"I ordered the vegetarian plate. All items tasted fresh with good flavor. The falafel was the perfect texture, not dried out or greasy like other places. They are generous with the pita bread which is soft and delicious."
"Portion sizes have gotten smaller since opening, and the CHICKEN SHAWARMA RICE BOWL had soooo much flavor before and now the chicken tastes very plain, they are putting less marinade. When they first opened this was the best chicken shawarma I've had on earth. Also sometimes they send pita and other times they don't so it's a crapshoot I fear."

"Ordered Twist and Taste through DoorDash, and it was outstanding! The döner sandwich and wrap were both absolutely delicious. Everything arrived fresh, hot, and well-packaged. The meat was perfectly seasoned and flavorful, the vegetables were crisp, and the sauces tied everything together perfectly. The portions were generous, and the quality exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be ordering again. Highly recommend!"

"Not enough sauce for the big platter, but super good, aromatics and seasoning are 10/10. Needs a little more rice to compensate for the meats and veggies. Fries are nice crispy brown wedges, falafels are good for the price."
"I was really looking forward to trying Hala Express because my family and I love Mediterranean food and have enjoyed it at many other restaurants. Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we’ve had. The lamb tikka was so spicy that it was inedible. The rice was overcooked and burnt, the vegetables were undercooked, and overall the food lacked flavor. Considering how much we paid, we expected a much higher quality meal. What made the experience even worse was the customer service. I called the restaurant simply to let them know how disappointed we were. Rather than apologizing or showing any concern, the manager responded by saying it wasn’t his fault and came across as rude. I had already received a refund through DoorDash, so I wasn’t calling to ask for money back—I just wanted the restaurant to be aware of our experience in the hope that they would take the feedback seriously. Sadly, the food and the way our concerns were handled left a very negative impression. There are plenty of other Mediterranean restaurants that serve much better food and provide far better customer service. Based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend spending your time or money here."

"I got Falafel Bowl and Side Of Falafel. Both were very tasty - falafel were peeping hot and quantity was great. Here are couple of things to consider: 1. There was a lot of basmati rice for bowl. I wouldn't mind a little more salad or hummus with less rice quantity. 2. It came with house sauce which was awesome but it was a small package. The food was very flavorful but it felt dry due to less sauce. I suggest they add a bit of more sauce(s) so it's not dry. I will go back - it's a bit expensive compared to other falafel shops but food is good."
"We always order the family meal package and it did not disappoint. The variety of skewers, from beef to chicken, lamb, and shish kabob, were all cooked perfectly. The meat was tender, flavorful, and consistently delicious across the board. The portions were just right for sharing, and everything felt well-balanced. This really hits the spot every time, and the basmati saffron rice, roasted tomatoes, lavash bread, fresh mint, onions, and house sauce tied everything together beautifully. Overall, a really good, satisfying meal that we keep coming back to."

"The lentil soup is amazing! I've had red lentil soup many a times from different establishments, but none are like Royal Kebabs'. 10/10. The chicken gyro is also very tasty - practically melts in your mouth "
"The 18. Lamb Beef Gyros Wrap was mostly meat. Which I can't be mad at, they packed it up! Definitely worth the price. I'm just someone who likes an equal amount of vegetables with a dish that contains meat. The meat really overpowered the few vegetables that were in there. The cheese sticks (can't remember the dishes name) were seriously the start of the show. Perfect ratio of batter to cheeses, well cooked, and delicious. My only qualm with them is I wish they offered marinara alongside the Tzatziki. Don't get me wrong, I love Tzatziki. But it felt out of place with the cheese sticks. And I know it's very American of me to want marinara with it, but I couldn't stop thinking about how good it would be. Also, their Tzatziki is very watery. The flavor is there! But they maybe need to add or lessen an ingredient that will thicken it. All in all, I give this mean a 7.8/10. Great flavor, meat tastes fresh, well prepared. Just those few areas I mentioned could be worked on."
