Awful service, plain and simple… As a foodie, I’ve been to enough carts to know what’s good service. This place does not have it. Go to the ones in Jackson heights. They are much better, in terms of food and service.

Blah… I never thought that Halal could be done wrong but this place did it. I should have known since there were no other customers outside. I told the guy I wanted a lamb/chicken combo over rice and he didn’t even acknowledge me… I said it twice and he said«I heard you». Well how am I supposed to know if you don’t even give me a nod?! Aside from the dude’s rudeness, the food was meh… the rice was too bland, the chicken and lamb dry and not seasoned enough, and something was up with the white sauce. I dunno what it was, but it was a bit too tangy for my taste and didn’t go well with the meat and rice. Also, there were some weird vegetables along with the usual lettuce and tomato; I had no idea what they were but I did not eat them. I’d say avoid this one and go up the street half a block to Madina’s halal cart, it’s a lot better.

The food here is really good! $ 4.99 for chicken over rice, $ 1 more if you want to add pita bread on top. The chicken, the white sauce, they were all packed full of flavor. The hot sauce is spicy but not too much. 4 stars = good food, large portion, friendly service

Decent Halal Cart for Flushing. The cart usually says Halal Express Food Cart. There are a number of different guys manning the grill depending on the day of the week. The Moroccan guy is my favorite, we have lengthy conversations but sometimes I don’t understand what he’s saying, but I just nod and smile. You can ask for a dollar extra meet or two dollar extra meat if you need that extra protein. The hot sauce is spicy but not nearly as spicy as 53rd and 6th. I tell the guy I want a lot of hot sauce, enough for my ass to burn the next day. He laughs and is happy to pour on the pain. The yogurt/white sauce as a pickly flavor to it. They also have a green sauce here but its unlike the cilantro/green peppery sauce that Sammy’s offers. The green sauce is more comparable to a pickle relish. I could live without the green sauce. This cart also serves hard boiled eggs, if you ask. Only VIP know about the egg option. Their lamb is pretty good here as well. The rice is light and fresh. The meat isn’t always tender here, maybe because of the low turn-over rate. If you put it in the microwave the next day it tastes even better than the day before. I like this halal cart better than Madina down the block, because their chicken is often over seasoned, and their rice is clumpy which implies that it is old. The verdict: Fresher than Madina and good enough for Flushing.

Halal Food Cart run by an Afghani. Was pleasantly surprised to find this place in the middle of Chinatown in Flushing, NY. Had the chicken wrap, but made the mistake of asking for extra hot sauce, because it was way too spicy! But still was good. Very cheap food and friendly service.
