was in the neighborhood and the Lamb over rice was as solid/delicious as I remembered. Cash only. Pricing is now $10. Max is $11. I only asked for a little red sauce and it was spicy! Hours are around 1030am to 5ish am. These guys are friendly but work their butts off read more

I love this cart, falafel is awesome. Falafel sandwich or add a few pieces falafel on top of a rice/meat dish.

The best halal food in all of New York. I wish other NYers could savor this deliciousness. If only they could be in other locations besides Bay Ridge. Highly recommend the mix Gyro. It's the best sandwich in NY. I've tried this combination at other Halal carts and it never compares this place. Their lamb is seasoned much different than any other halal cart. It's not as salty and the meat has a nice bounce to it. Chicken is fantastic too. The seasoning is more middle eastern style than the curry flavor seasoning you might get at other places. If you're in Bay Ridge or looking for some late night snacks, come here at this Brooklyn landmark. Definitely one of my favorite places in south Brooklyn. Cheers read more

Middle Eastern Halal Food - Combo Rice Platter - Halal Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The service is pretty smooth . There's always a line waiting which says something about the quality and placement but the guys are efficient and work well together . The downside is that it's possible to get meat that was cooked before you ordered it which obviously what happened with my order because the meat was dry and tasted like dirt . No ambiance here , it's a standard NYC street vendor. If you're going try these guys be sure to ask how long the meat has been sitting. read more

Middle Eastern Halal Food - Menu - Halal Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I do think this is one of the best halal food trucks in NYC. But I guess it's the best since I can't name another best at this time? My go to is always mixed (lamb + chicken) over spicy rice with white sauce and hot sauce (no bbq sauce for me) it's always consistently delicious without disappointment. Nice portion and they don't skim on the meats. One unfortunate thing is that because of our current world situation they had raise their prices, but that is the same every where at this time... it's $10 for mixed over rice ($9 for just chicken or lamb) read more

Middle Eastern Halal Food - Mixed over rice with white sauce and hot sauce - Halal Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I have been a fan of this cart forever. One of my closest friends wanted to meet up for coffee to catch up. After meeting her, I passed by this cart. I couldn't resist picking up a lamb with rice. At $7, it included a lot of meat, yellow rice and salad. My travel time from there to home was 1/2 hour. It was still warm when I ate it. I can't recommend this place enough. It's filling and delicious. In my opinion, it is better the Halal guys in Midtown Manhattan. read more

Middle Eastern Halal Food - Lamb and rice- $7 - Halal Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I don't live around bay ridge so I waited sooo long to finally try this place and honestly was quite disappointed. The food was definitely fresh and hot, however the flavor profile was not there for an $11 platter. Its pretty comparable to the halal guys, but the lamb is in tiny pieces that have no lamb flavor. The sign says price increase on june 26, but hes already demanding the new price 3 weeks early. read more

Box came half full and at $11 for a combo as of July of 2022 . This place was the spot for a long time but now they are probably riding off their old reputation. Just read the other yelp reviews and you can tel they skimming. Get your halal food from another habibi read more

Middle Eastern Halal Food - Half full combo over rice - Halal Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is really-really good Halal. They do something different with their salad - they toss in stuff you won't find at other spots. During my most recent visit, the chicken and lamb was overcooked and I don't put much white sauce, but I still have to give this a 5/5. They're really good for this side of Brooklyn and if you pay for extra protein portions, they will hook you up. read more

Great spot for late night lamb over rice with white sauce and a little hot sauce. If you are in the area definitely stop by for a snack!

Middle Eastern Halal Food - Vegan! Falafels over rice and salad with tahini, red sauce, barbecue dressing. Lucky to go here as a go-to. Hard working guys. - Halal Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had really fond memories of this halal cart, but I came to grab food recently and it didn't quite live up to my expectations & memories! I got my usual chicken over rice, & ordered a combo for my boyfriend. Total came out to $21 with 2 sodas. Overall, we agreed that it was quite bland, and definitely needed a lot more white sauce than was on there (and there was already a good amount!!). Would also probably ask for more hot sauce next time, as the small amount didn't really do much for me to amp up the flavor. The guys here are really friendly though! read more

