“The food is absolutely delicious! We ordered the mixed grill platter, and it was more than enough for two people. Everything was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I’ve been here several times and keep coming back because the food and service are consistently excellent. Highly recommend!“

“I dont understand the reviews seriouslyWe made our order via Ubereats and we received all the items, hot and well served. The portions are good and all is good.It said 15 min on ubereats but it was more like 1h15 but We waited and he texted us the time he arrived“

“So I just had iftaar with their tikka paratha roll that I had got last Sunday evening. It just tasted so good even though I ate it cold straight from the fridge. 😊 It didn't taste as good when I had ordered it on site. Then, without me even asking for anything, they remade it and gave it to me to take it home with me even though I had told them I was full. 😊😊 The largest portions I have ever seen anywhere, good food, clean, best interior and decor, excellent service. I have yet to see a BETTER or even equally nice place in NYC. 🤍 Jo baat hay. Food makes/breaks the mood.“

“Best gyro I’ve ever had hands down! The lentil soup is also fantastic. Highly recommended for takeout! (You can eat there but it’s small)“

“Great food, all tasted fresh and didn't disappoint..we ordered the dinner for 2 that included 4 choices of cold starters and calamari that melts in your mouth and the salad was so good and the mix kebab and koftas over rice was good too..will definitely recommend and we shall be back! 😋“

“What a beautiful restaurant the food is so fresh and delicious made with love. Absolutely hidden HEM. I will definitely go there as much as I can when I’m up north but it must try and you will not regret it. Thank you.“

“I’ve eaten here twice when visiting the city and entering via Penn Station. The dumpling soup was insanely good, especially when I was sick! My friends have gotten the signature Lagman twice and it’s always super super good. Pull up to this restaurant NOW“

“Great customer service, food is outstanding and always fresh,mild and spicy sauces. Great prices.“

“5/5
Food, taste, prices, portions. Everything is 5+stars.
We ordered Philly cheese steak, chicken burger w/ fries and chicken & lamb on rice and it all tasted so delicious and cooked to the right temperature and so fresh.
So glad that our vacation in NJ included eating at this yummy food cart.“

“I grew up in NYC so I’m no stranger to halal carts. Since I’ve moved to JC (which I know is only across the river, but the food scene really is different), I have yet to find my go-to halal spot… until now! I paid $10 for a chicken over rice. The chicken was so juicy and they were very generous with the chicken and sauce. So delicious but also so dangerous that I’m so close by“

“The sliders are decent and large with a good varying amount of spice levels suited for anyone to enjoy. The hot mozz on the other hand, which is pretty viral, was a let down. It tastes really heavily like one of the red peppers, cayenne or paprika, and seems to just be known for a cheese pull.“

“Amazing and tasty food!! Great service and great prices! High quality meats and chicken, all halal, with proper certificates!“

“I have been coming to Continental Express for the past I don't even remember how many years but they their food is just simply amazing tasty they're really nice everything about them is the best they are one and only food truck that I go to and is not many but that is the one that I go to when I am downtown Manhattan they are phenomenal all the best to them and they're great food.“

“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“

“First time trying both the Chicken & Beef Doner Boxes.I was pleasantly surprised how GOOD everything was! The flavourful meats with fresh veggies and feta, with or without sauces, all combined with the unique bread is a great new dinning experience unlike anything else. I highly recommend giving this a try ! We will definitely be return customers ! The ladies were quite helpful and informative about the food and it's history as well as super nice !“

“Very nice and clean place to eat from and respectful service“

“Great service I recently went because a friend recommended and was not disappointed I ordered the beef gyro sandwich very good would recommend.“

“I’m visiting NJ (lived here for a long time) and wanted to eat some of my favorite foods. I ordered dinner from port of peri peri and it was perfectly cooked but missing my fries. I let that be known to the restaurant and received a small refund. Next night, I ordered dinner again and I received a large order of fries on the house as well as a discount card for 5% for dine in orders valid for one more week. Amazing customer service. If I were in NJ longer, I would surely order again! The food is absolutely delicious 😋“

“My husband and I went to Forefeathers tonight for dinner, it was excellent. The chicken tenders were delicious, the pink dipping sauce was very good. The chicken sandwich that my husband had to amazing! Coleslaw was delicious, plenty of sauce and pickles. Fries were excellent….definitely will go back.“

“stumbled upon this food truck at 95 Wall Street, and it was such a pleasant surprise! The service was quick and super friendly, which is perfect for the busy Wall Street crowd. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served hot—I could tell they really care about quality. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the generous portions. The menu had a great variety, so whether you’re in the mood for something light or hearty, you’ll find it here. Definitely one of the best lunch spots in the area. I’ll be coming back often!“

“This is hands down the best halal food truck in NYC and I’d fr fight somebody about it. I love these guys, especially Ahmed that guy really knows how to make you feel like a valued customer. First time he called me habibi it fr warmed my heart 🥹 The food is top tier, always tastes great and they don’t skimp out on you.

