Twas a cold and dreary night, and my stomach was grumbling with hunger. I was craving food NOW. My go-to halal restaurant was going to take an hour to deliver, so I had to decide: stick with the familiar, or take a risk and try a new spot--Mr. Halal? *stomach growls* - definitely the new halal place. Mr. Halal turned out to be surprisingly pleasant! The food was delicious, and their Mr. Halal sauce was a standout. The rice platters, falafel, and gyros were tasty, though I wish they'd included more meat in the dishes. I also enjoyed their pita with hummus - it was different from what I was used to! Safe to say, my stomach was satisfied that night. It's definitely a spot I'd order from again and would recommend!

For what it is, counter style Halal food, it is fantastic, tasty, plentiful and great value for the price. Clean, too and fresh ingredients. Staff is friendly. I've been 3 times now for take out, as you cannot eat in. 1st visit tried the combo of falafel and Chicken and rice platter. Next 2 visits, went with the chicken and rice, but I would get the combo or falafel again. All 3 were great and I was full, even over full, before being able to finish the portion. At $12 total, it's hard to beat. In the picture, it looks like there is more lettuce and greens because that's how I ordered it. Typically you get 1/2 the salad. I asked specifically for less rice and more salad and they were happy to accommodate. The white sauce tastes great as does the green. The red hot sauce is good and the orange "mild" hot sauce is just okay. I always get an extra side green sauce as it's so fresh, delicious, and a great accompaniment to the other items in the platter. I used to live in that neighborhood in my college years and this wasn't there. If it was, I would've eaten from there at least weekly, maybe more. Great budget eats! Fills me for 2 meals or all day. Go try Mr Halal.

Great atmosphere and service. Delicious fresh food with a twist on classic dishes. Will definitely be going back again and again.

Absolutely delicious. All of the ingredients, vegetables, halal chicken, rice, seasoning.. everything is on point. Hard working crew. Easy to find. Open early and late.

Great tasting food and portion size is amazing!! One of the best places for quuck chicken/lamb/falalafel over rice or as gyro. Great staff and amazing service.

Came back here after a long hiatus in Texas. Was really missing good Gyro and Halal. I've tried all the places in the Albany area, but this by far is the best. I arrived today around 3pm and the place was non-stop busy, that is how good it is. I always like to go in and place my order in person, since the servers are very nice, and pile on the toppings, unlike the other places that always skimp. I ordered the Lamb over rice. The rice is the best in town. It is not over or under cooked. It is just right and tasty. The lamb is out of this world. You can tell the other places use the prepacked stuff. This tastes way better. I only get the mixed veggies with tahini sauce, but I see others loading everything on it, and the servers don't hold back. He kept asking me if that is all I wanted, as they really want to serve the customer well. My wife ordered the chicken gyro, because she loves how they do the chicken here. It is red like the Tandoori chicken, and with oh so much flavor, and not too spicy. I really missed this place and am glad to see it doing well. It is hands down the best Halal and Gyro in my vicinity.

Run, don't walk! Mr. Halal is one of the newer halal spots in the city and it's absolutely delicious! The service is fast and it is in college town, but even if there's a line, it moves fast. They stay open late and the staff is super friendly. You can sit there and eat or take out. I always do takeout. The portions are great and it's fresh food that doesn't break the bank. I like that they let you choose your toppings on the rice platters and don't just have lettuce on the side. My go to is the falafel over rice. Beware of the hot sauce if you can't handle heat. It's fresh made and spicy. They have a mild version which is delicious as well. All of the sauces are tasty and the food is super fresh. Definitely check them out!
