Another excellent halal cart and the best I've sampled in deep Queens. Exceptionally high quality and well spiced lamb. Particular well assembled and plumply stuffed gyros wrapped in fluffy and delicious pitas. With the platters they practice the steadily increasing trend I've noticed of chopping the pita up into smaller pieces before topping the platter with them, which serves the process of offering some fun new textural contrasts to the mix, though they stop short of the ingenious double layering and saucing technique of my current halal GOAT Farooks of Irving Place in Manhattan (see previous review). Prices, perhaps unsparingly due to it's location in the solidly middle to working class slice of the Worlds borough, prices are a bit lower than the current city-wide average, resulting in a steady stream of loyal school age clientele. Unfortunately though surely no fault of the carts, there's a dearth of seating immediately near the cart, the closest nearest option being some outdoor seating at the McDonalds which is often occupied and/or policed by McDonalds staff warning off outside food interlopers. Luckily for me I'm always on my bike so I can grab my grub to go and quickly bike to the nearest park to wolf it down as quickly as possible.. read more

Father and Son Halal Cart - Food Stands Near Me - Flushing, New York

My colleague recommended this food truck, so I decided to try them since I haven't had Halal food in ages. Food was delicious and fresh. Portion was good. Got a decent amount of food for $9 which also comes with a free can of soda. Owner is also pleasant. He told me to wait in the car because it was BRICK that day, (brrrrrr) and he brought my food to me when it was ready. Awesome! read more

Father and Son Halal Cart - Chicken & Rice w/ Pita Bread and salad - Food Stands Near Me - Flushing, New York

See all

Located on the corner of kissena blvd and 75th ave. Opened till 10pm on weekends and 11pm on weekdays. Their portions are very generous and well worth the 7 dollars a platter. The combo of lamb and chicken over rice is the same price. Their platter come with a free drink too. They take orders over the phone and you can drive up to their cart to pick your order up too. I personally love their halal because their rice is mixed with loads of onions. They give a lot of meat and includes a pita bread as well. read more

I've never personally eaten anything, but my family speaks of how good it is. I know they've been on this corner for many years and they're very kind; we interact with them when we're looking for parking... I'll have a lamb over one spoon of rice, salad, hot sauce all over w/ a drizzle of white sauce, one day, then update my this review! read more

My go to place when I'm craving Halal food! By far my favorite place to get my Halal food fix! You can call ahead so you don't have to wait! read more

Father and Son Halal Cart - Combo rice - Food Stands Near Me - Flushing, New York

Pretty good chicken over rice with salad. I was craving halal food and had to go get money across the street Chase. This was the perfect location and the food definitely satisfied my hunger! The chicken over rice comes with a salad and a drink. Priced at $7 per order, it was good and quick for a wonderful lunch on a sunny afternoon. read more

This Halal food got to be the worst $7 for Lamb over rice. Not only the food was stale, but it also tasted funny. I call in and order my foods, after 10 minutes or so the guy gave me an attitude asking if I'm still coming. Terrible business method if you ask me. When arriving here, he keeps constantly looking at me. Do me a favor if you going charge people $7 for mediocre foods you shouldn't be in business at all. The quality of the foods was disgusting and I had way better Halal foods in the best. I highly recommend avoiding this food truck if I were you guys. I normally don't write a review but this one deserves it. For $7 I expect this amazing not some shity service with crappy garbage foods you were selling. IDK how half or a lot of you guys put 5 star when the foods isn't spectacular. read more

This is a good, reliable halal cart. I've been coming here for years and the owner is very sweet and humble. The food is always fresh and tasty. The prices are reasonable. Great spot for quick food! read more

First off, I want to commend how they do business. I will 1000% be coming back. I went tonight around 9pm and i double parked and went to the front of the cart and ordered my food. when i opened my wallet, I realized that I only had $10.. I thought i had $20 :( I wanted to order 2 chicken and rice's but I didn't have enough so I ordered 1 chicken and rice and 1 chicken wrap ($1.99). The owner told me to go sit back in my car and he would bring the food to me. about 30 seconds later, i realized, there was a chase across the street ! so i told him ill be back in a couple of min and i would run to the bank to get some more money. He told me, its ok! just pay me next time. mind you, he doesn't know who I am. I don't like to owe people money esp halal food cart. i went across the street, got my money and came back to him. When I pulled up, he immediately said, i will bring it to you. sit in the car but h e had a line of people and people in cars ordering and i didn't want to inconvenience him. Very busy for a 9pm on a monday night ! :) Its not easy to find great service esp for a food cart but even though this place is a little bit of a drive for me, I'd rather drive further to have amazing food that is worth the price. $7- fresh looking salad + tomatoes, lots of chicken and rice + gyro bread without me even needing to ask!!! + drink of choice. LOVE ITTTTTT :) I used to go to Shah's near QC but they suck now. Small portions and food isn't the same as before. Father & Son halal cart is where I will be coming from now on!!! read more

