    Hummus
    Diana G.

    This food truck has a limited menu, but there's a little bit for everyone. I had the falafel plate that comes with salad and rice. It comes with a few good pieces of falafel. The salad was a decent size with tomatoes, olives and the pickles.I did order the hummus with pita bread. Hummus was OK. The pita bread is definitely store-bought. II would definitely go back for more as they are close to my home and they were super quick at getting our order ready.

    We stopped by this food truck at a gas station after seeing the great reviews, and it did not disappoint! The staff recommended the mix plate (chicken and beef shawarma with rice and salad), and it was sooo good. I got mine with no spice, which I really appreciated -- love that they offer that option. While we waited, they gave us complimentary chickpea falafels with tahini sauce, which were delicious. The portions are huge -- definitely shareable -- but I saved half for lunch the next day and it was just as good. We took it go because they have no seating, it would be better if they did, We'll definitely be back!

    Mixed platter

    Food is delicious and ready quick! Service was great told him that it was my first time and made me a mixed platter if I'm not mistaken, he put in a little spice and it gives me a small taste of everything and is very good! If you're in a rush and tired of unhealthy fast food give your body a treat with this delicious and healthy food!

    1st time I received it via door dash. The crinkle cut fries were hot and crispy and the wrap was good. They are open 12-12 and a few days later I went again. They did not have the crinkle cut fries and the ones served were not as good as the first. Hope the next time is just as tasty.

    I found this little truck on Yelp. It is almost none existent on Google maps. They are Jordanian. I ordered the beef shawarma, chicken shawarma and some falafel. I am Lebanese so automatically I asked for Arabic bread which they do have. The meat on both sandwiches is tender. This is the most legit shawarma I've gotten in town. I only wish the garlic sauce is stronger. Next time I would order a side of fries and ask them to add some to the chicken shawarma sandwich... this is how it is made traditionally. And extra pickles. This is the only tweaking I would do to say it is 100 percent legit! They are very welcoming though. Little language barrier we ended up speaking in Arabic. I liked the ambiance which made me feel right at home No place to eat.... I suggest eating it right away somewhere in the parking lot so it does not get soggy I will definitely be back even though it is a bit of a drive for me

    A food truck ran by two people. It is nearby the gasoline station. They have two chairs and one table available outside but technically it is a takeout or drive thru like of a food truck. The service was good, the owner (as it appears) helps you to navigate around the menu and give options. Waited probably for 10-20mins for our food to get ready. There are also fee people ahead of us. The food was really good, enjoyed every bite of it. You can taste the real shawarma taste. Had the Mixed Shawarma Plate and the Mix Sandwich Shawarma Arabi which comes with the sides. They are also reasonably priced with how much portion of food you are getting. Will surely go back to this place.

    The food is so good and if you've been to NY you already know . The staff is very friendly. I just wish they opened before 3 pm

    This food truck is located outside of a Chevron. They're open really late. There's a table with 4 chairs outside. There was a lot on the menu and everything is reasonably priced. We ordered 2 mixed shawarma sandwich and it came with fries. We paid $26 for both meals. The meat was lacking in flavor though. I asked for no tomatoes and was still given tomatos unfortunately. The fries were crispy but not seasoned. They gave us a lot of fries. I wouldn't try this place again unfortunately.

    Better late than never I guess. Craving for legitimacy and something nice, then I hit the spot! Fresh, tasty, and satisfactory on the go. Will be back for sure. (Thanks for the free ice cold bottled water OG) (First customer privilege lol)

    Chicken Shawarma Platter  Chicken Shawarma Arabic Style Falafel

    My husband and I have been coming to this place for over a year now. From our first visit, we tried the Potranco mix, falafel, and chicken Arabi style, and we've stuck to this order ever since! The mixed shawarma platter is also very good. The food never disappoints, always delicious, with generous portions that ensure we have leftovers for another meal. We don't eat out often, but when we do, Shawarma Alzaeem is always our top choice!

    The shawarma at this truck is always soo fresh tasting. The brother running it is friendly, and you can tell he cares about his craft. I'm always greeted with a smile, and the food makes me smile. Instead of going to a fast food spot, come here and get a meal that is filling and fresh! The falafel is hot with all the right flavors . You will not be disappointed

We also tried the falafel appetizer and it tasted so good, flakey, and the sauce it came with was perfection! The falafel tasted so good on its own. My husband and I decided to share one plate, the mixed shawarma plate, it was very big and enough for the both of us. It comes with pita bread! The chicken and gyro meat were so perfectly seasoned, the beef shawarma was good, not great. All the specialty sauces: hummus, garlic and tzatziki were absolutely tasty! We asked for more as it just complimented every bite! The plate also comes with a lemony salad, which went perfectly with every thing! We fell in love with their rice, we ordered a side of just rice! It's absolutely lovely! To drink we got their hot tea, which is black tea and you can choose to have it with natural mint leaves, it was perfection in a cup! The music was traditional Lebanese, which made you feel like you were transported to Lebanon. Will be going back very soon!

So it was our desire to get familiar with the cuisine, prior to the trip. Moroccan Bites was our choice and we couldn't have been happier we found it. The owner's daughter was our server and since she is from Marrakech, we took her suggestions on what to order. Not only was she extremely friendly, she took the time to prepare us for the culture we are about to experience and provided much needed help. For our meal, we went with an eggplant app and wifey and I ordered the Lamb couscous plus the Chicken Pastilla to share. The couscous meal was loaded with veggies, lamb and of course, couscous. The flavors were delicate and not overpowering at all. The Chicken Pastilla dish can pass for a desert with the cinnamon and powder sugar on top of a light pastry, just like a pie. It was my favorite entree of the night. Don't forget to try the mint tea. It's served hot and sweet and might actually give my Texas ice tea addiction a little competition. You shouldn't travel to a foreign land without trying their dessert options, or even travel across town as it was in our case. The glass display case caught our attention immediately, even before we sat down to look at the menu. We couldn't decide on what sweets to try, so we compromised and ordered several different kind of things. From the lemon cake to the Baklava, it was all very delicious. The Baklava is French like in its flaky texture and light enough to put down half a tray if given the chance. The inside of the restaurant is clean, has ample tables and is decorated in the country's cultural theme. Well, Moroccan Bites, thanks for a great meal and you have raised our expectations on what we are about to go through.
