Whenever you're in downtown Charlotte, recommend giving this place a try. Yeah, I know it's a food truck, but it's reasonably priced, convenient, and tasty as heck! Service is super fast and the portions are adequate. It does taste great. There's also tables right next to it. We ordered three lamb over rice with a drink. Very good. Definitely a great vibe for a food truck. This is our second time eating here and we have enjoyed each meal. Recommend giving this place a try. read more

A longtime Charlotte staple. I love it, I have loved it for years. That being said I will not longer give these people my money as they refuse to prepare items correctly for delivery. It has happened more times then I can remember, and I stupidly think it may have changed and get it again. Never again. Curious, why do you put an option for extra sauces and charge for them when YOU NEVER PUT ANY SAUCE ON TO BEGIN WITH???? And as we all know this food without the sauce is pointless. Then they will run a promo so you can never get the food refunded after they mess it up. Is it a scam? Maybe. Love the food but I honestly hope they go under and someone else takes over because these people are beyond incompetent. Reading directions and putting sauce on the dish you make over and over is hard /s read more

This halal cart is probably the best uptown. Located on the corner right next to the Bank of America 100 N. Tryon St. Sober? Drunk? The food tastes good. I usually do double meat because I love protein. Their white sauce is yummy. Either have it poured on your food or you can get it on the side. I usually order via Uber Eats and do pickup to save time. No need to wait in the long line if you do so. They are usually fast. Ambiance is fast food truck vibe. Check them out if you're uptown and craving something quick. read more

Halal Food Cart - 1. Chicken Over Rice with double meat - Food Trucks Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Do not eat here!!! Food was slightly above par and I found a hair in it (not sure from where) The cooks were actively smoking as they cooked my food and service was terrible. P. S. (Messed up my stomach for a few days) read more

CLOSES AT MIDNIGHT. I went to this place and got a pretty good chicken Philly and was hoping to get another one for late night snacks. Everything says open until 4am, but at midnight the shutters were slammed shut. WTF.. I walked about 6 blocks to see them, but was lied to. The Red Eye Diner is close by for late night food. read more

Halal Food Cart - THURSDAY NIGHT CLOSED BY MIDNIGHT, NOT 4AM - Food Trucks Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Stopped here because there is always lines of people or people waiting when I drove by. I got a rice plate and a cheesesteak, neither one had any flavor. So confused. Even the white sauce lacked flavor. Pretty disappointing read more

Only spot open near my hotel after arriving into Charlotte late. Not a bad option for a late night eat, service was fast, food was cheap, just don't expect a TON out of the quality. What you pay for is what you get. read more

Halal Food Cart - 3. Chicken & Lamb Combo - Food Trucks Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Delicious food! I have tracked the world and this is just like so many food carts I buy cheap meals from in foreign cities. They make delicious meals that are affordable and very very filling The staff is friendly and helpful and they are fast. There are not a lot of places to get late night meals uptown that aren't loud and crowded bars and a couple of diners, but the Halal Food Cart is a fantastic option for food after a game or a concert or a night of drinking. read more

The Yelp 4 star average is about right for this place. They are located on the corner of Tryon & Trade. There are loud and aggressive homeless people all around and near the order window and they will harass you. Just ignore them and you should be ok. Even though the Yelp menu photo is three years old, their menu has not changed. The guy who took our order was friendly and efficient. We got the lamb gyro and chicken salad. Both were about $7.99 and had good flavor. The quantity is a little small but a good value for the price. Definitely for the salad and possibly for the gyro you will need to either order 2 or eat some other food with it to get satisfied. You can get the sauce on the side for both to reduce the calories if you are watching those. Like some others shared, got some indigestion from their food, but perhaps not as serous as others claimed. Overall, would eat here again and recommend trying them. read more

Pathetic excuse for a salad literally just lettuce and watery ranch. Takes door dash a hour to deliver the only reason why I still order this is because it's the only food option available after 10pm read more

Stopped by for lunch and ordered the chicken and lamb combo--it was great! The food was delicious, well-seasoned, and the portion was perfect for lunch. Definitely a solid spot for a satisfying and affordable meal. read more

I tried to order a lamb gyro. On the truck it posted $8.99. And at the registered it said $9.99. I asked why. He said he changed the price. But I said u didnt on The truck. So I did as he did. N changed my mind on buying food from him. Truck looked decent. Just found it shady practice to post one price then charge another. read more

I traveled for two hours on Charlotte public transit to get here. It was worth it and I will be back. Staff was polite and pleasant, food was delicious and cheap. read more

