Let me tell you the sandwich was incredible!!! It's been so long since I've had authentic falafel that didn't taste like sand and these brought me back to my childhood tasting exactly like the ones I had overseas! I will definitely be back to try their other food but as for now I'm a happy customer !

They were excited to try it only to find pieces of hair in their food. Not a biased review because I was also excited to try their oxtail mac one day but after their experience, I think they need to re-evaluate their food standards. If you want to still try, I definitely recommend checking your food there in front of them before going away.

And the fries were crunchy and seasoned and I thought it was great, too. My Son had his old reliable that he loves: cowboy smash. He loves the fried onions. We love the way the patties are cooked with the right crunchyness of a perfect smash burger. If you like that, maybe you should check it out. Oh, I should also note that the people in the truck are really nice. Thank you!

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.

I got the chipotle BBQ turkey sandwich that comes with house chips…read more Sandwich overall was tasty. I was perhaps a third of the way through when I bit on a HUGE bone! Thankfully I didn't chip my tooth or anything. Also house chips come with a sandwich but to substitute to fries is $2 extra! A little pricey, I'd be ok with like $1. Plus the chips are very soft and tasted too charred/burnt. These are chips, not steaks. Lastly, there was like one spoonful of coleslaw on the sandwich. Literally I had a bite, and there was no more coleslaw on the sandwich.

Recently there seems to be more and more food carts/trucks that are showing up near Columbia…read moreUniversity. Most recently, I saw and ate food from Sandwich Bar Express. The truck was well designed with a rather expansive menu for a food truck. Being a new food truck I asked them what would be the best thing to order, then promptly (and foolishly) ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich. Although the seasoning on the crust of the chicken was good, there were a few other problems with the sandwich. The chicken meat seemed really dry and the crust itself was a bit darker than I would like. I did like that they included chips, but I'm partial to salt and vinegar. Some of the chips seemed like it was saltier than the others. For an accompanying side, I ordered sweet potato fries. The fries were unsalted, stuck together, and seemed a bit soggy (oil not hot enough?). Overall it seems to me that Sandwich Bar Express definitely has some issues to iron out. The pricepoint was a bit high for the quality of food that I was given. They should definitely cut down on their huge menu and focus on perfecting a few choice items.

I adore halal food. It's especially something that's close to my heart during Ramadan. 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.
