Their sauce packet said "we are different". I feel like most restaurants want to be different. Wanting to be different seems pretty ordinary. What would really make this place different is if their sauce packet said "we are ordinary". Being ordinary is underrated. I'd love to see a documentary on an ordinary person's life. The documentary about Michael Jordan's quest to six rings was incredible, but I want to see a documentary on a person's 9-5 job and their quest to retire at 60. That'd be the most different documentary. Anyway, the food was really good here.

First time trying this place. Loved the falafel dinner with all the toppings (jalapeños, purple olives, bell peppers, tomatoes). And their signature white sauce with some hot sauce on the side. I tasted the beef and I'm definitely gonna get that next time. Falafel balls were good, just a bit over fried. Staff was very friendly and there was 1 child seat available. Some indoor and outdoor seating options available. Looking forward to my next visit!

The Halal Guys is an absolute must-try! Their platters are a tasty blend of flavors, from the tender meats to the flavorful sauces. The portion sizes are generous, and the staff is friendly. I keep coming back for their delicious dishes. Highly recommended!

I finally got to try this place after all the hype and was it worth it? It was pretty good. Luckily there was no line. I got the small gyro platter, which I regretted later as I could have ate more, but maybe I was just super hungry that day. I was surprised that this was pretty good. For some reason, I expected the rice to be dry and I'm not a huge fan of any rice that's not Asian, but I actually liked it. I got the gyro for my protein and it was pretty good as well. I was also surprised that I actually like the white sauce as well because I usually don't like any time of white sauce. This one was actually garlicky and had good flavor and I wanted more, but was too lazy to go back to the counter. Watch out for that hot sauce though. It's pretty damn spicy.
Overall, I thought it was pretty good and worth the hype. It helped that there wasn't a line either. I would go back and get the large plate next time.

Yummy chicken and beef gyro over rice! I have had their food in New York. They have replicated the taste in California. Sure you can’t replicate that feel of eating on the streets of Manhattan in cold winter. But this will be as close as you can get in California. Their menu is very simple. I recommend the plate. Portion sizes are big! Worth the money!

The chewy pita slices, the balance of rice, meat, and salad, the awesome white sauce (Basically super delicious ranch sauce) and a little bit of the super spicy hot sauce. What's not to like? However if you've tried New York's it might be a little disappointing here because they give you less, it costs a little more and it's not the same experience. But again thankful to have one near.

Ordered the plant based gyro platter online and added olives, jalapeños, and falafels. The Vegan tzatziki sauce is amazing! So much food, definitely enough to share just get extra pitas. Hopefully, they will add more plant based options soon

First time to try their food and I would say it’s kinda salty for me. I ordered the combo platter (beef and chicken), the portion of the meat is just ok. But the good part is my wife liked it. Happy wife, happy life!!!! We’ll try their sandwich next time.

One of the authentic places serving Chicken Shawerma and Gyros.. Had a flavourful chicken Shawerma platter with an aromatic saffron rice and sauce. !! CAUTION: Beware of the Hot sauce ! It is truly hot and Spicy !! If you are a spice lover should try it once ! Also Beef Shawarma is available and all the meats are Halal..

Always a great idea to visit Halal Guys. Big plates, super warm and nice staff. And love the chicken over rice.

The food It's really delicious, but I'll explain why I give it 4 star. Reason 1: The portions are smaller than Panda's Chipotle (The hot sauce is very spicy and delicious)Reason 2: I use DoorDash to order food, and the staff seems to give priority to people who order on-site.

Well the long line should tell you that other people like this place. I on the other hand like to see foe myself.
So i stood in line which moves steadily along, not a lot of choices but they have it down for what they do. I chose the combo platter because it looked like a lot of food. I then noticed the they pile the meats on top of a healthy heap of rice, which quite frankly i could do without in exchange for more meat.With that said they do offer extra protein. I like the no leak tin foil pans they use to package my meal. I think their drink selection could be expanded. I also got the hummus which comes with its own warmed pitas, good thing for 5$ and i thought it was ok not the best ive had but certainly not the worst. I think this place would be an amazing street vendor/food truck biz but it loses some appeal being a sit down joint with a lack of choices. All in all i would consider it for return but with so many great choices next door prolly not.

Amazingly yum Mediterranean place. It's a pretty famous chain on the east coast -- was very glad when they opened it on the west coast. Once I tried it, it was evident why people love it :) i usually have their vegetarian falafel rice bowl. Heard their chicken is delicious too. Their white yogurt sauce is delicious..

My go-to is the regular combo with beef and chicken, extra lettuce and tomato, rice and 2 strips of the RED SAUCE and a good amount of the white sauce ($10.50 including tax). Be warned about the red sauce. If you have low spiciness tolerance, try a tiny bit of it first. My friend nearly cried after trying it 😂. Another tip is to get the food to go as there are limited tables inside and there's always a line near the counter.
