NYC HALAL EATS

If you're a fan of flavorful, hearty mixed platters, this place is an absolute must-visit! The portions are generous, and every dish is packed with fresh, bold flavors. Whether you're craving tender grilled meats, savory rice, or perfectly seasoned sides, their platters have it all. What really sets them apart is their late-night hours — they're open well into the night, making it the perfect spot for a satisfying meal after a long day or an evening out. The service is always friendly, and the food is consistently delicious. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for a late-night feast that doesn't compromise on quality!

First time here and not so bad. Went in person to order food. They had a variety of options. Orders their chicken entree and mixed platter. Both were delicious. Only the wait time was a bit of a while. Other than that definitely worth the wait

A must try street food restaurant experience thats open late and will light up your taste buds with flavor! This restaurant started off in NYC as a street food cart legend! FIRST TIMER??----> Get the mixed platter with white sauce snd chipotle sauce and feel free to try all the other amazing sauces as well. The mixed platter comes with seasoned rice, seasoned gyros, flavorful chicken, salad and amazing fries. Ive ate at this restaurant so many times that it should tell you amazing they are. They also offer milkshakes, wings, chicken tenders, various sandwiches, burgers, wraps, and even fried seafood like fish and shrimp! Cant forget the NY bodega classic, chopped cheese on a hero! A must try experience !!!! Open late as well and quite lively!

Got a chance to make way out here to see if this place is on par with NYC food I've had. I ordered the Chopped Cheese Hero and also their Big Sal Burger as well. The chopped cheese hero was cool was expecting mad flavor but it decent at best 7.5. The Big Sal Burger was just as unmemorable in terms of flavor just basic burger nothing earth shattering here 7.3. The wait time was horrible too I don't know if what was going on back there but over 45 min for two sandwiches is crazy. I did like the menu it has some other options I'm willing to try but not anytime soon. I was given a pop for the wait, which was cool. but overall, just another grease pit spot in the city 7.4.

Coming here was ok the service was not that good the lady taking my order was very rude asked for peppers on the side and wants to be rude for no reason. No hair nets and the lady making the food is literally touching everything making plates touching other stuff and not changing her gloves other lady was on the register and just put on gloves and don’t even wash her hands waited 20 mins for my food and other people came in there after me and they got there food before me. The mango lemonade doesn’t even taste like lemonade it taste like straight water with mango flavoring. The chopped cheese on a hero is salty asf and greasy. The saltio fries don’t have no flavor The fries were salty and they were not cooked all the way through doesn’t taste like no type of flavor just salty the chicken is bland. The mix chicken with the lamb platter was the only thing that tasted good and only good. Really no where to sit and no where to park! If you end up going to this establishment please make sure you have somewhere to park because you will get ticket

New York Halal Eats has always been synonymous with quality halal food, and their Devon location is no exception. While the taste and quality remain consistent with what you’d expect from their flagship locations, the vibe here is unique and slightly different from the bustling energy of New York. The Devon location offers a more relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. It’s well-maintained, providing a clean and welcoming environment where you can enjoy a meal with your family, including kids. The ambience is a perfect mix of fast-food convenience with the comfort and warmth of a casual dining spot. The staff are friendly, and the service is quick, making it an ideal spot whether you're looking for a casual lunch or dinner. While New York is known for its vibrant and high-paced street food culture, the Devon location takes that same iconic taste and pairs it with a more laid-back experience. It still captures the essence of authentic New York halal food with bold flavors and generous portions, from their flavorful lamb gyros to their juicy chicken platters, all complemented by their signature white and hot sauces. Overall, New York Halal Eats at Devon offers the same mouthwatering food that’s loved across the board but with a slightly different pace, making it a great destination for a quick yet satisfying meal that can be enjoyed in a family-friendly setting.

DELICIOUS! I read some reviews and was Skeptical, but OMG those reviews are WRONG. I went on a Friday at 2pm. The food was flavorful, plentiful, and mouthwatering! I called in and placed my order. The staff was Very patient while i figured out what I wanted. I placed my order and my food was ready when I arrived. The area was safe, just busy. No sketchy people around. I felt very comfortable as we ate in the restaurant. We ordered the cheese steak, loaded fries, and mozzarella sticks. Everything was fresh and amazingly good! We got red velvet and strawberry shortcake for dessert. Both were also delectable. Every time we went to pack up, we opened up the tin and started eating it again. We were helped by Shagufta,Kausar, Mohammed. They were all so sweet and patient as we decided what Else to order on our way home lol.

