Halal Grill Express: Authentic Halal Cuisine in Folsom, CA

Superb food. Great selection. They cook everything fresh. Recommend this highly.

I’ve been here 3 times now and the food is always top notch. Everything is fresh and very delicious. No matter if you are getting chicken or beef kabobs, lamb over rice, eggplant, or even fries. Everything is always very good. Customer service is also amazing. I spoke with the owner tonight as they were out of eggplant and he made sure I was happy with a choice of substitution. He also gave me some of the babaghanoush to try since I love the eggplant dish. Everything is well seasoned and delicious. It’s also a cute place inside. They’ve decorated nicely. I highly recommend you try this gem.

I love this place! The food is absolutely delicious—so flavorful, perfectly spiced, and full of authentic taste. I always order the lamb because it’s just that good, and whether you choose the wrap or the rice plate, you can’t go wrong. The pickles are a standout too. It’s the perfect spot for takeout or delivery. I’m obsessed and highly recommend this place!

Delicious food and dessert. Tried it for the first time and got chicken, falafel, and lamb. All of it was amazing! The man working there was super sweet! Very particular with restruant food but this is authentic and flavorful. Highly reccomend.

The chicken kabob’s were incredible, I will be back whenever I’m in the area. The chicken kabob was well marinated, seasoned, and cooked to perfection. I wish there was more salad because it was refreshing and tasty. The hummus was good and complemented the food. If they had something notably spicy to add to this plate, it would be a 10/10 for me. I appreciated the flavor of the lamb kabob, not gamey and very soft, no knife necessary. The service was great as well. I hope to go back soon! Next time I will get the lamb/chicken combo plate, falafel, and baklava.

Halal Grill Express (حلال Kabob+Shashlik) is hands-down one of the best spots in Folsom for anyone craving authentic, high-quality Mediterranean and West Asian flavors. Located right near City Hall, it’s a bright, modern, and welcoming space that clearly prioritizes quality and hospitality. What Makes it Stand Out: The Signature Kabobs: You can’t go wrong with the Chicken Kabob Plate. The meat is incredibly tender and perfectly charred, served on a bed of fluffy, seasoned rice that hits the spot every time. The Hummus & Sides: The hummus here is buttery smooth and tastes amazingly fresh. Even the salad is a highlight—vibrant, crisp, and clearly prepared with care rather than as an afterthought. Unique Favorites: If you want something a bit different, the Afghani Wrap (stuffed with fries and seasoned meat) and the Loaded Fries with garlic sauce are absolute game-changers. Hospitality: A huge part of the experience is the owner, Masi. He is genuinely one of the nicest people you'll meet, making everyone feel like a regular from their very first visit. Whether you’re dining in to enjoy the clean, neon-lit atmosphere or ordering takeout (which is always packed with impressive care), this place never misses. It’s fresh, it’s flavorful, and it’s a must-visit in the area!

A nice spot if you're in the mood for Mediterranean food in a quiet, relaxed setting. The service was friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe was peaceful. Great for a laid-back meal or casual catch-up. We tried the Beef Quesadilla, Chicken Kabob, and Lamb Wrap. All were tasty and well-prepared, with fresh ingredients and balanced seasoning. The menu is quite limited, but that actually made it easier to decide no overwhelming choices. The only downside was the long wait time for our food, which felt a bit excessive considering the simple menu. On the plus side, pricing is reasonable, making it a solid option for a casual Mediterranean meal. Would recommend if you’re not in a rush and want a calm dining experience with good flavors.

Great food and really friendly service. The meat was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. The portions were generous and everything tasted clean and authentic. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. The place was also very clean and the staff made the whole experience easy and welcoming. If you’re in the Folsom area and want solid halal food, Halal Grill Express is definitely worth stopping by. I’ll definitely be coming back.
