"Let’s face it, Halal Guys isn’t what it used to be. I used to be a regular at a location in Boston, and in LA, but it’s just not hitting the same these days. In recent years, I’ve been turning to New York Chicken & Gyro to get my halal platter fix. My go-to is the lamb platter with the usual 50/50 rice to salad split, and plenty of white sauce. While some restaurants have gone a little too deep into mayo territory for my taste with their white sauce, New York Chicken & Gyro keeps it tangy, adding a pleasantly complimentary flavor to the meat without being distracting. What I really appreciate is the consistent cooking of the rice; it never ventures into overcooked territory, and raw grains are nowhere to be found. At $14.99, it’s a great deal, too — the plates are fully loaded, large enough to sometimes become two meals. The newest location is in Venice, a massive boon for the Westside dining scene." - Eater Staff
