Come hungry because the portions are huge and reasonably priced for this area. $7.00 will get you lamb and chicken over rice, side salad and a soda. The only thing I don't recommend is a lamb gyro. Here's why and feel free to call me crazy but the lamb is chopped into small bits. When you get a gyro elsewhere the meat is in strips. It's a little messier with it being chopped and the meat isn't as tender either. That's all. Thanks for playing.

The other one is called Sahara and this one doesn't really have a name--it just says halal and has a bunch of pictures of food! I hate to do this but anytime, I take my health in my hand, and try street meat, I always subconsciously compare it to the cart on 53rd and 6th. Hands down, I think the 53rd and 6th cart has the best white sauce and rice around (well as far as street vendors go!) and thats saying a lot because I am a rice snob!. But this halal cart, gets a 5/5 for their lamb! its tasty, tender and cut into perfect portions. I am also pretty pleased with their white sauce. I am always surprised at how hot the hot sauce in these carts can be. Don't get me wrong, I am a practical fire eater so I can appreciate the heat, but even I would say that it must be used in moderation. While this isn't the hottest hot sauce I've tried, (once again--that honor goes to 53rd and 6th}, it is definitely in the running. If you're not one who enjoys the taste of fire, I'd advise you to skip the hot sauce. My main gripe is that the rice is a bit more grainy than I'm used to, but it isn't a dealbreaker. Anyway, I'm accustomed to having pita with my lamb over rice, but since that is not automatically included with this platter, I had to ask for it. Instead of just cutting the pita into quarters and putting it in the tray like I expected, he threw it on the grill, lightly doused it in white suace, warmed it up, cut it up into slivers, put it on top of the rice and finished it off with more of that adductive white sauce! Perfection! Needless to say, i was pleased! IDK if he charged me an extra .50 cents because I asked for the pita, but all this yummy goodness, with a complimentary soda, came out to only $6.50. My favorite thing about the cart though is that its sooo close to home! It is located at the Flatbush junction right in front of the Triangle Junction or as most people know it, the Target mall, so I'm sure it is very convenient for many people. Whenever I have the hankering for a lamb platter, which is getting to be pretty often!, I'm glad that I do not have to trek to the city anymore--this cart is a much appreciated and quite delicious alternative for my usual haunts: 28th and madison or 53rd and 6th!

Secondly Halal Food here is the Bomb! This is one of my Goto spots for authentic cheap and fantastic Quality food... Newbe Yelpers please take note. If you are in the Brooklyn Area you can catch the B44, B103 Busses or take the 2 or 5 Train last stop to BK College and walk to the Food Trucks. They are 2 of them on the corner. For people who drive you can park in the Target Parking lot in the back. If you arrive early from 8am-10am you'll pay only $7 for the Day or you can just Park around Avenue H or anywhere else that isn't Metered. There is Bike Racks available for people who ride Bikes as well and it's not too far walking Distance for people who live or attend school (Brooklyn College Midwood High School) within the area. So in closing I'll catch you all later let me go rest and preserve my stomach for tonight. You may see me in Fort Greene Park slope or East Flatbush eating elsewhere.

They're open all night and there is ALWAYS a line, even on the coldest of nights- which is a testament to the food. The chicken and rice with salad and pita is bomb af with red, white& bbq sauce- that's my jam. The lamb is also delicious, I highly recommend ordering the mixed grill (half chicken/half lamb) and trying both, it's insane how good it is. I could eat it all day, every day. I'm off red meat or else it would be the only thing I order from here. Also, the falafel is made to order, so obv it's beyond fresh, the spices and texture are perfection, it is literally the best falafel in the US- chickpeas, no favva beans here- thank god! Be sure to ask for a side of tahini or white sauce to go with it bc it's not automatically included. You have to try this place if you haven't already- and if ur reading reviews, I'd say it's safe to presume you're considering it. I've spent over a month in Lebanon I know my halal. Trust. No other platters style halal compares. The guys who work there are super nice and have even brought my order to my car so I wouldn't have to wait and freeze ass off while it was being made.

