Review
The design of The Halal Guys restaurants and kiosks is made to look welcoming to all individuals of different religions. It has a casual ambiance, making it a great place for friends and families.
Halal meat is served in sandwiches and platters. It definitely tastes different from the usual meat that you buy and cook at home. So if you’re looking to try something new, this is a great place to start.
You are free to choose different toppings for the Halal meat. Their famous white sauce is a must try. They also have side dishes such as Falafel and Fries.
The orders are might take a bit longer than most as the management do not want to neglect the quality of the food being served. Overall, however, you need not wait too long and the service is top-notch.
