Halal Papi- NYC Street Food Reviews

Rachel Jiang 2025.12.15

     

TLDR: Lamb gyro is so good and try the churros Really happy to have Halal Papi in Allen. From the moment we walked in to when we walked out, the experience was good. They really take care of you and make sure you have a good experience. Solid New York–style halal with big flavors: all meat selections and the rice are well-seasoned, the lamb gyro was my personal favorite, and everything tastes fresh. Even the fries were on point. They also have a great spicy sauce, so I definitely recommend asking for it if you like heat. It really brings the bowl together. Service was smooth and the wait wasn’t long at all. Overall, I’m impressed and will definitely be back. The churros were a nice finish, and I would recommend getting that too! One of the better NY-style halal spots in the Dallas area.

l had the opportunity to grab a rice bowl from Halal Papi and OH MY GOODNESS. The food from the rice, jerk chicken, to the vegetables was fresh and bursting with an incredible amount of flavor! Additionally, everyone was so kind and patient in helping me build my bowl. I’m so excited that they’ve opened up because I intend to be a regular!

Stopped by to grab dinner and the food did not disappoint. The proteins are flavorful, especially their house Musakhan. I got the combo with seasoned beef paired with their house spicy and white sauce was 🔥. Awesome addition to the Allen dining scene. Definitely recommend trying it out!

This place is simply amazing you will not find a group of nicer people then the ones working here. The place is spotless clean wise. I've been a few times already and today decided to try the quesadilla and these guys absolutely knocked it out of the park it was perfectly cooked.
