This is my first time trying the Halal Guys even though I've walked by the original stand in NYC multiple times during travels. I came in the day before their grand opening and ordered two regular combo platters and a baklava. One platter comes with two packs of white sauce and one pack of red sauce. After drizzling about one pack of white sauce over the platter, I mixed the entire bowl up because I hear that's how New Yorkers like to eat it - in rush and on-the-go. The food tasted great. After having a few bites I definitely felt like it needed a little more white sauce, reaching for that second pack. Just a warning, their red sauce is extremely spicy. Before drizzling it on your food definitely try a bit first. One platter may seen like just enough of a portion on the surface, but I actually wasn't able to finish the entire bowl! Ate a little more than half of it and was stuffed. $10 for a regular combo is definitely enough for two meals for me. However, the baklava was quite a small portion for $2.50.
The restaurant space is pretty small. There's four tables, each seats four, and a small high top bar table against the wall that seats a couple more. This type of food is meant to be taken to go, so honestly the small space isn't too bad. I do hope they fix the air-conditioning soon! The service is good, very fast and efficient. It was a great experience trying their food for the first time. I can definitely see myself coming back for more during lunch!
