    We, a family of four, go there about once per year. And we are never disappointed. We find plenty of options including vegetarian options. The price is very reasonable, especially considering the price in the other restaurants nearby. The food takes little time to prepare and is always tasty. Parking is a bit of a problem though, especially in the weekend.

    I eat here 2 times a week with receipts to prove. This place double charged me and consistently failed to resolve it, and accused me of not paying when i was initially double charged . Horrible management runs this place

    I ask the guy in the front "how big is the rice platters with chicken kabob?" He answers with saying "they are decently large and more than enough to fill you" I spend $15, wait a few minutes, and open my eyes to the smallest 'large' rice platters I've ever seen. Smaller than the small size bowl at Halal guys. Quite disappointing. Then I think to myself, 'maybe the food tastes really good so it may be worth it'. Unfortunately, I was wrong, and my taste buds suffered. The rice was so stale and hard, and I'm sure it was old. The chicken was quite stale and had no flavor. I would NOT call that a kabob. js pieces of chicken that were flavored with basic salt and pepper. I don't even know how people can consider this worthy of their money. At least do the basics and give good rice. And they don't bother giving extra sauce, which is quite dissapointing as they only put one line of sauce, which isn't even noticable considering how dry the chicken is. This at most should cost only $8 for the size and considering the taste, $5. If you want food worth much more than this, go to another shop. Plenty of better Halal places around.
