★★★★★ This place is such a blessing for Florida vacationers who seek halal food. Its not just some halal food, but it is really really good too. The food is very tasty and fulfilling. We tried their Chicken Shawarma and the Philli Cheese steak, and kept going back there every day of our vacation.Also tried the chicken kabab sandwich which was okay. But this five start review is for the shawarma and phiili cheese steak. The first bite you take you are taken aback by the rich flavor that takes over you!! We simply loved the food here. The place is a simple cafe, neat and clean even if you want to sit there and eat.
We went back there at 11:15am the morning we were leaving so we could pack some sandwiches for our journey but they were closed. I wish they are open a little earlier at least in the weekends for lunch.
We went to a another halal place near by and tried the philli cheese steak and realized what we had missed! Posted on October 23, 2013 |

★★★★★ Owner is Very Friendly, Food is also Nice, Halal Sign very prominent Posted on July 10, 2022 |

|
★★★☆☆ Food is mediocre. Brothers trying hard on pizza, hot dog and burgers. Pizza dough was hard, cheese not typical pizza cheese. Hotdog comes plain with sausage only. Wings, hot dog, 3 burgers and medium pizza plus 4 drinks over 80 usd Posted on December 30, 2019 |

|
★★★★★ Amazing service. The owner is super nice. Food is on point and location is very close to Universal Studios. I would definitely go again. Posted on December 27, 2018 |

|
★★★★★ We came from Michigan and heard about this place through the app. The service was great, the owner himself went out of his way to make us feel welcomed. The food itself was also really good. If you make it around this area definitely give this place a try! Posted on December 16, 2018 |

NR be careful with your order as he over charges and and doesn’t even give you the receipt. My advice is go slow with your order in speaking and before placing the order ask for the price as a simple burger with drinks can easily cost u $20 Posted on November 17, 2018 |

★★★★★ Asak, Came from Illinois for Disney trip. Found this place alhamdulillah very good food good customer care. Place is clean and neat. Posted on November 4, 2018 |
|
|
NR Very good, clean place with friendly staff and great food at reasonable prices. Always eat here when we come to Orlando. Good value for your money Posted on September 2, 2018 |
|
|
★★★★★ Food was delicious. We got a cheeseburger with fries, chicken shawarma with fries, buffalo chicken wings and a salad with grilled chicken. Everything was so delicious. Portions were enormous. The owner was really nice and because it was so hot, he gave my husband and I cold bottles of water for our drive back to Winter Garden on the house. This was our first visit and we are definitely going to be back. Posted on July 8, 2018 |
|
|
★★★★☆ I enjoyed a good shwarma and my son went for a cheese burger and loved it. I was surprised that the cheeseburger costs more than a shwarma. Food was good. The delivery of food wasn't fast enough to qualify as "Express", but it wasn't so slow that you would lose patience either. Posted on July 2, 2018 |
|
|
NR Very nice place, owner was very welcoming, even gave us some extras no charge, food very good, will definitely recommend it. Posted on January 30, 2018 |

★★★★★ Went there last night and it was one of the best Halal food places I’ve ever been to. Great food and great staff! Posted on January 6, 2018 |
|
|
★★★☆☆ Food is ok here . Posted on December 31, 2017 |
|
|
★☆☆☆☆ The staff is really rude and I’m from NYC(which is the rudest place). They messed up our ordered and blamed it on us. The food is OK not worth the hassle or the argument she was doing. Will never come back here or wouldn’t ever recommend this place to anyone. Posted on December 28, 2017 |
|
|
★★★★☆ Nice place for a quick bite. Ordered pizza and wings along with shawarma. Perhaps some pickles might add some more flavor to the chicken shawarma...
Owner said ALL ZABIHAH...
Owner was also super nice to offer place to pray inside kitchen. Alhamdulillah Posted on November 21, 2017 |
|
|
★★★★★ Very beautiful and clean and nice place.Strictly halal you can feel it..Thank you very much Posted on September 6, 2017 |
|
|
★★★★★ If I will have to, will give 7 stars. The best place to eat zabihah halal. They serve Tahir zabihah hand cut chicken. Plus food for is so tasty and delicious. Above all, prices are reasonable and most friendly staff. Malika at counter is the best person I met. Overall, highly recommend. Though, ambience is not great, but can take out easily !! Posted on June 30, 2017 |
|
|
★★★★★ Not only is the food outstanding, the people there are the warmest & friendliest anywhere! They stay open late, which is convenient for travel schedules. Something else... they are very halal-concious and welcome inquiries without negative attitude (as I've seen elsewhere). Any time we vacation in Orlando, this place will be a "must-visit" for us! Posted on June 11, 2017 |

