Chicken and Rice with White sauce. Delicious and so filling for only $7!
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" ;)

Lamb and rice all day errday with two little containers of hot sauce (ya mouth will be on fire). Perfect pre-Times Square Church service lunch/dinner. :)

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

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 best stuff on earth beside my moms beef curry and beef byrani, this stuff is the best, specially with xtra white and hot sauce, my lips r dripping mmmmm cant wait for some tomorrow mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The chicken and rice empire's platter is a buck or two more expensive now but still a value. Lamb > chicken
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!

Gigantic for the price you pay, and DELICIOUS!!! Getting a meal there is as important as any other NYC must-see attraction.

Be careful everyone. There are impostors who have setup shop on the corner of W53rd & 6th (across from the hotel) who use the same color scheme, same bags, and almost the same logo as The Halal Guys!

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

For a shorter line and even better food, visit their 52nd Street & Sixth Avenue cart during the day--beats the original.
Kylie JayOctober 4, 2014
The best halal street carts in NYC. The long lines are there for a reason. Get the white sauce. Lots and lots of it
Andrea RodriguezMarch 28, 2015
Excelente Ford. Quite affordable. If u go to ny u cant miss this place. Always ask for extra quite sauce.
Abu TaherNovember 7, 2017
Mix combo. A lil white sauce for me (its mayonnaise based), and all the hot sauce. Nothing like tears of pain and joy on the streets of nyc.
Liliana PJanuary 28, 2016
Fantastic food truck. Spicy sauce is WAY spice. White sauce is delicious. You need to try !
HashtagNYUJuly 7, 2016
Get the lamb (or chicken) over rice and enjoy the people watching. The entertainment usually begins around 11PM.
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. 😉
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.
Jo TrentFebruary 1, 2012
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
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.
Thomas Tank KnauberMarch 5, 2019
Awesome food! Had the beef sandwich! Taste great! But be carefull with the hot sause, burns twice😉
Katerina AnnaJanuary 23, 2015
Great sandwiches and good value for money, makes the wait worth it!
Parvathy NairMarch 27, 2016
Chicken and lamb over rice. Out of the world delicious!!! God bless these guys.
Sean MOctober 11, 2010
Worth taking the trip from NJ on late drunken nights. chicken/lamb combo is good.use excessive white sauce w/ a little BBQ. you won't regret it. But you will if you accidentally put hot sauce instead.

Great food. Don't forget the hot sauce but go easy at first.
Terence ChanJuly 18, 2015
There's usually a shorter line on the 7th Ave and W 53rd St side. Chicken was dry and lacked flavor so stick to just lamb. Can't beat the value proposition here for $7. 4/5
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.

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)
Christine D.January 2, 2015
The chicken and lamb are equally good! Go for the combo plate and ask for extra white sauce!
MarkMarch 7, 2013
Get a rice dish if you are hungry. They give you a ton of food. Otherwise, just have a sandwich. Look for the yellow bags, the impostors have white bags.

Combo plate with extra sauce is always a winner. Be careful with the red sauce though...

So good! They never give enough spicy sauce though! Make sure you stop by if you're in New York :)

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

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!
SeoungMay 30, 2010
Get the combo! Lamb is gyro meat and it's amazing! The hot sauce super hot so ask for light on the red sauce if u can't handle hot. They are other carts near hear but this is the best one.
CJanuary 20, 2015
Love gyros over rice more. Large portion and cheap but the line is always long except rainy or snowy days.
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
Kimmie OhhJanuary 19, 2020
Make sure to add hot sauce & extra white sauce on your chicken over rice!
Joshua LlodratNovember 8, 2014
Some of the best Halal in NYC. Long line but moves super fast! Def a must eat food cart.
Sophie OmnomAugust 25, 2016
Perfect for a late night or for a cheap meal! The best Halal cart in the city

Awesome foooood love this place .. Order the half chicken half beef plate with extra white sauce..
Peter GrubbMarch 15, 2015
There is No Other Hallal. If you want good drinking food without the excess peppers and onions for a great price; you find yourself here.
Munirah AlOqlaAugust 12, 2014
Delicious Arabian food 😍 don't forget the white sauce (be careful the hot sauce is really HELL HOT)
MichaelOctober 12, 2015
Go easy with the hot sauce! Not your typical sriracha. If you made the same mistake as I did, wash it down with a refresher at Starbucks on the corner haha.
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 ;-)
Mike ShermanJanuary 31, 2017
You have to deal with the tourists, but it is certainly some of the best halal cart in NYC.
Vivek RadhakrishnanMay 12, 2014
Best cart food that you can find in NYC. Plenty of food and taste is definite worth for money!!
Stephanie AdamsMay 18, 2014
Best food truck ever. Get the mixed lamb and chicken over rice. It's amazing and only $6!
