The hot sauce is HOT. The whole container they give you will make your mouth burn for a bit afterwards.

Try the chicken and rice w/ BBQ sauce (on top of the hot and white sauce) - give it a little bit of sweet and tangy flavor!

The carts on both the west & east side are the same 'famous' halal guys. Just pick the shortest line.

Line is long but moves quick. Was in line less than 5 minutes even with the line halfway down the block

Always get extra white and red sauce(only if u like it spicy!)
Mike CamptonMarch 31, 2013
Drench your chicken and rice in the white sauce but be cautious with the red sauce. Be very very cautious.
Manigandan RajasekarJuly 10, 2012
The hot sauce must come with a statutory warning! Do try it, but you have been warned!

Lamb Gyro platter without the rice or salad is the way to go for me. HOT sauce is really HOT. Don't try to be a hero. Go crazy with the white sauce though. Always buy one more for the next day!

I circle the plate 3x with the hot sauce, then one layer of the white sauce. Perfect!
Abdulrahman AlSalemSeptember 13, 2015

Mix meat with rice and that sauce
Marq RomeroMarch 25, 2010
If the line is too long go to the stand across the street. Same company same taste! It's a pyschological thing why the one cart has a longer line than the other. :P

Regardless of what language you speak, dialect of English you speak, or what accent (broken counts) you have, you must say "that shit is bangin' son!"