|
★☆☆☆☆ Horrible Posted on February 23, 2017 |
|
|
★★★★★ Delicious zabiha halal food , middle eastern style, very Posted on November 26, 2016 |
|
|
★★★☆☆ Good was okay but the cost was not good.
There is a service charge of 10%for dining in! Are you serious!
Plus, I ordered a falafel wrap with fries and was charged $2.99 instead of $1.99 like the menu states. If you come here, ask about every additional charge before final purchase. Posted on October 23, 2016 |
|
|
★☆☆☆☆ Don't go there ! We went there for lunch it is a waste of money . I would not feed my dog what I was served . They just don't care. There are better halal places in Orlando . Posted on October 12, 2016 |
|
|
★★★★☆ We came from the airport and tented the car and was ready to go at 11:45pm. But where could we eat? So after some frantic phone calling around, Abdullah the manager said that even though we were coming 10 minutes after closing time, he said come anyway. They stayed open just for us, and Abdullah was very welcoming. We had the chicken shrawma sandwich and chicken salad and pizza. Chicken dishes were solid, but have to say the pizza crust needs some work. We were driving to Tampa after that and the manager gave us some free drinks for the road! Place was clean too. mA may Allah bless Abdullah and make his business even more successful Posted on September 20, 2016 |

|
★☆☆☆☆ The worst place I ever went to my entire life . No service , no taste now just look at the special offer free wifi ??really Posted on August 12, 2016 |

★★☆☆☆ Asalaamu Alikum. Why do some Muslim business owners greet you with a look and behavior of "I could care less about you and your business"?
When in the vacation land of Orlando/Florida where every second person you meet is an actor or a cast/team member, would it hurt a business owner to smile or act happy? Our Prophet said "Your smiling in the face of your brother is charity."
Why are some Muslim business owners, like at this restaurant, so gloomy in the face of their customers.We tried to engage them in English, dead. In Arabic, dead. With questions, absolute lack of interest. It almost looked like they didn't want us to be there. Maybe they did not.
Only available menu was what's on the wall. Fine. Although I had seen a picture of menu for this restaurant on trip advisor with more options that are apparently not served here or they did not care to elaborate on my options.
I just felt ashamed that we would provide people with this image of Islam. If you stick the word "halal" in the name your business and you play Quran recitation by Mohammad Ayoub on your big screen TV and have paintings of Dome of the Rock and Masjid Nabawe (or something like it) then you better go out of your way to have the best customer service in the universe because you are carrying the name of Islam and representing it. And if you are having a bad day from hell, then just act. ACT like everyone else is acting in this city. Act that you are happy and interested. Maybe you heard of the Hadeeth that implies pretending to cry if you can't cry? Then maybe you should printed to smile and be happy if you are not the happy and friendly type.
I went out of my way to eat at this establishment because I wanted to support a halal business. My kids wanted Papa John's but I insisted on this halal place. Ordered gyro, falafel, pizza and chicken platter. Food was good maybe solid 7/10. Pizza was extra cheesy but at the same time extra ordinary with no distinguishing or redeeming quality. Will not be back even if I lived here.
Oh, and had to buy a bottle of water because they couldn't bother to fill our cups with tap water. And if you "dine in" you will receive zero service but will be charged 10% extra for daring to stick around instead of leaving.
Note: I am not someone who insists that meat is certified Thabeehah/halal. So for example, Kosher is fine by me and places like Olive Garden and Red Lobster. But I go out of my way to seek and support halal places where available.
I can very easily copy and paste this review into trip advisor and edit it for mass consumption, but will not. The idea is for the business owner to read and learn and maybe be advised by other Muslim visitors who may read this. I am not trying to ruin a Muslim establishment. Go halal!

