Long queue and it was worth waiting for the best gyro in NY
Jamil FullerJuly 3, 2013I love spicy food and asking for BIG MISTAKE. You will burn your insides. Seriously ask for only a little.
Brad BAugust 22, 2012The food is amazing. Well worth having to do an extra workout to work off part of the 2045 calories.
Be patient as there are very long lines but they go really fast. Be careful of that hot sauce it's super hot.
Khoa LeDecember 21, 20091 of the best meals in NY is served on the street. Get TWO gyros because you'll regret only getting 1 and don't turn down the "hote sose." For some reason ALL the gyro stands in NY are ONLY found here
YusufMarch 19, 2016If this is the best halal food in NYC, people in NYC is in deep trouble. I don't know how they cook it but after i eat I felt sick and almost sleepy all day. Bad stomach is the bonus effect.
Declan LeowDecember 17, 2015Biz gettin gd n attitude gettin bad. Operator of d cart were rude. Ordered take away n ask for extra sauce but they ignore u n when tryin 2 add more sauce from bottle,they disallow. My last visit ever
Dan KaoMarch 22, 2014Don't feel like waiting in line? Head one avenue over to their 7th and 53rd location. Yes, they have more than one and it's not a ruse!
Highly recommend the gyro street meat. Worth the wait!
Vinny MeliAugust 14, 2013Omg. The best Gyro's in NEW YORK CITY. Vegans and Vegetarians don't know what there missing. Lol.
Mariama RentoyAugust 16, 2014Huge servings! we were soo hungry and thought we could finish an order apiece, but seriously share it.
Daniel BrujisAugust 17, 2013Open late. Best chicken and rice place ever. The spicy sauce is very spicy.
Jonathan ChanJune 22, 2013Don't know why I keep lining up for the original cart, the five other carts from the franchise are exactly the same and have no line. Maybe the wait makes it taste better?
Nino NavasAugust 7, 2010This halal cart us horrible! Tourists seem to love it, but do not eat it! You want real good halal? Go downtown to Leroy street and Hudson. Best halal food in town. Clean and fresh unlike 53rd garbage
b nNovember 5, 2009The white sauce is tahini - don't be scared. The hot sauce is TNT HOT - so if you like hot - don't go overboard. This is a gem in the city - you can't miss the lineups.
Ann DimartiniApril 20, 2012Love this famous cart. Ignore the line it goes quick. Hot sauce is hot....get it on the side.
Jhon CarmonaJuly 8, 2011Try to come after 7:30 and order the Chicken Beef Salad with plenty of white sauce and you will like it this is good food try it
Late night drunk eats trump all in New York. This place is open till 5. Lamb platter with BBQ and lots of white sauce will set you for the evening....- If you aren't covering everything in sight with white sauce, then you aren't eating this like a New Yorker
They are simply the best, have been eating here since before the uniforms! Extra white sauce yummmmy- Declan LeowDecember 17, 2015Biz getting gd n attitude gettin bad. operator of the halal guys are getting so arrogant. Was buying the chicken over rice for take away and ask for extra sauce, they ignored me.
Ashley AlvarezFebruary 24, 2013Best value. $7 for combo over rice with a drink. Red sauce is VERY hot. Great meal.
In Midtown West, the epicenter of overpriced food in Manhattan, this is probably one of the cheapest, most satisfying meals you can get (except for maybe a $5 footlong @ Subway). Red sauce = VERY HOT.
Tracy KnowsSeptember 20, 2013Pretty awesome.. I leave my house in long island to go into the city for this ish!
- Be careful of fake trucks.. They move a lot. Make sure you're buying from "halal guys" they have a yellow umbrella and yellow bag
Michelle L.May 28, 2013Love their food. I hope you arrived at their ORIGINAL location. If so, congratulations!
Rich WentzekApril 5, 2015The food will lay on you like a bad suit. Tastes good for the first bite but after that, you better have the pepcid ac ready
Farah FirdausOctober 17, 2013Was here at 3pm, it was a different food truck! Used to see them here both in d day and night!
Bala AmirthaganesanSeptember 19, 2015I wish I had these guys everywhere I go. The gyro is just priceless!! Go international already!!! We need you in Mexico
The same guys who camp out at 53rd & 6th and 52nd & 6th have this much-quieter halal cart a block away.

"Impressive collection, beautiful sculpture garden. All that you can hope for in a museum. The 5th floor cafe is pricey, but the food is very good and the view on the balcony is worth the price."
