The area is swamped with Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Pakistani and indian food and shops, and if you are out with a family, this may not be the place to go as there is absolutely no seating in there. This is strictly a take out place. The food is delicious, specially the chicken kababs. Their Haleem and Nihari also is probably the best in the area. The first time, I just walked in by accident just to see what this place was. After having a conversation with their main chef, he tempted me to try their Haleem as a taste test and the rest is history. From there on, whenever I am in Jackson heights, I pick up food from here. The cuisine and style is mostly from Karachi, the spice level is a bit on the higher side, but if you really want to exercise your taste buds, this is the place to go. Downside: Parking is tough in that neighborhood as it is so crowded. You may have to circle around to find parking at a bit distant.

We did a Queens food crawl of five restaurants and this was one of them. In fact, it was probably…read moremy favorite one. When you're the only person who looks like you in the place and you're surrounded by brown people speaking other languages, you've likely found an authentic place with great food. Ittadi was definitely that place. They have a huge buffet of food, TONS of options, but you can also tell the food is fresh. And the place was so busy that you know the food didn't sit long and was refreshed often. We tried the coconut samosa, which was large in size. It was the perfect combo of savory and sweet. We also had the egg chop, which is a hard boiled egg covered in spicy mashed potatoes and fried in a crispy breadcrumb coating. It was super spicy (in a good way) and delish. It came with a side of onions and greenery. We also had the haleem, which is a comfort dish, made of lentils. It was so warm and filling. Absolutely delicious. The employees/owners were so kind. They were really invested in us liking our food. When we didn't eat everything, they were concerned, but we told them we were on a food crawl and had to save space, otherwise we would have devoured everything. Again, this was my favorite place of the whole crawl, and I would make the trek back over to Queens just for this food.

I moved out of NYC at the end of 2019, but I do find myself in the area from time to time. I always make a point to come visit this cart whenever possible, even if it involves a 40 minute ride on the Q10. Yes, it's that good. I like to get the platter combo with half chicken, half lamb, extra white sauce, light hot sauce. Pita on the side. I love this type of food, and have had it from many different spots all over the country, some mom n pop, some chains. This is BY FAR my faveourite one. I tell everyone about it, if you are anywhere near this cart you absolutely must go! What my stars mean: 5 is outstanding, a must-experience, someplace I would bring/recommend to a tourist 4 is great, someplace I would love to go back to again and again. Backup options to bring/recommend to a tourist 3 is good. Someplace I would return to if in the area. I probably wouldn't recommend to a tourist, but possibly to a local. 2 is ok but only because it is either cheap or convenient. 1 means I would not return

So I usually hit up the Hamza & Madina cart located diagonally across Hillside/Little Neck (parked…read moreright in front of the CVS) but thought to give the Sahara cart a try after a few years. I have to say I was pleased with the decision! My usual order at a halal cart is the combo (chicken & lamb) over rice so I opted to stick with that. I was asked if I wanted onion chopped & mixed in so I opted to do that. Good choice, I must say. It added a nice punch of flavor but without being overpowering. I think I prefer the rice and the lamb here over what the other local carts offer. The rice was nice and moist, but without being too greasy, and the lamb was flavorful without being overly salty, as is often the case at the Hamza cart. Overall, I found the platter to be well portioned, high in quality, and satisfying but without making me feel gross afterwards. I've got to say that I will be coming back here again soon and I may even elevate them above the Hamza cart if both carts maintain their recent levels of quality.

Brother... you want that good street meat? Get your mind out…read moreof the gutter..get with this halal street cart. Now, listen, hillside avenue has long been adorned with a plethora of halal and the like, even this intersection has three or four spots alone; that being said, for years I've been coming only to Sahara halal cart by the subway... with good reason. This guy is surely the best of the three on this intersection if not all of hillside, damn straight. Tonight was the first time in 10 years since I've been going that I checked yelp, sure enough, here is my review. This cart has always been the best and with his track record I'm sure he will reign supreme for years to come. Approach this cart with an appetite! No matter what time you're hungry (tonight I got there a little after midnight) When I walked up, he of course had a couple fellas ordering food at the same time I was there. $5... that's right, $5-$7 will get you a full and delicious container of halal, be it chicken over rice, lamb gyro, or a combo; all of it comes with white sauce hot sauce and salad. Throw him a tip for sure, it's bangin' food at an awesome price. My normal order here is either chicken over rice with extra white sauce and a touch of hot sauce with pita slices (hold the salad) or I get the combo of gyro lamb and chicken over rice (still no damn salad). I always get a lot of white sauce as it's pretty much the best thing ever! I never get pepper and onion like some cats cuz... well... why ruin a good thing? I like pepper and onion, it's wonderful, but not on this, I like it as pure as possible; It's like cocaine, and just as addicting. You don't even need the hot sauce as it can take away from how amazing this thing taste (an I'm normally a hot sauce fiend!) I clearly love this cart and hit it any and every time I visit my friend or just happen to be in the area. You will too, believe me. A quick three cart comparison at this location will tell you all you need to know, the guy directly across hillside ave is okay, but way too spicy (I like spicy, but this just isn't the time for this kind of heat.) The guy diagonally across Hillside and Littleneck is the second best of the intersection and quite tasty as well, but nobody, and I mean nobody, is as good as my boy here at Sahara! I feel bad for anyone walking into subway for not experiencing this guys food cart, or hell even subway since this cart is far superior with their four options. I'd really like to try the kofta but I can't resist my long time favorite. I'm almost glad I live nowhere near hear or I'd get this way too often, it's gosh darn incredible, and superior to those famous halal brothers in manhattan. Please do yourself a favor and stop at this guys cart. Call me up, maybe I'll drive the 40-50 minutes just to grab a piece of heaven and chill.