★★★☆☆ This is the first place I have been to that charges a 10% service charge for Dine In. Its a fast food place and not a sit down restaurant so not sure why the owner is charging this additional fee.
We ordered the chicken burgers and the philly cheese sandwich. The food was OK. Posted on March 18, 2016 |

★☆☆☆☆ Very bad experience. Very unfriendly crew. Doesn't give you choice for different kinds of wings: spicy, mild, etc... Doesn't give you choice for salad dressing, etc... Didn't clean the table. Doesn't smile. Posted on August 16, 2015 |
|
|
★★★★☆ Most reviews here capture our same story. Very good, fresh halal middle eastern and American fast food fare, done quickly, well and without too much expense. Come here at least once every trip to Orlando. Haven't had a bad thing from their menu yet. Try it! Posted on August 16, 2015 |

★★★★★ We recently visited Orlando from the UK and on our second day we found this restaurant while we were actually looking for another restaurant. When I asked for directions to the other restaurant, one of the customers asked me where I was from - it turned out that he was a friend of my cousin from the UK - he convinced us to eat there when he told us how great the food was and he wasn't wrong! We loved the food and we must have visited the restaurant about 6 or 7 times during our 2 week stay! The staff were all very humble and polite, very friendly and always offering our kids free drinks! We would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Orlando, in fact, our kids want to go back to Orlando just to visit the restaurant they loved it so much!
For those people expecting a fancy sit-down restaurant, this may not be what you are looking for. But for the people who want good quality, halal food that is reasonably priced then this is definitely the place to go! Posted on June 21, 2015 |
|
|
★★★★★ Beautiful place! The food is great and very welcoming to the customers . Five Stars Masha'allah Posted on May 30, 2015 |
|
|
★★★★★ Great food and very friendly owner. Must go if you visit Orlando! Posted on May 17, 2015 |

|
★★☆☆☆ Did not have a good experience! We ordered a cheese burger and chicken wings. The burger tasted like a frozen patty and the wings were so salty. Quite disappointed. Posted on April 24, 2015 |
|
|
★★★★★ Visited this great place while in Orlando last week. Awesome food and excellent service!! Will definitely go there again the next time I'm in Orlando Posted on March 20, 2015 |
|
|
★★★★★ Very good service and the food was delicious.Great location yummy pizza,we will be back :) Posted on March 17, 2015 |
|
|
★☆☆☆☆ Honestly this was the worse food and service I have ever had in my opinion. The food was cold, burnt, and tasteless. Everything was over priced. In the hour we waited for our food at least 4 people became upset and complained about the delay and the incorrect orders they have received. The service was terrible as well. Will never return to this place. Posted on January 15, 2015 |
|
|
★★★★★ Nice place with good halal food! Posted on January 7, 2015 |
|
|
★★★★★ The location is perfect! The owner was so nice to us mashAllah! He served us a free tea and baklava. It was so nice of him. We ate twice in this restaurant. The food was so delicious. We came from the Universals and stayed at the hotel right next to it. I was really picky to halal food, did not eat anywhere else. Me and my friends went there and dis not regret. MashAllah it is a good place. I recommend it to everyone! Posted on January 7, 2015 |

★★★★★ Great food and service!😊😊 Very kind and friendly atmosphere! Enjoyed eating shawarma and baklava! Posted on January 7, 2015 |