Halal Food Cart - Combo gyro - Food Trucks Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Ordered via Door Dash. The chicken and rice is salty grilled chopped chicken. Paid for a pita ($1) and falafel ($1) the pita was right from the fridge and crumbly the $1 falafel was burnt, cold and disgusting. See the photo. The "tatziki sauce" was not the delightful, light yogurt based sauce we all know and love, but mayo mixed with weird herbs. Unappealing and greasy. I wouldn't order from them again, read more

Fast and cheap..... But it's fast and cheap. A lot of people say you get what you pay for and that's true about this place. Nice enough person. read more

Expect what you pay for. Inexpensive, good quantity of food, well sauced. Meat was overly salted and dry...Both the lamb and chicken. Pita bread was stale and crumbly. Veggies were fresh. Cheap, decent, but you get what you pay for read more

Great food. Absolutely delicious. Fast service. Worth a stop for sure each time we visit. The location is in a nice area. Good lighting read more

A-1! Super quick service, which was perfect for a 2am bite to eat on the weekend. They were only offering 2 menu items: Chicken over Rice & Chicken and Lamb Combo. That was perfect because we wanted the Chicken and Lamb. Wish we could've ordered 2 but it was CASH ONLY and I only had $13. Here's my review: -Chicken and Lamb combo: DELICIOUS. Make sure you get the white sauce over it. So many delicious flavors. The rice was well seasoned along with the meat. It came with a few slithers of lettuce, which I enjoyed. A LOT of food for $8.99. Total came to exactly $9. You can never go wrong with halal. I would DEFINITELY get it again. The line wasn't too long and the vibes were good. read more

I have been eating at this location since 2017 and I am never disappointed. My food is always seasoned very well and hot. I've tried almost every item on their menu but my staple is the chicken and lamb. The people that work here are always very nice and the service is good. As far as the ambiance well you are in front of the Bank of America building with the water fall so what else could you ask for? read more

It was a sprinkling a bit, maybe that's why nobody was in line. When I had walked by earlier it had a group of people waiting. I was greeted immediately! Ordered my food and turned to walk away and they called me back. My order was ready in less than 30 seconds. It's on a street corner in front of of the Bank Of America Building. There are a quite a few homeless. But they are harmless. Check this place out! Wish the weather was better, grab & go to a local park to enjoy a delicious meal. read more

My late-night go-to. Chicken and lamb over rice is . The price is excellent. And you have to be very careful with the Volcano hot sauce - a little dab will do ya . Very good. read more

This is definitely something I can't get in Cary. One of my friends recommended it and it was relatively cheap and so good! I got the chicken rice platter. Whatever that white stuff is, it's delicious! The food came out steaming hot, too, so I ate it outside and it didn't cool off too much. read more

Halal Food Cart - Chicken and Lamb Combo - Food Trucks Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Came here as I was in the area and haven't had halal in years. My husband and I split the chicken/lamb combo and a falafel pita. The total came to $13. Cash only. The food was lukewarm but otherwise the flavors tasted good. I love whatever white sauce is on these halal dishes. I wish there were more falafel in the wrap, I got some bites of just pita because there wasn't enough falafel inside. All in all, a good experience, I will come back if in the area. read more

The food was tasty, but the issues noted by other Yelp reviewers regarding the homeless population surrounding the cart - were very real. I will never return to this cart again. Someone was sitting right below the food truck's window, where you order. This individual was very aggressive, rude, and downright combative - which only escalated into insulting when I declined to give him my change. When I complained, the proprietor came out and asked this individual to leave, but the proprietor's requests appeared to be performative for my benefit - the person was still sitting under the window when I left - for good. Best of luck. read more

A convenient place to grab Halal if you are in uptown. Not too much of this kind of food in Charlotte, so it was nice to experience falafel and chicken on rice while strolling the avenue. It's cash only, but ATM's abound nearby so you won't go hungry. Our order arrived within 10 minutes, 1 chicken and rice plus a falafel. The price is definitely right with this, as even with a water this was less than $15, however the food was definitely less than hot, maybe lukewarm at best. Also the chicken and rice was definitely more rice than chicken, but hey, it's only $7. I quite enjoyed the falafel, which was flavorful and the pita was tasty as well(I also may have added some of the chicken and rice to the falafel about halfway through). All in all a nice and cheap meal if you're in uptown and want something different besides a burger or chipotle. read more

Every time I'm in Charlotte this food truck is closed and this weekend I got lucky. I've only had Halal food in NY one time and it was very memorable and delicious. I was able to order food through DoorDash and it was ready really quick. I did not get any pictures, but we had Chicken and Lamb Combo, Chicken Over Rice and a Philly Cheesesteak. All of the food was really good and I would definitely go back. read more

Food was delicious and service was good for a good truck! Owner is really nice and the portions are enough for leftovers.