Lots of media attention and coverage on videos… we got the best food and the best service, there is cool open concept atmosphere and honestly great hosts. I would’ve liked to see more table management/ items, like salt and pepper or simple hot sauce, but the location is maybe not safe for some of those items being so close to low income/ maybe risking staff safety. But it’s nothing but awesome and great food. :) proud of the owner/ promoter and everyone working there. Really putting Middle Eastern food on the map .

I see the reviews mentioning bad service but I didn't have the same experience. Maybe the night staff is friendlier, since we walked in at around 12:30am and were greeted with smiles. The food came out pretty fast, and was hot. We ate in. Not the cleanest tables, I have to admit, Everyone was impressed with the flavors. The meat was seasoned well, not too salty, moist and not overcooked. We ordered two mixed platters and two gyros. We were super full and had leftovers. The white sauce was SO GOOD. I want it on everything, for ever. Compared to similar places the prices were reasonable. For what we ordered, and the portions we received anyway. I wanna get back as soon as I can, but the flavors are strong and distinct, so I can see getting tired of it. I can see myself going back once a month or so.

The playlist needs an update, the same head banging songs on repeat was getting annoying. The service was good, the ladies in the kitchen were all working as fast as they could to get all the food out together. Ordered a bunch of items from the menu but it was a little underwhelming in terms of flavors. The MOE Burger didn't look like much but it was the best tasting item we ordered!!! - definitely going back for it

Sitting in the car, and I'm refusing to order food. My man saw foxcito's review and darted here. I'm in the middle of my workday, so while he's paying to park, I walk in holding my laptop. I smiled at the female cashier and said hi! She scoffed, rolled her eyes and started busying herself with a rag and a clean counter. Really? Then a patron pulled out a phone and started filming me on the sly... is it because I'm African-American? Because I'm holding a laptop? Is it my glasses or my grey shoes? I wanted my man to get his food made right, so I sat and waited. Here's hoping the food is good. So owners, do you serve Black people?

The platter comes with both rice and fries. The sauces are the real deal. It's good and fills you up to the core

I enjoyed the gyro and white sauce, but I was less of a fan of the chicken and rice. The rice had an off flavor that didn't go well with the meats. The French fries with white sauce were delicious. Great white sauce!

Love this place, saw on tiktok and we decided to go. The drive was a bit long but it worth it. The amount of food they pack chicken. The employee was very nice. And she welcome everyone into the restaurant. Street parking. Price is reasonable. The menu is big. Will come back to try other food on the menu.

I didn't experience any rudeness like many reviewers. Food wasn't the worst nor the best. Decent. I don't know of many halal places near downtown but this particular neighborhood has plenty. What sets this place apart is they're an American version because aside from falafel & various Indian or Mediterranean dishes they serve New York classics such as Philly cheese steaks & chopped cheese. The price point is definitely on the higher side because I paid almost $40 for two entrees & a side. Exercise patients because the food will take upwards of 10-15 minutes. The fries were the worst of the bunch. They could benefit with some seasoning. I wanted to indulge in the interesting milkshakes such as Cinnamon Toast Crunch & fruity pebbles but maybe another time.

So happy to hear NYC halal eats in Chicago.. I had this place when in NYC in it was on point. We had the lamb gyro & jerk chicken, which I would def recommend. Open till 4 am, so now I don't have to worry if we want some late night eat now.. Get here & enjoy!

The fish and chicken platters were tasty, but our instructions were not followed for a example we ordered NO white sauce but we were giving plenty and it was a complete over kill on the food, we also received green onions on the fajitas when we specifically said NO onions and the packaging of food were not handled with care.

Great food and service even on a busy day. Definitely the place to visit. Highly recommend the chop cheese and the lamb platter. ~Happy

Where culinary disasters are redefined. For the bargain price of $48, I was served a philly steak that resembled a culinary crime scene--a horrifying mush of dubious origins, melded with ancient cheese and embalmed in mysterious spices. Any self-respecting Philadelphian would weep at the sight of this monstrosity. The NYC gyro? An identity crisis on a plate, tasting suspiciously like chicken tikka masala. If cultural confusion was their aim, they've nailed it. Forget about the French fries. Your 'five guys' don't work here. But the crowning achievement of this gastronomic horror show was the "fresh" lemon, a steal at $4. Imagine my surprise when I discovered it was worse than Kool-Aid, and about as fresh as a decade-old fruitcake. Do yourself a monumental favor and stick to the reliable pizzas, burgers and fries. Don't squander your money or energy on this travesty. Unless, of course, you have a peculiar craving for subpar Indian/Pakistani takeout masquerading as a Philly-NYC fusion. In that case, this might just be your culinary nirvana. Bon appétit! Or perhaps more fittingly, abandon all hope, whomever may so choose to enter here.