★★☆☆☆ Disappointing! Bland food, poor service, overpriced.
Details (which I hope the owner considers & works on improving):
We went on Friday afternoon, and first thing we noticed is the name of the restaurant is a little different than listed here & than the photo shows. Still easy to spot.
We walked in to find a busy place, very small. Only 6 tables/booths plus one or two smaller tables outside right next to the parked cars. We were lucky there was no line but we still had to wait 10 minutes just to place our order. The staff did not smile, did not look happy, and did not greet us.
After we ordered we were surprised at how expensive it was. Then we saw the receipt had an 18% (!) "dine-in service charge". Wow. You might expect something like that at an elegant restaurant, but certainly not at a hole-in-the-wall eatery. That added over $10 to our bill! Since such a charge is so unexpected at a place like this, they should have a *prominent* sign at the register alerting customers to this charge. Still not sure what it was for - cooking the food, perhaps? (This charge may explain why most customers were picking up take out)
We went to a table & they brought the food within 10-15 minutes. They forgot our fries & hummus, but the person who brought the food pointed out the hummus was not on our receipt. Funny that, since we had ordered it. By then the line was long so we decided not to go back & re-order (the employee did not offer to get us the hummus but instead rushed away saying he would bring the fries.) They also forgot to provide silverware for the salad, so we went looking; there were none at the counter so we had to get someone's attention behind the counter to get forks for us.
The burger was undercooked and the wings were bland (hint: heat alone does not make up for lack of flavor). As an aside, one had a broken bone which is not a good sign as far as chicken quality. The chicken salad was basically some pieces of grilled chicken atop a handful or two of whitish iceberg lettuce and a bit of tomato & onion, more reminiscent of a side salad at McD's than any "chicken salad" I've ever ordered. This may have been worth the $7.99 price with some romaine & dark leafy greens as shown in the menu photo, but what we received should have cost half that..
We were done eating and still no fries, so we asked the same employee again. He brought the fries, and we were not impressed with the lack of flavor. They didn't have salt so we borrowed salt & ketchup from the next table to make them edible.
Some prices: Chicken platter $11.99. 8 chicken wings $7.99. Chicken salad $7.99, cheeseburger $6.99 (add fries for $1.99), philly steak sub $7.99.
We didn't try the pizza but I remember thinking the prices were high and there was no gluten-free option listed.
For what we paid we could have had a nice sit-down dinner with waitress service. We paid around $12 per person for more of a light lunch than a full meal.
We have no plans to return to this eatery. Posted on December 26, 2014 |
|
|
★☆☆☆☆ Food was not very tasty and overpriced. The people serving it were not very helpful. I would not recommend it. Posted on December 26, 2014 |
|

NR Had gyros. Very friendly owner, honestly told me what is fresh. Very good gyros. Will come again Posted on December 25, 2014 |

★★★★★ Very good service and the food was delicious Posted on November 16, 2014 |
|

★★★☆☆ Came here because it was across from my hotel back in December 2013. Very Average food. Too high of a price. These are the type of people who exploit $$$ just because of limited options. Posted on October 10, 2014 |
|
|
★★★★★ Excellent food and service.
Great location.
Yummy pizza.
We will be back :-) Posted on October 7, 2014 |

★★★★★ Visited this Restaurant in Sept2014. Enjoyed our food here. Looked forward to getting here whenever we could. Owner was hands on. Always welcoming and food was prepared freshly to enjoy. Looking forward to coming again. East London. South Africa. Posted on October 5, 2014 |

★★★★★ This place is AMAZING. The owner treated my brother and my two friends like we were his own children. On both of our visits during our week in Orlando (Late August Early September), we arrived at the restaurant around midnight. We were pleasantly surprised that they willingly took our orders and provided optimal service. The owner has an amazing heart and I HIGHLY recommend this place to everyone. We did not order any drinks because our hotel was right up the street but the owner insisted we take something to drink free of charge because he couldn't see us chow down on the shawarma without having something to drink. Totally just blew my mind in regards to his generosity and hospitality. He treats every customer with the utmost respect and is extremely humble. I'm surprised anyone would give this restaurant anything less than 5 stars. Thank you so much for making our trip that much more memorable! (I know I'm late with this review but better late then never right!) Posted on September 25, 2014 |
|
|
★★★★★ Loved this place! Came here for vacation and almost ate here everyday, had various meals from the menu and all of them were great for me and my friends. The service was real good, owner of the restaurant cares for his customers. Definitely recommend this to anyone traveling out in the area. Posted on September 7, 2014 |
|
|
★★★☆☆ They have a limited and somewhat traditional Mediterranean menu. To me their prices seemed a bit on the high side. Posted on September 6, 2014 |
|
|
★★★☆☆ The food is ok and the service is friendly. Portions are very small for the price. I paid 6.99 for only a cheeseburger compared to another place on OBT where a cheeseburger combo with fries and a soda costs 5.99 and yes, the other place's cheeseburger tastes better too. Posted on September 3, 2014 |
|
|
★★★☆☆ Great location; however, the food is simply bland and tasteless. Great owner and very convenient location on International Drive, but I wish he would upgrade the quality of what he serves. My family ordered schwarma, falafel, and chicken sandwiches. The chicken tasted like it was microwaved and bland. Same for the falafel and schwarma. I was hoping this place would serve better food as it was very close to where we were staying for our vacation. Posted on August 21, 2014 |
|
|
★☆☆☆☆ I went to this place while I was on vacation because i saw so many good reviews but the gyros tasted like the frozen ones you get at a supermarket and the bread got stuck to the foil they served the gyro in, the chicken burger was terrible it was not fresh at all. the philly cheese steak was a joke, and to top it off the service there sucked the waitress was very rude I do not recommend this place it is over hyped for no reason Posted on August 11, 2014 |
|
|
★☆☆☆☆ I visited this restaurant from Houston if by chance this was in our city it would have closed long time back. The only reason it's in operation because tourist have very little choice. I could have used the money in good American franchise eating salad and fish and did not had to burn it here. My advise do not experiment. Thanks Posted on August 8, 2014 |
|
|
★★★★★ The owner is such a great guy and the food is so delicious, prices are reasonable. I totally recommend visiting this place if you are around its area Posted on August 4, 2014 |
|
|
★★★☆☆ I checked the reviews and based on them we went there. The food is not bad but not that good.. Limited menu, the place is old, no AC, one bathroom for men/women plus it was un clean at all with no toilet paper. Posted on August 2, 2014 |
|
|
★★★★★ If you come in Halal Food you will be really impress.I tried their Gyro and was really delicious and amazing.The people there are so nice and kind with costumers.The place is so comfortable,nice and clean. If you need from something they can give you right now. Everybody should to try this amazing food.I like this place so much. Come to see it. Posted on June 26, 2014 |

