Note to tourists: this is one of the better value food trucks in the area. I ordered chicken and lamb over salad, and the lamb was especially flavorful. Loved the addition of a falafel, but personally tossed the fries and omitted white sauce so I can't speak on that. It was about a five minute wait since three people ordered ahead of me. Pay in cash, but card is available as an option. As of July 2026, platters and salads are $10, while sandwiches are $9. read more

Mido’s Halal Food - Combo chicken and lamb over salad - Food Trucks Near Me - New York, New York

In a city filled with great Halal carts, Mido's stands above them all! I stumbled upon this cart one day just looking for a quick bite, and I found myself having the best Halal cart experience in the city. First of all, just talking about the food. It is amazing! I got the combo platter over rice, with both of the meat options. Lamb and chicken were extremely tender, juicy, and flavorful. When paired with their deliciously creamy white sauce and fluffy rice, it was the perfect bite. I can confidently say this is among the best Halal food I've had in the city. The best part, though, is given how good it is, the line is very manageable. There was essentially no line when we arrived. We were greeted by super friendly staff, which just led to an amazing Halal experience I could not recommend enough! read more

got a combo plate (lamb & chicken) over rice for $10. portion was generous. it came w fries, some lettuce & tomato, a slice of pickle, a small falafel, & red & white sauces. marinade was flavorful (i'd say it tasted like al pastor, but it's rly the other way around). lamb wasn't lamb-y at all. falafel was good too, you could taste the herbs. (i didn't care for the rice so i'll get a salad plate next time, but that's just me.) went 10:15am on a weekday, no line at all read more

Mido’s Halal Food - lamb & chicken combo - Food Trucks Near Me - New York, New York

Heard so much about this halal spot so was excited to check it out! I ordered takeout so can only comment on the food itself - I got the combo over rice. Really enjoyed the lamb, fries and sauces were both great, and I appreciated how they included more fresh ingredients than other carts I've been to (lettuce, tomato, pickles, jalapeño). Might not be my favourite halal spot in the city, but very, very solid and I'll definitely be ordering from here again. read more

How can you complain about a $9 plate?! Comes with a lot of food for being nearby the tourist area. Make sure you pay cash. Man was generous and fed you like your own. Treat a bruttha with respect he will deliver food with respect. Food was flavorful even when I took it home an hour later. There was sooooo much food, the lid could not close! Talk about cheap Chinese takeout levels. We love that. And if you're in 6th ave, def stop by here! read more

Convenient location, a very generous serving of food. Not much to complain about, and a lot to rave about. Probably one of the few places on this side of town that you can get lamb/chicken and delicious rice for under $10. read more

Mido’s Halal Food - Food Trucks Near Me - New York, New York

Come on man, it's not that complicated. I've been here twice and so far there's always a mix up. First time I asked for one chicken and one lamb-- I get both chicken. Second time I say two salads-- I get two rices . There are too many carts to put up with this. I think what rubbed me wrong the most was the guy who's taking my order's demeanor. It's kinda like a "yeah, ok" dismissive look. Anywho-- The food is mid. Not bad not great. There's no flavor from the chicken itself, so relies on the sauces and the rice is plain. Honestly the best part about this cart is the location. P.S. The previous review is for the location on 59th and 9th. Same franchise, different chefs I guess. read more

I have to say, lived up to the hype. Easily matches up well with the famous Adele's Halal cart by Radio City. Easily the best halal cart in the neighborhood. I have no complaints or no notes. May very well be my new regular spot. One of the few places that still does spicy rice and has actual shawarma. There was no line and I got my food pretty quick. He cooked the meat on the grill and asked me which veggies I wanted in my salad. The latter being a nice touch. I look forward to coming back here. read more

Mido’s Halal Food - Food Trucks Near Me - New York, New York

Great food - no wait. Found this cart from TheHalalGuysGuy on Instagram, and we had this ranked as his top halal cart in the city. Even higher than Adel's! I've really only had halal food from Adel's that's been memorable (not from NYC so not many chances to eat this) I pulled up and there had to have been maybe one person in front of me. Maybe a 10 minute wait since they whipped up a batch of lamb on the grill. However, food was amazing. They have a really nice salad with pickles, jalapeño, and raw onions that I personally think went well with the food. It also comes with a few fries which I thought was a plus don't recall Adel's doing that. The portion was great for $9. The rice was NOT AS SALTY as Adel's which was my biggest complaint. Had flavor for sure with the spices and sauce on it. The lamb though man. Star of the show - so tender and seasoned. Every bite juicy and tasty and those juices would mix with the rice and the sauce sheesh. The red sauce is pretty spicy I don't think it's as spicy as Adel's but it's got a lot of kick still. Love this cart and got 2 plates again to take home on the flight back! No need to wait and this is fresh. The greens are FRESH all green no white lettuce in there or limp lettuce. The meat tender flavorful. This is my cart of choice read more

