Absolute best Gyros and Platters in the Capital Region. My favorites are the chicken over rice and the combo gyro, the portions are great and the flavors are PERFECT! Quality you can taste. The best.

Disappointing as a halal place. We got the chicken parm pizza. Old chicken and only 2-3 small pieces of chicken per slice, if that. Picture attached.

They have an idiot answering phone calls from the customers. He hung up the phone while I was talking the first time I called. I called again and he told me my question is too long and answered me very rudely.

I bought an unlabeled bag of frozen chicken cutlets from this establishment and told it was halal . However when I went home I looked up cases of cutlets and Tyson’s cutlets looked identical. Next, we googled the code on the bag “p-5839.” The search result showed Tyson chicken cutlets. The next time we came we ordered prepared food and asked the older man about the cutlet situation. He didn’t have the boxes, he said, and we should trust him.

UPDATE 9/19/24: Owner insists it is halal. Ok, now here is the problem: when you repackage bulk items for individual sale, the legally required information and nutrition facts is no longer on there. Even if it’s halal, you have repackaged it in a way that is not legal and it’s for this very reason: the customer cannot see an expiration date, manufacturer, nothing.

Another halal store in the area sells the same thing and I say to them also: when you skirt the rules and introduce a level of doubt, you will learn why the rules are there in the first place. To remove doubt and to allow the customer to know what is inside and when it expires. Your response?

We are long time customers who visit whenever we are in town. I am no longer confident that all the meat is halal as claimed. I bought an unlabeled bag of frozen chicken cutlets from this establishment and told it was halal . However when I went home I looked up cases of cutlets and Tyson’s cutlets looked identical. Next, we googled the code on the bag “p-5839.” The search result showed Tyson chicken cutlets. The next time we came we ordered prepared food and asked the older man about the cutlet situation. He didn’t have the boxes, he said, and we should trust him. We asked if he had boxes for any of the other items on the menu, like the turkey on the subs. He didn’t. He became upset with us saying we should trust him. He said to my kids (ages 10 and 12) “you’re drinking Pepsi without knowing if it’s halal!” That tells you about their limited understanding of halal—as if sugar and water needs to be Islamically slaughtered! After all the arguing he produced one box showing halal “tenders”—-still not cutlets. We asked his daughter (wearing tight clothes and no hijab) for a halal certificate. She pointed to a food safety certificate.

In summary, it is doubtful whether they really understand what halal slaughter is. And even if they do, their defensive reaction is certainly concerning for anyone who takes their religion seriously. The next halal place I went to showed us a box without issue. These people are rude, telling us we could leave. Ask yourself one question: why would they remove the box before selling it? If the item were permitted to be sold individually, the bags would be labeled as such. Just another cause for doubt.
