| - After being tortured with pics for months, I was so excited to finally get to try The Halal Guys. I went on opening day, around 3 pm, hoping to beat the crowds. I lucked out! Found a parking spot easily, and only had about a 5 minute wait before getting to go inside and place my order. While waiting outside, employees passed out bottles of water and gave us copies of the menu, which was nice.
I ordered a beef gyro sandwich, 2 falafel on the side, 2 combination platters, and 2 pieces of baklava.
The gyro was very good- both the pita and the meat had a good texture, in fact the pita was pretty much perfect. I wish I had known I could have gotten toppings on the gyro like jalapeƱos and olives, but it was their first day being open to the public, and that didn't negate my experience.
The platters I took home for dinner. I made the rookie mistake of getting the large size, so much food! The rice was great, that white sauce lives up to the hype, the red sauce was too much for me. We liked the chicken, the beef, and the falafel, though my husband thought the falafel was a little dry. On the flip side, he loved the baklava and I thought it was a little dry....just a matter of preferences.
This is a bit of a drive for us, but we agreed we would both return here for weekend lunch, or a quick dinner.
