    Large and small beef gyro platter
    Naomi N.

    The Halal Guys never disappoints! I've been to one location in Vegas, so I was curious to see how the Tempe location compared. We visited on a Saturday night, but luckily were able to find parking in the back. I was going to order their limited edition wings, but ended up going for their classic beef gyro small platter for $11.99. My boyfriend got the same order, except the regular platter, which will run you $12.99. You can choose to add jalapeños or olives, but I believe those will cost extra. I really like their hot sauce here, but be cautious as it is very spicy! The staff advised me they could also provide the hot sauce on the side, which I appreciated. Their white sauce is also very delicious with the platter. They provided a decent amount of beef gyro meat, lettuce, tomato, pita and rice. Everything tasted very fresh and I thought it was a decent deal for the price. My boyfriend did want to order their lychee tea, however we were a little sad to hear that they were all out/the machines were broken and no tea options were available. Overall, it was a very clean establishment and great location near ASU for late night eats. We'll be back for our next craving!

    This place was good. It is a very popular place everywhere, food was good, the staff was nice. The place was clean my 4 stars is because is located near by ASU college and traffic and parking are usually a mess

    As a native East Coaster who hit the original Halal Guys trucks before the hype, I was pumped to find one in Tempe. It's not the same as the NYC street cart, but it hits close enough. The meat's solid, the white sauce is still magic, and the red sauce still burns. No line, no chaos, just a decent fix when you're far from the real deal.

    We have been here a few times and our recent visit was the best one. It is a good spot for some quick halal food. We normally get the Beef Gyro Platter and the Beef Gyro sandwich. The previous times we went, the pita bread was dry and barely was given for the regular platter. Our recent visit was the best as everything tasted great. I asked for a drop of the hot sauce this time because they gave me 2 hot sauce lines and I struggled eating my food. So be careful with the hot sauce! They have jalapeño, green peppers and black olives for toppings. The restaurant was empty when we were there for dinner but luckily the food tasted good. The parking is terrible there.

    Ordered here from a delivery app. I got one falafel plate and one gyro plate. Both plates came with rice, lettuce, tomato, pita, and tahini. Thought the gyro meat was tender and had good flavor. The falafel was good but I can tell it's not their specialty. Needed to be more fried, needed more flavor. I would say it would be good in a combo plate with another protein. Presentation was very good especially for delivery. Lettuce was crips. Rice had a good springy texture. Seasoning on the rice was mild. Definitely would consider ordering from here again.

    10/10..... I'm happy to say this place has stepped up its service and quality ! A meal with a drink for under $20 is hard to come by anywhere now.... and I got this meal for 16$ and it was fresh and tasty ! Thank you Halal guys !

    Halal Guys has announced a "rapid expansion" of their restaurant locations. Not so for their Montebello (Christown Spectrum) store which has closed. Since I was in the neighborhood, I visited the Rural Rd store in Tempe. Before heading over, I placed an order on their app. Unfortunately, the app did not offer fountain (only bottled) drinks, curbside pickup or payment options such as PayPal or Apple Pay. Bummer. When I arrived, the order was ready when promised and was accurate. I opted for the Chicken and Beef Gyro Combo Platter. It included mostly rice and iceberg lettuce. The meats were okay, but lacked flavor. Eyeballing it, here's an ingredient breakdown: 35% - Rice 25% - Iceberg Lettuce 15% - Chicken 15% - Gyro Beef 7% - Pita 3% - Tomato The pita wasn't especially warm, but it was fluffy and would recommend it. Health conscious eaters beware. The included pouch of "White Sauce" was good, but clocked in at a whopping 330 calories for the sauce alone. Halal Guys was okay for the fast service and price point. If you're interested in better food, their original NYC lunch cart is probably a better option.

    Beef and Chicken combo

    Food was good! Service was ok. The screens weren't working so it was hard to decide what to order, I just copied whoever was in front of me! Glad I did though! I got a chicken and beef combo. I can tell this is a busy spot though so you know it's good. I'm glad they gave us sauce on the side, because that white sauce is a game changer, so good!

    Small plate Combo meal with a med drink $14
    Amelea J.

    This place is always a good idea. However, the meat looked like it has been sitting for awhile and It was dead inside. The service is great and the place looked clean. Not Smokey inside so you can eat inside and not smell like the food. But maybe it's because the food has been sitting?

    Regular Platter
    Truc H.

    I remember this being one of my favorite spots in New York City for late night food. It tasted amazing and was a great deal. They have fallen so much since it's become a chain restaurant. I used to get twice the amount of food for less. The plate isn't even full.

