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!“

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 😊“

“I give credit where credit is truly deserved! 🤩 I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how delicious the mixed gyro I just had at this location was!
From the moment I walked in, the customer service was impeccable🤩 friendly, welcoming, and on point. And the food? 1,000 out of 10! 🔥👏
The portion size was generous, the flavor was incredible, the sauce was perfect, the vegetables were fresh, and that crunchy gyro bread took it to another level! Every bite was absolutely delicious.
Everybody needs to try this place! 😍 Thank you for making my lunch so delicious today. I’ll definitely be coming back! ❤️“

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

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

“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!“

“Los mejores tacos de Nueva York“

“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.“

“Great food and great people all around.“

“I am Greek and I just tried the beef Pita at Tony’s Grille. To be honest , I doesn’t get much better than this, even in Greece! I don’t think you will find better Greek food in NY especially at those amazing prices!“

“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“

“Fantastic food and nice atmosphere.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Excellent service, Fresh Food, Great Prices! Highly recommended“

“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.“

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

“I happened to walk by and decided to try a cupcake. Oh em geee!!!!! They did not disappoint!!! I had the fruity pebbles cupcake and it was so delicious!!!!! I was upset I only bought one 😤 but I will definitely be going back really soon!!!!!“

“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.“

“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! 🌭😊“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Delicioso y económico....“

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

“THEIR FOOD IS FOR REALLL!!! I always get it when I’m in the area. Something in the black beans and meat brooo. I recommend the tostadas with asada and lengua or al pastor, but honestly you can’t go wrong with anything and I haven’t tried everything.“

“The best in the business.“

“My favorite halal truck, truck period in the city! The portions are huge. I highly suggest getting mango habanero sauce on your platter. The monster platter is huge and a bang for your buck. I always invite my friends to come check it out and they love it.“

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

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

“Súper BUENOS estoy de vacaciones y birrialandia estaba en mi lista 100 % recomendado“

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

“The flavors here keep calling me back whenever I'm nearby. Their menu combines quality and service with sensible pricing. The staff performed exactly as expected at this quality restaurant. They serve just enough for the right cost. Tasty food options, considerate staff, and a nice setting make this restaurant good.“

“Tucked into the buzzing streets of Hell’s Kitchen, Famous Halal Foods delivers exactly what New York street food is known for with its bold flavors, generous portions, and a personal touch that stays with you.

We went for their combo over rice, a hearty mix of tender chicken and flavorful meat served with rice, veggies, fries, and their signature sauces. The portion size was more than satisfying, and every bite packed a punch.

The combo gyro were equally impressive, well-stuffed, perfectly balanced, and ideal for a quick grab-and-go meal without compromising on taste. The flavors leaned toward the spicier side especially since we opted for extra spicy sauce but it only elevated the experience for those who enjoy a bit of heat.

What truly sets this place apart, was Mohammad Salim who the man behind the counter. His passion for cooking shines through in every dish. Warm, friendly, and genuinely hospitable, he went the extra mile by offering us bottled water without us even asking. It’s rare to see someone who treats food not just as a business, but as a craft and a way to connect with people.

If you’re in the area and craving a quick, delicious, and soulful meal, this spot is absolutely worth a visit.“

“Popped in here whilst on a business trip with 2 colleagues. All had different sandwiches on Hero rolls. Quick, great service and sandwiches were great too. Sometimes there's two much of one ingredient, not enough of another but perfect combination. We only came here on our last day, wish it had been our first, would probably have come every day“
