The Halal Guys in King of Prussia

 

The Halal Guys have been around for over two decades gracing the nation with their delicious Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes. They’ve been extremely popular in New York. They are known for having extremely long lines but their faithful customers know it’s all well worth the wait! The Halal Guys have branched out in other areas throughout the U.S including their recent location in King of Prussia. I was very lucky and had the opportunity to enjoy a sneak peek of their menu before their grand opening. 

When I arrived, I was welcomed by a very pleasant staff. I couldn’t wait to order some food, dig in and experience what everyone else has been buzzing about.  I chose to go with their combination platter of falafel and chicken. This also included a generous side of rice, pita, tomatoes and lettuce. They’re also known for their special white sauce and hot sauce. I asked for extra white sauce. I don’t know what the secret is with their white sauce. All I know is that it gave this platter an extra touch of pizzazz to it and I wanted it all over my dish! I had to go easy on the hot sauce as I was warned that it was very hot. I had just the right amount where I could tolerate the spiciness. 

I was quite impressed with my first experience eating at The Halal Guys. The falafel was cooked perfectly. Some places tend to over cook them, but this place has mastered preparing them just right. And the chicken was delicious, I was extremely satisfied. Let me tell you, looks can be deceiving. I thought I would be able to finish it all. Well, goodness, I was wrong. The Halal Guys sure know how to pack a hefty platter. You’ll be sure to get the right bang for your buck!

Now, it’s only right to end your meal with something sweet and tasty! I indulged on some sinfully delicious baklava! WOW….I should’ve stashed away a few more of these to bring home! The sweet, sticky goodness of this baklava was amazing. If you plan on dining at The Halal Guys, take my word and please make sure to grab some baklava. It’ll make the perfect happy ending to your meal. A huge thanks goes out to The Halal Guys for having me be apart of their preview. Everything was fabulous and I wish them much success at their King of Prussia location.
