The Halal Hut Stony Brook — Restaurant in Town of Brookhaven

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...

It was our first time trying this place (based on the good rating they hold), it was about 6.30pm, not a single customer inside but chicken was sitting in the food tray. We requested the order taker to fry fresh chicken, upon which he said it will be 15 mins wait which we agreed to. But the guy inside the kitchen named "Ghazi" didnt agree, upon insisting he came out and still did not accomodate fresh chicken drop, he said we will be served only whats ready in the bin. And he was constantly nodding his head while dealing with us which was very humiliating. We still purchased other items and had to get the chicken for my young kids (which was really stale as i suspected). Cant really comment how their food would taste fresh but the service...

The Halal Hut is a great place for quick, tasty, and healthy food.

The portions are massive; forget a chipotle burrito bowl. You’ve got a rectangular prism with the same width, a larger height, and probably 30% more volume.

Big shout out to the staff; Hassan was wonderful when I was getting a catering order, and Ruthney gave very helpful suggestions when I was trying to figure out what to put in my gyro bowl. If you’re not familiar with halal food, they have got you.

Do try this place out! protip if you’re driving: park at the LIRR lot on the loop so that you don’t have to exit campus...
