Food: Sammy's is one of my top favorite halal carts in NYC. The rice is the perfect texture and…read moreflavorful. The meats are plentiful and tasty. They also don't skimp on the sauces. Sammy's is always consistently good unlike many other halal carts. They offer chicken, lamb, mix, or falafel over rice. You have a choice of getting pita or salad. I don't particularly like either the pita or salad but would choose the salad over the pita. Service: The staff are friendly and pleasant. Ambiance: This is a halal cart with no seating. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this halal cart!

Although the price of the chicken over rice is crazy, I can't say too much about that because…read morehalalflation has spread everywhere. I personally really love Sammy's gyro. The seasoning for the chicken is just so good--it's so flavorful! I have never had an issue with my gyro having too little chicken, I feel they have always given me a good amount of everything. If I ask for more sauce, they give me more. If I ask for less sauce, they give me less. I always get hot sauce and white sauce on my chicken over rice, and I can say for sure that the sauces at Sammy's is very very good! Do be aware that there is no seating at this cart, so if you are looking to sit and eat, you'll have to find a nearby bench. Also, I have never faced an issue with the staff, well from what I can remember.

I've had a lot of halal in Queens and this is hands down my new favorite spot! Not only are the workers friendly but the clientele they attract are also nice and welcoming and chatty and really live this spot as well. I ordered the chicken platter as is with extra white sauce and a side of white sauce. Yes, that sauce is amazing!! You can eat there but i took my order to go. It did not disappoint! Flavor of rice chicken and fries were awesome! Fries held up even after taking it home and being covered in takeout container. My only gripe is the chicken to rice ratio. Wayyy more rice than chicken. I would love them to be more equal so I don't have so much rice to throw out/save after. The platter was a meal enough for two! And for a great price. Definitely coming back!

Brother... you want that good street meat? Get your mind out…read moreof the gutter..get with this halal street cart. Now, listen, hillside avenue has long been adorned with a plethora of halal and the like, even this intersection has three or four spots alone; that being said, for years I've been coming only to Sahara halal cart by the subway... with good reason. This guy is surely the best of the three on this intersection if not all of hillside, damn straight. Tonight was the first time in 10 years since I've been going that I checked yelp, sure enough, here is my review. This cart has always been the best and with his track record I'm sure he will reign supreme for years to come. Approach this cart with an appetite! No matter what time you're hungry (tonight I got there a little after midnight) When I walked up, he of course had a couple fellas ordering food at the same time I was there. $5... that's right, $5-$7 will get you a full and delicious container of halal, be it chicken over rice, lamb gyro, or a combo; all of it comes with white sauce hot sauce and salad. Throw him a tip for sure, it's bangin' food at an awesome price. My normal order here is either chicken over rice with extra white sauce and a touch of hot sauce with pita slices (hold the salad) or I get the combo of gyro lamb and chicken over rice (still no damn salad). I always get a lot of white sauce as it's pretty much the best thing ever! I never get pepper and onion like some cats cuz... well... why ruin a good thing? I like pepper and onion, it's wonderful, but not on this, I like it as pure as possible; It's like cocaine, and just as addicting. You don't even need the hot sauce as it can take away from how amazing this thing taste (an I'm normally a hot sauce fiend!) I clearly love this cart and hit it any and every time I visit my friend or just happen to be in the area. You will too, believe me. A quick three cart comparison at this location will tell you all you need to know, the guy directly across hillside ave is okay, but way too spicy (I like spicy, but this just isn't the time for this kind of heat.) The guy diagonally across Hillside and Littleneck is the second best of the intersection and quite tasty as well, but nobody, and I mean nobody, is as good as my boy here at Sahara! I feel bad for anyone walking into subway for not experiencing this guys food cart, or hell even subway since this cart is far superior with their four options. I'd really like to try the kofta but I can't resist my long time favorite. I'm almost glad I live nowhere near hear or I'd get this way too often, it's gosh darn incredible, and superior to those famous halal brothers in manhattan. Please do yourself a favor and stop at this guys cart. Call me up, maybe I'll drive the 40-50 minutes just to grab a piece of heaven and chill.

So I usually hit up the Hamza & Madina cart located diagonally across Hillside/Little Neck (parked…read moreright in front of the CVS) but thought to give the Sahara cart a try after a few years. I have to say I was pleased with the decision! My usual order at a halal cart is the combo (chicken & lamb) over rice so I opted to stick with that. I was asked if I wanted onion chopped & mixed in so I opted to do that. Good choice, I must say. It added a nice punch of flavor but without being overpowering. I think I prefer the rice and the lamb here over what the other local carts offer. The rice was nice and moist, but without being too greasy, and the lamb was flavorful without being overly salty, as is often the case at the Hamza cart. Overall, I found the platter to be well portioned, high in quality, and satisfying but without making me feel gross afterwards. I've got to say that I will be coming back here again soon and I may even elevate them above the Hamza cart if both carts maintain their recent levels of quality.

The burgers I've had were just chicken tenders stuffed between two buns. My dream of trying a proper burger was fulfilled at this store. The beef patty was juicy, flavorful, and went so well with the cheese and vegetables. The buns were smooth and fresh. We also tried the mozzarella sticks, boneless wings, chicken over rice, and loaded fries. I loved loved loved the boneless wings. It was tender, spicy, saucy, and so flavorful. It was fresh and very well made. As someone who has tried chicken over rice from over 10 different places, I wasn't a big fan of the chicken over rice from here. But I definitely do think that everything else from here is worth a shot. My sister's personal favorite was the loaded fries. The fries were crispy, the meat on top was well seasoned, the onions, cheese, and sauce made everything delicious. Each bite was heavenly. The mozzarella sticks were really good too!! Man, you know what, everything was good. And now I'm craving this again. Oh yes, I forgot to mention the interior, location, and service. The inside of the restaurant is very beautiful, the dark wood tables and chairs and the ambient lighting made everything vintage, retro, and aesthetic. The staff were nice, friendly, and very chill. Will be going back!
