Halal Paradise

This is the worse food I ever tray my 2^nd time eat there the man is very cheap he give me to much rice and very Little bit of meat and charge me to much don’t eat there fucking cheap and so disgusting I well never go eat there again

This little food truck is amazing for falafel, rice platters, and even french fries. The price is right and the ingredients are fresh. Plus they are open super late and right around the corner from many bars– great munchies!

Pretty much equal with the best Halal carts in the city. I wish the portion was a little bigger to match the size of Halal Guys on 53^rd, but the quality of the food is much better them (am I the only one that wants a larger portion??). Never had to wait more than a few minutes. I always get the combo for $ 6, so can’t beat the price.

I want to give this cart a higher review. I love getting the veggies and all the other add toppings added to my lamb/​chicken over rice. I know I have eaten here at least a half a dozen times, but unfortunately I remember feeling sick every time (but it’s tasty!)

Just as the other reviews stated, the food was exquisite. Tasty. Delicious. Ordered the lamb over rice. The veggies and white and red sauces were the perfect compliments to this authentic meal. And, don’t forget the pita bread. Two thumbs up!

Very constant halal truck food ! The guy is very nice and he really puts tender love and care into each box of food ! Very flavor full and caters to all eaters, veggan and meat ! You get a great size potion that really fulls you up ! Be prepared to wait about 5 mintues because he cooks the food as you order

for $ 6 you get a huge portion of food. You can smell the food cooking once you get out of the subway. The meat is cooked well. The hot sauce is tasty. Guys inside the truck are friendly. The halal guys on 53^rd & 6^th in the city are overrated. They have huge lines and uncooked food. I come here at least once a month and this place never disappoints

I got the chicken and lamb combo and it was great. Personally I like it as much as the famous Halal on 52^nd street– but without the huge lines. My 2 year old ate it too.

Really solid street meat! I usually go for the falafel, but need to go back and try the meats. Get all the vegetables on your plate — pickles, fresh veg, olives, etc. — A huge assortment! And very flavorful rice.
The guy in the truck is sooo sweet! I love him. Tip extra!

I love halal. Probably the one thing I was more excited for about coming back to NY! This truck is near my friends place so we came here twice during our trip. SOOO good. So so good. Be careful on the red sauce though, it’s hella spicy! Not as spicy as halal guys red sauce, but its still spicy! Haha. After trying both this and halal guys, I think I’d have to say I like this one better. Until next time NY, I will be dreaming about halal plates until then!!!

Coming home on the D train during rush hour I was being smushed like a sardine and feeling a little claustrophobic, I decided to get off at Atlantic station and get a little air before going back to catch my connecting train. I was hungry and just planning on heading to my neighborhood chinese takeout joint in Bay Ridge. As I stood outside on Pacific getting some air and returning all the texts that came in now that I had service, I noticed a little halal cart called Halal Paradise. While I was standing there I saw many people coming to the cart and ordering food. A lot of them were regulars and the guy serving up the food was so sweet and friendly as he knew just what they liked. I decided to go on Unilocal and check out the reviews of this cart and they were all pretty good. So I thought what the heck let me try this place out. I could grab some food, jump back on the train and be in Bay Ridge in a flash and could go straight home and eat. I ordered the lamb over rice and while I was waiting I noticed they were cooking chicken and it looked and smelled delicious. The kind man (wish I got his name) asked if I would like to try some with my order (no charge!) and I said sure! As he dished up my food he asked me about my day and was just so friendly. I grabbed a diet coke, my lamb (and chicken) over rice ran down into the subway, my train was there and I was home in a few minutes excited to try this delicious smelling food. Would it taste as good as it smelled? YESSSSS!!! It was so yummy! The meat wasn’t dried out, it was perfectly seasoned, the rice, aromatic and fluffy, not clumpy or dry. The white sauce and red sauce (spicy) were perfect!!! A very generous portion with a diet coke only set me back $ 5.00! I will definitely be back to Halal Paradise, maybe even tomorrow night!

