Halal Grill Express (حلال Kabob+Shashlik) is hands-down one of the best spots in Folsom for anyone craving authentic, high-quality Mediterranean and West Asian flavors. Located right near City Hall, it’s a bright, modern, and welcoming space that clearly prioritizes quality and hospitality.
What Makes it Stand Out:

The Signature Kabobs: You can’t go wrong with the Chicken Kabob Plate. The meat is incredibly tender and perfectly charred, served on a bed of fluffy, seasoned rice that hits the spot every time.

The Hummus & Sides: The hummus here is buttery smooth and tastes amazingly fresh. Even the salad is a highlight—vibrant, crisp, and clearly prepared with care rather than as an afterthought.

Unique Favorites: If you want something a bit different, the Afghani Wrap (stuffed with fries and seasoned meat) and the Loaded Fries with garlic sauce are absolute game-changers.

Hospitality: A huge part of the experience is the owner, Masi. He is genuinely one of the nicest people you'll meet, making everyone feel like a regular from their very first visit.

Whether you’re dining in to enjoy the clean, neon-lit atmosphere or ordering takeout (which is always packed with impressive care), this place never misses. It’s fresh, it’s flavorful, and it’s a must-visit in the area!

I love this place! The food is absolutely delicious—so flavorful, perfectly spiced, and full of authentic taste. I always order the lamb because it’s just that good, and whether you choose the wrap or the rice plate, you can’t go wrong. The pickles are a standout too. It’s the perfect spot for takeout or delivery. I’m obsessed and highly recommend this place!

The taste of the food was excellent. I like it very much. But the prices that get in the way of this taste. It should be a little more affordable. Or something should be offered for free

Happened upon this restaurant just passing through with no expectations. Was very pleasantly surprised. The food was so delicious with big portions. The sauces are so good as well. Would totally comeback if I was in the area again.

I really enjoyed the food. The flavors were amazing and the food was very fresh. I had the Koobeede plate, which came with a very nice rice and salad, and a Hummus and some other sauces. The salad was very fresh and tasty. The roasted tomato was great and the portions were generous. Great job guys!

The food is incredible. Little bit of a wait but the portions are generous and not pricey. The wraps are particularly amazing. The quality and attitude from staff is good as well. Highly recommend
