The Halal Hut Stony Brook

I've been here a few times as they do make pretty good food. They have the standard Halal fare such as Gyro, Chicken, Fried Fish, etc over rice or salad which are very tasty dishes. My suggestion is to choose the Spicy Chicken for your protein as it is delicious and has a good kick of spice to it. My only complaint is that the white sauce (a Halal STAPLE) is too thin and watery. I usually have to order it on the side or it just makes the salad soggy and it all sinks to the bottom of the tray. If you like a bit of kick, order the #5 sauce. Yes, it's called number 5 and it is a sweet and spicy chipotle sauce. I am typically uninterested in anything chipotle but this sauce is quite delicious. The fried chicken is also pretty good, I do wish they made a spicy version of it as the standard coating is a bit on the bland side. Overall, I do enjoy the food though I would love to see the white sauce stepped up to compete with other local Halal haunts or, dare I say, compete with the NYC cart white sauce.

People working here are super nice and place is very clean. It is near the university which makes it a nice food option if you study or work there. Now let's get to the food...Pictured below is lamb over rice with white sauce..if you can find the white sauce! Rice were delicious...portion size is smaller than most “other” halal spots … the lamb was like cardboard...so maybe having proper white sauce would have made it taste better. but it didn't since white sauce was more like 1% milk with no flavor. They charge 4% transaction fee for using credit cards..which is annoying.

The Halal Hut is always my go-to spot for lunch in Stony Brook. Their food is fresh and always delicious. Its a great bang for your buck for the area. My food is always ready when I place an order online, and I never have to wait on a line when I buy in-store. Their staff is always friendly and will greet you with a smile, especially Gazi, who is always ready to prepare your order.

This is a solid halal location near Stony Brook University. I love that they're open semi-late (11PM) so I don't have to rely on fast food or going out of my way towards the Mall/Lake Grove area when working late. The staff is helpful and friendly especially Sabiha who helped me my last couple of visits. I love that they have platters over fries and I enjoy their Fruit Punch and Lemonade. Try their Blondie Brownie if you have a sweet tooth, they're fantastic.

So found this great halal place near Stony Brook University, very clean and staff are really friendly. Look for Robin, he served us and was very generous with the amount of food. You can customize your plate with your mix of chicken and gyro and other options are available as well. They have a good menu to choose from. The gyro meat pieces were a bit too big for me and this was the first time I could not finish my halal food and the amount of food they give you is good for two meals, at least for me. Must try their No 5 sauce! Great place will definitely come back.