Mido’s Halal Food - Lamb Plate over Rice with White and some Red sauce - Food Trucks Near Me - New York, New York

Our local friends, who used to be regulars at this halal cart when they lived nearby, introduced us to this spot. After a late night out at bars, the food was exactly what we needed, and it was so good that we returned a few evenings later for dinner following a Broadway show. The combo plates over rice were incredibly delicious. We opted for a less spicy version, but even that was quite spicy for our taste. Nonetheless, the flavors were fantastic, making it a great choice for a satisfying meal. read more

Mido’s Halal Food - Combo over rice without tomatoes - Food Trucks Near Me - New York, New York

So very good, great crew making food. Reluctant to post since it's getting crowded lately...

Possibly the best Cart in NY! Fresh, and delicious is the name of the game here. Top notch,QUALITY food. With the amount of Halal carts from which I have consumed food, I can comfortably say that I'm an expert in this category. From the hype days of 53rd and sixth, to Sammy's, and now Adel's. BUT in my humble opinion, Mido's tops them all. The food is QUALITY! Deliciously spiced chicken and Gyro. Done to perfection. The veggies, fresh and crisp, and the rice! Wow! The most delicious yellow rice I've ever had. EVER! The spicy rice isn't spicy per say, but more of a "spiced" rice. It has just a hint of sweetness to it as well. Cinnamon maybe? It's DELICIOUS! The lamb is softer than the big chewy pieces from the other carts. It melts in your mouth, and the chucken is perftly juicy and delicious. The white sauce is awesome, and the hot sauce, HOT! The fries are the battered kind, perfectly crisp. This cart is So slept on. When I went, there was no line. I ordered and waited about 10 minutes for them to make the food. Loved knowing it was put on the grill fresh. The guys working were so nice, and kind! The service for me, goes a long way. Especially since we drive over an hour from Flushing. Passing many other places just for Mido's food. It's SO worth it in my opinion. The combo over rice is $9, and the pita sandwich is $8. The sandwich was fighting for its life to close lol. We ate the sandwich before we had a chance to take a pic lol. This is the place that deserves the hype of the other carts. Will I be sad waiting in line? Sure. But with what this cart has, I will be back and wait. SO worth the drive for this gem! Keep up the good work guys. PS. PLEASE open up a cart in Queens. Sunnyside, Woodside, Flushing read more

Solid halal cart! I came on a Wednesday evening after work, and the service was pretty quick - maybe an 8 minute wait to get my food (fast especially when compared to the very famous Adel's). I got the lamb and chicken rice combo for $9, and enjoyed the french fries that were included. I enjoyed the meat and thought everything was very flavorful. Their red sauce is magnitudes LESS spicy than Adel's. I got a normal amount and definitely wish I asked for extra. Given the reduced wait time (especially compared to Adel's) I'd definitely come back again! read more

Came here around 8:30 pm on a weekday and there was a continuous stream of people the entire time. It probably took me around 15 mins for my order, which was mixed combo over rice. The only sauce I requested was white sauce. And they do give a lot of white sauce - so if you have certain preference of how much you want, I suggest letting them know before hand! read more

Mido’s Halal Food - lamb over rice - Food Trucks Near Me - New York, New York

Residential halal cart on 6th between 18th & 19th. Good prices and carefully made food that is better than mid despite the name. I had the lamb & chicken combo platter ($9) which was piled with 2 entire meals worth of food. It had spicy rice that wasn't very spicy, lettuce, tomato, onion, lamb, chicken, fries, and white sauce. The fries were the star because they were shockingly crisp, coated, and fresh like old prestige diner fries. The meat was tender and fresh too. I wouldn't seek it out, but it's a high value play if I'm in the area. I liked everything I had. read more

Mido’s Halal Food - Lamb/chicken combination platter - Food Trucks Near Me - New York, New York

An excellent meat over rice halal platter. The sauce is basically mayo. Which is kind of nasty but also kind of awesome. The meat is tender and powerfully seasoned. The rice is toothy and aromatic. The dudes are fast and friendly. It's an halal cart. Pretty similar to others. I like that they throw some fries in there to mix it up. read more

New top halal spot on my list! The people are super friendly and nice and there is usually a very short wait! I got the combo and they give you so so much meat on top of flavorful rice and delicious sauces (+ fresh salad and some fries) I really loved this place and will come back for more halal food! read more

I heard good things about this halal cart so I decided to try it out. They are friendly and really pack in the food. I got two meals from my chicken over rice. There are two types of rice to choose from, yellow and spicy (it's not hot spicy though). A platter also includes a few fries thrown on top, which I enjoyed. The food is pretty good, better than the average cart, but not my favorite. The chicken pieces are a bit dry to me. A platter when I went was $9. read more