When I lived over here I passed this place a bunch but never really thought too much about it one way or the other.
Then I was drunk and waiting for a train and starving so I got some lamb over rice. Cheap, big portions, pretty delicious, tender lamb, good sauces, cans of soda are only $ 1.
A++++ would stumble onto again.

While I’m not a regular, I do like the food. Fast, not greasy and always flavorful.

Was addicted to the chicken an rice here! It was my #1 drunk food!

Great falafel. Great prices. Not quite great gyro but still a great deal. Open super late/​every time i’ve ever walked by.

Drunken street meat is a staple of living in New York. It’s been a favorite pasttimes of mine for years after many a night of potable-​induced debauchery in Manhattan. So when I moved a few blocks away from the Atlantic Terminal a few months ago, I was psyched to see this truck parked outside the Pacific Street Subway exit (on 4^th Avenue between Pacific St and Atlantic Ave, just right of the Church of the Redeemer).
However, upon eating the food, it was disappointment after disappointment. First of all, this truck’s hours seemingly run based on Murphy’s Law. If you’re starving at 3am on a Friday or Saturday night, he may or may not be here. Don’t be fooled: the truck will physically be there, but the windows may be closed and the engine off. If you take a closer look, there are wooden boards underneath two of the wheels to balance the truck, and so far I have never seen it budge from this spot. Strangely enough, the door has a physical address on Union Street, but I don’t believe anything’s there.
Anyway, onto the food — the falafel is not very good. Dry and flavorless. The lamb over rice isn’t anything great, and the white sauce is very generic tasting. However, I must say that I couldn’t finish my lamb over rice one night and had it the next day sober (gasp!) and loved it. What is it about microwaved street meat that makes it taste so good?! That’s the only reason I’m giving it 3 stars instead of 2.
Sure, it’s convenient. And sure, your taste buds may be numbed from a night of high proof alcohol. But don’t come here with high expectations and you won’t be disappointed.

For a drunken night out or a person like myself who works odd hours of the night Halal Paradise is good in a bind. The falafel platter was filling and the falafel’s themselves were better than most restaurants in the area.
I do kinda question the freshness of the salad and rice, but hey it’s a food cart at 3 am. Beggars can’t be chosers.

After a night of drinking on smith street this is a must have!!!
I was introduced to this cart and their lamb over rice platter and I will forever be grateful! The lamb is tender and delicious but the bits that have a nice crust from the flattop are my faves. Flavorful white sauce too!
One serving is enough for two people as there has got to be at least 2 cups of rice and about 1000 calories. I don’t care. It’s just that good.

I remember having a really good falafel sandwich from this truck. I wasn’t even that hungry but I peeped the price and could not resist. The falafel was fresh and tasty, the pita was appropriate, and there was an overabundance of sauce that really defined the experience. Usually people criticize sandwiches for being soggy, but this one was fresh, dripping, and delicious.
If you’re in the area and it’s late night, I doubt you’ll have a better eating experience elsewhere. These guys know what they’re doing.

Tuesdays are considered date night for my husband and me. We are by no means well off, so date night usually involves eating in and watching TV or a rented movie.
Tonight, after looking for winter boots at the Atlantic Terminal Mall, we were getting really hungry. We ventured outside and started walking towards all of the restaurants on Atlantic. Instead of stopping into a sit down place, this huge truck caught my eye.
For a mere $ 12, my husband and I enjoyed the lamb on rice platter and the combo plate off of this truck that isn’t actually located at 450 Union St even though that’s the address printed on the side of the truck. It’s actually a huge, green truck parked in front of Attar Monir on 4^th Ave near Atlantic Ave. You can get to this place just by coming out of the Atlantic Terminal.
OH MY GOODNESS! The meat was perfectly spiced, grilled, and juicy. The yellow rice was fragrant and fresh, not dried out like some other carts. The cucumber, tomato, onion, green peppers, and lettuce for the salad were crisp and fresh. The yogurt dill sauce aka white sauce and the hot sauce were so flavorful and complimented the meat, rice, and veg so well.
A $ 6 dinner fit for a king. The man making the food was very kind. The amount of food he fit into the foam trays was eye-​popping. See photo. I urge you to stop by.
