Halal Grill Express: Reviews & Ratings
Sort of a hole in the wall in a shopping center with deferred maintainence. I've tried their chicken wrap and lamb kebab and the lamb was some of the best I've ever had. Not gamey at all probably some type of Dorper. The chicken for me was not good and seemed like it had been cooked before and then microwaved for when I ordered. I would reccomend ordering the lamb kebab. The guy at the register is always very gracious. The place is never crowded, it looks like they could do with half their current space. Give this restaurant some business so it stays in business!
Good food, the afghani wrap is delicious! Clean and lots of seating inside. Friendly staff, fast service.
So delicious! Loved the food so much here, the afghan wrap was the best i've had, both chicken and beef are delicious. the plate was also really good, hummus was fresh, rice was yummy, and chicken was cooked to perfection, and lamb had no bad smell like some restaurants do. Service was also bit slow (came with 9 people so had large order) but still the owner was nice and service was very good, he came and asked multiple times if he could get us anything. Store is tucked away from central folsom, near the library. I'm very confident it would be a very popular spot if more people knew about this place!
Absolutely delicious. The inside is clean and they had fun music playing inside. The staff were kind and fast putting the order together. At the front they have a beautiful display of small dessert bites that looked amazing. The flavors of the lamb wrap were like fireworks in my mouth. The loaded fries were so fragrant and the meat what tender and delicious. Will absolutely be back
We were greeted with friendly customer service. This was the best Halal we have ever had. Ordered the chicken kabob plate, with a side of eggplant. Quality cuts of meat chicken was seasoned properly and not over or undercooked. It was a reasonable price for a large portion. The eggplant was also amazing! Taziki sauce was full of flavor. And we enjoyed the bread and hummus as well. Thank you and we shall return!
The best chicken kabob in the area, tender and spiced well. Pleasant owner and friendly service.
The welcome my family received was only matched by the lovely food. Will be eating there again and again. Ali
Came here on a whim after the petting zoo nearby & glad we did. Friendly service, delicious food, generous portions & reasonable price. We will be back!
I get gas at the station just across the street where this spot is. After reading Yelp reviews we were not walking, but running there! It was a quiet week day evening; we were quickly helped. Owner did let us know it would be about 15-20 minutes because of the kabob and everything is made to order. We definitely don't mind time for quality! When he brought out the plate, I swear we might've both drooled a bit just from the aroma. The flavors of the meat, rice, hummus, fresh salad + light olive/vinegar oil dressing was just such a lovely taste bud experience! We also tried a few different kinds of baklavas + Turkish Delights to top it all off. This place will be frequented by us!
This restaurant had great Google reviews and the Few Yelp reviews were also wonderful even though there were not a lot. We decided to give it a shot because it looked so good. We made the right decision. We were greeted and when we placed our order informed it would take a little bit to grill our items, which we did not mind. Every bite was delicious. The rice by itself was even flavored perfectly. I'm very glad I got the combo because while the lamb of course did not disappoint, the chicken was so tender and delicious also. The sauces, hummus and even the vinaigrette on the salad was delicious. More people need to go give this restaurant a try because they will be back.
