platter or the sandwich, go for the platter! I wasn't given any white sauce on my sandwich & it's impossible to spread the hot sauce. Personally, I think the price is reasonable ($8.50) for the amount that's given in their large platter. Half of the platter always fills me up, leaving the rest for later. I have tried the gyro (beef) and chicken, they both taste kinda bland by itself. However, I prefer the chicken because it's really yummy when it's soak in the white sauce. Strongly recommend to get the hot sauce on the side, a pretty big packet considering how spicy it is. You're in the control of how much hotness you want. I asked for the BBQ sauce on the side of my platter once, didn't find the significant taste of it.... read more

First time trying there food out. The staff was very friendly. They let you try a sample of the different types of meat so you can decide which one to order. I ordered the beef Platter. It was delicious. It came with pita bread. I actually asked for an extra one and usually it's $1.00, but the manager was nice enough to give it to new for free. They also have sandwiches with the same meats as the Platter. They have sides like hummus, baba ghanouj, and tahini with pita. read more

The sauces are amazing, it's best to eat right away. Thy even came out and asked if we wanted more sauce. The line was short surprisingly. By far one of the better experiences I've had here. Will be coming back for sure. read more

The Halal Guys - Great food! I am a regular here! - Halal Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

It's just not the same as the Halal guys in Manhattan. I'm stoked that they're much easier to get to now with the local locations, and I know that I can't really hold it to the same standard as the cart in the NY, but the quality is just not the same. Most likely it's because there's not a constant traffic of patrons in line, but you can tell that the meat's been sitting on the griddle for a bit so it's not as fresh. Nonetheless, it's convenient to have accessible when there's a craving, and the late hours are great! Parking's easy too, so that's another plus. read more

If you ever tasted the real halal guys on 6th Avenue Manhattan you would know that this does not compare. I had the combo and the lamb tasted like rubber and rice had no flavor. Drove 96 miles for some chicken and rice but was heavily disappointed. Def not the same quantity of food. Very disappoint and would not go again. I guess that's what happens when you take something good and franchise it.. read more

You can't beat this deal in NY or anywhere they are located for that matter. I even got my Local Halal guys to cater Saturday's at the dealership I work at. Try them out for yourself. If you like spicy food try the hot sauce you won't be disappointed. read more

We got catering done from them last night for iftar. It was great! They packed everything so nicely and the food portions per person were good. Love the taste anyways so tasted amazing. They have a pretty good deal for Ramadan. It's $7.99 per person. The food was ready on time and their staff help me to put everything in the car. I would suggest do check them out for catering! read more

The first time I had this food was at a friends rehearsal dinner a number of years ago. From what I recall it was really good and I remember going back for multiple servings of various offerings. Last night I ordered a chicken and beef gyro and my wife ordered a bowl. While the flavor was ok the meat in both of our meals was dry and crunchy, not warm and tender. Even the white sauce wasn't enough to rescue the meal. read more

The Guy and I are doing a quick staycation after a long couple of weeks here in Springfield, VA, so we decided to venture out for some vittles to eat! We stumbled into the Halal Guys for a low carb option for the Guy! They had a advertisement outside for what looked like a bowl! It looked pretty decent so we were drawn inside! We were greeted by the very nice gentleman who worked there! They were eager to assist us! My kind of place!! We both ordered the gyro and chicken combination platters! Both were under $9! They prepared our platters in front of us and asked us what we wanted exactly! I chose all the fixings: lettuce, tomatoes, basmati rice, pita pieces and the white sauce! The gentleman put a generous amount of white sauce! We also ordered the spicy hummus which came with a nice and warm naan bread! I was slightly afraid of what was considered spicy! The gentleman kindly gave us a sample to taste before we committed! When I say that food was good...it was soo good! The chicken and gyro were seasoned and cooked very well! The spicy hummus was very good! Not to mention, it was too much to eat at once!! Both of us were stuffed at eating just half!! Needless to say...we were so happy, we will be returning!! read more

I've eaten there before. First time wasn't bad. However the delivery is awful. Got delivered cold food. I dont think they even tried to keeping warm. Cold gyro, yuck. read more

Customer service was not good. Food was okay. Recommend Alexandria or Fairfax location not here

I've heard so many people rave about Halal Guys, and none of the food lived up to the hype. The falafel is....strange. More like fried broccoli than fried chickpeas. Not quite sure what it was made of, but it wasn't tasty in the slightest. I had the gyro which was fine, but greasy. Service was nice, and the restaurant was clean, but there is waaaay better food out there. read more

Food is flavorful and cheap. Love the prices and taste. Could have better seating arrangements and better customer service. Overall good.

What is this place, i tired their chicken and gyro platter, and it was just not good compared to the NY one, this location is just bad , the food was cold and their chicken was like boiled dried up chicken and it was so hard to swallow. read more