Quality has severely declined. Seems like they got gassed from all these 5star reviews that they don't care anymore. Stopped for 4 platters last night - dude wasn't paying attention and fucked up the sauces on all the platters. * meat was tasteless and had no flavor * barely any meat in the platters * pita wasn't toasted Really disappointing. Woke up this morning to severe stomach cramping and literal pain. Not sure if I'll return bcuz the new guys working the cart are assholes and the food doesn't taste good - IT HAS NO TASTE. #sad #tragic #rip read more

One of the best Halal carts in Brooklyn. Conveniently open until 5am. It is the perfect after hours destination for a rice box. Slap on some pita bread for only a dollar. This cart never disappoints. Quality has been consistent for a long time. Price per order has jumped from $6 to $7 after 9/1/2019. Worth every penny. read more

Middle Eastern Halal Food - White, BBQ, and Hot Sauce on a Combo over Rice - Halal Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I HAVE COMPARED BOTH CARTS IN THE INTERSECTION OF 86TH ST AND 5TH AVE. AND I'VE CONCLUDED THAT *PYRAMID* IS BETTER. This cart is okay, and I never noticed that it could use more seasoning until I tried the Pyramid cart, their mixed plate $6 was delicious. Definitely my go to. This cart has its long lines and the wait can be long (I guess the more they become known the longer lines will be from now on). I don't think I will be coming back to this one having discovered the Pyramid cart across the street. Falafels are super bad, do not eat them. They are now 2 for $1 (price increase) read more

One of the best Halal carts I've ever been to! I can't say that this is the best Halal cart in Brooklyn since I haven't been to many in the borough, but I have been to many in the city and they are definitely up there in terms of quality and one of my favorites! The cart is open during late hours, as well as day hours. There is never really a long line here, but it can take 6-8 minutes to leave with your order because they tend to take their time making each order. Most of the platters (chicken, lamb, combination) are $6. The typical carb added to the platters is yellow rice, but this cart ALSO offers spicy rice, which I've only seen at one other cart in all of NYC! I usually get the combination (chicken + lamb) over spicy rice with white sauce and hot sauce. The meats they put in the platter are very fresh and the serving sizes are just right, not too little and not too much. I tend to have a big appetite and if this fills me up then the chances are that it'll fill anyone up! There is one small complaint that I can nitpick about and that is they don't add enough tomatoes to each order (by default). I've seen them prepare the boxes and they usually grab about 4-6 little pieces of tomatoes only. The good thing though is that you can always request for them to add extra, which I've seen them do, but I'd prefer them to make sure there's a good balance of ingredients in each order without me asking for extra anything. Despite this small hiccup, the platters are one of the best I've still ever tasted and I'll continue coming here for as long as they are in the area! read more

This halal cart is one of the best ones I've ever had. The chicken and rice has plenty of flavor by itself but when you add the white sauce... YUMMY!! Be wary of the hot sauce, it is REALLY spicy. Lines tend to be long, especially after 10pm, but it moves pretty quickly. read more

I've come here before every Saturday. Their food was delicious. I came back recently, I don't know why, but it tasted different now. The Falafel, the chicken and the rice. I mean the sauce is good and all. Something changed. In Addition, I tried asking for extra white sauce(not on the side). They did not even care and just put the same amount on all my 3 orders. read more

Middle Eastern Halal Food - Chicken over rice with a falafel and salad. White and BBQ sauce - Halal Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Like I said in my tip, time for you to move over Halal Guys. You have been dethroned as the best Halal food in the city, by a food truck in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Alright, so Bay Ridge may be a bit far for some Chicken/Lamb over rice enthusiasts, but I assure you, it is so worth the extra effort! One of my best friends took me here the other night on a last minute food run. We drove from Bayside, Queens! Loll #ThatsDedication Even at midnight, this food truck has a line and a loyal following. Their food tastes fresh, unlike halal carts I've eaten at. And like other reviewers have mentioned, they DO hook you up with the lamb and chicken! And the meat is quite flavorful too! Only downside for me is it's located so far away.. T_T Wish I lived in Brooklyn..LOL read more

