Everything. Their white sauce is delicious & the red is very very spicy!

Falafel and combo both good. Some opt for addition white sauce. Be prepared for a line!
Elizabeth BursteinNovember 19, 2018
Its all about that white sauce which btw has more calories than an entire jenny craig meal

No matter how long the line is, it's never a long wait! Best halal in the city hands down!
Paul PatrickNovember 16, 2010
every time i go i get about 4 or 5 gyros / platters to last me for the week. line can be rough especially in the winter but its ALWAYS worth it.

If the main cart has a long line, the halal guys cart across the street and on 53rd and 7th are normally quicker

Get the combo over rice. Have cash in hand and be liberal with the white sauce
Mike FriedlichOctober 18, 2016
The food was very good, especially the portion size considering the price, but I wasnt blown away by it given the hype. Also, as I finished it was getting kind of cold.

All the Gypsys love this place, we kinda made it famous , it is the BEST!!!! Love the red & white sauce. B-)

Hands down best food cart in NYC. Long lines are an indication. Get the half chicken/half lamb combo. Excellent.

Felt like I just Jizzed my pants. Lamb n Chicken Combo is amazing. Every tru Ny'er knows about the tru Halal Guy on 53rd n 6th
Kate O'NeillJune 24, 2016
Go slowly with the hot sauce! I'm a total hot sauce freak and this stuff made my eyes sweat.
Erica RoccoMarch 15, 2012
Go here for no line, but the same great food as across the street. I could probably drink the white sauce it's so good!
NesJune 18, 2015
1 portion is ok for 2 people, really tasty. Avoid the hot sauce for your health :)
Tam TranSeptember 8, 2013
Don't go too happy go lucky with the hot sauce! You'll end up crying or getting heart burn (unless you really like it!) >.<
HelenOctober 24, 2014
Always a line. Good but Sammy's halal cart on Jackson/Roosevelt is more authentic and delicious.
AmroNovember 30, 2016
I just can't leave NY without stopping by Halal Guys. ADDICTED!

If you have to take it to go, pour 1 red sauce into 1 white sauce container, shake it up and I promise you, the proportion will always be perfect
Bader 😎January 9, 2015
Another endless queue for a poor dish of street food. can't understand why people say a single good thing about this truck.. will passionately recommend people, who have good taste of food, not to try

Fun fact: Johnny Cash wrote 'Ring of Fire' the morning after going a little overzealous on the hot sauce here.

There are two carts located on opposite corners of 6th Ave. Both serve the same exact food but, if you want authenticity, then go to the one on the SW corner, across from the Hilton hotel.

lamb and rice in a platter with extra hot sauce & white sauce is best late-night snack that's both filling and tasty.
MaulikJune 27, 2010
Absolutely amazing. Esp when you're starving at 4am. Talk your cabbie into ordering ahead and you won't have to wait in line. White sauce rocks but the red sauce is lethal. Damn hot.
Sandra van LintApril 3, 2017
Great food! Fast and friendly! Brought it home to enjoy it there.

every1 knows how long the lines are & how much (or little) hot sauce to use. but the best advice, imo, is this : get a cab, ask the driver to double park & to buy your food.[they] prioritize cabbies. Read more
Ha DiemAugust 16, 2014
Best drunken food ever! Super fast service. White sauce is a must have.
Tiffany PerezAugust 22, 2015
Want a giant delicious after drinking meal for $7? The line is worth it
Ben DaudSeptember 27, 2016
Nice!but get hot sauce too spicy n super HOT
Fiachra MaguireAugust 20, 2014
Falafel sandwich was almost too much to handle. Amazing value and obviously justifiable ques.
FahadJuly 17, 2015
Very delicious food and friendly service. I recommend the falafel.
HashtagNYUNovember 30, 2012
Essential NYU: Get the lamb (or chicken) over rice and enjoy the people watching. The entertainment usually begins around 11PM.
Hamilton Fortuna BautistaJune 4, 2016
First time having gyros and that was the best I've had ever.
Nigel KongJune 2, 2016
Just do it. Hot sauce is hot tho. You've been warned.
Snooty WaiterSeptember 2, 2011
The white sauce isn't what's amazing....you're amazing. Friend Snooty Waiter on Facebook so I can pour more honey in your ear.

Chicken over rice - Hands down, one of the best meals on the planet.
HarrisonSeptember 8, 2017
I should have read more of the tips. The red sauce will set you on fire. My chest hurts. 🔥😵
Fatma AldarwishSeptember 25, 2016
Loved the chicken shawarma .. Food is fresh and yummy!
Subodh BahlDecember 26, 2016
My mouth is burning as I type this - don't get too much of that red sauce, you will regret it.

Ask for a little bit of BBQ sauce on top of usual white and hot sauce, you'll be surprised.
Leelah ParsonsMay 15, 2010
Best food ive had in NY! I dont know about a line tho. there was no line for me. the hot sauce is the BEST!!!!!! i could do without the chicken tho but still GOOD!
Brian SDecember 14, 2014
Mixed chcken and gyro plate. Ask for extra hot and white sauces
Az 🎈May 18, 2019
Rice w Chicken 7/10. Red sauce is very hottt 🔥. Be carful
Yami AlonsoApril 26, 2016
The best chicken and rice in the city. Hit me with that white sauce daawwgggggg
lorenzo raferJanuary 9, 2010
the best way to eat the hot sauce is to get a hot sauce tub, dip your fork in the tub, and eat. you get the hot sauce taste and a little buzz so you don't die form the heat!

Best street food of NYC. Mind the line during peak hours.
TammyOctober 12, 2011
If you can't handle spicy, don't even try the red sauce. The half lamb half chicken over rice with white sauce is def a tourist favorite.
Yousif DOctober 19, 2014
Best 6 dollars I spent in Manhattan

This place has awesome chicken and rice. I never usually get chicken, but it isn't dry and the chicken is plentiful. And, you get to put your own sauces on.
huilineAugust 11, 2013
A must have meal every time in New York. Lamb, lots of white and hot sauce.
