    A bit slower than the city and some of the employees looked like they don't want to be there. Clean and convenient. Very similar to what's in the city without the street dust on your food. I get it, some people like that, but not me. Definitely will continue to go and support this local store.

    I have been eating Halal Guys for over a decade. It was a pilgrimage when I went into NYC, it was a rare treat after going out in college, and it was a decadent lunch out of my midtown office. Halal Guys at 53rd and 6th is longest-running and best-known halal food cart business in New York. It can't be stated enough how far the Halal Guys reach extends. It's rare that 1 singularly perfected dish can unite the Manhattan construction workers, the J.P. Morgan investment bankers, the out-of-town tourists, the Parsons fashion students, and all the city's Uber drivers - let alone from a near 24/7 food cart. It's a classic NYC stable and the line is reliably ever-replenishing. Halal Guys is in the process of leveraging their brand and extending their empire via a franchise platform. Their aspiration is to become the Chipotle of Middle Eastern food. Whether they can retain their original NYC food cart magic, still remains unproven. I attended the Halal Guys Yonkers grand opening and while it may not retain the same street food cart magic, I thought it was a fairly reliable homage to my old memory. Their operations were clean, service was fast, portions were plentiful, and the packaged prepared sauces were familiar. The proteins remain muted in flavor. The falafel remains tough and dry. But overall, I thought this was a fair representation of the franchise brand. I was hoping to get a Halal Guys shirt and pillow during their grand opening celebration, but hopefully I can get one next time!!

    Great place for takeout. The entrees are big enough for you to share with someone else. The white sauce makes the average quality falafel and beef taste much better. The baklava is super sweet and moist. It's worth trying, but don't expect this to be as good as the original Halal Guys in the city

    Small Chicken & Beef Gyro Platter - wi the Hummus as well. Very good

    Ordered a few times so I even downloaded the app now. Believe it or not this is not an unhealthy meal. We like the small combo platter of chicken and lamb which is halal certified. Simple rice, lettuce, tomato and the meat. I'm big into ingredients so I don't use their white sauce anymore and have made my own along with hot sauce. Things like soybean oil steer me away although I used to down the platters in it when I was younger driving to the city to get 53rd! Their baklava was nice and tasty as well. Good service for order with pick up. Quick and easy! Happy you guys are in westchester now. Just look deeper into the additives in your sauce !!

    The food was great and affordable. I recommend trying the mix with rice and a lot of white sauce.

    Service was excellent! Pretty surprised to be serviced by the General Manager. She was courteous and professional. I'll return to eat there

They're only a 15 minute drive away, so it's pretty convenient, especially when we don't want conventional fast food. We ordered some pita sandos and headed out to pick them up. When we arrived, there were still people at table, enjoying their meals. It's not very intuitive, where you should stand when you enter. You have to basically walk past people eating dinner at tables, in order to get your pick up order. They really should set something up at the front of the restaurant. We were a bit confused, so we waited by the front, where there are stacks of menus. One of the staff walked towards us and he looked annoyed. I definitely did not like the way he was looking or speaking to us. It was definitely a complete 180° from the lady time we visited. The same employer was much nicer at that previous time. I told him we were picking up an order and gave my name. He had us walk towards the kitchen area, we're standing right by people eating at tables. The setup is really bad. We paid and got our food, and headed home. The pita sandos were good but they kind of overdo it with the tzatziki. I would probably have them put it on the side. All of them were drenched in it. I had the shrimp, hubby had their gyro, and my son had their pork version. We got our Little, their Hercules burger from the kids menu. It's bifteka on pita, with lettuce and tomato, and fried, sliced potatoes on the side. She liked it and I rated a bit. It was very flavorful but messy to eat. Aside from weird in-person interaction, the woman that took our initial order was nice on the phone, the food tasted good, and I would probably order again, but likely not ever dine in. The vibes were too uninviting.

Tino's Artichoke is a tasty start - an artichoke dip with feta and sun-dried tomatoes served with pita chips. We'll usually get the mixed grill (but subbing lamb in for the beef, way more flavor). Or, a mix of grilled octopus, grilled calamari and a salad. Everything is very flavorful and goes great with the pita bread. Our calamari was a little chewy this last visit, which surprised me. It's never like that. Octopus is always tender and comes with tasty charred onions, peppers, caperberries. Other delicious dishes here - chicken shish, the steak, gyro, grilled shrimp, lamb shish. Lately they've been decorating tables with fresh flowers - nice touch and complements the candles.

Plus, it was accompanied by some really great sautéed vegetables. The Greek salad was different from anything I've had before in that it was light on romaine and chock full of fresh peppers and cucumber and tomato chunks. Portions were huge as well. My wife had the stuffed cabbages and falafel which she said was great.

I hadn't had mediterranean in a while and I'm not head over heels for the place near me so I wanted to try something new. This place seemed decent enough. I ordered a greek salad and hummus with pita. There were varying gyros, another greek salad with chicken, some platters including the falafel platter that GF orderd. My salad was wonderful. The ingredients were fresh and that dressing was lovely. It was a salad I actually enjoyed instead of regretting the entire time I glared at my coworkers who ordered real shit with envy. The hummus was also very creamy, authentic hummus with a slightly different taste than I am used to but head and shoulders above any store bought bullshit. Everyone else said good shit about their food. I tried one of GF's falafel from her platter and it was really good. My only complaint is for $24 or whatever it is, i would expect more than a few falafel balls and one side. Kinda a rip off. But everything tasted really, really good.

Sad to say, after being loyal customers, this place turned us off tonight permanently. I placed a large anniversary dinner order by phone, including tahdig ($12). During the call, I specifically asked if the rice came with tomato and onion and was told no it comes with the tahdig that I ordered. So yes it comes with the order. I was also asked whether I wanted the gheymeh on top or on the side of the tahdig. I chose on the side. When I got home, the order didn't match what was discussed: The tahdig wasn't traditional rice tahdig like me or my wife have had countless times. It was more like this brownish, sheet-like, crumble with a few flecks of rice on the crumble, but not crispy. Not Persian tahdig. The gheymeh was missing entirely, despite being discussed on the call. The tomato and onion that I was told were included were not there. The fesenjan had only a few pieces of chicken. The ghormeh sabzi was okay, but pretty underwhelming in flavor. I called politely to clarify about the missing tahdig (for next time) and was told someone would call me back. No one did. When I called again an hour later, the same person who took my original order responded in a dismissive and accusatory tone, unilaterally escalating her tone and voice immediately, almost angrily accusing me of daring to call, and told me that the tahdig does not come with gheymeh, and tomato and onion aren't included either. (This is the opposite of what I was told when ordering). She repeatedly interrupted me, talking over me, instead of listening or trying to resolve the issue. We've been coming here since moving from Southern California a few years ago, whenever we felt homesick and wanted some Persian food. The food has always been....OK....nothing like Persian restaurants in Toronto or Southern California, but we continued ordering out of nostalgia and lack of other options. However, this experience today, incorrect information, missing items, no follow-up, and then, the way the situation was handled was our final turn off. Disappointing, especially for what was meant to be a special occasion. We won't be returning, nor will our visiting Persian family or friends.
