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

Go slowly with the hot sauce! I'm a total hot sauce freak and this stuff made my eyes sweat.

Cheat Tip: Ask your cab driver to buy you the food. They get to skip the line, specially during late nights on weekend.

There’s usually a long line but it always moves quickly!

Its the best and biggest portion of Street cart anywhere. go combo with white and BBQ unless u like it spice then switch BBQ for hot sauce...

Drench your chicken and rice in the white sauce but be cautious with the red sauce. Be very very cautious.

The 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.
Richard DinhAugust 7, 2014
Line moves fast. Hot sauce is super spicy. Be careful!
YusufMarch 19, 2016
If 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.
Hector PerezAugust 11, 2015
Everything is great. Well worth the line.
Sanskar WagleyMarch 17, 2013
Careful with the red sauce, a dab of it is enough to set your face on fire.

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!
PalaniJanuary 4, 2016
Chicken over rice is great. But be careful on the red sauce. It's too spicy.
Manigandan RajasekarJuly 10, 2012
The hot sauce must come with a statutory warning! Do try it, but you have been warned!

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

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

Fun fact: Johnny Cash wrote 'Ring of Fire' the morning after going a little overzealous on the hot sauce here.
David CNovember 8, 2011
Chicken and rice with extra lettuce. Make sure to get enough white sauce and chili. $6
