    In a city that has food trucks on every street... this is hands down the best one. I was told that if you are on Madison Ave, this is a must and I 100% agree. At lunchtime there's a long line but you can order ahead and pick up. If you aren't in a time crunch, go after 2. 62nd & Madison is in the heart of some of the city's best shopping and businesses, so you will see all types of people lined up to eat some of the best Mediterranean food around. It's so close to the park, you can walk over, grab a bench and have lunch outside on a nice day. Only open until 6:00 on weekdays and 5 on Saturday, plan your stop accordingly. Chicken Pita was fabulous! Tons of flavor. The warm pita was just crispy enough to hold the generous amount of fresh chicken, tomatoes, and onions with one of the best Tzatziki sauces on top. Mediterranean Chicken Pita is also stuffed with delicious grilled chicken breast, lettuce, tomato, onion, and adds olives, feta and a nice vinaigrette on top. Portions are big, but don't be surprised if you finish the whole thing because every bite is so good, you wont want to stop. Plenty of choices on the menu, if you haven't been, you must ty this.

    This is hands down the best food cart. I have tried numerous food carts. Tony's dragon grille is one the best I have tried. No wonder there is always a long line for the order. On weekday at around 1pm. I saw more than 10 teams ahead of me. Took about 20 minutes to order and 10 minutes to recieved the order. If you go during their peak time, be prepared to wait a while. Parking around there is not convinient. All the adjacent roads are for commercial parking only until 7pm. If you drive, you might have some hard time finding a parking. The ticket polices are very active in this neighborhood. (I got a ticket). I ordered 3 bowls, steak and chicken bowl, pork soulvaki and grilles shrimp greek salad. Rice- very flavorful and tasty. Rich in herb. soft. Portion is a lot. Meats- used to be bigger in portion.. Chicken- well cooked. Mix of dark and white meats. Very tender. Goes well with the white sauce. Steak- it was little dry without the sauce, but great with white sauce. Kind of lean meat. Seasoned well Veggie- very fresh. Loved greek salad with bit of citrus taste. Shrimp- nothing too special. Very tender Make sure to ask for the lemon sauce! Goes well with any meat

    Found a baby ROACH at the bottom of my rice bowl. And you know what that means? That means I didn't make this horrific discovery until *after* I made my way through all the food. That's right, I found this after I ate everything. To make matters worse I shared that bowl with my partner, who had never had Tony's before. Ironically we were even talking about how good the food was when suddenly I went still over the discovery. As if all of this wasn't enough, my experience in picking up the food was lackluster as well. I had ordered ahead for pickup since I came during the lunch hour on a weekday, and had a meeting to attend when I got back to work. In spite of this my order came out after my coworkers', who had stood in line. I didn't end up getting to eat the food since I got back to work when my meeting began, which was the whole reason I ended up sharing it later in the evening with my partner. Came here three times, never coming back again. I don't care how much we all know that NYC is crawling with roaches and rats - I should never see one in my food.

    There's tomatoes stuffed in my chicken, lettuce wrap, and I'm allergic.

    This place is great for lunch or dinner however, they do not listen. I come here on my break to get a chicken wrap with lettuce and onions. Every single time I have to head back to the location to return my meal due to the fact that they always place tomatoes and I'm allergic. I believe this is unacceptable because I specifically tell them I'm allergic and it seems like they don't care. I totally get it. I'm black on Madison Avenue where Tony dragon grille and his team are more attentive towards white customers. It's sad because I spent $15-$20 every day to get bullshit service. Listen, it is what it is for now on when I purchase I'm going to open chicken lettuce wrap in front of them. I don't want no surprises, especially if I'm allergic! Please do better!

    Headed over here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch in the neighborhood. Surprisingly open despite it not being the usual work crowd, with no line in front of the truck to order. Plenty of options to choose from here regarding meats, platters, sandwiches, salads, and the like. Settled on the Pork Souvlaki Pita ($9) and a Snapple ($2); ready within several minutes of placing the order. Pita is warm and soft, but toasted outside in order to keep firm over all the ingredients. Inside is a generous amount of chunky pork, tomatoes, and onions smothered in tzatziki sauce. Meat is really juicy and the tzatziki is enough to balance out the pita without being too soggy. Only complaint is that the spice level is lacking, so wish I had ordered a sauce as well (believe this is extra). Perfect place to grab a meal on the way to the park.

    Love these guys. The food is ALWAYS high quality and fresh and consistent. Honestly most brick and mortar restaurants can't even claim to be those three things all the time! Here's a funny story.... about 7 years ago, I started working in the area and kept seeing my coworkers eat from this Tony's truck. Dubious me said "street meat? On Madison Avenue?" I finally tried Tony's a few months after that and boy, did I kick myself for not trying it earlier. Easily the best food truck and definitely the tastiest lunch option in this area. It's not typically what you think of when a food truck is involved. The food is gourmet and the hygiene is impeccable. The seafood is fresh and wild caught. The chicken is perfectly cooked and hormone free. The lamb gyro is sliced to order. The arugula is firm and crisp and the rice is perfectly fluffy. In 7 years of eating here, I have not gotten sick even one time. Again, even brick and mortar restaurants can't live up to those standards. The most awesome thing about Tony's Dragon Grille (besides the food) is the service. Konstantinos and Vendy are always friendly, quick and efficient. These guys are the best. And if you're lucky, you'll see the famous Tony making magic on the grill.

    Tony Dragon's Grille is a staff favorite. We often order group lunch from Tony's and we even send our customers to the truck.

    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!

    The guys working the cart are genuinely some of the friendliest people you'll meet in midtown…read more Always smiling, always patient, even when the line is wrapped around the block. 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.

    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.

    Great food truck in the area. You'll find a abundance of lamb chicken over rice in the vicinity but…read morethis is one of those that are top tier and competes closely with the others. It's a must try and a go to if you enjoy the style as all in the area have their certain style. Love the lamb and chicken combo over rice. Hot, flavorful, fresh, and made to order. Great white sauce and hot sauce with a wonderful fresh salad that is full of ingredients. Love how the add the extra spice on top to top it off. Friendly and good service. I'd definitely come back.
