Halal cart is the best you can get: affordable, quality and tasty. I like spices so I prefer his cart because the food and sauces are the most flavorful imo. Also fast service.

I lived in Amherst for college for 4 years and now that I’m done I think about this place in my dreams. It’s the best halal food I’ve ever had. I’ve been trying to find something even close to as good in my town and haven’t come close. Planning a trip back to Amherst purely to get this food again

Chicken is better than gyro; it’s delicious, street Middle Eastern-like, and fairly priced. However, I was unsure how the meat could remain healthy in hot weather without a refrigerator.

I was sleeping on this spot for a while, but I went here back in December and the food was proper. Just legit meat and rice with white and hot sauce just like any great halal cart would, insane prices and a huge amount of tasty food. Genuinely cannot go wrong, give bro your business, it's great.

I actually think Sayyed’s halal cart in Amherst is better than NYC halal carts! For $8 or so you get a portion so large, with so much lamb, chicken, or falafel, that you can eat in two meals.

Street food is one big thing the American food scene is generally missing, and also what many international students crave! So let’s support local food trucks! Food trucks are so awesome!! (I’m so glad he upgraded the truck a couple years ago so he didn’t have to stand outside when it’s too cold or too hot.)

I've been sick 3/5 times I've gone. Don't know why I keep trying this place... the lamb caused it 2/2 times and the chicken 1/3 times.

My friends been hyping this place up for months. My girlfriend and I finally ventured down there 2 weekends ago. The hype is real! So flavorful, highly recommend!

Is everyone aware that this food vendor is keeping the raw meat in he's car and it's not in a cooler or and safe cool facility! Health comes first and I think it's a violation to keep raw meat in a car and then sever it! You can give people Health problems.

Don't just walk - run to give this place a try! The guy working there is really nice and the food was so affordable! Less than $10 for a meal that could last you several days.

One of my favorite eats in the Amherst area. The white and red sauce add a nice spice and flavor to the meats, and the meats are juicy and tender on the inside. I always get the combo over rice, and it comes with good portions of meat.

He primarily takes cash only, and there may be a line but you can also call ahead. Prices are affordable and cheap for the portion size. There is only bench seating nearby for the church, and it may get a bit cold waiting here in the winter, but it’s worth it.
