New York Gyro Halal Food Cart

This is the tastiest Halal food truck in Philly. Out of all the Halal food trucks I've tried, this spot is the best one. The rest is just average.

So tasty, very affordable, crisp fresh lettuce, moist chicken and lamb (not dried out), perfectly cooked rice not soggy & not dry. The combo with lamb, chicken, chickpeas, lettuce, tomato, onion, and rice + soda was $6. It's cash only!A lunch must-have!!!!

I am a foodie at heart, so I want to try this famous food truck that everyone is raving about. That means walking 21 minutes in high heels to get my darn food and walking 21 minutes back. I have to admit, I'm not at all mad about that.I arrived there at 11:21pm on a Friday and was very happy to see no lines. I walked up to the young, charming guy behind the truck and said, "Can I have chicken and rice please?" He smiled and started cooking up delicious magic. When he asked if I'd like chick peas, hot sauce and white sauce, I said yes to everything. In less than 1 minute and minus $5, this magic box and a soda is in my hands.I waddle back to my office and open up the box to what would be my most memorable meal of the day. The chicken mixed with hot sauce was marinated in savory spices and chopped sweet tomatoes, the sauce was tangy, sweet, and marvelously spiced. The chickpeas add a nice smoky and creamy texture to the marinated chicken. The saffron rice was seasoned wonderfully. The white sauce mixed with lettuce cools down the hot sauce heat wonderfully. Each bite of chicken and rice was like an 18+ party in my mouth. Wow!Overall, I highly recommend stopping here for a cheapy little delicious meal. It's really good!

Truck food kinda day and I'm craving for lamb over rice. I saw many good reviews from Yelp about this Halal food truck by 11th & Walnut, so gotta taste it myself. I got a combination platter with chicken & lamb. I asked to add falafel and chickpeas, and also just 1 scoop of rice, and more salad with just a bit of white sauce. The salad seem fresh, chickpeas go well with this dish, lamb is tender, and chicken is full of spice flavor, the falafel is crispy, full of flavor, but I find it a bit too spicy. Overall, the food is very good and only cost $6 with a bottle of water. It's probably one of the best halal truck around center city Philly that I came across.

Ever since I moved from NYC I've missed the Halal carts so much! I needed my fix! The biggest perk of working in Center City is the food and I love this cart! The gentlemen working are always so polite and friendly and you can't beat the price. I get the combo chicken and lamb over rice with a soda for only $5. Definitely get the white and hot sauce over top, unless you don't like spicy. I will be stopping by today after work to get some more!

So glad I looked on Yelp and found this little cart! I was craving a good Halal lunch and this totally hit the spot. I ordered a combo salad with white sauce only and it took less than 30 seconds. Only $5, plus a drink! I will definitely be coming back!

This food cart is really close to Jefferson campus and the hospital so I find myself coming here often whenever I'm craving and want a quick bite to eat! The food first off is delicious. I usually get a rice dish because I'm not a huge fan of gyros in general so I go for their combo rice (chicken and lamb). The rice is just the way I like it, salad has crispy lettuce with tomatoes cucumbers and onions which are all fresh, and the chicken and lamb are flavored well and tender. You can choose to add chick peas and white and red sauce. I get both sauces, red is pretty spicy to some people but I love my spicy food. I tried their fish and rice for the first time today and it's pretty good! Fish is fried and has good texture. It takes longer than other dishes (~2 min) because it's seafood so you decide if it's worth it. I don't typically get falafel but my friends have said they enjoy their falafel as well. Each combination comes with a drink of your choice, they serve bottled water and a variety of soft drinks. Very worth it for the price! The service is also excellent. They are always smiling and greet you politely, very conscious to your requests, and very speedy. The line is usually not long before 11:30 or so but towards noon it can get quite hefty. But their preparation is really quick so I hardly ever find myself waiting very long. Overall a convenient place for a quick bite and I recommend a visit.

4 bucks for chicken over rice, lamb over rice, lamb gryo, chicken gyro, or other halal items the cart has to offer. Decent amount of food- super full!!! For a dollar more you can get a drink too - soda, iced tea. I feel like for philly, it is comparable to the chicken over rice in nyc. Not bad philly...not bad.Recommend this for a quick bite to eat but you won't feel so good after. I don't think this kind of food settles well in general.

Decided to try this truck since it has so many rave reviews, but was underwhelmed. Pretty typical halal truck. I've gotten more meat and salad at the truck on 13th and chestnut. Totally over-sauced (and i like the red and white sauce combo).$5 meal, can't complain much, but this is just a standard halal truck.

Niaz single-handedly feeds 25-50% of the Jefferson student body, let alone the center city area. $7 for a plate or gyro + drink
