    Comme Ci Comme Ça is not your average street meat truck. It melds all different type of Mediterranean flavors in one plate. I had the Royale combo over Basmati Rice which has a little bit of everything (lemon chicken, beef, kofta, and merguez). You can really taste all the Mediterranean spices Chef Samir uses to create these unique street meat dishes. So glad they park near my office twice a week!

    Always has a long line because the food here is so damn good. The couscous is delicious and every meat I have had here whether it was lamb, kefta, chicken, etc. has been awesome. The chef is really friendly and I am always happy to see the truck when I go looking for lunch. Highly recommend the truck. The spices he uses are unique and I have never had anything that did not fully satisfy me.

    Chef Samir is a great guy! He always has the biggest smile on his face when he takes your order (and asks for your name, so they can call you when they're done). The food is also amazing. The lemon chicken over rice was heavenly with white and a little spicy Andalusian sauce. I've also had the beef brochette and the beef kofta over rice. Both were good, but the lemon chicken blew them out of the water. Definitely plan on trying everything on the menu. Only bad thing is that we saw someone with a punch card for a free meal after X orders (I assume 10), and when we asked about it, they said they were out. I definitely could have made good use of that!

    I've been wanting to try the food here for ages, so when I saw the truck parked on 38th & Broadway this morning, I was set to buy lunch from here. I finally went to the truck at 12.30, starving, and there was already a small line. They took my order quick and I got it within less than 15 minutes. I ordered the Merguez Couscous w/ Mint Ice Tea.. The couscous was A-MAZING!!!! It was fluffy and slightly more creamier than what I'm used to having. Piled on top with the spicy merguez & yummy vegg (squash, carrots, zucchini) it was perfection. The sauces are great, definitely go a bit heavy on it. If you don't like spicy, make sure to not get the spicy sauce because IT'S HOT! The mint tea was good, I liked the fact that they actually brew the tea with mint leaves. It's such a breath of fresh air to have Moroccan food in midtown, especially when you start getting bored with the food available around here. Next week I'm going to try their burger (which has been a great hit according to some of my coworkers) Now I am going to proceed to hide under my desk for a quick nap

    Chickpeas, carrots, sweet potatoes, zucchini...aka lemon chicken cous cous !

    Reader beware! Once you've tasted this food truck, well the rest of the food trucks just don't feel right. Hmm...maybe I'm being a bit carried away but give me a chance to first explain myself. After all, this is the land of the free and the home of the hungry. You come up to the truck and you see some logos, some awesome art on the truck, and usually a long line of hungry customers. Chef Samir is just an overall amazing person. He brings it out not only in his interaction with his customers but it just beams out. So now let's get to the meat of why I'm writing this review. Before you continue, check out my picture because after all, pictures speak volume. I got the lemon chicken cous cous with Casablanca sauce and some other red spicy sauce. Whole chickpeas, eggplant, carrots, sweet potatoes, tender juicy perfectly seasoned chicken. I mean, when I give a review like this we are usually talking about full blown establishments but this is coming out of a food truck! Samir is the real deal and his food will make you believe...I don't know what it is you believe but trust me, he'll do it! And, on top of that I texted them my order and pick up time and it was ready precisely when I got there! Talk about service! They are on 52nd and Park on Wednesdays FYI and it's a must!

    Comme Ci Comme wha?! This whimsical food truck meandering around midtown was close by, so a coworker and myself decided to check it out. The design of the food truck is comical, to say the least, with Chef Samir painted on the side covering himself with an umbrella from falling vegetables. Indeed, Chef Samir and his assistant are two soft-spoken, yet jovial guys that you can find yourself talking to for a few minutes. Although some Mediterranean dishes such as Moroccan Kofta and Mergez were being offered, I decided to stick with what I knew for my first try of this truck. I ordered the Lemon Chicken Platter ($6.00), served with caramelized onions, roasted tomatoes, green peppers, green olives, and spices. The chicken was of the dark meat variety. And we all love dark meat because of its tender and juiciness, caused from the abundant hemoglobin, or large amounts of oxygen in the blood. Dark meat doesn't take a lot to make it tasty over its lighter cousin, white meat, but Chef Samir did a good job adding spices to amp up the flavor profile. The lemon chicken is served over a bed of basmati rice, a spoonful of soft chickpeas, and a side salad consisting of spinach, which is a refreshing take from the typical generic lettuce that almost every other food truck serves. Chef Samir's whimsical attitude trickles down to the name of his sauces: - Green Olive Sauce - Spicy Mint Sauce (green sauce) - Spicy Andalusian Sauce (hot sauce) - Casablanca Sauce (white sauce) I tried three of their sauces, the spicy andalusian sauce, or better in street terminology as hot sauce. It was thick in consistency and have some noticeable heat so go easy on it if you're not a huge spice eater. The spicy mint sauce was good, didn't taste like much which left nothing to be desired. Any notion of mint flavor was unnoticeable. The white sauce was yummy in all its thick and creamy goodness. Also worth noting: While we waited for our food, I asked for a piece of the Merguez, lamb sausage, which was placed on the grill for several minutes and then sliced. It was tender and flavorful, a little on the gamey (lamb) side, but good enough to warrant me to possibly order this dish on my next visit. My coworker had ordered the Chicken with Cous Cous ($8.00). I tried the cous cous and was delighted that such a truck would serve something fairly unique from the rest of the food truck competition, and he got it right. The cous cous was cooked through to softness, taking away the grittness. Another thumbs up that I wouldn't mind getting in substitution of the typical rice. In all, Comme Ci Comme Ca serves up some unique dishes ranging from Moroccan Kofta, Merguez, cous cous and more. Prices are definitely higher, but considering the items they serve, prices are fair and portions are slightly generous. I don't think I would frequent this truck on a daily basis as I wasn't amazed by their food, but once in a while you may find me here splurging.