★★★★★ I am an Italian chef and I am very serious about food quality.
Last night me and my wife decided to go to Halal over International drive to try one more time to find our Mediterranean spot . I was very concern about the food because i have being in almost every Mediterranean restaurant in Orlando and not a single one show me real Mediterranean original food quality. I was really surprised when I start eat!...PERFECTION FINALLY EXISTS IN ORLANDO! Amazing customer service, very family ambiance, very friendly and clean, amazing food presentation, the flavor is exquisite, the spices are in the right amount so do not kill the original flavor of the ingredients like chicken, meet or veggies. For the very first time, me as a very picky Cordon blue chef can say " It was a Mediterranean gastronomic paradise experience!".
My wife use to have problems with Mediterranean food..but not this time!!!!!! They have quality in all senses. FINALLY, a 5 stars Mediterranean menu in Orlando. ...CONGRATULATIONS HALAL!!! DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Posted on June 25, 2014 |

|
★★★★★ My sister and I visited orlando in May 2014, being muslim we had to seek halaal food. We ate at Halaal Food express, and i must say what a lovely place!! the food was excellent (falafel sandiwches), the service was efficient and the owner was friendly and helpful. I would recommend this place to everyone seeking something halaal to eat. Posted on June 20, 2014 |
|
|
★★★★★ The food was good. Above all the guy who was there was simply amazing!! He was very friendly, excellent customer service skills and he kept going from table to table and asked if people liked the food or need anything. He was also open to different ideas to do better and asked for feedback. I would recommend this place to anyone not only because of the food but because the guy makes you feel very comfortable and he makes sure that the customers are satisfied.
Great efforts!! Posted on June 18, 2014 |
|
|
★★★★★ Great place and great location! The food, service and location are great for people vacationing in Orlando. It is right across from Wet & Wild on International Dr., which is where a lot of the attractions are. I am a local but will be making my way here whenever I can. Posted on June 10, 2014 |
|
|
★★★★★ I was at Halal Food Express whilst on Holiday in Orlando. at the end of April. The place was located very near to the Bus Stop and right opposite Wet and Wild. The owner was very friendly. The pizza was made fresh and tasted amazing. we also bought gyro's for our journey the next day and those also tasted good. Shukran for our hospitality. Posted on June 9, 2014 |

★★★★★ Excellent food, good service and the owner is a good guy to talk to. The place was clean and the food was yummy. We stayed in Orlando for a week and went back to this place a couple of times. The food was made fresh and served hot. This place is highly recommended for everyone looking for a good food. Posted on May 26, 2014 |

|
★★★★★ Wonderful service, friendly staff and interested in patrons. Good food selection. Very generous. Must visit when in Orlando.
Alhumdolillah Posted on May 16, 2014 |

NR Perhaps the best Pizza in Orlando. We went once with our kidz for Pizza then we ended up going there daily, all 5 days while we were in Orlando. Menu variety, fast friendly service, location and above all price makes this the best in the town. I recommend everyone who goes to Orlando to try their Pizzas.

