“While traveling upstate, I honestly wasn’t sure I’d find a good spot that accommodates halal dietary needs. Those trips can be hit or miss, especially the further you get out. But to my surprise, I came across 845 Halal and it definitely delivered. Right across the street, there was also a Crown Fried Chicken and another halal-friendly spot, so it was clear this area had options, but I decided to give 845 Halal a try. I ended up chatting with the brother of one of the founders, who shared that their family has been in the restaurant business for about 30 years and owns multiple spots in the area. That kind of longevity says a lot. The food itself is exactly what you’d expect from a solid halal fast food spot, burgers, fried chicken, over rice platters, but done right. Everything I had was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. I played it safe this time since it was my first visit, but I definitely had my eye on the jerk chicken. Looking back, I probably should’ve just gone for it. The setup is straightforward, quick service, casual vibe, and they do have some seating available. One thing to note, though, no public restroom, so plan accordingly if you’re stopping by during a longer drive. Overall, if you’re passing through upstate New York and need a reliable halal option, this is a spot worth checking out. If I lived nearby, I could easily see myself coming here a couple of times a week. Next time, I’m definitely going for that jerk chicken.”
