10/10 If you're…read morevisiting New York, this place is an absolute must try! I ordered the Chicken Platter, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The platter comes with perfectly seasoned chicken over rice, along with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. I got the famous white sauce and hot sauce on the side so I could add as much as I wanted, and both took the dish to the next level. The chicken was flavorful, tender, and paired perfectly with the rice. The portion was generous and incredibly filling, making it an excellent value. Everything tasted fresh, and I honestly enjoyed every bite. That said, it was so good I could probably eat two platters! The line was long, but don't let that discourage you it moved steadily and was absolutely worth the wait. Whether you're a local or just visiting NYC, this is one of those iconic spots you have to experience at least once. it!

I remember trying The Halal Guys 13 years ago when I last visited New York City. It was a long time…read moreago so I don't remember too much other then the long line, and the food being pretty solid and having large portions. Since this is a NYC staple and it's been so long, I knew I had to come again this trip. I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap as well as a beef platter. I thought the wrap was very good. Very saucy, and tasty, however, I just found the platter to be a bit bland. It almost felt like it was missing something. Also I think the portion sizes definitely got smaller. Overall it was a solid meal. I don't think I'll be rushing to come back, but I'm glad I was able to experience it again.

Found myself in Midtown West around 11pm with nothing open and a real craving, and Shawarma Bay…read morecame through. Half the spots nearby had already shut down or had lines I wasn't about to stand in, and this truck was right there, lit up and moving fast. Got the two-meat combo over rice. The guys inside don't waste time. I had my plate in a few minutes even with a couple people ahead of me. Chicken and beef both came out hot, and the rice underneath was fresh and fluffy. Ask for the extra spicy red if you want to suffer a little. Portions are big for the price. I walked away full and happy. Fries are the one thing I'd skip (they go soft quick), but with the meat and sauces all over the plate I didn't care. If you're out late and everything else is closed, this is the move. They open at 7:30 and stay open well into the night, which is exactly when you want them. I'll be back the next time I'm wandering around starving after midnight.

They open at 7:30; we were there just before 7pm, but a line started forming behind us after 10 mins or so. It was hot and L was drunk.. it seemed like an eternity. I heard them cooking and the smell was waffling outside but the truck was still not open at 7:30.. when they did finally open... we ordered the 2 meat combo platter and a beef chapli platter ...they still catered to some customers on the side before the people on the line. We tried a lil of the beef chapli a hr later. Salad was flavorful. Meat was nicely seasoned. Rice was soft and fluffy. I loved everything but didn't care for the fries. We got the white, green and hot sauce. The 2 meat combo was very tasty...even though we ate it 2 days later. I'd say this tasted much better than the other popular spots in the city. Will definitely come back in a few days to try their falafel too.

For $16 you get a ton of meat (shredded chicken or lamb+beef, or a combo with both ) served over rice, plus a couple of narrow slices of pita bread and tons of white sauce. Straightforward to the point service. Street Vendor Casual egalitarian Street Food kinda vibe. PRO TIP: (as others have said): Long lines here yes, but you can skip most of it if you just order ahead for pickup from GrubHub, as they have TWO carts here - a new cart dedicated for these online orders, and their original cart for walk-up orders with the longer line.

Pro tip: order from GrunHub to skip the lines, but be ready to forfeit a couple extra bucks. I ordered the combo plate, and they were super generous with the portions!

We were just looking for some tacos and stumbled upon this place and we're so glad we did! We're from the west coast and they surpassed any expectations we had. With the tortillas all fresh and made by hand, the grilled to perfection carne, and toppings of guacamole, salsa, cilantro, and onion all blended together so well. If you're in the area definitely put it on your agenda! There was a line but it goes quick and the food is worth the wait! It is a casual, standing only dining area but the whole concept makes sense. For a quick in-and-out taco "stand" but in restaurant form! If I'm ever back on East Coast I will be making another trip here!