    Basmati Royale!

    This is my go to place for lunch in mid-town Manhattan. Bottom line the food is great, it's under $10 and you get lots of food for you buck. Currently the big green truck parks on 36th between Broadway and 6th on Tuesday, Thursday and Fridays. But who knows when the police are going to start cracking down on food trucks and their parking habits again as they did last summer. Comme Ci Comme Ca has been coming around for about a year now and I've been going at least once a week for just as long. Before the truck won rookie of the year at the Vendie Awards and was voted street meat of the year by Midtown Lunch I used to be able to talk to Chef Sammir about the truck and everything, he is a good guy. So the food, everything is really good. My go to lunch is the simple lemon chicken over rice. You get a ton of chicken over the perfectly cooked rice. You also get a small mescaline salad, a spoonful of chick peas and a spoonful onion relish (I usually ask for an extra scoop of each because they are so good mixed in with the rice and chicken). On top I get Casablanca sauce (the usual street meat white sauce but better) and the spicy mint sauce. Chef Sammir also offers a spicy red and his green olive sauces which are both very good, the red sauce is certainly spicy though. If I'm really hungry I'll ask the guys to add some of the roasted vegetables (squash, zucchini, etc) from the couscous on my place as well which are all very yummy. For the money ($7, used to be $6 as of a week ago) you really can't beat it. The other meal I turn to when very hungry is the basmati royale. It features the same rice and sides as the chicken but it then adds all of the meats on top; chicken, lamb kofta, merguez sausage and beef! The meats are all grilled to order on a grill in the back so it has a great charred meat flavor then it's all piled on the rice, pick your sauces and you are good to go. The royale plate starts to get expensive (now $11, used to be $10) but there is some really high quality meats on this plate. Comme Ci Comme Ca also offers couscous platters where you can get any of the above meats over couscous and roasted vegetables. The couscous is good but not great so I prefer the rice. They also offer sandwiches made with any of the meats of which I have yet to try. As I've mentioned, Chef Sammir has recently raised his prices $1 across the board. I've heard the portions are a bit bigger but even plus $1 it's all worth it. If you feel like this might become a lunch place you add to your regular rotation make sure you ask for the punch card. After 10 meals you get your next one free! With the increase in price it appears that Comme Ci Comme Ca will start to serve dinner soon but a date has not yet been set for this. All in all I would highly recommend every stop by, say hello to the guys in the truck and order up some food (as long as you don't come too often, the lines are long enough already!)

    Lemon chicken cous cous
    Adam M.

    Exceeded my high expectations. The cart owner returned my email this morning on his location today. Lemon chicken cous cous is best that I've had in the City - on par with cuisine I enjoyed visiting Morocco.

    Moroccan kofta over basmati rice
    Lisa G.

    Have been to this food truck close to a handful of times and will continue to go. One of the better food trucks in the midtown east area. Have only tried the rice dishes Both the Moroccan Kofta and Merguez have been super flavorful and juicy. The tilapia was cooked perfectly but not as well seasoned. TIP - Do not douse both the red hot and spicy mint sauce over the food unless you want to set your mouth on fire.

    spotted: new food truck in Midtown East! $7 got me a Merguez Sandwich: juicy lamb sausage and savory roasted veggies on a soft doughy baguette. rather strange texture for a baguette (i hear baguette, i expect crusty), but it was perfect for sopping up all the yummy juices. the finger-lickin' good 'wich came in a plenty satisfying size for my weekday lunch. you know it's a good meal when you cant wait 'til you get home to eat it. i tore through that sucker on the train with abandon and attracted not just a few hungry on-lookers. good luck, chef samir! hope business goes well.

It took her about 30 minutes to get there (), but the staff were so kind about it. They never made me feel uncomfortable or pressured to order while I waited, which I really appreciated. I did end up ordering a couple things so there would be food on the table when she arrived. We got the za'atar fries and the falafel with tahini and pita. Delishhhh For our mains, my friend got the chicken kebab which looked fantastic, and I got the veggie couscous bowl. It was unbelievable. It tasted exactly like the couscous my mom and safta made when I was growing up, even down to the broth being served with it. Eating it honestly made me feel like I was six years old again. This was one of my favorite meals as a kid and I haven't had it like that in so long, so I was so happy to find a place that does it this well. The vegetables were perfect with zucchini, butternut squash, cauliflower, and chickpeas, and I loved the addition of raisins and onions. Everything was also really reasonably priced for what you get. The energy in the restaurant was great and I loved that they have hooks for coats so you're not crammed at the table with jackets and bags. Overall just such a fantastic experience. This is easily my new favorite restaurant in the city and I cannot wait to come back.
