Whether you're in the mood for something warm and comforting or fresh and flavorful, there's something for everyone. The staff is super friendly and the food comes out incredibly quick and hot. We love coming here for a nice lunch date Definitely a great spot to check out when you're craving ramen and sushi in NYC!

Besides Milos, I never expected Hudson Yards to have such a fantastic Mediterranean restaurant!…read more The Dip Tower was definitely the MVP. Every single dip was so delicious I wanted to take some home. The layers of flavor were amazing, and it was impossible to stop eating it with the freshly baked pita! The Yellowtail was rather ordinary. Although it contained a lot of spices, the fishy taste was still noticeable, so I wouldn't recommend it. The other dishes--North African eggs, steak, and Brussels sprouts--were just okay. The biggest surprise was the dessert--Lemon Frozen Yogurt! It was so delicious I wanted another serving!! The acidity was just right, refreshing without being too sweet. A bite after the meal was incredibly soothing. I must say, Mediterranean people really know how to make yogurt; they can make even a simple frozen yogurt look amazing.

A lively, upscale-casual…read moreMediterranean restaurant in a somewhat unexpected location, but they more than make up for it with atmosphere, energy, and some seriously memorable dishes. Not every plate was a hit, but the standouts were SO good that we'd absolutely return. We made a 6:30 PM Saturday reservation to celebrate our sixth wedding anniversary. I'll admit, the location initially threw me off. It has a somewhat corporate feel, tucked between buildings near the Lincoln Tunnel Expressway on Manhattan's West Side. But once you're there, the buzzing patio and lively atmosphere win you over. Great for date night, dinner with friends, business meals, large groups, or a pre-event meal. A wide age range and a crowd that feels like it's hitting on all cylinders. Bonus points for a thoughtful anniversary card waiting for us when we sat down. Such a sweet touch! We skipped cocktails after a full afternoon of drinking, but more than made up for it with the food. The menu is designed for sharing. What we ordered: * Fattoush salad | 3/5: A creative spin on the classic, topped with pita, thinly sliced Honeycrisp apples, and candied pecans. The apples and especially the pecans overwhelmed the dish for me. I'd love to see more vegetables and fewer sweet toppings. Prefer a traditional fattoush, but this was fine. Need 1/4 the amount of pecans given * Tuna tartare | 1/5: Unfortunately, the one miss of the evening. The description with cucumber, figs, and cardamom sounded incredible, but the dish fell completely flat. The cucumber purée had an almost gel-like texture, and the tuna didn't taste fresh to us. We sent it back. More acidity, spice, and sumac could help, but the freshness and texture were the bigger issues. * Octopus carpaccio | 5/5: STUNNING. I usually gravitate toward a cooked octopus tentacle, but this preparation with fennel absolutely won me over. One of my favorite dishes of the night. * Pita: Thick, soft, and delicious. We went through two baskets! An excellent vehicle for the dips and appetizers, but honestly good enough to enjoy on its own. * Little gems | 3/5: Served with za'atar crumbs and roasted grapes. The grapes initially threw me off, but the combination worked surprisingly well. A creative salad I really enjoyed, but $19 for some leaves, breadcrumb & grapes is pushing it * Manti | 5/5: Little wonton-like dumplings stuffed with spiced beef, served over garlicky labneh with oven-dried tomatoes. Absolutely delicious. A must-order for us. * Crispy latkes | 5/5: Everyone should order these. Perfectly crispy with a lovely thyme finish. An excellent side that deserves its own spotlight. * Charred broccoli: A very generous portion served with cashew harissa that packed some heat. So tasty that I accidentally ate the entire side myself... oops. Bottom line: Zou Zou's is worth a visit for the atmosphere alone, and do need to return to have actual entrees. The tuna tartare was a miss, and the fattoush wasn't my favorite, but the octopus carpaccio, manti, latkes, and broccoli more than made up for it. Add in thoughtful service touches and a lively, versatile setting, and we left happy.

Their seasoned fries with their aioli dipping sauce....DAAAAAANGG!! So so good....I didn't take a pic this trip, because once we started in on the fries, they were gone! Every time we go in, really nice folks that run the place! Service goes the extra mile to make sure you have a great meal! Inside it's small but clean....sometimes we eat there, sometimes we take it to go. Getting hungry just thinking about it and sadly I live on the west coast, so I have to wait about 6 months to get this again! Anyone who loves writing a 1 hour drive to Manhattan...I'm jealous!

The line is long, but very few people realize that they also do online orders, to be honest the line for that is still around 30min but it beats the 1 hour line. You pay a little more for it to be expidited but time is money am I right? Go in line right after ordering online though because they still make everything fresh and if you wait to pick it up you're still gonna have to wait 30min. The workers don't really speak much to you or acknowledge you until it's your turn so I say to be patient and they do their best with the rush and language barrier. A must try in New York if you're visiting, one of the only "touristy" spots that actually live up to the hype

Was it worth the hype or the 15-20 minute wait? Nah. It's good, but IMO, not superior enough to any of the other halal carts to justify the wait. The food was hot, fresh, plentiful, and tasted good, but that can be said of practically any halal cart chosen at random. The service was perfunctory: you ordered, paid and received it. As for ambiance, you got the hustle and bustle of 6th Ave to keep you company while you sit on a fountain ledge and enjoy your meal. Food: 4 Service: 3 Ambiance: depends on the weather

I had heard about The Halal Guys for years but somehow never had the privilege of trying it, mostly because this cart is usually packed.

We ordered the chicken sandwich with everything and the beef platter with yellow rice, and OMG... it was incredible! These guys are clearly commanding the halal food scene, and after finally trying it, I completely understand the hype. The food was flavorful, satisfying, and exactly what we needed at that moment. There's something about eating a great late-night meal straight from NYC food cart that just hits differently. I will say, my sandwich was VERY spicy.