★★★★★ We came in really late on a Saturday night. Owner was really nice to accommodate us. Food was really good. Will definitely come back. Posted on April 26, 2014 |

★★★★★ Food quality is excellent and talk about Customer service, owner was there so we chit chatted for a bit. Very welcoming environment , I would go there again to try different stuff. Posted on April 8, 2014 |

★☆☆☆☆ Business address is correct but it has a misleading business name. Business name should be called HALAL PIZZA (thats the sign in the store front). I ordered chicken platter for $11.99 and Chicken wings (7 pieces) for $7.99. chicken platter was bland with no taste at all. It appears it was just mixed in some masala and served. the chicken wings was also bland and just marinated in barbecue sauce. this place is like a fast food joint. You can get much better "authentic" Middle eastern food elsewhere for that price. Posted on April 7, 2014 |

★★★★★ We really enjoyed eating here. The restaurant owner and his staff were very nice and welcoming. We had a large family group who ordered different items. Their pizza, gyro and chicken sandwich were particularly good. It's a small place, but great location, near theme parks and open late. Posted on April 6, 2014 |

★★★★★ We went there last week on Saturday and the owner was so welcoming and friendly! He offered us free bottled drinks, but of course we refused. The customer service alone is enough to warrant 5 stars, but the food was excellent as well. Definitely a must-go the next time I'm in Orlando =) Posted on March 26, 2014 |

★★★★★ First time in a Halal pizza restaurant, staff was warm and friendly even though outside was cold. 1 large, 1 small thin crust pizza. Prep and cook time was normal considering meal was made fresh. Pizza crust was soft on top with slight crisp to the bottom without that dough filling feeling you get from other establishments. Thin crust was the perfect to top off our large pie. Price was slightly higher than others but it's halal....Would definitely recommend others and will return in the future. A place you can take you family and feel comfortable with staff and owners. Oh yes quite clean as well. I encourage fellow brothers and sisters to support this business for helping those who eat hahal. Posted on March 26, 2014 |

★★★★☆ We visited this place during out vacation in Orlando and alhamdulillah the food here was great. The white sauce on the gyro had a great flavor. The wings while not exceptional were quite good. The owner here is a humble, kind and hospitable man. May god bless you. Posted on March 23, 2014 |

★★☆☆☆ Tried the gyro but it was overpriced and overcooked. Didn't like it. Friend tried the chicken sandwich and that wasn't great either. Posted on March 13, 2014 |

★★★★★ It is great restaurant. Posted on March 10, 2014 |

NR Very nice staff, but I had the food I would say its mediocre at the best. This place a fast food joint that has pizzas, wings, gyros and shawarmas. Posted on March 9, 2014 |

★★★★★ This restaurant was the perfect find for our group during our Florida vacation - within walking distance of our hotel and the food + service was great. We ordered 4 chicken shawerma sandwiches, 1 gyro plate, and 1 chicken shawerma plate. All delicious, all reasonably priced. What made the entire experience though, was the incredibly kind owner. He really cares about his customers and goes out of his way to make everyone feel comfortable. He knew we had walked from our hotel and offered us free bottles of water to take with our food. Definitely recommend this place for vacationers in search of halal food. It's the perfect meal after a long day at the various theme parks! Posted on March 6, 2014 |

NR As salaam alaikum. I was coming from Alabama to Miami and it was around 10:30 pm when I call and the owner picked up. He was closing up but waited for me to get there, i got there and ordered food. Now the food was delicious but the customer service was extraordinary. I was driving all night and the brother made fresh hot food for us, and he even waited till we finish eating, even though he was closed. He gave us complementary pizza and drink for the rest of our ride to Miami. The brother was very kind and catered to all of our needs. Customer service was 10/10. Amazing Posted on January 31, 2014 |

★★★★★ As Salaam Alaikum...The restaurant was very good! The owner was extremely friendly and helpful. Was offered complementary hot tea due to the freezing weather. The food was very good, and served quickly. Wanted a hamburger which they were out of, but the chicken sandwich was fantastic. Would definitely return again Posted on January 6, 2014 |

★☆☆☆☆ Food was good but Expensive and very little amount. Also, make sure you count your change if you pay cash and bring your own water. Posted on January 5, 2014 |
ASA G35guy,
Thank you for liking our food, it was a pleasure serving you. Thank you for giving feedback. We have changed our menu so the prices and the portions have improved.
I wish you brought this issue to our attention on spot, in which we could have resolved it.
At Halal Food Express, hospitality is a major key. We would be more than happy to invite you for a free meal.
We would love to see you again soon.
Thank you,
Halal Food Express |