First halal cart experience after a concert and wow... the food slapped. It was hot, spicy, and so good that I demolished it in under 5 minutes once I got home. The flavors hit perfectly after a long night out, and the service was just as great--everyone working the cart was super nice and welcoming. Honestly, 10/10 late-night bite." P.S I am vegetarian so for the falafel over rice read more

Went to this halal cart because of u/thehalalguysguy and his new website www.overrice.nyc which gives halal carts around the city a score out of 10. Mido's was highly rated. It was solid with basically no wait. I really enjoyed the chicken here because it wasn't minced up and had a good texture. The mixed plate came with salad and some fries. It was loaded with white sauce. For $9, this is a filling and tasty meal. This is worth to try this if you're in the area. Theres nowhere to sit, so people are eating their food standing or leaning against the building. read more

Damn. Literally the best tasting halal cart in the city and nobody knows about it. All platters come with fries instead of pita. Combo comes with falafel as well.

Mido’s Halal Food - Lamb over rice! There's also French fries inside - Food Trucks Near Me - New York, New York

Followed the recommendation of halalguysguy and ate here ("here" in this case, is the Mido's cart at 58th and 9th near Columbus Circle). Ordered the chicken over rice for my husband and falafel over rice for me, but was told "no falafel today." Slightly disappointed, and made that two chickens over rice. Slightly disappointed, that is, until I got these home -- absolutely fabulous, and certainly one of the best halal cart meals I've ever had. Really enjoyed the combo of salad, pickled, jalapeños. Chicken was delicious. There wasn't a long wait -- a few folks ahead of me, but the food came out fast. Friendly service. Will return for lamb and/or falafel, for sure. read more

SO good! I had the lamb over rice and a falafel gyro, both with white & red sauce. The spice level was perfect for me, but a little too much for my girlfriend. The falafel was nice and crispy and tasted great - quality gyro! The lamb over rice was amazing also and a generous well-sized portion. The rice & lamb were each seasoned so well. After having only tried The Halal Guys' brick &, mortar before this, the overall quality, flavor, and seasoning from Mido's was waaay superior and next level! Highly recommend. There was no line and received my food in a very reasonable time. The guys seemed nice. Would definitely come back. read more

Chicken over Rice, thats all you need with the extra sauce. American portions are huge so its basically 2 for the price of 1 meal, that didnt stop me gorging on that food stood up in the middle of flatiron. next to columbus circle so its good after a day a central park, would 100% take it over any other meal I had in NY lowkey. service is nice, server is very attentive to what you want a triple checks before a modification like extra sauce. bring a napkin its a little messy when your engorging yourself in food heaven read more

Two years ago I made a Yelp review for this Halal truck. Two years later I wanted to come back and express my disappointment that Yelp still does not allow me to give more than 5 stars, because Mido's deserves it. In the last 2 years I would estimate I have had over 100 orders of chicken of rice from this truck and I am confident they are the best in the COUNTRY. Do you want to know why I feel this way? Because of the following Better quality meat than anyone else Bigger portions than anyone else Better seasoning than anyone else Better pricing than anyone else ($9 chicken over rice, $1 soda) Are you still reading? Better salad than anyone else Better service than anyone else Piping hot food every single time The list goes on Midos has one problem. One problem that was changed my life for the worse. I no longer enjoy Halal food that isn't made by them. Nothing comes close. Nothing compares. Don't over think it, Midos is more than a food truck. Earth is 4.5 billion years old, humans have been around 300,000 years, and you're telling me I just so happen to be lucky enough to be alive at the same time Midos has their food truck parked outside? This isn't luck, this isn't a coincidence, this is bigger than that. read more

I've gotten sick from this place twice. One time when I got it delivered from Uber Eats and one time just now when I picked it up in-person. The guy handling the raw chicken packages the food after it's cooked and he cross contaminated the food. It tastes great but not worth the health risk read more

I love the Lamb & Chicken combo with red rice , white sauce & hot sauce. It also had some salad in it as well. I saw some people said there were French fries in theirs so I'll have to ask for some next time. Many of the Halah trucks had the yellow rice but this location also has the red rice. Plan on going back soon while in NYC. read more

Woowww, I happened to walk by this Halal cart, and it was one of the best Halal food I ever had!!!!! I got the Combo Plate with chicken and Lamb for only $6 (A steal compared to Halal Guys and Adel's. This place is so much cheaper). The portions were big, good enough to serve 2 meals. The meats (chicken & lamb) were fresh. The salad had Olives in it, which was delicious! There were also fries in my platter. White sauce and Red Sauce were on point. Another plus is that this cart was open for business while others weren't or had restricted hours.I got here at 12PM, while another cart was still not open. This was definitely a BIG discovery for me. Don't go to Halal Guys. You can read my negative reviews on that cart. Go to Mido's Halal Food instead! read more
