I was out an about looking for something to eat an decided to try this place out since i've never had Halal before. I decided upon the mixed platter with chicken, beef an rice with all the other ingredients an white sauce an low an behold I was impressed with how much flavour was in each bite an how bit the serving size was for around 14 bucks it couldnt be beat. If your in the mood for something diffrent this place has quite the menu with a location beside it that does shakes. You wont be disappointed if you want a sub or Halal check them out if your in the area.

I stumbled across this place and it was excellent in service, also there cafe next door was phenomenal I had there chicken Shwarma and falafel along with there lotus Latte, the Shwarma was perfect with the sweetness of there pomegranate molasses, the falafel had a nice crispness with there herb filling gave it a nice lift, will return for more .

The food was outstanding—flavorful, well-prepared, and clearly made with attention to detail. We ordered the mix platter and it exceeded our expectations. The meat was delicious and plentiful. The Persian pickles and pickled turnips took this dish over the top.

The service was equally impressive. Staff were friendly, attentive, and efficient, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.

Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality and portion sizes. Overall, Basically Halal is a fantastic spot and definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for delicious food, great service, and good value.

Hands down the worst customer service experience ever. They messed up our order and then had the nerve to accuse my boyfriend of trying to scam them — because they couldn’t get the order right. We drove 40 minutes for a beef platter (he’s super picky and only eats beef), and they gave us beef AND chicken.
We called, let them know the order was wrong, and they told us to come back and they’d fix it. So we drove another 40 minutes, only to be met with rudeness and accusations? Over a $14 plate??

And let’s be real, the food’s not even that good. Never again.

Food was really good . Had a falafel wrap , beef sharwama & a chicken rice platter today . I am kinda shocked by these reviews , I’ve eaten there a few times & never had any issues . Staff is friendly , music they playing is obliviously amazing . Crazy how our Arab community comments here on this place . 2 very young people opened this & tbh I bet if you are dissatisfied with the food , tell them and they fix it . Mc Donald’s mess up orders daily , yall return to that place right ? But don’t wanna give a non chain restaurant a chance . Btw try next door also owned by the basically halal owner , „ Keffiyeh Cafe „ it’s amazing 😍 . Monoculture of my falafel because I ate it fast 😂

The food and flavor is in the first word of the name of the establishment BASIC… but the customer service and atmosphere is 5/5.
