    On the plus side, the order was prepared so quickly that this Uber Eats order arrived before another one I placed with another nearby restaurant. My go-to order of falafels over rice seemed freshly fried, and there's nothing I love better than that bright verdant green color of a flavorful falafel. Platters ordered via delivery seem to come with a standard hot sauce packet and a generously sized packet of white sauce (extra sauces can be ordered for a nominal upcharge, but I didn't find I needed it). This time, I added a serving of chicken to the order. The taste was pleasant - well-seasoned and tender - but I can't say I love the slightly rubbery look and texture of the chicken. Maybe the falafels had so much crunchified texture that the chicken paled in comparison, but I don't think I'd order this again.

    Small gyro platter

    I liked the hanging plane when you walk through the door, there is a lot of seating, the team efficiently puts together a platter. The parking lot can be crazy busy, but there is still a lot of parking. I got the small platter with gyro meat, and there was a good amount. The pita bread, rice and salad were nice as well. The white sauce was a lot though. I think they could err more on less and ask if people want more, and the squirt comes so quickly it's hard to say stop in time. It did tend to overwhelm everything else. But since there was no line when I went, the food was assembled very quickly, and the employees were friendly. It was a decent halal meal, and if the whole plaza was less of a zoo, I would come more. It's a tasty and filling meal option, but like a lot of places, the price is not as cheap as it used to be.

    A good fix if you're craving the popular halal platter! You can also opt for the tahini sauce which is more nutty and savory but would still recommend classic white sauce and hot sauce.

    Located in a busy outdoor mall area. Lots of parking but usually pretty crowded. My fiancé and I shared a beef platter with bbq chicken and added jalapeños for a small fee. Added the white sauce and red sauce. I'm not a fan of halal guys. Something about the food lacks in taste for me. However service was quick and friendly. Food was served quickly and my hubby liked it. Decent portion.

    Quick service. Good options. Had a bowl with steak and bbq chicken. It was delicious. My fiancé didn't enjoy it but I thought it was good. Can eat in. Lots of parking.

    Gyro w/beef and lettuce only. Where's the beef?????

    Delivery was prompt and sauces ordered good. But ummm.....where's the beef? I thought it was going to be packed but guess not. Order the extra protein please!! Taste is good

    Side Falafel (2 Pc) and Beef Platters
    Alex T.

    Coming from a LONG TIME fan, The amount of food has been drastically reduced. Portion sizes are not where they have been before for a brand that claims to be "just like the NYC carts". You get less for the amount of $$. Less sauces, less meat, less rice, less of everything. Might have to start looking elsewhere for a halal spot that will actually give you value for the $

    Metal wire in my platter, nasty.

    Hate to give this review as I've been to this location a few times, service has always been friendly and food consistently decent. To say I was disappointed to find a piece of corroded wire in platter is an understatement. Nearly cracked a tooth on it, but could have been worse if had swallowed the thing.

    Chicken & Beef Gyro Platter (Small)
    Chris E.

    Let me get straight to the point - This is NOT The Halal Guys I grew up knowing and loving as a young adult in NYC. When I was in my early 20s, I remember the days (or rather early mornings) I looked forward to eating a chicken or lamb with rice platter on the corner of 53rd St and 6th Ave on hot, sweaty Fridays/Saturdays after a night of debauchery at an NYC club or bar. My friends and I would order those one-of-a-kind platters (with their famous white sauce drizzled all over it) and just sit by the office building the carts were in front of and chow down with the many other alcohol casualties of the evening. Those days are long gone for me, but apparently so is the deliciousness of The Halal Guys at their storefronts. I came here to do some reminiscing and ordered a Chicken & Beef Gyro Platter and Chicken & Falafel Platter and, honestly, I didn't know what to make of it. It was dry, and lacked that fresh, street meat flavor that you only get when you order from an NYC street cart. The food just didn't feel right. It felt like it wasn't just cooked. For those who know nothing of the original street carts that The Halal Guys spurned out of, they might love this version of The Halal Guys, but, if you know your street meat, like I do, this feels like a knock off and does not do the original justice. Once again, it's a matter of experience with the original vs storefront. Come here if you want OK halal food. Go to NYC and hit up the carts if you want real street meat.

    It's just not the same as the original 53rd and 6th cart but it will do in a pinch. We ordered for delivery via UberEats on a Sunday night. Hubby and I both got the beef gyro as we usually do because the chicken tends to be dry. Instead of chopped up meat like the cart, the gyro here is in slices. Not sure if that's good or bad but it still tasted good. I also like that you can add extra lettuce, tomatoes, and add chopped green pepper for no additional cost. They don't have this option at the cart. The veggies are much needed to help cut down some of the grease and heaviness. Each platter came out to about $15 without tip. Next time, I won't be a lazy bum and I'll do a pick up order instead, so that I don't need to pay the added fees for Uber.

    Large Beef Gyro Platter
    Monica D.

    Got 2 large platters, one of falafel and one of gyro. The portion was enormous, enough for 2 meals each and everything tasted good except the lettuce did not smell or taste right. It didn't look bad at all, it was just off so we dumped it.

    Chicken Platter
    Ka V.

    Picked up a to-go order from here for my husband, who's a big gyro fan a couple weeks ago and he has been mentioning this place since. He's been overseas and has had gyros and falafels from Dubai before so he's a little bit of a snob. We've only been to one place in SC that's fairly close to what he's had so when he told me the fries, beef gyro, white and hot sauces were pretty good, I knew I had to try it myself. I got the chicken platter to go and was pleasantly surprised. I'm not a fan of ANY hot sauce, so I went without the packet but the white sauce was pretty great. I was so stuffed halfway through, that I didn't finish my meal but it still tasted great after heating it up. I threw the pita bread pieces in the toaster oven and they came out tasting amazing. The atmosphere is clean and everyone is friendly when you walk in. I'd definitely try the gyros next time!

I know there's a million Halal spots popping up, and I will admit I'm very, very picky when it comes to platters. I miss the good ol' days on 53rd street in NYC... I came by around 10pm and was served quickly by a friendly employee. They have platters, burgers, wraps, wings, chicken tenders, fries, etc. I ordered the chicken rice platter (~$13.50). They cook the meat fresh on the grill and then you choose your toppings at the salad bar (olives, onions, peppers, tomatoes, etc.). It's a bit pricier than other places, but the portion size is huge. The container felt HEAVY lol. It's just a shame it went to waste because I really didn't enjoy the food. I only finished about half of it before I tossed the rest. The white sauce was almost flavorless and was VERY watery. The chicken wasn't as well-seasoned. No distinct spices or aroma. Every bite left me with a very greasy and salty taste in my mouth. The side salad was just okay. I was disappointed. The only saving grace was the rice... it was fluffy and the best part of the whole platter. Not sure if I came on an off night or...?
