I haven't been here in almost a decade as I moved jobs around 7 years ago. I had time off and thought, it's a beautiful day, I miss having lunch at Ballston and sitting outdoors with Mr. Khan's chicken Biryani dish with channa. I hope this cart is still operating. Looking into the questions here, and a review from several months ago, I wasn't sure as it seemed Mr. Khan had some health issues. I texted the number listed on the yelp page, and he responded immediately that he would be operating on Wednesday. I went today, and his food is still delicious and brought back memories. Most people will eat here b/c they are walking around and see a cart outdoors. For a destination like my situation, you'd want to text him the morning of to see if he's operating or not. Support him as he's coming back from a major medical procedure and his food is still delicious!

Been a customer for over 15 years. Nice guy, I love the gyro over rice and chicken sekh kabob with spinach/potatoe.

Food is best tasting halal food in Arlington and I've have tried just about all of them. Only thing is the prices keep going up for this truck and also runs out of food quite often before 1pm even though the truck is advertised until 2pm. Many other trucks have food much later even though the quality isn't as good.

Best spot in Ballston for a reasonably priced, healthy meal! Mohammad is the man; he loves what he does and really takes pride in his food. I come here at-least twice a week and look forward to it every time!

Food was fantastic!!! Saw this place on Yelp and thought we would give it a try. It is a small cart so it was a little difficult to spot while driving, but we found it!! Now we know where it is located! The food was phenomenal and fresh!! My fiancé and I both ordered chicken over rice and asked for it not spicy. The chicken was tender and flavorful, love the white sauce on top! The salad was crisp and the chickpeas... oh my goodness! The man working asked us if we can handle a little bit of spice and we said yes. The chickpeas have a little kick to them, but they were so good!! I'm glad we didn't skip out on them. The man working the cart is so friendly and helpful. That always makes the experience great!! The wait for the food was not long either. Definitely come order food from this cart!! It will not disappoint!!!

Absolutely delicious and for a great price. I try to go at least once a week and almost always get the combo over rice (and when I am feeling indulgent, a samosa with a delicious chutney). In addition to one of the most flavorful chicken dishes I've ever had, it comes with a little bit of a "veggie side". The chick peas and spinach are both great, and I actually prefer the chick peas over Ravi Kabob (which used to be my favorite). The owner/server is also very nice, and has been out there during the pandemic when business has been slower, because less folks are working in nearby offices and eating at food trucks. Try it, and you will not be disappointed!
Really delicious. Gyros for the whole family - non-spicy for the kids, spicy for the grown-ups. Very fresh, well-seasoned, tasty.

Definitely not your traditional halal cart flavors. We ordered two Chicken Over Rice, one with Chickpeas and the other with Squash. The food had Indian flavors instead of halal Mediterranean. It also lacked a multi-dimension flavor profile, which caused it to taste very homemade. The owner was super nice. He emphasized that the food was made daily and that the squash was homegrown!

Great lunch at a good price. The pitas are warm, soft, and piled high with veggies and your choice of Gyro or Chicken. Definitely try it spicy if you like a bit of heat

I've been coming here at least once a week for the past two years and all I can say is this is some of the best food available in Arlington, and that's before you consider the price! My go-to is chicken over rice but the combo is good to. The gentleman who runs it (Mohammad) is a genuinely good guy, and makes everything fresh. If you've never been, you won't be disappointed. I never write reviews for things but I figured after this long he more than deserves it!
