This was my favorite halal spot. I would drive all the way from queens to Hicksville just to get food from this truck. They never cease to amaze me in both customer service and serving delicious food. But ever since the truck moved from Hicksville to queens the food fall nothing short than terrible! The white sauce, the food and the service! I’m greatly disappointed and sadden by the outcome of my favorite halal food spot that serves the best halal food in NY (in my opinion). The silver lining is that the restaurant is still available in Hicksville and that’s where I’ll be going from now on. I’m serious, the food in the restaurant is a thousand times better than the one served in the food truck!! Come on guys we gotta fix this!!! I’m a loyal customer. I don’t eat at any other halal fo
Got a combo over rice for $8. Not a lot of food for the money but the food tasted very good. I don't know if it was hunger but I was not expecting the food to taste as good as it did. If you ignore the portion size, this may be some of the best halal food you could get in NY for $8. Some of these reviews talking about "empty platters" though, I could definitely see where they're coming from.
Got the mix over rice, the chicken was very juicy and moist. Didn’t like the lamb as much but I believe if it was cooked on the spot it would’ve been much better instead of being precooked. The rice lacked flavor; a bit more seasoning to the rice or sauce would’ve really taken it to the next level. But nonetheless it’s a great portion. I wished the meat was chopped little more but that’s just preference.
New Update - Hubby and I had separate halal tray with drink , mine was overflowing with food , fresh hot and the portion was very generous, good for sharing or leftovers. Not Recommend, Recently a couple of times I noticed the quality of the food served was not cooked well , whether I ordered a platter of rice or lamb / chicken wrap, the last time I ordered , I got very sick and had to throw the rest of my food out , even as Im writing this review my stomach hurts, it quality use to be much better, why aren't there any sinks to wash hands at least. I will avoid buying from any carts for now on . I think they use old cooking oil, . *Update* Another day with this Amazing food! I added a second photo to show that
This review is done by a South Indian taste buds on 9/25/22 Your experience may differ. I have been enjoying halal food for years, predominantly in Queens and Brooklyn. There are two types of halal in my opinion. One that is more Asian Indian style and one that is middle eastern style. This cart is the latter. The difference is the rice they use and flavor of the food. Indian styles rice is usually more yellowish and flavorful. The meat is more spiced and cooked with more onions and sometimes you can request food to be cooked more spicier in which case they may add more ingredients like green chileas and spices. I visited this cart because it was close to my house and had many good reviews. When I arrived I saw four halal carts. This cart was getting all the business. Yes, I made the ri
