    Chicken over rice
    Vincent Y.

    Wow! I was surprised when I saw a sign outside that said $2.99 for chicken or lamb over rice. I walked inside and it was actually that price. $3.25 if you include tax. The price is unbeatable. It's not a huge plate, but it's enough for a quick meal. If you get two for $7.50, it can easily fill you up. The only thing I would recommend is asking if they can remove the random pieces of fries they add since those are sometimes a little bit stale. But overall, it tastes like any other chicken/lamb over rice and comes with the red and white sauce.

    You cannot go wrong with $2.99 for chicken and rice and lettuce. Very tasty. Portion is good. I was starving when i got it so it wasn't enough but this is an excellent portion if you are normally hungry. Service is very fast. I took my food to go and it seemed pretty packed when i went on a Tuesday at 5pm. Mostly everyone was taking the "tasty chicken" to go. You can also get hot sauce with it but i didn't. Another thing to note is that there is no bathroom available. Probably because there's alot of traffic by a subway stop so understandably they don't want to deal with that.

    Best deal in NYC , you can't beat a $2.99 Platter . They are generous on the portions !!! I been seeing this around so had to come check it for myself !! Definitely worth the hype , also very busy lucky if you get a seat . It's family owned and the fellas were nice. They didn't rush my order or anything . It's fast food , no complains !! At $2.99 go try it !!!

    The disgusting inedible salad! MEH!!

    I ordered the fish with salad what I received was a mess. Fish cut up in pieces, a salad that was mish mosh of a mess. The fries where not crinkle cut or fresh certainly NOT as advertised, NOT worth the time or money. If your gonna make terrible food don't waste the time and effort. Texas is still hands down the only state I've been in where the food is good, hot and as advertised the BEST. This food was garbage, that I tossed out and requested a refund. I wish I'd ordered a bag salad from the supermarket then to have wasted my time and money on this.

    I saw the $2.99 lamb or chicken over rice sign a while back and decided this would be a quick lunch to try out... what's to lose? If I hated it, it was 3 bucks. Well, the food was good for the price. I would say it's about half of the size of what you get in the regular $9 order, but not bad for a fast, cheap meal. The spot seemed to be popular with people coming in and out a lot. The flavor of the food was good, tastes like any other halal food cart. They did include a couple of random French fries, which I'm assuming was intentional... but I could've done without them. They didn't seem to add anything to the dish. I would suggest a little more meat, but again, what do you expect from a $3 plate?! Overall, it was good in a jiffy. I would say I'd even pay the full price for the regular size portion next time. Check it out if you're in the area, I've yet to see a better chicken over rice deal anywhere else!

    The $2.99 halal platters are what caught my eye to this place! I tried both lamb and chicken platters. The chicken was a bit lacking in flavor, but the lamb flavor was better. They have white, red, and green sauces to choose from. The service was fast and our cashier was welcoming. The ambiance was similar to other fast food restaurants. For the unbeatable price, I recommend trying this place!

    You can tell I get this a lot. Happy platter - chicken and another that is lamb
    Michelle F.

    This is your typical halal fried chicken/meat platter spot. Nothing that is crazy healthy, but it does get you full and happy. I like the deals they have ($2.99 happy platter and 10-11 pieces of fried chicken). The staff is very quick in preparing your meal. I've never had complaints about this place. I've never sat down and eat since many do sit down and eat. It's a clean fast food restaurant. I really appreciate the happy platter. You can get a chicken or lamb platter for $2.99 (not including tax). It is the smaller version of their chicken or lamb platter that is usually a whole meal. For the price and the fact that you don't need to eat such a large portion to get full, the happy platter is perfect. Sometimes, I even get 2 and call it a whole meal. The fried chicken is typical. Very halal style that you can find in most halal fried chicken spots (Kennedy fried chicken and other halal fried chicken spots). The only difference is this place feels much cleaner and brighter.

