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).
Palestinian people are so friendly and amazing and their cuisine is unbelievable! ❤️??

When I lived in Astoria, this was my falafel joint. Amazing food and the staff is extraordinarily kind.

Probably the friendliest halal truck I’ve ever been to and seriously some of the best food. Came here 2 nights in a row while working in the area. The plates a huge, the people are so nice, and the food is amazing. Go here.

They’re the fastest, best tasting, most consistent, and best service out of all the food trucks and Halal platters in Astoria. Absolute best. I promise anyone that says otherwise are idiots. I only go to the other food trucks when they are closed which is usually after 12.They also always give a complimentary falafel to eat while you wait.

I stopped at this place for a quick bite, but while I was eating I saw couple of cockroaches crawling on the wall. The place seems to be very unclean. Won't be back
Very close to my house and I’ve going here for a few years. Their food always tastes great and fresh, they always greet you with a smile and offer you some falafel. Lovely people and amazing food. ❤️? ?

Tried this place out & I will become a regular. When we ordered they offered us free falafel, customer service is excellent & extremely helpful. I got the chicken shawarma & the portions are generous! Not only are they generous but it’s delicious every bite. Extremely well used spices & tender chicken with tasty rice. Def

Love this cart. Very friendly folks working it. They have me a free falafel while I waited. The lamb is actual lamb, as opposed to lamb + beef combo you get at most other carts. Great sauces.
Must get their chicken shawarma and falafel
Delicious food, kind staff, and quick service!
