If you’re looking for a solid halal spot,this is seriously so good.
We’ve tried a couple of their wraps in the past (which were already amazing ), but their chicken over rice is on another level. The chicken is perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor. The rice is fluffy and complements the spices so well, and the sauces just bring everything together beautifully.
It’s the kind of meal that’s comforting, satisfying, and leaves you wanting to come back again.
Highly recommend if you’re craving delicious halal food, especially the chicken over rice. You won’t be disappointed!

We found a great Halal place close to us so we decided to check it out. The food was really good and they recommended we try a few different sauces with our meal. My favorite sauce was the mild sauce as the hot sauce was EXTRA . I loved the ambience and kids would love it too when they see the cartoon characters painted on the walls.
The employees were so so very nice, respectful and professional. They were very helpful when it came to ordering our meals. This place was also very clean which surprised me because they were very busy with multiple people eating in and ordering to go.

I’ve been seeing this place advertised in a couple different places and I really wanted to try it and finally tonight we did. Let me tell you you will not be disappointed. When you first walk in the place it’s very clean, bright and welcoming. The gentleman taking orders was very nice and knowledgeable and recommends things to try. I ordered the Chicken Chapli platter with a side of falafels and my husband got the Lamb Chapli with a side of mozzarella sticks. The proportions are huge, my chicken was so tasty and tender and flavorful and it went perfectly with the rice and the white sauce on top. The fries were good but it makes me wonder what the pita taste like which I’ll have to get the next time. I wish there was a little bit more salad because I like to mix everything together but the salad was also very good. I heard mixed reviews about their falafels so it kind of made me weary of buying the platter so that’s why I got them on the side and let me tell you they will not disappoint. They were crusty on the outside and nice and soft in the inside and flavorful. I was dipping in the white sauce and the red sauce mixed together just a great combination. My husband said it was one of the best lamb gyro meats he’s ever had. He even ate the whole meal while we were there I had to take half home. The mozzarella sticks were nothing to write home about they were just kind of generic and the marinara that came with it was just kind of like pizza sauce and it was cold which I kind of prefer mine a little warm. But that was my only gripe about the whole place. I love the flavor of the rice. And I don’t know what was in that green sauce I really like that too it was yummy on my salad. I will definitely be back!

We visited Chapli and Plates for a casual lunch and left impressed. The food was well-executed — bold spices, balanced textures, and a clear respect for traditional technique. The shwarma platter was juicy, with just enough heat to linger. Sides were fresh, flavorful, and plated with care.
What elevated the experience was the customer service: attentive without hovering, warm without being rehearsed. Staff made thoughtful recommendations and checked in with genuine hospitality. The space itself was clean, inviting, and well-lit — a comfortable environment that matched the quality of the meal.

Staff is exceptionally friendly and goes out of their way to be kind. The food is cooked fresh to order and is always delicious. We’ve ordered several items over the last year and all experiences have been wonderful, portions are very generous, side sauces are excellent as well. It is also impeccably clean and remarkable that a high volume place is always impeccable.
