What People Are Saying About Hala Cafe & Bakery
The Editor

Citysearch
The Scene – This Jacksonville mainstay has little more than tables (bedecked with Hala's news clippings) for atmosphere, but that's all you need when the food's delicious. The place is packed at high noon, crammed with a large lunch crowd piling their plates with Middle Eastern and Greek delicacies fit for a king. – – The Food – Head for the buffet or place an order from the entr?e menu. Either way, you're bound to be satisfied with kibbeh, little football-shaped morsels of wheat, beef and pine nuts, grape leaves stuffed with ground lamb, and golden falafel…

HALA'S HAS THE BEST FOOD IN JAX
by amya228
Everyone who gave this place a bad review must be crazy! Hala's has got the best food by far in Jacksonville. Everything is FRESH and VERY flavorful. The wait staff treats you like a friend and once you are a regular you are a part of the family. I would recommend eating at Hala Cafe to anyone. Other middle eastern restaurants in Jacksonville do not offer the same quality of food at ALL. Others offer dry and bland food where as Hala's offers everything you would want in a meal. I'm upset that there isn't a 1,000,000 star rating!
- Pros: EVERYTHING. The food, wait staff, location, prices and the grocery store.
- Cons: BIG lunch crowd. Parking during lunch time could be easier. worth it.

Try CASBAH or some other place instead
by halajaxnotgood
Hala cracks me up with all the fake raves because of SO many negative reviews. This place is just no good. avoid at all costs.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Everything - especially the rude staff

Great MIddle Eastern food! Great Service!
by sonnysgirl21
I personally love Hala's food and wait staff. Everythings always really good & the staff (including Joe) is always really nice. BTW, there is no Hala on Baymeadows, there hasnt been for many years... shows how much the person who left the bad review before me knows... not very credible, huh... I would definitely recommend Hala Cafe!
- Pros: Great food, affordable price
- Cons: fighting the lunch crowd