I have been coming here for years. The owner is one of the most dedicated, hardest workers I have ever seen. They are open everyday and open late. You can call ahead for your order or just pull up in your car and order. I always get out to order because I enjoy his conversation as much as the food. I usually get the combo over rice. It's always fresh and delicious. I have had the falafel and shawarma here as well as just as exceptionally delicious. It's definitely one of the best halal carts in Queens and in a great location. (Close to my house) Oh, and I take credit for him having a "tip cup." The great thing about it is he sends the money home to Afghanistan. read more

I would have to say this is one of the best halal trucks I ever had in a while!! This more like a home cooked type of halal.. What makes everything good just so I could round it up is that they show love!! That being said is a domimo affect of just making the food so amazingly delicious. Anything you get is just right for you.. I look forward to recommend anyone who loves halal to this place.. Also let's say the person in the truck is not busy and your driving you can just pull up with your vehicle and order from your car, I didn't do that but when I saw that, I was like whattttt!! That's amazing. read more

So good! I just came here yesturday and the food was great. At first I was a little turned off because the price for chicken over rice was $6.99. Which is $1 more than most halal trucks in that area. It was worth the extra $1 though. The rice was nice and shelly. The chicken was well seasoned. The salad was fresh with tomatoes. And the pita bread is free, which was nicely cut up. It was all a great combination. Also, my tray was actually over filled with food, they werent stingy! This is my new halal spot read more

My go-to spot for AUTHENTIC and delicious halal food. Friendly and hardworking owner always makes it a better way to come back and support a local business! So good, you have to try and you will definitely come back for more! read more

Father and Son Halal has to be one of the better halal trucks in NYC. The dishes are full with flavor and rich spices with huge influence from Pakistani/Afghani cuisine. I'm surprised there aren't more people who eat at the cart. Typical items include gyros and platters, but Father and Son tries to differentiate itself from the other carts by expanding it's menu to include salads and even Tilapia platters and salads. I'm still a bit too apprehensive towards trying the Tilapia though. Stick with the classics (lamb and chicken platters); or try the Chapli Rice Platter. Chapli is a barbequed chicken patty with rich eastern spices and flavor. Get a Chapli platter with white sauce, green sauce, some free pita and brown rice and you're set. This truck has a special green sauce made of cilantro that adds even more depth and is a great addition to any platter or gyro. Personally I think the gyros are too small but the platters are great. Father and Son Halal is delicious, give them a try. read more

As a food truck... This one is pretty good! I wouldn't say the best but good. This was my first time trying this food stand and it was cool. The prices are a little high but you can call in your order ahead of time which I think is very convenient considering this New York weather. If you like halal food I would suggest trying here at least once. Get a taste of New York read more

Father and Son is one of my favorite haunts. In fact this cart was the first time I had tried Halal food. The typical platters include brown basmati rice, a salad including lettuce, tomatoes, and purple cabbage (most halal food carts only have the lettuce). For me the salad plays an important part in cooling off my mouth when tasting that burning hot sauce. I admit the first time I ate halal food I could never finish it because I couldn't stand the hot sauce with either chicken, lamb or tilapia, which is one of my usual platters that I order. The tilapia is another unique staple if this halal food cart. I noticed that a few halal food carts on Main street once served fish, but it seems that it simply fell out of fashion; most likely because fish from a street cart sounds rather dubious. I've had the fish a couple of times and even though it tasted "fishy", it was alright. read more

This is the best halal food cart I've had!! The amount was enough for 2 people. I ordered the Chapli kebab and kofta combo and it was amazing!!! I also ordered lam and chicken combo for my husband and chicken over rice for my son. For $6.99 it's a great deal and it includes the soda. read more

Better than any of shah's halal carts on kissena near Queens college. Tastes homemade and less processed looking than the chain shah's. You can call ahead and double park right in front of Walgreens while you pick it up. Totally worth supporting this delicious cart. The father in father and son always says "God bless" after handing you your meal. Nice touch Halal man, nice touch. read more

I have been going to this cart for over 5 years and there was never a time that I didn't love my food. The food is always fresh and he is very humble man. They provide awesome service. I have tried everything on the menu and love it all, but my most favorite item is chapli Kabab. I highly recommend his food. read more

As far as Halal carts go this is the best in the neighborhood and far better than the average cart. The portions are generous and the food is fresh. They give some pita with your plates without asking which is always a plus for me. I get sauces on the side, white, hot and most of all the green sauce is a must, unique to this cart and adds another layer of flavor to your plate. The plates cost $7 and you get a soda with it. They also have a call ahead number for pick up. read more

This is my goto chicken over rice place during work. The food is consistently good and great price for the portion, nice guy and has never let me down as yet. Great halal if your in that area of queens. read more

Father and Son Halal Cart - Food Stands Near Me - Flushing, New York

Its my favorite halal cart. I love their food. Its so yummy and its spicy and delicious. You can never get tired of it. Worth a try .