Service need a lot more training and common sense . Don't enjoy my experience, the food is also not worth coming back unfortunately, we were really excited about new halal bud but it didn't meet any minimum expectations. Disappointing

Keep it moving, not a solid spot. The cheesesteak and the chopped cheese were both broke.

Me and my siblings came here on Eid and although the restaurant was a little on the warmer side inside, the staff made us feel really welcome and apologized for the AC issues at the time. Service was great and the chopped cheese was so good! As was the other sandwich my brother got. I have happily been back since, AC is working just great and same great service and delicious food. Makes me want to try everything on the menu!!

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I was so excited to try to this place, but they have ZERO customer service. I was ready to place my order and I asked the cashier (some guy) if this is where i placed my order and he completely ignored me and went about answering his cell phone. This was at 10pm and they were not busy, so idk what was going on, but I will not be returning here.

This place has some of the rudest people working there. We walked in and waited a few minutes, nobody acknowledged us. Then we walk up to the register and whoever the cashier was didn't even look at us, when we asked him where do we order, he picks up his cell phone and turns away from us lol. Garbage service, we walked out right then and there. Avoid this place like the plague.

I have tried a few dish and I have yet to be disappointed with service, the quality of the food, the rapid turnaround from placing the order to completion! And they are open late!

We ordered online and received a text saying our order was ready. Then when we got inside we waited for over an hour, when we asked about the food they said another 30 minutes. We left without any food. Very disappointed we were excited to try this place, but won't be coming back.

Customer Service wasn't bad but I would've appreciated if the cashier communicated that they "ran out of Lamb" before I paid then telling after the fact when I saw he was talking to one of the food preps before I paid. Kinda hard to believe a Halal restaurant ran out of Lamb but I chopped it up to them being a new location. I paid for a Lamb Gyro, Chicken Philly, and loaded cheese fries instead I got a Chicken Gyro, Chicken Philly and fries with cheese. Which would have been okay if the food quality made up for it. The Food wasn't bad but I think this restaurant is more about quantity and the look /aesthetic of the food as opposed to the actual flavor.

Ok, let me start off with the fact the this place was so bad that I just made my first yelp account to review them. I came here to eat with my daughter and we asked for milkshakes on our way out, I waited about 15 minutes while watching the staff gossip and stand around till I mentioned how long till my milkshakes are ready. The employee who took my order apologized for forgetting to start making them. No one seemed to know how to work the milkshake machine so I continued to wait another 15 minutes before both my milkshakes were ready. After taking a few sips of my milkshake I sip up a metal SCREW!! how could they let something like this happened? I almost choked, or broke my tooth.

perfect late night spot for friends! i'm a regular here and have gone multiple times a week. the staff are very friendly and recognize my friends and always greet us with a smile. the platters are insanely filling for their price and are always loaded with fries, a salad, rice, a choice of meat, and their delicious white sauce! sometimes, it's so full that they can't close the box. no matter what day of the week, it's always filled with people at night and every one of their sauces compliment their foods perfectly. their red sauce is the spiciest sauce i've ever tried, which is great since i have such a high tolerance and it's hard to find a restaurant with a spicy sauce that satisfies me. their lemonades are so refreshing and always runs out later at night. also, Sayheed has the best service and always makes sure me and my friends leave happy.

The food is seasoned very very good. The times I've been there the service has been great.

Good food and service the Ambiance is pleasant and the atmosphere is great too. Am I glad to have found this restaurant in my area

Place really went downhill. Besides the fact that the owner stands over the food picking his nose. It was great in the beginning.

So I visited a different location and the staff and food was great. I was excited about this location opening. Unfortunately, the wait was too long, and the food was so so. My platter looked nothing like the one on video or close to the one i previously purchased at the other location. There were tik tokers present who were all behind the counter filming. That's not right at all. The platter that they made for tik tokersdid not look like mines. Considering the commute there I'll opt for a fabulous Indian bakery and restaurant where the wait is not long and the food is banging.

The food was amazing I came from seeing them on social media all over the place one thing they should work on is the girls in the front paying more attention to the customers I had the Philly cheese steak and platter the bread they make there Philly is the best I ever had and holds very well definitely will be coming back but they should focus more on the front girls front are in La La land