This is the best spot to come to late night. Me and my boyfriend mostly hang out in the night, and often after 12pm, most of the places to eat are closed, except this halal food truck. Everything about the food is just perfect. You have a choice between regular rice or spicy rice. You have a choice between 4 sauces for your food, white sauce, hot sauce, bbq sauce, and their special green sauce. Every time i go, i order mix over spicy rice with white and green sauce and hot on the side. I warn you, the hot sauce is very spicy but yet so delicious. One of the workers inside the truck does tend to curse a lot, but don't take it personally. He does it to ensure you are enjoying your wait. Him cursing is what makes the experience more fun, he definitely makes you laugh. The line to this halal truck often gets long, so i hope you are patient enough to wait in line as they only take care of one customer at a time. For me the wait is always worth it, no matter what. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some halal food. read more

Middle Eastern Halal Food - Mix over rice with pita bread and all 4 of their sauces - Halal Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great tasting, sizeable portions, and affordable price. What more can you ask for? I could swear that Halal Guys gives a slightly bigger portion, but I haven't been there in a while and I might be confusing the brick and mortar spot with the truck. Either way, if I lived in Bay Ridge, this would be my spot, without a doubt. Friendly, fast, and not as greasy as it totally could be--it's a great truck food option. It's also located on the corner of a huge intersection with at least one bank (my bank, oh goodie) right across the street, so cash only becomes a non-issue. But, don't confuse them with the OTHER halal cart on the same corner as the bank. Nothing against them, I'm sure, but I came through for THIS cart based on the reviews. And it did not disappoint. Plus, I was starving (see: Health Check Medical Center review). So, there's that too! :) read more

This Halal cart is my go-to favorite in Bay Ridge. Adjacent to Citibank on 5th Ave, dont confuse it with the one across 86th St. THEY are not the same... and if you happen to forget, look for the one with a line. Don't worry, It'll be obvious. C'mon, that was too easy! Their hours are somewhat sporadic, but you can count on them to be there sometime after lunch-time, all the way into the wee hours of the morning... (I really don't know how late, but I've seen them operate past 2am before) I can vouch for their cleanliness as I've never had a bad experience. As far as taste, although they are on par with The Halal Guys in Manhattan, having them there sure offsets the price of making the trek to midtown or even Union Square for chicken and rice. (I really don't care if you're a CnR purist or snob) Go for mixed (lamb & chicken) on yellow rice.... or if you're feeling lucky, spicy rice! Wahaha! You can have it with the ubiquitous white sauce and hot sauce... or that's not your cup of tea, there's always BBQ, but why would you do that??? ... and you can even ask them to omit the salad, you omnivore you. Go get your chicken & rice today! read more

Middle Eastern Halal Food - Mixed over yellow rice - Halal Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

THE BEST HALAL in NYC!! I will literally commute 40+ mins to get lamb for rice! My go to order( give it a try ) spicy rice with lamb!!

I've heard about this cart for years and how people believe it is better than halal guys in the city. It is located right in front of the Citi bank. I got a combo over nice with white sauce and little hot sauce for 6 bucks. The meat was tasty and well seasoned. The rice was not soggy and the salad was fresh. The only issue I had was the portion was small compared to other carts I've been go. It is good but it wasn't mind blowing, I still think the one in the city is the best. read more

Looking for cheap, fast and delicious Halal food? Well look no further, It's always on the South corner of 86th and 5 ave over by the Citibank and do not confuse it for the Halal cart in front of Chase. There is usually a line but do not let that deter you. For $5 I get the falafel over rice, lettuce, tomatoes and I always get extra white sauce but be careful of the hot sauce because it's Fing hot. Stop reading this review and just go... read more

I've been eating here for over 2 years. Afif has been a great host for my late night eating adventures.. it comes to the point he I don't even have to order!! I walk up and he already knows what I want. I've eaten halal all over the brooklyn and Manhattan and this is literally the best food truck you can find. There so good I see NYPD Highway patrol come from Staten Island just to see Afif. There's a right turn lane that acts as a parking lot for the customers. And the cops do not bother anyone. They got spicey rice, chicken and lamb always fresh and always ready to go. The Falafel is amazing and if you like hot sauce. These guys have it on lock down!!! Afif is there till 4 am daily. Great spot to eat late. read more

