    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.

    Adel's Famous Halal Food is one of the most well-known halal carts in New York City and has become…read morea popular stop for anyone looking to try classic street-style halal food. Located in Midtown, we walked up to a simple setup where the focus is on quick, flavorful platters rather than a sit-down dining experience. The biggest part of the experience is honestly the atmosphere around the cart, with the long lines and constant crowd showing how much hype has built around this spot. The cart is compact and functional, with the grill and prep area taking up most of the space, and the steady flow of customers moving through the line reflects its popularity as a late-night food destination. We ordered the classic chicken and lamb combo platter, which comes with rice, salad, pita, and their signature white sauce and hot sauce. The meat was well seasoned and had a good balance of savory flavors, with the lamb adding a richer taste compared to the chicken. The rice is also a big part of the dish, especially with the sauces mixed in, giving everything a more complete flavor. The hot sauce adds a nice kick, but it can get pretty spicy depending on how much you add. The portions are generous, and it is definitely the type of meal that feels filling without being overly complicated. The combination of grilled meat, rice, and sauces works well together, and it is easy to understand why it became such a popular option. It has that classic halal cart style where the appeal comes from simple ingredients done well rather than anything overly creative. The biggest downside is the wait. The line can get extremely long, sometimes stretching far beyond the cart, and depending on when you visit, you may be waiting a significant amount of time for something that is meant to be quick street food. The staff move efficiently and the line does go faster than expected, but it is still something to consider before coming. The turnover is fast enough that the wait does not feel endless, but visiting during off hours is probably the smarter move if you want to avoid the busiest periods. Adel's Famous Halal Food is a solid halal cart with flavorful food, generous portions, and a reputation that is easy to understand after trying it. The food itself is good and worth checking out, but it is not necessarily worth waiting an extremely long line for when there are many other halal spots around New York. It is a great stop if the wait is reasonable, offering a meal that feels both familiar and satisfying, and a classic street food experience that captures the energy of Midtown.

    Let me be upfront, I didn't wait in line or pay, so I'm only speaking on the food quality,…read morequantity, and taste. I also don't know what the prices were so I can't really comment on value. The quality was good and the quantity was exactly what you would expect. The container was filled all the way to the top with basically no room to wiggle. The food is definitely a step above what I've had in NYC so far in this category. The spicy rice is a must. The hot sauce is actually spicy so be careful with that. White sauce was good as well. I personally don't care for soggy fries and don't understand why that's a thing, but I seem to be alone on that because my whole group loved them. The meats are where this place really stands out. They're a level above some other spots I've tried. I had a gyro from another place that I would consider our "usual," and this meat was definitely a grade above that. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and would eat it again. There were some complaints about extra charges for extra white sauce, which apparently many other places don't do. I can't personally verify or validate that, but mentioning it since I heard it. My brother-in-law said they waited about 40 minutes and that's crazy to me. I would never wait that long for this type of food. I will never wait more than 10 minutes for a "rice over" dish in 2026 at any place. The novelty wore off in the early 2010s and my time is more valuable than that. But if someone brings it to me, I will absolutely devour it without hesitation.
