This food stand was my introduction to Halal food. While I had heard about the food cart on 53rd and 6th Ave, 31st and Broadway happened to be right next to my hotel.
I figured, why not give it a try? It probably won't be as good as the one that has received 102 Yelp reviews, but I just got off the flight, I'm starving, and it's close.
IT WAS FAN-TA-BO-LOUS.
For the rest of my NYC trip, I reminisced how tasty and tender the lamb (I usually hate lamb!) and chicken tasted in the combo platter. How spicy and creamy the white and red sauce was and how nicely the vegetables combined with the healthy serving of rice.
Cost? $5. Truly excellent.
Later in the week, I took two subway stops to try the "famous" 53rd and 6th Ave. Halal cart. While admittedly I took the subway back (~10 minutes) and only ate once the food had gotten cold, I really think the 31st and Broadway cart was BETTER.
And how many Yelp reviews does it have? ZERO. I could only find one Google mention on Chowhound.
It's probably the location, but if you're down this way, definitely check this Halal food stand out. It's easily recognizable by a large enclosed cart with two people inside and a humorous misprinted sign that reads "chicken sushi kebab." -

I was at 31st and 8th, next to the megabus stop at 1:30am. I assume this is the correct food truck, which moved two blocks over the attend to the bus crowd...
Me: So what is your most popular item on the menu?
Vendor: Well, everything is good! What would you like, big or small?
Me: Mmm, something small.
Vendor: How about something like a sandwich?
Me: Okay!
Vendor: Chicken or lamb?
Me: How about lamb
Vendor: Okay, I make something VERY special, JUST FOR YOU.
He made me a lamb gyro, which is not that special considering it's smack dab in the middle of the menu (and available at every Halal food cart in NYC), but he toasted the pita on both the metal plate and the fire grill and gave me generous amounts of lamb, peppers, and seasoning (which he grilled for a good 5 minutes, considering that no one was in line behind me). He also asked me what sauces I would like and how spicy...the most worthy $4 ever spent. It was NOT small. -

My first halal cart experience was after going to blood manor, and it was outside Penn Station. The chicken and rice were moist, greasy and flavorful. I can't find the location of this halal cart anymore; it seems to have dissapeared.
Fast forward to today. I read the review of this halal cart and I was expecting the same experience. Unfortunately, the meat, while tasty was kinda dry. The rice had a lot of flavor, but wasn't the bright yellow that the other halal cart had and it was also almost mushy. -

the chicken gyro over rice. 5 dollars! I'm trying to find a replica here in the bay. I'm getting this stuff overnighted from a friend in NY.
There must be a place here in the bay!
house of falafals on deanza boulevard is no contest.