Middle Eastern Halal Food - Chicken over rice. With pita and a falafel. - Halal Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I love this one more than the one in the city. The rice is way better here. Lamb over rice with pita. Extra white sauce. The meat is juicy and the pita is soft. Stuff your face for $5. Can't beat that anywhere. If you haven't tried it get your ass over there now! (The one in front of Citibank not chase) read more

Too bad - this was a real disappointment. After ordering (there was one person in front of us), we waited a sum total of 19 minutes for 2 hot dogs, fries and 2 platters. That's a REALLY long time compared to your average halal cart and an eon if you are waiting with hungry children. I'm giving it 2 stars because the fries were freshly fried and thus tasty (albeit a bit bland because they managed to neglect to salt them after they were fried, a serious omission), but the rest was pretty darn awful. When I get a lamb gyro, I want those thinly sliced, juicy pieces that feel like mystery meat but taste ridiculously good. Not sure why, but this place chopped the meat up like ground beef after cooking it, and it was a total disappointment that they did. It just didn't work, all the juices were gone and the texture was gross. The chicken was no better. About an hour after we ate, we felt really bloated and nauseated. Needless to say, I'm surprised it has received such great reviews. We were terribly underwhelmed. And yes, we went to the one by the Citibank. read more

Man! This food was soo good! I'm sooooo skeptical about halal trucks! I tried before and I was slain on the toilet smh! Soo naturally I read every review trying to figure out exactly which truck it was. The reviews can be very confusing! Well this "lonely truck" was awesome! Lamb n chicken over rice white and red sauce! I ate it my bf didn't want any but later on when he had it, he himself said it was Heaven! && trust with the amount of halal he eats he should definitely know. This truck didn't have any fancy lights. Just basic, one guy solo inside right across from the pizza place! Don't judge a book by its cover because it was awesome! read more

Ok I've been a fan of this cart for a long time but last night ( and a few others time, but I chose to ignore) is the decline. The quality of the food and quantity has severely declined. I mean shoot I know they mince the hell out of the gyro/lamb to increase profits but damn it's getting really really sad. I thinking I had sand camouflaged as gyro meat last night and I even paid an extra dollar for meat. The guy working at night is one of the most unprofessional I've ever met, he just doesn't care about service. Regardless and the main focus is the decline...heh ownership, you gained success but don't forget once you start getting cheap customers will find a new place....like I will. read more

This is really the best lamb & chicken over rice w/ pita I have eaten in NYC. The foods served here puts the famous 53rd & 6th halal cart to shame. The lamb and chicken was so delicious. It was marinated well, and very tender. The rice really stood out the most. I have tried many halal carts, and most of the time they mess up on the rice part. But, the rice here was not mushy and seasoned well. The pita is yummy too! YUM! read more

Tasty meal for $5. They never fail me when I want something fast and cheap. Granted there are no seat, the chicken and rice with white, bbq, and hot sauce makes a dangerously good combo. Not to mention they have spicy rice which not all halal carts have. If you love spices, you have to try the spicy rice with your meal. I used to get scared because of the mystery meat that supposedly comes with cart food, but it's so good it's hard to say no. Actually, they just raised the price to $6, still you can't beat the price. read more

I tried the chicken and lamb with spicy rice and then falafel. There was so much meat and rice that I couldn't even finish half the portion of what was given to me! I had high expectations for them, but I am disappointed to say that they are nothing compared to halal guys. The food was good, but not amazing. I was also very disappointed with the small amount of white sauce I was given, which I didn't notice until I got home, expecting my chicken and lamb to be drenched with hot sauce... But sadly I only received a moderate amount. There was a small line forming when I arrived at about 8pm on a Friday night. However, it seems like there was only a line because the guy making the food was slow. Luckily, I didn't experience any racism like other yelpers have mentioned. I have to say, it was a bit nerve wrecking waiting on line, wondering if he was going to skip me. But I figured: hey! I'm wearing such a big jacket and taking so much room, there's no way he can miss me. I would definitely buy from them again if I was nearby. However, I would not order the falafel again, it was rock hard and cold. Tasted as if it had been sitting there for a few hours. read more
