Quality control and customer service here is so bad, it’s ridiculous. I ordered a platter plus a family meal. They were supposed to give me 12 white sauce and 7 hot sauce, they gave me 2 of each. There was no onions and green pepper for my family meal, and no pita bread for my platter. It’s all over the place. They don’t check before giving it to me, and when I called them after I got home, they didn’t offer me anything at all to compensate me for their mistake. I had to go back to get what was missing, and they offered nothing at all. Imagine your family is waiting for the food, and then everyone is disappointed by all that was missing.
Also I feel corporate is making bad decisions like making the hot sauce not hot anymore. Before 3 drops was all I needed for 1 platter, and now I use the entire packet, and it’s not spicy. Might as well use my own hot sauces. It’s so bad.

I waited in line for my online order at pick up behind someone else as the cashier/food server helped him first but then the server walked away from me to help a female walking in placing an order. As i had had to wait for both of them in front of me, the server offered extra sauces to both of them but when she gave me my online order not only did she not offer me extra sauces, she just gave me one small single hot sauce packet. Then when i drove home and took out my $100 order out of the two bags, it was incorrect.

Disappointing Drop in Quality - Cold, Stale Food & Missing Sauce
I've been a fan of The Halal Guys for a while, but my last order was deeply disappointing. The quality of the food has taken a serious nosedive, to the point where I don't think I can recommend it anymore.
The food—the meat and rice—was not just lukewarm, it was cold. It tasted like it had been sitting out for a long time, leading to a truly stale and old flavor and texture. This is a huge letdown, as their food is supposed to be served fresh and hot.
To make matters worse, the order was incomplete: the sauce was missing. The iconic white and hot sauces are what make The Halal Guys' platters what they are, and without them, the meal was incredibly dry and bland.
If this is the new standard, I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

The food is ready quickly and the order accuracy is typically on point. The French fries are TO DIE FOR when properly salted. The baklava can be better - it's too wet with honey but still very tasty. It's a healthy meal that I try to get once a week. Good stuff, great staff!

A good branch location, probably the best I've been to. The food and service here is all good. The best things to order here has to be the bowls and french fries. The fries here are pretty top notch. The white sauce they put on the bowl dishes is fantastic too. The falafel here is really good and crispy too.
