Gyros are meant to be good. An easy combination of healthy stuff. These gyros were the most mediocre I have had in my life.
Instead of yogurt, whitened soybean oil.
No spices or mint. Just old flat pale iceberg lettuce a bit of onion and tomato.
Lots of dry chicken and they were big. May make a hungry football player half happy.
Whoever crafted these for us had little interest in pleasing us with flavor.
My impression is that making them big and boring so that they can charge 15$ is all that matters.
Very disappointed!
The neighbors do it much better.
No interest in trying anything from these cheap chain again.

This was my worst experience ever. Food was disgusting and service below arctic temperature.
When you say Shawerma or Doner, it means fresh food not already prepared and stored meat and chicken. Meat was so oily. Bread was wet and smells weird.
I’m so shocked how a chain restaurant can have such performance.
I addressed my complain to an employee, i guess she has no idea what customer service means.
Note:
Keep away and eat somewhere else.

I dont get why there are so many negative reviews. Great food and nice staff. Was hesitant when looking at the reviews but was very pleasantly surprised. (Ordered the combo platter)

We each had the combo plate and ordered fries for our daughter. Food was fresh, and the employees were pleasant.

Food is good but the place is a little too dim. Be aware of the red sauce cuz it’s VERY spicy.

I've ordered twice here and had bad experiences both times. First time a couple months back, they got my order completely wrong; I ordered a chicken and gyro platter for pick up and when I opened the food later it was just gyro without chicken. I gave the place another chance today, and first they made me wait an additional 30 minutes after my pick up time because they ran out of rice. I ordered the same chicken and gyro platter and when I picked up my food after waiting 30 minutes for the rice and opened it later at home, they forgot to put rice in my food. The pick up experience with staff is also always extremely frustrating. Never going back here for food again. Would give a 0 if possible.

We had a falafel plate, hummus and fries. For all of those there are much better and cheaper places around the campus.

I ordered my combo platters through the Halal Guys app.My order was made quickly. The store was clean and had hand sanitizer handy. The employees were very friendly and appreciated our visit. The food was as amazing as ever!