    Beef gyro platter

    I want to start off by saying that I was perplexed to find that HG only had a 3 star rating. Upon review, it appears to be mostly due to service, not the quality of the food. I have yet to have an issue with their service; I have always been attended to promptly! Disclaimer, I also go pretty late in the evening, 8/9PM, I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I have had the chicken and beef gyro both and they are both tasty! I either get the regular combo platter or beef platter which is $10. I load mine up with rice, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and bell peppers. The veggies have always been fresh! Don't skip the white sauce!! It's creamy and delicious! And the hot sauce was hot, really not sure what is happening but I had my usual 2 lines yesterday and it was very faint... Bf had 3 lines and there was some lingering hotness... he said next time he might do 4-5 lines :O I usually have enough leftover for a second meal, which you can't beat at $10. Definitely give HG a try!

It is a restaurant with a mini market which makes it feel so authentic. However, upon my first visit I didn't really look around the market but I did purchase a zero calorie Salaam cola which tasted exactly like Coca Cola. I ordered chicken shawarma plate and for appetizers I got the falafels. I started with the falafels and they were surprisingly not dry at all. I was not sure what kind of sauce it was served with but it paired well with it. The plate portion size is no joke...Everything on the plate had a huge portion size: the salad, hummus, rice, and meat...all of them...Every bite with the yogurt sauce was flavorful. And then I tried a bite with hummus, rice, chicken and the sauce...wombo combo flavors. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish all of it so I had to take a to go box home. On my next visit I ordered the beef shawarma plate and I was not disappointed at all. After finishing with an empty plate, I walked around the mini market. I noticed there was allot of Middle Eastern food, candies, and drinks. I really enjoyed my Salaam cola on my first visit but they did not have the zero calorie version in stock...I did research on the brand and I found that they created the cola to provide aid to countries like (free)Palestine and Yemen which I deeply support. Besides the food, I also saw keffiyehs on display which I liked as well. Overall, I rate this place a strong 10/10. I will come back to try other entrees and desserts like their baklava cheesecake.

We ordered from a kiosk and got a recommendation from one of the workers which was nice. You can watch them assemble your food on the line which is cool. There's lots of seating inside so it's a nice casual spot. First of all the prices here are incredible, our pita wrap was only $9, and an additional $1 to "make it viral" (crispy). The food took a really long time to come out, there was quite a few people waiting in front of us which is why I think it took so long, they also seemed to grill all the meats to order so I'm not super mad about the wait. The meat inside the wrap wasn't super flavorful, but still pretty good. All the hummus, sauce, and pickles really brought it all together. I probably wouldn't get it crispy next time since it honestly hurt the inside of my mouth, and just seemed to kind of make it greasy, it wasn't as crispy as I thought it would be, just kinda hard. All that said, it's not the best thing I've ever had but the price makes it so good. I would definitely come here again

You can tell they are popular, as they had a good flow of guests coming in and out. The dining space was a bit messy, not the restaurant as much as just trash from leftover guests, though that could be due to the traffic, but definitely noticeable. I ordered a classic gyro, greek fries, tabouli salad and baklava. The price point is extremely reasonable and it was plenty filling with leftovers. The food itself took quite a bit to get out, but again traffic and the staff was kind enough to give us some dolma for our long wait time. Everything I tried was really good, I haven't had dolma before and I would most definitely get it again, theirs was delicious! The value and quality is definitely there and I will most definitely be adding them to my rotating takeout list.

I am an uber driver who was dispatched to this location on 1/24/26 at 2:06am. When I arrived the doors were locked and nobody was inside. I checked the business hours online and it says they're open until 3am. I called the restaurant, no answer. I then had to cancel the order due to the business hours being incorrect, which counts against our cancellation rating even though it's not our fault for cancel. Uber looks up the business hours online and if it says they're open online - they ding US (even though they weren't *actually* open)! After so many times of this we risk our accounts being deactivated, which directly impacts my income - at no fault of mine. I am willing to edit my review with acknowledgement from the business owner that their hours will either be changed online - or assurance that their business will be staffed during business hours.

But I don't know if they were caught at a bad time because they were not prepared for the influx of customers. The worker could not even take an order for 15 minutes because they were backed up trying to cook and finish existing orders.

It was basically Carne Asada without spices. All it was was meat and fries which came with a cream sauce on the side. It could have used some tomato or greens or pickled veg to brighten up dish. It was just heavy and greasy and one-note. I would not order this again. FALAFELS were much the same. Dark and almost burnt, crunchy, hockey pucks, except they were ring-shaped, I think to allow an efficient, even cook, so why were they over-cooked? HUMMUS was pretty decent, creamy and smooth, I wouldn't mind buying this by the cup. It's a shame that the pita bread was so generic, it did not do the hummus justice. The rice also tasted generic. Nothing really felt authentic here. The place needs some detail cleaning really badly. There is dust all over the furniture and decor and it was unappetizing. The bathrooms smelled like a hobo encampment. The tidiness was scary. The friendly staff and hummus is all they really had going for them on my visit. It would be hard for me to comeback unless they really do an overhaul of their restaurant.