I'm going to come right out and say it…read moreand definitely declare, that until I'm proven otherwise, this is currently the title holder for my choice of the elusive "Best In the City", and thus most likely best in the known universe halal cart. Brought here initially by a NYMag piece highlighting the work of an apparently indisputably credible Halal-focused IG account @thehalalguysguy, which listed this at the number one spot in its listicles rankings. I would have otherwise had no clue to it's greatness as it appears as anonymous and instinct as any other of the countless halal carts to be found in any corner of the city. I've also never seen any significant line formed other than one I would expect at any of the other nearby carts due to it's location on the outlying periphery of Union Square and right outside an NYU dorm. It's certainly nothing even close to some of the inconceivably long lines you see at some of the Tik Tok viral spots or even the original Halal Guys cart in midtown. That should serve as yet another example of how unjust the world is, because if quality was the true measure the line here should be dwarfing them many times over! The food here has done nothing less than redefine my whole concept of what halal can be, which is nothing short of miraculous since I've been consistently consuming it for the better part of my now over two full decades in the city. Both the wonderfully gamey and juicy lamb (always my preferred protein where halal is concerned) and the deeply and vibrantly red hued, and crucially just as juicy chicken (unfortunately dessert-dry chicken is more often than not the case at your average cart) are consistently both perfectly seasoned and cooked to a smokey and caramelized unctuousness on the griddled straight off the spit. The sauces likewise shine many levels above those found elsewhere, with a wonderfully zestier and lighter version of the default white sauce, and the classic red hot sauce and the rarer green version, which both pack some serious heat, but also much more depth of flavor than usual. When you select a gyro, as I often do here you are rewarded with a more compact more densely rolled sandwich than usual, in a slightly thinner pita that normal, slightly more closely resembling a burrito than usual. It's also packed with wonderfully crisp and fresh veggies which are likewise a cut above the rest. When you select a platter you are presented with the usual components in a delightfully new fashion. He seems to be an innovator in a method that happily seems to be spreading wider in which he chops the accompanying pita into numerous small triangles which he tops over the platter in two consecutive layers topping the food with one layer, of pita covering that with a layer of sauces, topping again with the second chopped pita layer and saucing again. The process results in an aseptically striking array as well as a delightful texture achieved by the layering and saucing process, nothing short than brilliantly delicious! It's details like this that solidifies the carts iconic and singular status. It's only that much further reinforced by the proprietor Farook himself however. A true gentleman as well as a culinary genius with the sweetest and gracious demeanor and eyes as soulful as you will ever encounter, he will melt your heart as much as he'll wow your tastebuds and blow your mind. This man deserves a spot in the NYC food legends Mount Rushmore right there next to the late great Dom Demarco as he's just as responsible for elevating the beloved everyman cuisine that is the heart and soul of the city and elevating it to nothing less than high art.

And nothing…read moresatisfies my craving for halal chicken and rice, after 14 hours of not eating, like quality halal cart grub. Living in Sheepshead Bay at the moment, there aren't many options to choose from... at all. I *could* drive all the way to Bay Ridge for the halal carts on 86th St. and 5th Ave. But that's a 15 min drive I'd rather not take - especially when I'm home in my jammies. But I do live in Sheepshead Bay, and when my ingenious boyfriend brought up the fact that he saw a halal cart on Sheepshead Bay Rd, I was *driven*, at 11pm, to go try some. Well, here's the verdict... What the heck just happened?! FIRST of all, the servings are pathetic. For $5, I got HALF the portions of the halal cart food I get in the city for $6! And in a lower-middle class neighborhood like Sheepshead Bay, that most definitely shouldn't be the case. SECOND, the hot sauce isn't hot at all. Halal carts are known for their awesome hot sauce, and this guy just seems like he poured some Franks Red Hot over my order of chicken and rice. THIRD, the white sauce - which I normally like a LOT of - is completely flavorless! This is, by far, the worst halal food from a halal cart that I've ever had. Not only would I never venture back here, but I advise anyone looking for late-night halal, to venture as far away from Sheepshead Bay as you can. There are no decent halal trucks here. Especially not XPL. So here I sit, in my bedroom in Sheepshead Bay, completely starving, because the 7 spoonfuls of tasteless halal food from this cart, couldn't have hit the spot LESS. I only give it 2 stars because it hasn't *yet* given me food poisoning - if that ends up happening, I'll lower my rating to 1 star. So disappointed.

obviously I'm scoring on the scale here, the food cart scale. Here's my biased grading system:…read more one star: major stomach cramps, vomiting and/or diarrhea two stars: unidentifiable meat pieces, overcooked/dry rice, mild upset stomach three stars: everything went ok, nothing to write home about four star: well balanced meats, fresh veggies, flavorful rice, good proprietor attitude five stars: must be pretty incredible This cart has two options - chicken and lamb. That is it. Oh, there are colorful photos of falafels, etc. Don't be fooled - they don't make them. But as far as chicken and lamb go - they are excellent. I am not sure how Lisa, the previous reviewer, feels cheated with a huge helping of rice, veggies and chicken for $5 but this lower-middle class Sheepshead Bay resident feels the price is fair for well made, fresh, quality food. I don't have it for a week - I crave it. There are two other things going fo this cart - 1. it's open 24 hours a day (guys working in shifts). 2. great attitude - 'a little white sauce, lots of red sauce and just a splash of green sauce, and no peppers in the veggies and just a couple of pieces of chicken and the rest is lamb" "No problem" Respectful, hard-working people. South Brooklyn rules !
