Shawarma Bay

Top notch Halal 👌 With it's captivating unique flavors, Shwarma Bay stands out from the rest. This is not your typical Halal cart food. This has its own spices and flavor profile. You can taste the spices in the rice. The hot sauce is more of a creamy hot sauce unlike the red spicy 🔥 hot you tend to get from other halal carts. Chicken and beef well made and sauces on point. Shwarma Bay is in its own category

The line was shorter than Adel’s which is about a block away, so if you’re in the mood for good food but don’t want to wait so long, come here. The chapli kebabs are unique with an afghani taste. What I loved the most was the taste of the sauces combined; it’s really inexplicable, but if I had to describe it, it was savory, spicy, a hint of sweet, and just hits all your tastebuds. About $14-15 for a combo platter, so it’s pretty good. They open ~7:30pm. If you’re not there early, you can expect maybe a 30min wait.

Had their 2 way combo platter, 2 days back to back during my visit to NYC! It was absolutely delicious! A lot of people will talk about the meat (which were great) but for me, the rice was the stand out - perfectly spiced which complimented the meats very well. Service was really friendly and quick as well. Waited no more that 10/15mins during both times. No long queues, but as good, if not better than others.

Their Beef Chapli Kebab is an absolute must-try! Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and bursting with authentic flavor. You can tell it’s their signature dish for a reason. Plus, the staff are super friendly and make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. Definitely coming back!

I stopped at Schwarma Bay on 6th Street and was blown away. We ordered the chicken shawarma and the falafel, and both were exceptional. The portions were generous, everything tasted incredibly fresh, and you can tell they put real care into their food. The workers were also super friendly. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and tender, and the falafel had that ideal crispy-outside, soft-inside texture. Definitely one of the best food trucks around, a must go if you are in the area!!