The wrap was fresh and packed with flavor, and the sauces tied everything together perfectly without overpowering it. You can really tell they care about quality and consistency. Easily one of the best shawarmas I’ve had—definitely coming back for more!“

“Mido’s Halal Foods is honestly one of the best halal spots I’ve tasted in a long time. Nowadays, a lot of places look the same and even taste the same, but this place was genuinely different in the best way possible.

The food was fresh, flavorful, and the portions were generous without being overpriced. You can tell they care about both quality and consistency. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable, which makes the experience even better.

Thank you for the great food and service — I’ll definitely be coming back regularly.“

“Royal Grill Halal on 44th & 6th Ave is a true Midtown gem (I've worked nearby for 30 years). He’s the nicest vendor you’ll meet and the chicken and rice is incredibly flavorful and fresh, with generous portions and speedy, friendly service. Highly recommended for delicious food and a nice experience every time.“

“We were looking for forward on our way back from NYCan stopped by this place.

Although it’s a small location and there is not much seating, the owners are such welcoming and kind people and the food was absolutely amazing.

We ordered gyros, Philly cheesesteaks, and rice platters and everything was great. Definitely recommend this place!“

“Maged is the best! Love stopping here after getting off the train.“

“Finally some good halal in midtown east! I got the chicken over rice with extra white sauce, it was really hearty and delicious. The chickpeas are a nice touch. Very reasonably priced for the area ($9 as of 7/3/24) and they take Apple Pay which is convenient. Definitely adding this to my office lunch rotation!“

“Alhamdulillah! Amazing food and even better service! It's a great place for lunch/take-out. I had been there for more than 50 times. They NEVER frustrated me. I tried (1) Chicken Shawarma with Pita and (2) Falafel. Both of them are super good and highly-recommended.

Brother, Omar, and his staff are very welcoming and caring people. They not only provide high-quality and delicious food but also very loyal to their guests. Thank you so much both Omar (Owner) and Omar (Jr.)!

If you're looking for great Mediterranean Cuisine, this is the spot!“

A tremendous spot in Newark and an easy 5 stars.“

“If you’re looking for **authentic Bangladeshi food** that’s both **delicious and affordable**, *Affan* is the place to go! Located right here in New Jersey, this restaurant delivers an experience that feels like a warm, home-cooked meal — full of rich flavors, comforting spices, and genuine hospitality. We went with our **autistic daughter**, and the experience was truly wonderful. The staff were incredibly kind, patient, and understanding, making sure she felt completely comfortable the entire time. It’s clear that *Affan* is genuinely **autism-friendly**, and we deeply appreciated how calm, welcoming, and sensory-considerate the atmosphere was. Every dish we tried was exceptional — the biryani was fragrant and perfectly spiced, the curries were flavorful without being overwhelming, and the parathas were soft and freshly made. Portions are generous, prices are very reasonable, and the cleanliness of the restaurant is impressive. You can really tell that they care about both their food and their guests. Whether you’re Bangladeshi and missing home-cooked flavors or just love discovering new cuisines, *Affan* will exceed your expectations. It’s rare to find a restaurant that combines **authentic taste, affordability, cleanliness, and inclusivity** so beautifully. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back“

“I had such a great experience with Halal and Out! Not only was the food absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked—but their customer service really stood out. After my order had already been delivered, they went out of their way to bring me extra sauces without hesitation. That kind of thoughtfulness and attention to detail is rare and genuinely appreciated.

It’s clear they care about their customers and take pride in what they do. The portions were generous, the quality was top-tier, and those sauces took everything to the next level. I’ll definitely be ordering from them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for amazing halal food and exceptional service!“

“Best food truck in JC, clean and generous staff .“

“Every time we come to NYC, Kwik Meal is a must. The food is always warm and taste so good. We typically eat here every night. It’s a great price for the amount of food that you receive.“

“OK, so a beef kebab isn't so photogenic, especially outdoors in the afternoon wind, but it did its job of keeping me sated through a long academic presentation at the nearby Italian Academy. Nice food truck selection for these college folks in Morningside.“

“Lot of spots have so so food, this one is not it. Ordered a tikka masala because I walked by and it smelled really good. The owner making the food was really nice and the food was just as good. Strong flavors, fresh ingredients and a fire taste!“