★★★★★ We stopped by this place during our first night in Orlando and it was PACKED. While we were waiting in line, the owner made a loud announcement that anyone who's just placing their order at the moment would likely have to wait at least 30 to 45 minutes before their food came. We appreciated his honesty but were in a hurry so we left.
We ordered take out the day before we left and the food was great. The staff was very friendly (owner's little daughter took our order over the phone), the food was ready by the time we arrived, and the food was delicious. The only complaint I have is that there was no Philly Cheese Steak! Posted on December 30, 2013 |

★★★★★ Assalamu'alaikum, this restaurant is truly halal. No doubt. The food was really good. Kabab, shawarma, falafel....express food. Don't expect biryani etc. The restaurant is clean. The owner Brother Abdullah is very kind and Islamic. Allowed me to pray in his restaurant and also allowed my wife to pray inside his personal room in the kitchen. He also made daawah to a young Muslim couple who happened to be his customers when we were there. The guy was a newly convert Muslim American while the girl was a Muslim Egyptian. Overall, this restaurant offers a truly Islamic ambience and you will enjoy his hospitality. I will definity come over here again if I ever come to Orlando...Insha Allah.

★★★★★ After reading the reviews, stopped by here while visiting Daytona Beach. Although the menu is small, the food was really good. The place is also clean and well maintained. The brother running the place was great, very helpful and courteous. Overall a great experience. Posted on December 10, 2013 |

★★★★★ Salam alaikom. We wanted to check this place out, and it lived up to its reviews. The food was really good and freshly made to order. The owner was very nice and accommodating (i don't like my meat well done, i requested medium and he said he'll do it to the best of his ability). The beef kabab wrap that I had was really tasty. This place also has one of the best chicken tender sandwiches I've had. All in all service is good and the food is great. I highly recommend this place if you're ever visiting Orlando. We will definitely come down to this place whenever we visit orlando in the future. Posted on December 10, 2013 |

★★★★★ I was driving by this halal restaurant this past Monday and decided to try it out. The place is really clean and organized. The owner was very friendly. I ordered the chicken shawarma and beef kabab. The wraps were pretty good and the sauce was the best part. I will definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm in Orlando.

★★★★★ What a blessing to find a Zabihah Halal food! In my opinion it is the best food in town... Those French fries were hot and crispy and I could taste the flavor in the chicken tenders we ordered. Price is fair about $7.99 for burger/fries/drink and it was a quick service as well.... this place has some convenient items like sun lotion, cookies, toothbrush as well and the best of all you could perform your Salat there while eating if you want to... simply ask the manager. I would definitely go back there ... Posted on October 26, 2013 |

★★★★★ I have been to so many countries and also fascinated by different cultures/food. This has been so far the best experience I had.. FOOD was so fresh and very affordable we had chicken fingers ( burger) and chicken sharwama with a side of Fries and Hummus and 2 sodas ( Cost $22)...Huge portion ...I LOVE THIS PLACE ...EXCELLENT FOOD AND IT IS ACCROSS FROM WEST AND WILD SO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS AVAILABLE Posted on October 25, 2013 |

★★★★★ Had lunch at this place. Ordered the gyro with fries. The food was good and the fries hot, fresh and crispy. Reasonably priced too. Posted on October 23, 2013 |
|
|
★★★☆☆ Good wings and excellent hummas! Sharwarma and kebab rolls were average. Small place on i-drive, convenient for park goers.. may give them another shot for the philly steak and crispy chicken sandwiches.. Posted on September 24, 2013 |
|
|
★★★☆☆ food is good (all prepared frozen foods) but quantity is minimal..u feel hungry again .good place for snacks not meals
chicken sandwich had very little chicken and the gyro i saw a friend eat was paper thin machine made frozen slices ( not the fresh sliced gyro meat the other people use) Posted on September 5, 2013 |
|
|
★★★★☆ Sharwarma is good not too pricey, but to charge for white sauce, you must be cheap, restaurant is running well and food is good, so white sauce should be complimentary since its for the platter I'm ordering. Other than that the food is good. It's located conveniently on international drive. Posted on August 30, 2013 |

★★★★★ Owner is very kind and hospitable. Posted on August 24, 2013 |
