NY Gyro Lunch

I heard a lot of hype about this Gryo food truck but never managed to get there while it was around. Last night, the stars aligned and I enjoyed a Lamb & Falafel platter. Victory!Inflation has not yet hit this food truck. While they did have to raise prices, $8 still gets you a full platter and a drink! My platter was heavy - plenty of rice, a small salad, and a heathy portion of meat with 3 falafel. They pour the sauce to your liking (soft or heavy, you say when). The taste is just brilliant!So, its a bargain. It tastes great. Service is smooth and quick. A concise 5-star review for a little truck that delivers awesome food!

The best food truck on campus for the amount of food:$$$. Get one box for $5 and you'll feel full for almost the rest of your day. People who work here are very courteous and funny as well. P.S. If you track macros or calories this is definitely in the range of 800+ if you get all the sauces, rice, and extra falafel.

Quick and delicious! There's so many food truck options at Temple University so it's hard to pick one while you're walking around! A friend recommended me to try this one and it was great! The guys who work here are pretty funny, but it was hard to understand what they were saying. The food was delish and the price is so cheap! $5 gets you an entree and drink! I ordered the chicken and falafel over rice entree with the white sauce which the guy called "magic sauce" - so good! I didn't add the hot sauce since I like things mild. I will definitely be coming back here! Great little food truck!

There are 3 halal food trucks across from the student center, but this oney favorite and I have been eating for 3 years aready. I love their food and the sauces and the tastes. One time they ate closed, I tried the other truck but their sauce was bad to me, so I stick to this one, and the people are nice

This food cart is the best one yet. The three guys running it are the nicest guys in the world and always have a smile on their faces. The food is great. The hot sauce is hot but not to the point it burns your mouth. The only thing that could make it better is if they serves Philly cheesesteaks too.

Awesome food, great price and very convenient. This is the best $5 I have ever spent on food and you don't feel guilty after eating it like similarly priced meals. A few copy cats have opened up nearby but fall short on quality. Still the top place at Temple. Ive even forgotten money and they just let me come back another day and pay them. Great people great place.

Sound the Halarm! No need to risk NJ Transit & treck to NYC midtown to get top notch Americanized Middle Eastern chicken & rice food cart platters - some of the tastiest are served on Temple's campus a skip n' a jump from the Cecil B subway stop. Yes, the line snaking from the boxy cart to the student center's entrance is worth the (relatively short) wait. The three (skinny) bros in matching shirts huddled in the tiny food mobile whip up some crazy delish chicken and lamb over rice. My life may have hit bottom when I dream of food cart combo platters instead of Genie - but, hey, no need to fret, NY Gyro Lunch's platters are absolutely crave-worthy! And cheap - five bucks gets you a platter, a free soda, and, count 'em, three smiles!The food is "quality" quality - did these guys apprentice in NYC? Heck, Philly may have taken a bite outta the big apple this time. The hacked up chicken thigh meat is fragrant with lemon and coriander, sprinkled with grilled green peppers and onions, pinched with just enough salt to keep you craving extra forkfuls. The lamb is tender, gamey, peppery. The rice is moist, long grain, cumin-scented and tumeric-kissed, with a hint of oil. The plain Jane shredded iceberg & sliced tomato salad is, respectively, crunchy and crisp. The hot sauce is, actually, habanera hawt, the kind of hot that seers your tongue, coats the inside of yer mouth, and lingers in the back of your throat like a nagging smoker's cough. It's the kind of hot that'll make you think twice before asking for "extra", but ask anyway - mixed with the lamb bits, it resembles a Mid East rendition of Texas chili hot dog sauce. Fortunately for those of a milder persuasion, the cooks do not load it on, but, if your buds are of the anesthetized type, the happy purveyors are glad to give you extra. The white sauce is subtle, a hint of cucumber-vinegar tang that cools and complements the pungent spice of the meats. Importantly, the cart doesn't try to cover up funky ingredients or poor prep with litters of white sauce - they "drizzle" fine white lines, "pure as the driven snow", atop the platter. So, you have a finely proportioned meal, where each flavor is instantly recognizable on its own until, mashed together into a mess of yellows and greens and reds and whites, combines to create a singularly phenomenal dish. Gosh, it's Halal-good!

I was about to give this place 4 stars, just because my FAT behind wants double the portion. Omg this is very tasty, far from bland. I had the chicken over rice, with white and red sauce. I became an instant fan and will continue to stop by a couple of days a month. Good place, oh its very quick too.

They are reliable when you want something quick and know you won't have time to eat the rest of the day because a platter keeps you pretty full. All of the meat is seasoned well, the rice is always perfect and the white and hot sauce are so good. The falafel is good most of the time but I've had a couple times when it didn't taste so great but I still get some every time. I come here at least once a week. And the guys who run the truck are really nice too!

I frequently crave this since I've moved out of Philly. Will be back for this delicious box of goodness some day.
