“Absolutely great crepes and best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had. Everything is freshly made and perfectly seasoned without going overboard. Lentil soup is to die for as is the homemade (well, everything is homemade) mango dessert. Hidden gem. Highly recommend.”

“4.5 ⭐️ I came here with my husband on a Saturday night and we loved it! We didn’t know what to expect. Also we pulled into a strip mall and were a little weary to say the least. Ended up being fantastic! We ordered the cold mixed platter, phyllos (beef). They give you a ton of pita lasting into the meal. I had the combo of falafel, chicken shish, rice. And he had lamb, beef shish saitain style(? Maybe misspelled). Everything was so delicious. No ‘funky’ pieces of any meat, very good portions. I liked the falafel but wish I doubled in chicken. Dessert - u would highly recommend the lava cake.The service is so friendly. Our waitress Toni was patient to explain the menu to us. And any person who helped or dropped off food was very nice.We will absolutely be back here. Also note it is BYOB. Nice atmosphere, clean and style was more upscale than I expected.”

“Amazing food and great portion sizes. I filled up on all the different types of salad before my entree, but I have to say that the dessert did it for me. Let me tell you when I say that I "despise having cheese in my konafa (spelled phonetically as best I could)" I seriously can't stand it. I would eat it at people's homes just to be polite. This place made me rethink that assertion. The cheese tasted oh so good. It was gooey and came out like a string, nice and warm. Oh so tasty. I don't even like this dessert crunchy but I ended up eating 3/4 of one (my dad took the last quarter) and my son looked at me and wondered how I could eat it with cheese (seriously, I couldn't stand this dessert with cheese before I had it here). I wanted to take the leftovers home with me but thankfully someone else beat me to it (my stomach says "thank you"). As for the entree, I had the shawerma without the spice and that was so filling and I loved the taste of the salad that went with it. My wife had the shish kebab with filet mignon and let me tell you, get it medium rare as it was cooked to absolute perfection (bright red and still juicy). I know what I'm getting next time. Lastly, the people who served us made it even more enjoyable. It's such a pleasant atmosphere and great service that I felt like I was eating at home because I so comfortable. The managers/owners went out of their way to make sure we didn't need a thing and spoke to us about how they prepare food differently than other restaurants thereby giving them a distinct competitive advantage. In summary, what a wonderful experience and I'm telling you, I'm simply going back for the dessert.”

“I recently visited Halal Spot and had the pleasure of trying their mixed chicken and lamb platter. From start to finish, my experience was exceptional. The platter was generously portioned, offering a perfect balance of tender, flavorful chicken and succulent, juicy lamb. Both meats were perfectly seasoned, delivering a delightful blend of spices that were both aromatic and deeply satisfying. The rice was cooked to perfection, and the accompanying fresh salad added a nice, crisp contrast to the savory meats. The white sauce and hot sauce provided were the ideal complements, enhancing the flavors without overpowering the dish. The white sauce was creamy and rich, while the hot sauce had just the right amount of kick to it. The service at Halal Spot was prompt and friendly. The staff were knowledgeable about the menu and took the time to ensure my order was prepared exactly to my liking. The atmosphere was welcoming and clean, making it a great spot for a casual meal. Overall, Halal Spot exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the mixed chicken and lamb platter to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal. I will definitely be returning to try more of their offerings!”