Went by yesterday for my usual lamb/chicken combo over rice, except this time I asked for pita bread. Its free so make sure you ask for whole pita on the side or if you like, he will cut it up into your platter. Just remember the pita will soak up your white sauce so ask for extra. Usually the owner is there or otherwise he has nephews or someone else. Someone drove up like a drive thru while I waited. Can't go wrong with that lol read more

This place really went down hill! No wonder he never had customers anymore and food is old at all times day and night. I came here one night grabbed 2 plates of food and a sign says free pita and was charged $1 for pita and i asked for sauce on the side and for every little container he charged me $1. I guess there business is so slow so they have to charge for every little thing. It use to be real great but not anymore. read more

Luv this spot! Great fresh food and the guy is really nice and brings the food too you!

Great location, Felafel is delish and the proprietor is very friendly. I call ahead to pick up a couple of times every month...

As a halal food truck fanatic I've tried many places in the NYC area including king of falafel in Astoria and Halal guys in Manhattan and I would say this place is pretty much up there with the famous ones. The guy who works there also will take your order over the phone so that will save you some time. Not only is his food good quality the quantity is good also. He also has a special green sauce which tastes good with the kebab and lamb it's a good sauce for people who cannot handle too much spicy red sauce. You can't go wrong with the lamb n rice platter for 7 bucks which also includes a soda. The father is a great guy he always hooks it up with plenty of extra sauce. He's not stingy at all like some other halal trucks with there sauce. The father treats his customers like we are all his own sons. Thank god this halal cart is close by to my house. read more

Food is great, rice is so tasty, I always get the lamb and chicken over rice with the tasty white sauce and little hot sauce, the amount of food you get in one order is tremendous, I can't even finish it, my favorite is the gentleman who serves and prepares the food, he is so nice and funny, one of my favorite push carts in the area!!! read more

Why have I been gng anywhere else! The chicken over rice taste soo fresh. Free pita bread over the rice and chicken. Yummy... I won't be gng any where else from now on. read more

Amazing halal food. Definitely one of the best spots in queens. Try the green sauce if you want something different, it's a nice change from the regular "white sauce/hot sauce". Theyre fast and friendly and basically always there. I always get falafel, but I've heard amazing things about the chicken/lamb as well. read more

The best Halal food in the area I always get the mix chicken wit lamb over rice wit pita bread and salad wit white sauce and bar bq NO ONIONS!!! Lol BANGIN!!!!! read more

I just love this hala food best in kissena blvd. the food is greatly fresh and always gives a generous amount!

Mmm halal! The guys here are so nice and generous. My roommates and I always come here and they hook us up. They give free pita if you ask, even if you got a rice dish. Everything tastes fresh, and I've never felt or gotten sick after eating here. Keep up the good work guys! read more

Best halal truck in NYC free pita bread and as much sauce as you request ! And they even have children special chicken wrap! The Dad is super nice polite and just awesome ! Highly recommended ! read more

One of the best carts in NYC. Uses restaurant quality rice unlike the rest of the carts, owner is a very nice guy. Gives generous portions of rice,pita and meat. A hidden gem of halal food look him up worth a trip if your in a near by area read more

This place is as good as it gets as Halal food... At least in NY! Unlike Arial Kabab you don't get a bad attitude on the side, instead you get a fluffy pita bread. Now those of you who complaint without even eating there, get a life!! read more

The quality has been getting worse and worse and they don't even care anymore. If you don't see a customer by the cart and feel they haven't had one in some time, beware that your chicken will most likely be burnt and dry. Today was the final straw because the guy made small talk straight to myself while knowing full well he was serving me garbage. read more

Good lamb meat. Had a gyro, drove back home about 10 mins away, and the food was still hot. Good spot for gyro cravings!

I think if this gentleman had his cart somewhere in Manhattan, he would have definitely gained an enormous amount of popularity. The Father and Son halal food is by far the most flavorful halal cart food i have eaten - anywhere in the city of New York! Yes, I have tried the Guys on 6th ave. Their food is bland compare to these guys. I usually get the Chapli platter for my dinner while on break. It consists of two patties of grilled ground chicken mixed with whole coriander and few other spices and authentic Afghan style brown rice that's mixed with whole cumins (for the aroma). You like your food spicy? Well, he has some homemade hot pepper sauce on the side that will fulfill anyone's appetite for some sweat pouring spicy meal! read more

I come here often on my lunch breaks. The food is delicious, and the owner is really cool. He hooks It up w free pita bread and unlimited sauce. Ps. Try the Chapli kabab or kofta kabab, you won't be disappointed. God bless read more
