“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.“
“I love this truck because it's independent individuals making quality, fresh, craft food. I actually get a hot dog more often than a sausage hero, but both are very good. They allegedly use a Sabrett's (skinless) dog just like everyone else, but their dogs are far plumper than you find from most other places and they use a Martin's potato roll. And they're grilled, which I prefer to the boiled dogs from the other truck up the street. When I get a sausage hero (which I just got myself in the mood for), I get it topped with marinara sauce. There's only one negative to this truck. They shut down at around 3:30pm each day and I don't think they're ever there on Sundays or holidays. In my perfect world, they'd be there practically 24 hours a day, so if I had a craving at 11pm, I could get my dog or sausage hero. Like everybody else, they've raised prices - dogs are $4 and I think the hero sandwiches are now $12, but still well worth it.“
“Neat little place for Indian street snacks. It's definitely an acquired taste and may not be something for everyone's palate. Either way, it's worth a try. I had the guava masala salad. It was quite good. I didn't like the aftertaste of the bitter sauce. I would have made it different.“
“The best birria tacos! Super juicy and loaded and they come with pickled onions on the side. Convenient location right next to parking lot. I usually get the meal (3 tacos and consome) and one or two extra tacos. Very filling. Staff are fast and friendly. Bring cash and don’t forget to tip.“
“Generous portions, consistent great taste, and very affordable at $10-11 for most dishes! I've gotten their chicken drunken noodles and pad see ew and both have been very tasty and perfect for a cheap after-work dinner. The woman at the food truck is always friendly and the noodles are prepared fast, which is a plus.“
“Great guys on the truck and seriously solid reasonably priced food...been going to them for a year ordering 2 or 3 go tos...BUT tonight switched it up a bit and had their Birria "sandwich" basically a Mexican Torta...my oh my that torta was UNREAL good and for $10 a bargain...can't recommend it enoughParking: solid“
“My kids, who are young, don't even like falafel. They each inhaled three (one complimentary at the truck, and two from the kabab platter) and it really is the best falafel I've ever had. I'm sad we didn't get to try the beef kabab but they were basically sold out of almost everything, so we had the chicken and it was AMAZING. I've passed by this truck multiple times when I come into Queens to visit my parents and never tried it and now I don't think I can ever go home without buying some to take with me.“
“Still amazed how quickly the food came out and the fact that the owner was running from his 1st truck to a 2nd truck to serve customers is incredible. Food was simply 11/10, vegetarian friendly, super delicious, fresh and for the price you get quite a lot. One of the best street food spots in NYC.“
“Just dropped by for the first time (embarrassingly) after a coworker recommendation, one of those places I've walked by 100 times and somehow never stopped it. And now it's going to be a regular in the rotation!I got their grilled chicken set (#2) and it was delicious - the chicken itself was amazingly well marinated and flavorful, the rice cooked perfectly to join with it - and man their sweet/mildly-spicy thai sauce they give you to go with it is pure heaven. The soup they give is very mild but pleasant. Their serving system felt slightly chaotic for a newbie, but it worked perfectly well, the woman working had a perfect memory and nailed people in order.Highly recommend!“
“Recently I visited NY with my husband. Went to Jackson heights. Had momo from Amdo Kitchen. Momo was yummy and served with soups. Moreover the owner is very kind, perfect customer care. Feel like going to eat there every time whenever we visit there. Chocho la the owner is very kind. Hats off to you ???“
“Some of the best Al pastor tacos I’ve had in nyc, with a good price. The serving of meat is overly generous, pipping hot & delicious. Sweet pineapple and fresh cilantro balance it out perfectly. Tacos are grilled in oil and super piping hot - almost impossible to pick up right away. Use a fork!“
“We tried the puchka and jhal muri, loved the puchka - crunchy puris and the filling is delicious. I'll definitely be back for more, could have used more of the pani and can do without the egg on top. The best chaat I've eaten in the states for sure !“
“I was on a job nearby and was set on getting halal food. I saw this food truck and decided to give it to a try. This is honestly one of the best food trucks I’ve ever tried in NYC. I will never eat general tsos chicken from another Chinese food place again. He also hooked it up with extra chicken. Excellent customer service“
“The service was super incredible, the waitress was super cute, the blonde lady took great care of me and my dad. The food is delicious and the prices are super affordable.If you want to have a great time with family or friends and eat delicious tacos, this is the place.“
“Delicious tacos whenever I come with my family but the last time I came the gentlemen serving were saying vulgar things to some lady outside. I hope the owner reads this and I talked to his workers to be careful because I bring my wife, sister-in-law and sister and it is not right for them to be listening to “
“The last time I passed by the bright green food truck parked on the corner of 31st and Ditmars, I had just eaten a massive meal at Hamido's but I made a mental note to return because the food smelled so good even from across the street. I recently was able to return, with an empty stomach, to try the King of Falafel & Shawarma. The vendor greeted me with a falafel to try, and I immediately noticed it was oval shaped. It did taste significantly crunchier, which I am attributing the larger surface area to, and the spices were fantastic. I had my heart set on trying their kefta but unfortunately by the time I arrived late Saturday evening, they were out of everything except their chicken and falafel, so I had a platter of that instead ($12). My plate was absolutely packed and smothered with their white sauce (highly recommend the red sauce as well as it packs a subtle punch), and the salad was a very welcome addition to the rice and mound of marinated and shaved chicken shawarma. There is so much flavor packed in every single bite, and the way the chicken was marinated definitely sets it apart from other shawarma carts I've tried thus far. Everyone I spoke to, including the other patrons waiting for their order, had only amazing praises to sing for KoF and I can easily understand why. I'm very happy to discover that they also have a truck on 53rd and Park, as Astoria is a bit of a trek for me.PS- An update: I have now finally managed to sample their chicken and beef shawarma, as well as their kefta too. My favorite still remains the chicken shawarma, which edges out the beef because it remains juicer and better marinated. I found the kefta a little too dry for my preference and it lacked that smoky grilled flavor. If you are going to order one thing, get their chicken or chicken and falafel platter with white sauce, red sauce, and extra tahini. And maybe a side order of falafels (4 for $3 to munch on the way home).“