Amazing, delicious, quick and convenient. They're open late and the food is always hot off the grill.

My favorite spot for lamb over rice. Very quick, ready in seconds! Always tastes good! Haven't tried any other items yet. read more

Good but not great. I found the chicken to be pretty basic and bland. Was hoping for more spices. We didn't receive the hot sauce like it said in the description. That may have made it better. read more

Halal Food Cart - Chik Chicken and Lamb Combo - Food Trucks Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

0 Stars. My last order was absolutely DISGUSTING Complete GARBAGE. Tasted like WET TRASH & Hot dog water. Halal truck used to serve good tasting food, but now they just slap together the food, & slop it onto the Togo plate. They literally have chosen quantity over quality, it's not even good any more, at all. You open your tray & food is just all over the place, like they put it in a zip lock bag & shook it around before plopping it onto the tray. They don't even make the food fresh no more. They just keep a pile sitting in a corner & serve that like it's fresh. They over saturate the whole meal with soggy watered down peppers & onions. You can't even take a bite of the meat without a mouth full of oversized, overcooked flavorless peppers they use as filler, literally made me gag. Almost threw up after a few bites. Had to close my eyes & force feed myself to try to eat it before I got entirely gagged & disgusted, & threw the damn near full whole tray in garbage. Considering how disgusting my meal was, has me thinking, how clean even is the grill the food is prepared on...?! taking a look at the mud water inside the drink cooler, tells me everything I need to know. Complete waste of money, NEVER ordering again. Equivalent to eating soggy bread. This truck has been like this for years now, I've spared them this review, they need to do BETTER. The halal cart is supposed to be staple in the city. read more

We were walking by the area and stumbled upon this food truck. I have to say, this food truck is so good. I got the chicken and lamb combo - twice! Very flavorful. The food comes out fast after you order. It is also really affordable for the portions you get. I highly recommend! read more

Halal Food Cart - Chicken and Lamb Combo - Food Trucks Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

The halal food truck craze has taken Uptown Charlotte by storm as there are multiple trucks on standby to provide lunch to busy office workers or a welcome drunk meal to late night parties. The most prominent of these is the Halal Food Cart which is usually posted up in the heart of Uptown on the intersection of Trade and Tryon. Unfortunately they are cash only which is puzzling because you are able to order from them on Door Dash so you would think they would have the ability to accept card payments. I've found that the quality varies from different visits, most recently I was a little let down. I ordered on Door Dash the lamb over rice, which usually is excellent. This time however I felt that it was simply over salted and lacked the flavor I had enjoyed previously. I suppose everyone has off nights. The lines you will often see forming outside the truck really speak for themselves, and I can tell you from experience that after a long night out, a lamb over rice can hit the spot like no other. read more

This place hit so close to home. It's a food stall parked on the side on the street. During my visit to NYC I tasted my fair share of halal carts and this caused those beautiful memories to resurface. Cheap and filling, I didn't think I'd ever see another halal cart outside of NYC but here it is! As the Gen Z's say nowadays - the food was bussin' bussin'. It was slappin' slappin'. For 8 bucks it can't get any better. I had the chicken and lamb over rice with with red and white sauce drizzled over on top. Excellent flavors all around with the right amount of spices and heat level to take it over the top! I enjoyed every bite. If you want both the spicy red sauce and white sauce you have to tell them otherwise they'll just drizzle only the white sauce by default. For all you spicy food lovers, the red sauce is a must and changes the ball game - get it! Keep in mind this place is cash only so make sure to have some. Overall, come here for some awesome bussin' bussin' halal food! Highly recommended! read more

You might walk right past this little food cart uptown regularly without stopping and that would be a mistake. I got the chicken and lamb combo which comes over rice with a cream sauce. We forgot to ask for hot sauce on it so they gave it to us on the side. It was so delicious! The hot sauce added a good amount of heat and flavor. It's also a good amount of food for only $6. Note that it's cash only so come prepared or find an atm nearby uptown. This little cart is serving up delicious, cheap food. Stop by next time you're walking past. read more

I usually get a chicken or lamb gyro, but decided to change it up this time. This was as good as it looks. The meat is topped over rice and you get a little side of lettuce. The sauce that comes on top is amazing. Reasonably priced as well, only $8. read more
