This is the perfect food truck to stop at for a quick, inexpensive meal. Grab a platter or a gyro and enjoy their flavorful chicken.. they also offer fish and lamb. For the price, you won't beat their offerings in this area.

Tried it for the first time today, had the chicken kebab hoagie and it was SO DELICIOUS. I thought it would just kind of be like every other chicken over rice gyro spot, but it was way, way more flavorful. The bread was great too. Really flawless sandwich. My only regret is walking by it so many times without trying it. I'll definitely be back.

it's fine but i got chx over rice for my son. Very light on the chx compared to every other place we get it. He's still hungry. Feeling annoyed and ripped off.

I found myself here after having a meeting nearby, and I just liked the look of the truck and figured why not. There were so many options but I choose the kebab hoagie. Took a good 10 minutes and came with a soda at a nice $8 price point. My sandwich had so much flavor! The nice taste of hot a cold ingredients (the hot kebab vs the cold lettice, tomato, etc) was pleasant. The spicy sauce was pretty tasty and not uncomfortably spicy. The only thing I wish i did was eat the whole sandwich in one sitting because it didn't reheat well. and the sauce soaked the bread. Otherwise, a very good quick meal.

When the pandemic led to the demise of my favorite halal truck on campus, I went searching for a replacement. After a few disappointments, I found my way to Penn Halal Gyro. I'm not going to tell you it's a 5 star restaurant, that the produce and proteins are farm to table, that the customer service is Chickfila-tier sycophancy. But it fills its niche perfectly: fresh, fast, affordable, tasty, filling food. I'm still working my way through the menu, but so far my favorite is the $7 falafel over rice with salad. The falafel is crispy crunchy with a tender, fluffy green interior, the rice is perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the hot sauce made me chug my diet coke (which is included in the price!) The food is every bit as good as The Halal Guys at a fraction of the price. Why not skip the big chain restaurant and support a local entrepreneur? You'll even have money left over to tip (which you should absolutely do--they deserve it).

I tried these dishes on Aug 28th 2021I ordered lamb over rice, chicken and falafel.Firstly, the meat chicken and lamb meat were good when compared to other carts, but rice didn’t have any flavor.Secondly, they forgot to add sauce on my lamb over rice, i had to go back again to grab those sauces.Overall, they are good. I would recommend to try
