Go for: Lamb Gyro + extra white sauce (go easy on the HOT SAUCE)
Harumi UJune 1, 2015
I ordered gyro over rice and falafel sandwich at 4:30pm on a rainy day which means line was non existent. I got chicken over rice and gyro sandwich. They have only 3 proteins. You deduce my thoughts..

$7 for huge portion. Mix chicken & lamb gyro over rice. Extra white sauce. Red is spicy--eat at your own risk. Look for yellow shirts that say "original."
Joel A.September 22, 2013
Get the lamb and rice... Beware of the imposter during the day! They should be wearing yellow shirts, have yellow bags and have the logo "we are different" ;)

Love this stuff. Chicken and falafels are soooo good. Make sure to throw on a lot of white sauce

The best Chicken & Rice cart in NYC. Get the combo platter (both chicken and lamb) with lots of white sauce and a dash of hot sauce. So good
Alex RobertsonMay 22, 2017
Cash only (duh?), seven bucks for a rice plate and five bucks for a sandwich. Great rice and pita. These days I can only eat about half before I get sick of it, though.
Melissa CJuly 22, 2015
Chicken and Rice with White sauce. Delicious and so filling for only $7!
Oscar MerinoAugust 11, 2010
Great spot. Food is fresh and very tasty. I've eaten here last three times I was in NY and it was consistently good. Will go back, don't care what the haters below say, just a bunch of salty people

Best Halal I've ever had and I always seem to end up back here! Chicken or beef is incredible! I highly recommend!

Combo platter, all the way. Don't forget to drown your food in the white sauce!! Be careful with the hot sauce.

The OG truck is on the southwest corner of 53rd & 6th. The one on the south east corner is usually less crowded, but the EXACT same crew... & will have on the trademark curry color Halal Guy Polos

The best halal street carts in NYC. The long lines are there for a reason. Get the white sauce. Lots and lots of it
Katerina AnnaJanuary 23, 2015
Great sandwiches and good value for money, makes the wait worth it!
René ShauanJanuary 4, 2014
Saw the long line late one night and knew I had to try it. Tried the Chicken over rice with HOT sauce.... 2 days later. Great food.
Nausheen KhanOctober 2, 2013
Try the lamb gyro with white sauce and it won't disappoint you. And it's only 6 bucks. Also, the long lines are worth the wait!
The Corcoran GroupJuly 24, 2013
Known for the best halal in the city, we love to come here for the chicken and gyro combo with white sauce. The portions are huge, so don't feel obligated to finish the whole thing!
Liliana PJanuary 28, 2016
Fantastic food truck. Spicy sauce is WAY spice. White sauce is delicious. You need to try !
Vivek RadhakrishnanMay 12, 2014
Best cart food that you can find in NYC. Plenty of food and taste is definite worth for money!!
Basmah 🥑🏋🏼‍♀️July 1, 2012
15 min wait was totally worth it! Order the lamb over rice and add lots of white sauce!!! Taste of heaven!
Phillip WilsonFebruary 21, 2015
When you're hungry and its a late night, you will cross mountains, valleys, and in my friend's case state lines to get halal food
Eug KOctober 22, 2017
Not a fan of the chicken, gets a bit dry, but everything else is wonderful. Beware of the hot sauce. If you can’t handle spicy it’ll ruin your meal, day, and next morning. 😉
Sophie OmnomAugust 25, 2016
Perfect for a late night or for a cheap meal! The best Halal cart in the city

Best lamb and rice you'll ever have in the city, hands down. Get the combo to mellow the bathroomial effects of the dish.

Lamb and rice. Ask for an excess of white sauce, you'll be happy you did. If you can handle spicy (and by spicy I mean willing to risk the formation of a stomach ulcer), say yes to the red sauce.
Andrea RodriguezMarch 28, 2015
Excelente Ford. Quite affordable. If u go to ny u cant miss this place. Always ask for extra quite sauce.
Christine D.January 2, 2015
The chicken and lamb are equally good! Go for the combo plate and ask for extra white sauce!
Mark DePalmaNovember 9, 2011

Get the Chicken Platter with a decent amount of white sauce. Go very easy on the red sauce if you don't eat very hot foods and use a lot if you love hot food like I do.
_November 6, 2014
Huge delicious combination plate for only $6!!! How can that be?!? The hot sauce might get you if you eat too much of it.
Benjamin LotanOctober 23, 2011
The line would have u believe it is amazing, but really it's just pretty good. 6 bucks buys u food for two. Or eat it yourself and give your leftovers to someone living on the street.
KristiaMarie Pastor BalatbatJuly 14, 2015
Chicken and Lamb combo. Hot sauce is super hot, so taste it before you add too much. Don't skimp on white sauce!
Thomas Tank KnauberMarch 5, 2019
Awesome food! Had the beef sandwich! Taste great! But be carefull with the hot sause, burns twice😉
Stephanie AdamsMay 18, 2014
Best food truck ever. Get the mixed lamb and chicken over rice. It's amazing and only $6!
Stephanie S.January 22, 2011

Lamb and rice platter! At least two white sauces to go and quarter of one hot sauce (if like spicy). *BEWARE of hot sauce! Extremely hot (and not just saying that. Proceed with caution. =o)
Munirah AlOqlaAugust 12, 2014
Delicious Arabian food 😍 don't forget the white sauce (be careful the hot sauce is really HELL HOT)
CJanuary 20, 2015
Love gyros over rice more. Large portion and cheap but the line is always long except rainy or snowy days.
Alaa ShakerAugust 18, 2014
Gigantic for the price you pay, and DELICIOUS!!! Getting a meal there is as important as any other NYC must-see attraction.

Great food. Don't forget the hot sauce but go easy at first.

Hands down the best food cart in NY. You'll know the place by the long lines.
Arnav SonaraAugust 18, 2014
The best sauces. Tell them you'd like to eat there itself, this way you could add as much sauce you want ;-)
A SJanuary 4, 2016
The chicken is so tender and well done! The spicy sauce IS spicy, so watch out before you take a big bite.

YUM! From LA here but this is a must-visit food cart each time I visit! Get the mixed platter and drench it in that delicious white sauce!
Mike SmithAugust 24, 2014
Pro Tip: there is always a line on the northernwestern side of the 6th ave but across the street are the exact same guys with no line. DO NOT EAT FROM THE CART CLOSER TO 52!!! THEY ARE IMPOSTERS.
Rewan PartiApril 7, 2015
Cheat Tip: Ask your cab driver to buy you the food. They get to skip the line, specially during late nights on weekend.
Bana ANovember 16, 2014
Awesome foooood love this place .. Order the half chicken half beef plate with extra white sauce..
PSeptember 22, 2012
The other guys (with the same tshirts and bags) are the same company. BUT they usually forget to put everything the original stand does, like lettuce, or falafel if you get veggie.
LANMarch 27, 2011
THE BEST halal cart in the city. especially after a night of clubbing and when intoxicated. The line WILL be long, even 3am in morning, but it moves.
Joshua LlodratNovember 8, 2014
Some of the best Halal in NYC. Long line but moves super fast! Def a must eat food cart.
Sonia SDecember 2, 2014
So cheap for so much goodness. You can't go wrong.
Mike ShermanJanuary 31, 2017
You have to deal with the tourists, but it is certainly some of the best halal cart in NYC.
