Don't get too overzealous with the red sauce - you WILL regret it!
Best DelegateSeptember 6, 2011
Yes, this is really the best street cart in the city. Definitely get the white sauce.

Very delicious and tasty
Miranda LiOctober 30, 2014
Huge portions and wait is not too bad! Multiple carts in the area.
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!"

Falafel is very great

w/o a doubt, 1/2 chicken 1/2 lamb platter. . no lettuce, extra pita & drowned in white sauce.

The best food truck in NYC

Hot sauce is f-ing nuclear! Stick with just the white sauce, and ask for extra to go...you won't be disappointed!

The Halal Guys added KOFTA KEBAB to their list of meats available. Get a lamb and kofta platter if they have the kofta ready!
Ana VerleyJuly 8, 2016
Everything!
Stuart ElsonDecember 12, 2015
Honestly, not that impressed. Chicken was basically steamed and all the flavor was in the sauce. Much better shwarma in other places, cheaper too, and the falafel was cold.

Don't sweat the long line. It's there 24 hours a day, LITERALLY. It's all part of the experience. Chicken on a plate with white sauce only please.
D' MacKinnonOctober 8, 2010
Be careful with the hot sauce. It's lethal! If you want a beverage there's a cart nearby that sells only drinks.
Abdulaziz MMarch 12, 2016
Every night, gotta pass by and eat 👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼

There are two stands on both sides of 6th ave. The east side is always less crowded. Avoid the line!
Qi Feng HuangOctober 7, 2015
Get the combo over rice!
Betti CumplidoOctober 17, 2013
Best food truck ever! So delicious!!!

Tried it because of all the positive ratings, I mean it was given more than 9 😒. Didn't like it.

When visiting, make sure you're at the cart with the yellow / golden plastic bags which say "we are different." Be ware of daytime imposter cart on the south west corner!
Kat 🐱February 3, 2016
