“A rare 5 stars from me. Make sure you find him, he's in a row of random food stalls and is a bit nondescript compared to them.

Price is now $10 for falafel sandwich but still the best value meal in all Manhattan. Very generous with the fillings, cutlery and napkins etc and he also gave two pieces of fried dough with it which was a nice surprise.

Drinks priced very reasonably at $2 each only.

This stall practices all-in pricing so the price advertised is what you get. Hats off to it“

“Just the best Mexican food In NYC“

“Wonderful service. Courteous and professional above all and friendly to boot. The Food is delicious and with the added lunch menu of tacos is an extra delicious treat. During this Pandemic it's comforting to know we can depend on them fora quick & tasty breakfast . Supporting them during these trying times is extremely important as well. Im grateful and appreciative for them to continue working hard and providing this service to us. It doesn't go unnoticed. Thank You Family Coffee Truck🙏🏾🥰“

“Food was Fresh and Perfectly Seasoned! Lady was Friendly. Will def go back! Only downfall, needs a proper sign so you can find the right cart, but right across from planet fitness by myrtle wycoff train station. Other than that, Love it 😊“

“Best food! My husband and I tried this place once, and from that day on, it became one of our favorite spots. We keep coming back because the food is always fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. The staff are also very kind and welcoming.
If it's your first visit, I highly recommend trying the combo over salad with white sauce and a little red sauce. In shaa Allah, you'll love it!“

“By Far The Best authentic Jamaican Food ever .. since i discovered this food truck i no longer eat at any local Jamaican restaurants due to the freshness and quality of the food !!! 10/10 all the time hands down no matter the dish … Thanks for such the great hospitality and food all the time !!! Rooting for your restaurant because i know it will be outstanding & Food will remain the same with The love you put into it… AS you Would say Peace and Love 💕🫶🏾“

“It's going to sound like I know this guy but I don't. I go to Halal guys, but the smell from this truck just got the best of me. All 3 sauces, the rice, the veggies... STELLAR! The line wasn't unreasonable, there were about 5 people ahead and I still got my food within 15 mins. Honestly, this is one of those plates of food you take a cab for.

You guys made a forever customer out of me!“

“Some of the best birria tacos I’ve had in Manhattan. The staff is friendly, patient, and very fast. What a wonderful place!“

“I’ve been coming here for a long time, and this used to be one of our favorite halal carts. We would regularly drive in from Long Island with groups of friends and family, especially for the falafel, which was always outstanding.

Unfortunately, since Hamza left, I’ve noticed a significant decline in both the service and the overall quality of the food. The owner has always been friendly and seems like a genuinely good person, so I’m not sure exactly what’s changed behind the scenes, but it just doesn’t feel the same anymore.

Today we came as a family, and there were three new employees working. It was pretty clear they weren’t happy to be there, and the atmosphere felt unwelcoming. We did have a larger order, but in the past that was never an issue—we were always greeted warmly and appreciated as customers.

I’m leaving this review because I genuinely want to see this place succeed. The food and service used to be exceptional, and I hope they can get back to the standard that made so many of us loyal customers.“

“Fantastic food and nice atmosphere.“

“We first heard about Tony’s on Jon Barr’s YouTube channel (prepping for our first NYC visit). Can only say that this is the perfect spot to get food, and then go eat it in Central Park.

Both times we visited the food was great, staff was very friendly & we received our orders within a couple of minutes.

The memorable comment from my girlfriend - “I want to move to NYC because of Tony’s”“

“Affordable and delicious! Love this spot! But it’d be nice if they had more information online about their daily location. Went here today (Thursday 9/3/26) and they weren’t at their usual Hanover spot. Walked around a few blocks but couldn’t find them“

“Unbelievable fuchka — haven’t had fuchka this good in a long time. Definitely rivals the best fuchka in Bangladesh.“

“I visited Yummy Tummy bakery for the first time today, with five other friends of mine to support a Black-owned business during Black History Month. The owner Melissa and Kaylan made the entire experience a delight. The two of them made sure we got all of our treats in a timely manner and treated us with such care. The sweets themselves were absolutely delicious. The fruity pebble cupcake particularly was the perfect amount of sweet, moist, and airy. If you’re in the neighborhood, I’d definitely recommend you stop by!“

“If you’re looking for delicious halal food in NYC, this place is a must-visit.

Just a 7-minute walk from Times Square, it’s the perfect spot to grab some incredibly flavorful kebabs. Right across from the food cart, there’s a proper seating area where you can sit back, enjoy your meal, and soak in the hustle and bustle of New York City.

Highly recommended!“

“Best flat white I've had in NYC!

The story: I've traversed many bougie coffee spots across the city (for the record, many cannot make a proper flat white), over 40 different individual roaster/cafes at this point, and these guys shocked me.

I often bring my own china mug as it's more fun (and a higher chance of a proper flat white, volume-wise) and walked away surprised at Danny's knowledge... which then also came through the cup too.

Days later I'm sat in their manhattan store trying their espresso by Sean, it's just as good. And found out Danny serving in the 'lowest' position in the coffee cart (full respect) on a remote corner of LIC is in fact Deploy's humble owner.

Guys, thoroughly impressed. Thank you for finally giving NYC a flat white. Have had some incredible other cups in all the secret and well known spots. Yours wins, and not by a small margin.

I'd add a photo but I snuck the coffee into the library (also a win for visitors).

