Halal Gyro Express

Finally stopped by this truck after an Aldi run today and I was not disappointed. Halal food just does not miss. Lamb over rice, white sauce, hot sauce. Free soda! Love, love, love!

Still there - Still just $5 (for lunch WITH a drink - I get a bottle of water) - Still as good as you can expect for street-cart food.I get the lamb over Salad with "white sauce" - and it is plenty of food for lunch.And - it's five bucks!

I was on campus for a week with grand plans of exploring all the different food trucks. On the first day, I got the chicken over rice from here, and that was it for the rest of my search.This ended up being the only food truck I visited over the week, because it was so good that I couldn't convince myself to try anywhere else. All total, I ended up coming here three times in seven days, and I'd gladly go back again.Huge portions, ridiculously cheap, and delicious. The owner is really friendly too. Compared to other halal carts, I found the chicken more tender, and you don't have to pester to get plenty of white and red sauce. Love this place.

Walking down 13th Street, you might notice the flashing LED sign of the Halal Express Cart. The cart owners came from NYC less than 2 months ago bringing their street feed to Center City. Combo plates are the way to go. Lamb, chicken, falafel, shrimp, and fish are available until they close at 6pm or until they run out. I had the lamb and fish over rice for $6. The platter comes with some lettuce and tomato. And if you say yes, a squirt of white sauce and hot sauce. You should say yes. The lamb was in small pieces rather than the strips I prefer, but they had a nice grilled flavor.The fish (tilapia) was what really stood out. The quality of fish from a street cart could be questionable. But the meaty fillet (what she order? fish fillet?) did not taste the slightest bit funky. And I really liked the spicy tomato marinade.Underneath, the brown-yellow rice was not bland, but I talked to the cart guys and they hinted that if there was enough interest, they could serve biryani like the famous carts in NYC. So I suggest ordering that fish while making a biryani plea. Thanks.

Halal Gyro Express is a good Middle Eastern food stall in a sea of good Middle Eastern food stalls. Nothing particularly makes it stand out... but the food here is still tasty and enjoyable. I'd recommend the combo, if you want to enjoy a little bit of everything. Also, note that they only accept cash, so come prepared.

I am not a big "fan" of Halal food trucks and am sure very few people are...But everyone will agree that the Halal trucks fill you up for just $5 and you also get to have a free drink! This particular truck, located on 38th street just off Walnut, is different than other regular Halal food trucks for 2 main reasons: 1. It has a Green sauce (a mint-cilantro sauce) apart from the usual White and Spicy sauces2. It gives complimentary spicy chickpeas

This cart was just outside of my previous office building of 2 years. The 2 guys that run the stall are efficient, friendly, and make an effort to remember returning customers. They would start my order while I was in line before I even got up to the window, were always cheerful and prompt, and generally a great addition to a busy intersection for a quick, affordable, delicious lunch! Of all of the multiple Halal carts in the city this one is tops and worth the now 9 block walk (past at least 10 others) just to go to these guys!

Ahh Chicken and Rice, how you have eluded me in Philly. After popping my chicken and rice cherry on 53rd street in NYC one drunken night I've been getting the occasional cravings for some halal chicken and rice here at home. I finally found one in the city worth writing over. There wasn't much of a line since it was after lunch on a rainy day, but the guys working there were nice and had a clean cart. For 5 bucks I got myself a solid sized plate with a can of Sunkist, THE BEST ORANGE SODA. none of that Orange Crush, Fanta bullshit. The rice itself tasted like the generic kind of halal cart rice served everywhere but where this cart has a noticeable difference is the chicken. Even more juicy and tender than the famed cart in Midtown NYC with tangy creamy white sauce and hot sauce mixed on. This chicken and rice is better than the one in NY. Yeah I said itNotes:Unlike the one in NYC, these guys mixed the hotsauce for me. Wasn't sure if I could do it myself, didn't try, didn't care, hungryThe hotsauce they used wasn't nearly as hot as the one in NYC, slightly disappointedNo 30+ ppl wait = Bonus.

Um...what? Lamb gryos for $3?? I'm there.Officially the best gyros I've ever had!Right next to the Starbucks, you can't miss this cart. And it's Halal. You're so lucky you Philly people!

The only thing that's halal here is the man's wig and dental implants. The rice reminds me of the movie star wars lot of mysterious characters in that shit. The only sentence this man knew is "Hungry my friend , Fresh I swear"After long minutes of ordering I decided to just walk away and cancel for health purposes.
