Ive lived in nyc for a few years and this so far is the worst halal food ive had. The gyro pita is so small compared to other carts. They barely put any meat in it, and its just lettuce inside. it didnt taste good. This is for the cart between 59th and 60th and 2nd ave. Bad!

Yes, i know this isn't the real Adel's. I've been on a hunt for some decent chicken over rice in the Chinatown / LES area and this spot isn't it. The order was pretty much cold (not even close to warm). Chicken was cold and dry. Not worth the $9

Best lamb over rice! Photo is chicken over rice. Flavor on point and good portion size for $9. Friendly owner too. They take card.

After seeing reviews on vlogs on our 1st night we decided we'd try the famous Adels Halal Cart and it didn't disappoint. I had meat combo over spicy rice and my wife had meat combo over normal rice and for $10 each you really can't go wrong. Big portions that tasted delicious. Would definitely recommend. Queue was long but goes down quick enough and the food is worth queuing for.

Honestly, it’s pretty good. The meat is tender and flavorful. 8$ no line up.

Waited in line. Luckily we were first. So wasn’t a terribly long wait. About 1 hour. That all said, I don’t think worth all the hoopla. Twas ok food. That said, prices were reasonable.

Scam! Not the same as the infamous Adel's on 49th & 6th. Does not taste good at all.

Food is honest and good. Staff very friendly. Went there on Saturday night after show and the queue was crazy - almost two hours! Makes no sense, but should everything be always logical and rational? Just enjoy the atmosphere with the people around you and buzz of the city.
Queued up for 20mins, USD10 for a portion of chicken over rice, bottled drinks available at USD3. Very generous serving of white sauce. To be fair, I am not usually a fan of chicken over rice. Will probably return a few months later as it is a very heavy meal! Still highly recommended for a first timer.

This place is so iconic and a must go if you’re visiting the city. This is your traditional NYC food cart. Don’t expect anything fancy. Food is 100% halal. Everything was seasoned, cooked well and packed with plenty of flavor. My friends and I got the chicken/ lamb combo over rice platters. You can customize to have the regular rice or the spicy one. Each platter was under $10 with tax. They do accept credit cards now. Even on a cold weeknight the line was 50 people deep. Expect a minimum 45 minute wait if you go. This place is nostalgic and we loved every bite. They even offer a tangy bbq sauce as well. The bread is on the bottom and it soaks up all of the flavor. There were plenty of benches to sit down and enjoy your meal.

Charged $25 for a $8 meal. Glad I checked before I dipped. Check your statement if you pay card.

I've heard so many good things about Adel's. It's line is longer than any halal cart in recent memory, even longer than Halal Guys. And to be honest, it's not worth it. The food is actually not that great. Not a fan of the marinated chicken. The lamb is decent. The rice (and spicy rice) is interesting. Extra white sauce costs extra. If you don't have cash, however, you're able to pay by credit card for a fee.

This place came highly recommended on various social media platforms and on our first evening in NY decided to try it out. At first we were slightly deterred by the long queue (around half an hour), but when trying the food could understand why the line was so long! The food was delicious, at a reasonable price, and the staff were really friendly. We were so impressed that we returned here on our last evening and would certainly do so if we visited NY again. A definite must eat in New York!