Praying you can collab inside Somedays or open some more cafes so you can serve later into the evening!“

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

“One of my favorite halal spots in queens. Food and service is impeccable. Even though I got a salad platter they still threw in some rice so you won’t go hungry. Chicken and lamb are amazing. Perfect amount of char and still tender. They also usually give out a free sample of falafel which is cooked and seasoned perfectly. They also cook it in an oval shape so it’s a bit more crispy as opposed to the circle ones. Must try and always get extra white sauce and hot sauce. Food is hot, fresh and comes out quickly“

“Have my regular halal spots but decided to give this place a try on a whim last night. Ordered mix combo over rice with white sauce and green sauce. Pretty tasty, good portion, good prices. Shoutout to the chef, they’re cooking with care.

Zaki is also very friendly and I watched him even come around the counter to open the door for one his customers leaving with a scooter. Good owner mindset and customer service, puts him and his shop a cut above a lot of other spots. Place is also clean with seating to eat. Recommended.“

“Los mejores tacos de Nueva York“

“it was easy. in and out in about 15-20 min. ordered and the food came piping hot and fresh in 15 min. i highly recommend the HOT peppers. its quite dense so youll definitely need a drink. also the cheesesteak is HUGE. one order is for 2 people.“

“Highest quality halal food cart in the city! The owner always treats me right. The chicken over rice is amazing and the spicy/brown rice is the BEST in NYC.“

“Los mejores tacos que he comido en mi vida!“

“My first time having fuska at fuskahouse Yummm! Can’t explain how taste it was It reminded me my childhood fuskawala Great food & will recommend all my F& F.“

“Great food and great people all around.“

“We had the Al pastor tacos, carnitas tacos, and tonga empanada. All of it was excellent!! Such good authentic Mexican food. I have been searching for this style of empanada since I first had them homemade by my Argentinian friends mom. So so good. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely blown away. I’ve had great tacos in all the regular spots in North America you’d expect to eat great tacos and these made me feel like I won the Wolrd Cup in Azteca Stadium and married the love of my life on the same day. I had no background on this spot. Never doubted that it would be tasty. But that first bite touched me in a way I’ve never been touched. Wow. Just go. Last meal worthy.“

“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.“

“Incredible service along with great food. Always our go to when getting a burrito in kuna! The asada burritos is my favorite! be sure to bring cash. 10/10 food and service thanks guys!“

“I came all the way from Long Island to Rego Park, and while passing through I spotted this hot dog truck and decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did! The hot dogs were AMAZING. I ordered the chili cheese dog with onions and mustard, along with a sauerkraut dog with mustard, and both were absolutely delicious. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed! 🌭😊“

“Pretty standard of the mill taco truck place. Delicious meats and all. Would recommend“

“it was amazing!! The proportions of the chicken and rice were in large amounts. The chicken was cooked well and the rice was soft. The salad on the side was very fresh. Overall I recommend this place for kids and adults. The spice levels canbe altered by asking for little hot sauce and more white sauce. The price is affordable and it is ready in less than 10 minutes.“

“Very nice people. Started their business run giving out free coffee and breakfast cakes. I highly recommend.“

“Halal Bites Parkchester is definitely a spot I would recommend if you’re looking for flavorful halal food and generous portions. Everything I tried was fresh, hot, and well-seasoned, and the food had a lot of flavor without being overwhelming.

The portions are filling, and there’s a good variety of options to choose from whether you’re in the mood for chicken, burgers, rice, or other halal favorites. The food is prepared well, and the overall quality is great for the price.

The staff were also friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. It’s a great place to stop by for a quick meal or grab food with family and friends.

Overall, I had a really good experience at Halal Bites Parkchester and would definitely come back again. Great food, good portions, and a nice overall experience!“

“This food truck always has a line - for good reasons. Have tried their burger and kale salad - both were fantastic. Can't wait to try more items on their menu. Price is reasonable and service is always friendly. Go - you won't regret it.“

“Delicioso y económico....“

“Amazing customer service and the food is phenomenal! Authentic Greek cuisine at its finest!! Definitely recommend!“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but this place absolutely deserves one. The lamb over rice was unbelievable. The lamb had this incredible taste on it that packed so much flavor, and it was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and seasoned so well that every bite was better than the last. The rice was fluffy, the sauces tied everything together perfectly, and the portions were generous. If you’re anywhere nearby, you’re seriously missing out if you don’t try this spot. This is the kind of meal people would travel for. Easily one of the best lamb over rice platters I’ve ever had. And it’s Halal 👍🏽“

“My husband and I recently moved to Colorado Springs, and every time we visit New York, one of the places we look forward to most is Numidia. We always make it a point to stop by for their chicken over rice because it's consistently delicious. The food is flavorful, the portions are generous, and the service is always friendly and welcoming. It's become one of our favorite spots to visit whenever we're back in New York.“

“Delicious food! Prices were reasonable and the food was great. Service was good and atmosphere was not important since it’s just a food truck. I will also say that the location is very convenient being right next to the subway entrance and Columbia campus.“

“We love ordering from this food cart by far the chorizo and vegetarian tacos are my favorite. Recommending this place for sure.“

“I love this food, it’s so delicious and the service is wonderful.. I can eat here everyday.“

“Always fresh and delicious food options including Vegetarian choices. Chef Omer combines Turkish food specialties with Classical American street food. They have Gozleme (Turkish Pancake) with Cheese, Potato or Spinach, amazing grilled fresh fish, chicken gyro, falafel, tacos… Even Turkish Tea. Thank you for bringing this wonderful menu to us.

Vegetarian options: Gozleme, Falafel, Salad“