Great value too (for $50 you can get a family combo that includes a variety of sandwiches, wraps, wings, A WHOLE CHICKEN, fries, nuggets, cheese sticks, and a large soda!).

Seriously, don't sleep on the espresso drinks... you can save a few "bucks" by coming here instead and supporting this small business (hehe, see what I did there?).

My toddler likes her a lot and wants to play with her and visit every so often. The food across the board is delicious. I have pretty much tried everything here except a few of the appetizers and the pistol legs. The only item that I don't particularly like is the pumpkin pie, while it's tasty and has a nice texture I don't really taste any pumpkin. I hope this place stays open would really be a good staple and some added variety to the restaurants available in the few blocks of stores located in this section of 108 street.

    I really love the food here, and that's what makes this review difficult to write. The food is…read moregenuinely delicious, and I would absolutely recommend trying the restaurant based on the quality of the food alone. However, I've personally decided not to return because of the restaurant's policies regarding reasonable modifications and additional charges. My issue isn't that I expect everything to be free or that I expect the kitchen to completely change every dish for me. I understand that some modifications may cost extra, and I am more than willing to pay for additional ingredients or extra food. For example, I asked if I could have truffle shrimp mac and cheese and was willing to pay extra for the shrimp and any additional ingredients, but they would not make the modification. Another example was a dish that included rice cakes and fish cakes. I only wanted the rice cakes, without the fish cakes, but I was still charged for the full dish. I understand that there may be preparation and pricing considerations, but it felt unreasonable to pay the same price when I was receiving less food--especially since I would assume the fish cakes are likely one of the more expensive components of the dish. The drink policy was also frustrating. They charge for additional soda refills, even though the soda comes from the fountain. I also ordered seltzer water, which comes from the same type of gun and doesn't require syrup, and was told that additional refills would also cost extra. I know some people may think this sounds like a small thing, but paying around $10 for three refills of soda or seltzer can add up quickly. I realize I may sound picky, and I understand that restaurants have their own policies and pricing structures. I'm not writing this review to discourage anyone from eating here because, again, I truly love the food. I'm writing it more for people like me who appreciate having some flexibility when making reasonable modifications and who may not expect to be charged for every refill. If you're happy ordering directly from the menu without modifications and don't mind paying for additional drink refills, you will probably have a great experience because the food really is excellent. Unfortunately, for me, dining out should also include being able to get what I want within reason, especially when I'm willing to pay for additional food or ingredients. Because of that, despite loving the food, I've decided not to return.

Anyway, the front of the joint has this dark green paint store facade with a big sign that shows beer specials, inviting me and you inside. Instagram calls it 'Good vibes, great food, and a s..', I don't even know what the rest of that sentence was supposed to be, but it's probably pure crap anyway. ​Inside, they've got this sleek-looking metallic bar with hanging yellow lights, there is always a couple of guys sitting around pretending they're having the greatest time in the world. It depresses the hell out of me. ​They also have a picture of the menu explaining what some might consider a user friendly way to pick your food and assorted preferenced. It goes somethinglike this. 'Step 1: Choose Your Chicken,Step 2: Choose Your Batter, Step 3: Choose Your Sauces. It's so damn complicated to me. They make you go through all these steps just to get a piece of fried bird. They've got all kinds of crispy wings, some are glossy, some are glazed and sticky, choose your drumsticks or wings. I really like their fried dumplings too and their little free side dishes of radish cubes and coleslaw. Come on your birthday, show identification and you'll get a Happy Birthday sign right on your free basket of chicken legs, or was it a free chicken? I cant recall exactly, but yiu cant leave with it and you cant give it to uour friend, I haveknownsome that tried and i think thats uncool. Imagine getting fried chicken for your birthday, from someone you dont know, it's enough to make you feel like someone out there cares.

Even though the sauce on the Rasta pasta was delicious, the fish had the perfect amount of batter, and the plantain boats had just the right amount of sweetness, it's still difficult to decide which was my favorite! The place is small but the flavors and portions are big. There is limited seating available and seems like most people take their orders to go.
