Food was a nice change from regular midtown lunch options, I really liked the jerked chicken. The…read morerest of the meal it came with was fine, I wish the plantains were better, I love plantains, but these were some of the most underwhelming plantains i've ever had. My biggest issue was just very tentative service. They didn't want to be friendly or fast. It was a weird vibe in that sense. I'm not sure what the goal of being absent and quiet when serving food at a food cart is, but if they were more friendly and playing fun music I'd be more inclined to come back. I might still come back to try the pork!

I've seen the trucks around the city before, and when I came across Jamrock Jerk right around the…read morecorner from where I was working for the day, I figured I'd stop and give it a try. There was a line, so I took that as a good sign. I ordered the jerk chicken along with rice and peas, and it was definitely worth it. It was a great experience overall, and I'll definitely be back

We were absolutely starving, coming out late at night from a concert at Radio City Music Hall, and…read morethis was one of the few spots nearby that was still open. 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 walked straight up and, to our surprise, it was fairly empty-- clearly our lucky night. 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. And i love spicy food, but this was another level haha... My entire mouth was on fire. The funny part? I literally could not stop eating it. It was that good. Sometimes the simplest food, at exactly the right time, becomes the most memorable. This was definitely one of those moments. Now I get the hype!

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.

Worth it. To be…read morehonest, theres very little things in new york that's worth a physical line. But adel's is definitely one of those things. Some of the best halal street food I've ever had. 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
