For one thing, it's such a bang for your buck. For $6, I got lamb and chicken over rice with cheese, hot sauce, and their white sauce. It's so much food too. Great tasting and fast service. Definitely a food truck to visit if you're craving that type of cuisine

The menu is simple and the items range from $4-5 for anything from a Chicken Tikka Masala plate with basmati rice and salad to saag paneer kati rolls. My mild (by request) chicken kati was supremely delicious - smoky, tender and not too many onions wrapped in a buttery, fried naan wrap. And for $4 it more than filled my lunch quota. Food comes out quick, the truck seems relatively clean and they got my order right. We really do all want to live on a yellow submarine (food truck). Yum!

Originally, I had brought my lunch. I usually eat a Kashi frozen entree for lunch, but I mistakenly brought one to work that had chicken in it. And since the beginning of the month, I vowed to stop eating meat. So naturally, I chucked my Kashi lunch, and headed here. The counter guy was super nice and was giving out samples of kati rolls. It is basically a thin Indian bread stuffed with a filling. I sampled the aloo (potato) roll. It was just OK. I have had better kati rolls. I ordered the vegetarian platter, which is $6, and I thought that wasn't a bad deal, until I saw what I was getting. I basically got some basmati rice, some garbanzo beans, mixed vegetables, salad (only lettuce and tomato), and a dessert (rasmalai).** I don't think any of the vegetables were fresh minus the salad. The mixed vegetables were clearly of the frozen variety. Nothing really tasted like anything. The only thing good about the meal was the achaar (pickles). If you have another option, I would day pass on this place. Well, I guess living is learning. And never trust a good deal, because likely, it is too good to be true! **The rasmalai had gone bad. It is made with milk and so naturally on a hot day like today, it was bound to spoil...

I realize this isn't the famous NY halal cart with over 3000 reviews. I never tried it so I can't…read morecompare. However, I can tell you that this place is probably just as amazing, without the long wait. Conveniently located near Times Square, I came here after spending an hour or so just taking in the scenery. The hustle and bustle made me want to just chill out and enjoy some bomb ass food. I got one of their most famous dishes, the chicken and lamb over rice. It's quite simple: chicken kabob, lamb shwarma, rice, lettuce, and their out of this world white sauce. The whole combo just mindf**ked me. I swear I was on such a food high after the first few bites that I just phased out everything around me. The meat is so deliciously juicy and well marinated. The rice is bursting with seasoning. The sauce just brings it all together in this magical David Blaine-like way that you can't possibly fathom how someone could come up with such a simple yet delectable creation. I give these guys major props. If you want to avoid the long lines at the 53rd & 6th Halal Cart, just come here and you won't be disappointed. Friendly guys cooking it all up too!

The lady who does the cooking is such a happy and sweet person it brightens my day to see her. As for the food, I'm a big fan of the Kati Rolls. (Pronounced kah-tee, as I recently learned.) They're cooked to order, on the classic griddled bread with piles of meat and sauce. So far the sweet chili chicken is my favorite. They also offer meat over rice, and NYC standards like hot dogs and Italian sausage, in case you're not feeling adventurous. Added bonus: They sell Thums Up cola (Mexican cokes are all the rage, but Indian cola is the next big thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thums_Up). In addition to delicious food, her prices are very reasonable too--kati rolls are 2 for $6. Which, is sort of a mixed blessing: good for the wallet, bad for the waist line.

I did not like their white sauce - it had that woody flavor you get from some hummus that I'm not a fan of. I asked for extra spicy, but their innocent red sauce just couldn't hold a flame. Their olives and pickles they add give a cool mediterranean feel, but were not good flavor or texture wise. Overall, I don't see why I'd eat here again when there's Kwik Meal and Royal Halal just steps away.

We ordered the Bro's Signature Combo, which came with their grilled chicken (for vegetarians/vegans, you can also substitute for Mushroom), som tum (or, you can go for larb chicken or larb mushroom), sticky rice (aka, Thai papaya salad; you can opt for jasmine rice), and choice of sauce (red, green or Padthai sauce). The chicken was juicy and had good flavor, and the papaya salad was fresh and a nice complement to the meal; sauces weren't necessary, as the chicken was flavorful on its own. Don't sleep on their Hot Choc-Style Thai Tea - this wasn't too sweet, and it was nice and creamy. Staff were friendly, and the food came out fresh; you can't miss the red truck!

I got everything with my son to go. The steamed jhol momos were the best for reheating add a bit of water so they do not dry out.

The gravy chicken over rice taste like halal chicken over rice without the white sauce. Pro tip: for fried momos you need to eat them when you buy them otherwise they will dry out or be limp when you reheat them. The best for reheating are the steamed momos.
