TWO WORDS; NEVER AGAIN.
The Halal Guys is considered a staple for Halal Fast Food in New York City. I think it was about a year ago when they finally opened the doors to the Toronto location. I was so excited to finally give them a try. When they first opened up the lines were pretty outrageous, so I patiently waited.
They have a great location! Steps away from the subway station and right on Yonge St. There was a bit of a wait, it was around lunch time which is normal for the city.
I ordered the signature item. The Combo Chicken and Gyro Platter with White Sauce. WOW. What a disappointment. So let me start off by telling you what's in the platter.
Lettuce, Tomatoes, Orange Rice, Chicken, Gyro (which is greek, so kinda confusing as to why they are serving that) tons of white sauce (not sure what it is) and the HOTTEST hot sauce.
The rice is so bland and definitely needed more cooking. The Chicken and Gyro were also very bland. That white sauce was so salty and completely took away from everything. The hot sauce was so fucking spicy. If you look at my picture, there's only a bit.
Here's my theory, people might be confusing the taste of the food with the actual taste of the hot sauce. It's very spicy and takes over everything.
NEVER AGAIN.
keep eating (but not here),
