The Good: Still like what it used to taste like from what I can remember. Hits the spot every time!…read more The Bad: Adel's is a fierce competitor a few blocks down with a long line. BUT, imho Adel's doesn't really taste as good as the original Halal Guys in terms of flavor and fragrance. The chicken from Adel's is in bigger chunks and some argue is more tender, but the flavor is definitely not close. Also, it's important that it comes with lettuce, tomatoes and a little onion to balance everything out. Finally, You must get both the spicy red and white sauce together to make it all come together! The Ugly: The smell is addictive, so if you walk by, it's hard to resist, even if you've just eaten a nice meal somewhere else. We couldn't resist. Gotta hit the gym hard for the next few days!

And that line is no joke. You will wait. Plan accordingly. Here's my dilemma: every single time I eat here, my stomach lets me know about it later. Without fail. I've tried adjusting the hot sauce, going easy on portions... doesn't matter. Something about this food and my digestive system just don't agree. At this point I have to accept that it's probably not for me. So why do I keep coming back? Because at 2 AM after a late night, when everything else is closed and you're starving in Times Square, that platter of chicken and rice over white sauce smells like salvation. They're the only game in town at that hour, and honestly, in the moment, it hits. It's the next morning I regret it. If your stomach handles it better than mine, you'll probably love it. The food is tasty and the portions are huge for the price. I just wish I could enjoy it without paying for it twice.

We came right at opening (around 7:30pm on a weekday), and there were already a couple people waiting for it to open. Luckily we didn't have to wait too long to place our order, and our meal was made fresh to order (but was still ready quick). I'm not typically a food truck person, but I was impressed and enjoyed the meal. Of the two proteins, I preferred the chicken. The extra hot sauce had a great level of heat, too!

I do think they do as good of a job managing it as possible, but it is still quite the long line. If you do decide to wait in the line, I recommend sending a friend over to Magnolia Bakery to get you a treat while you pass the time. Overall, the lamb and chicken were extremely tender and flavorful. The sauce and rice were great as well, complementing them perfectly. The service is very efficient, and they do have a few cards set up to maximize the efficiency. It was great, and I'd say it's worth trying if the line is short! Otherwise, I would pivot to another nearby great option that you can easily find.

Adel's Famous Halal Food definitely lived up to the hype. Be prepared to wait--lines can stretch down the block, especially late at night--but the food is worth the patience. We ordered the Mixed Chicken and Lamb Over Spicy Rice along with a Lamb Gyro Sandwich. The platter was massive, piled high with tender chicken and lamb, flavorful spicy rice, fresh salad, and a generous drizzle of their signature white and red sauces. Every bite was packed with flavor, with the perfectly seasoned meat and spicy rice creating the ideal combination. The portions were easily enough to share, making it an incredible value for the price. The Lamb Gyro Sandwich was equally impressive. Stuffed with juicy lamb, crisp lettuce, fresh vegetables, and creamy sauce wrapped in warm pita bread, it was simple but incredibly satisfying. The meat was flavorful and well-seasoned, while the fresh toppings added the perfect balance. The atmosphere adds to the experience as well--watching the crew work nonstop on the grill, serving a constant stream of customers under the bright city lights, makes it feel like a true New York food adventure. If you're visiting NYC and looking for a late-night meal or one of the city's most iconic halal food experiences, Adel's Famous Halal Food is a must-try. Huge portions, bold flavors, and an authentic street-food vibe make it one of the best halal carts in Manhattan.
