The red sauce is really spicy. Like, really REALLY spicy. But get it anyway.

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...
Michael WitbrockJuly 17, 2016
Tell them not to put the white stuff (some kind of mayonnaise) on your sandwich.
Nicole ChecoJune 27, 2015
Yummy chicken and lamb over rice! 😍 great after-club-food.
Mustafa Ü.May 11, 2013
Awesome food. Very delicious... One of the best halal foods in New York
stephiedooMay 27, 2011
I actually prefer the lamb over the chicken. Get the mix to get both. Tons of white sauce, careful on the red...so good though!
Mauricio CandamilDecember 2, 2016
The food is amazing, abundant and cheap.
KayMay 4, 2016
mix platter is a must .. super yummy
nicole sDecember 23, 2012
Your stomach will be happy once you have tried the lamb over rice.line is worth the wait.
ZacharyAugust 26, 2016
go easy on the red sauce
David LiMarch 20, 2013
Little known secret: you can get free onions and peppers on it, you just have to ask
Lestin WilsonDecember 8, 2014
Is it really halal like I know some shacks say halal but they sell pork. So is it really halal?
Susie BarkerApril 14, 2013
Surprisingly it really is tasty and delicious! The line moves fast.
Alec CohenNovember 23, 2014
Best street meat there is. World renowned.

Before 7:30 pm, they're on the SE corner of 53rd & 6th. Just FYI. The long line on SW isn't the real guys during lunch crowd.

Trick is to mix a little of the hot sauce in with the white sauce, perfect combination!
Gabriela CatherineNovember 13, 2011

Always a line no matter the time. Make sure to get the mixed with rice: delicious and cheap!
BettinaAugust 26, 2012
The one near 52nd and 6th had a shorter queue. The mix plate is the best!
FerasAugust 22, 2014
The hot sauce might kill you! You've been warned! Lol

They are franchising. Look for locations popping up near you! http://nyti.ms/1ltWppH

Gyro wrap or combo plates are all good.
abbyJuly 18, 2011
ever since high school, there have been so many nights that have ended here. lamb and rice w/ pita. extra white sauce.
RafeefSeptember 17, 2016
The red sauce is hot. No really, carful, it's hot. 🔥🔥🔥
Justas ZJuly 14, 2015

The best halal street meat in NYC!

Gyros Wrap!!! add abit of hot sauce (it's extra hot!)
Ricki LeeDecember 31, 2012
Best in the City! Get in line, it's worth the wait!
Mubarak ChaudhryAugust 7, 2015
It's OK food. Nothing to write home about. OK shawarma, tasteless chicken, standard mayo based white sauce, unimaginatively ridiculously harsh hot sauce. Rice is the star! I count it as a demerit!
EthanNovember 30, 2014
The platters are the way to go, avoid the falafel.
James VillaJuly 3, 2014
Best ginger ale in the city. Worth the wait!
M. AlshammaryApril 3, 2018
Go for beef and rice.. amazingly gooood 👌
Sergio GalzeranoJuly 19, 2017
Great combo over rice with white sauce!
Salvador SalazarDecember 26, 2011
You get a lot of food for $6. Well worth the wait. As always, be careful of the hot sauce
Aryan JOctober 9, 2010
It's a rookie move to stay on the line if it's huge. Visit their sister cart a few feet down 6th (and 52nd). It's the same thing!
Michael CarusoJune 25, 2010
The hot sauce is HOT. The whole container they give you will make your mouth burn for a bit afterwards.
SMASeptember 16, 2017
Chicken gyro 🌟👌🏼
Nour RMay 18, 2011
The best food ever, you get addicted to it must try there is a reason why they have a line !!!
Ibrahim AbdullahAugust 13, 2014
Mix chicken and lamb over yellowish rice is the BEST!
David CNovember 8, 2011
Chicken and rice with extra lettuce. Make sure to get enough white sauce and chili. $6

Amazing great price. High quality meat.

The real one is on the SE corner. Don't be fooled by the imposter on the sw corner. You'll notice different shirts and bags. Go to the one with the yellow bags
Simon SteadmanJanuary 21, 2017
Chicken over rice, white sauce
henry bakerOctober 13, 2017
Deserves its fame and line, delicious.