“The cart itself is new. But before he was in front of Duane reade, he was in front of TD bank for 15 years sharing a cart with someone else. And for 15 years, he's been one of top 3 halal carts I've had throughout all of NYC. Best in Jackson heights easily.Do yourself a favor and get his food if you can handle a bit of heat. Love the chicken and falafel over rice.“
“amazing lamb , probably some of the best in the city! chicken n lamb salad for only $8 a plate and it’s some of the best around… Most places charge $12-15 for chicken w lamb salads and for $8 this is some of the best lamb around! A lot of other places also have very chewy lamb w a lot of fat and this place doesn’t have that! it’s completely different. I come here daily sometimes even twice a day and had lamb all over, he cooks it perfectly!“
“Everything tastes so good here! The worker gives the best service I’ve seen in a food cart. My favorite is the chicken over rice platter, it tastes juicy and not dry like other places. Anything else I’ve eaten is always fresh. 10/10 recommend for sure!!“
“According to my friend who lives here, Greek is the way to go when you're in astoria. So we ordered some gyros and other delicious bites from Frankys and I was not disappointed. I got the beef suvlaki plate and omg the meat was so flavorful and freshly grilled you could still taste the smoke from the fire. The white sauce was great and veggies were fresh. I'd definitely make this spot a regular stop if I lived here“
“I eat here at least twice a week! This man runs a fine cart: the food is always plentiful, FRESH, filling, affordable, and served with a smiles and welcomes. Lamb over rice, chicken over rice, falafel, and even the chicken tenders are all soo sooooo tasty. They don’t serve on Sundays but any other day of the week you’ll see them parked in front of food emporium.“
“First time trying so have nothing to compare it to. The chicken leg stew was very unique- delicious and hearty. I liked the cabbage and the chickpea dish as well but mixed together with the chicken. On their own they were sort of bland. Happy I got to try something new and a cuisine from a different culture.“
“Their food is excellent, well seasoned and prepared with love. They have the best BBQ spareribs - a nice crust on the outside and juicy on the inside. You have to try their new Sausage Boat - wow. Not Just Lemonade Concession is our go to Caterer for all our events.“
“While researching places to visit, I noted a neighborly quality about the @souvlakilady in her interviews online. This observation proved to be more true than I anticipated.As I caught a glimpse of her cart parked alongside the road, my mouth began to water at the prospect of my first taste of streetside souvlaki. Unfortunately, my excitement quickly dwindled when I realized she only accepted cash as payment.While standing in utter defeat, I was sincerely touched when she decided to disregard my lack of cash and provide me a skewer at no cost. Let me tell you...it was sublime! Prior to that moment, I couldn't imagine a simple stick of pork could improve much beyond what I make at home, but I was wrong.So grateful for my first experience with Greek generosity and hospitality - ευχαριστώ, @souvlakilady!“
“Consistently excellent food and great customer service.The birria tacos are the best I’ve had out of about 6 other places I’ve tried in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan and Queens. And the flautas are delicious as well. The menu items are reasonably priced and are always a fair portion size. I appreciate that the staff is always kind, communicative, and patient.I hope that this business expands to other boroughs because they’re truly a gem!“
“Excellent breakfast burrito!I ordered a classic breakfast burrito and a coffee here before going to work on a rushed morning. Food came out fast, and was packed up nicely; even plenty of napkins in the bag.Started eating the breakfast burrito and holy cow that thing is good. All sorts of powerful flavors working together, but none of them drowning any of the others out. Great stuff; I'll be coming back!Coffee is fine but don't set your expectations on the brew too high. No markdowns for this since it's not really what this truck is about.Highly recommended!“
“It was even better than I remembered it to be, last weekend I visited NY and this spot was the only place on my wish list. When I was living in NY, I used to eat from this location atleast once a week. The guy was very friendly and he got my order correct, he gave a generous portion all around. If you are a fan of Halal cart food, this is certainly the place to go.“
“Used to come to this spot a lot. But stopped going because of problematic personnel. Decided to give this another shot and the guy is genuinely nice. Got my usual combo over rice (chicken + lamb). Chicken was good and the guy didn't over sauce my plate. Happy to come again as long as the service is good.Cheers“
“YOU HAVE TO TRY ZAHID’S HALAL FOOD!! The best halal food I have ever had. Juicy chicken and lamb with perfectly seasoned rice.. goes great with the white and hot sauce. The service was great, my food was prepared exactly to my likings. Food and service are incomparable to other halal spots. Don’t just take my word for it, try it yourself ;)“
“Love birria-landia in brooklyn and decided to come to the roosevelt ave location. This one definitely seems larger as they had a whole section for orders and things. Food is always good but i will say it did get pretty expensive. Downside is that parking in this area is difficult.“
