    I thoroughly enjoyed this. It's cheap, it's flavorful. I love the combination plate. I look forward to the next time I return! Always ask for the white sauce!

    Thief that short changed us, yelled and gave us part of our money back. We had to go back after realizing he stiffed us again.

    Beware if you see the guy in the pic by Ruwan of "Grill guy" from 5 months before my review. Guy is a thief. He talked me into a can of soda with my meal saying it was a dollar. Short changed us by charging us 2 bucks for it. When I called him out, he made excuses claiming it was 2, I told him I didn't want it. He gave me a dollar back while yelling. Then, we had to walk back there a few minutes later because we realized he only gave me 1 dollar back and not the 2 he owed me. Food is bland cart food. There are plenty of better options in the area and throughout lower Manhattan. A quick search on yelp will show some good ones.

    Combo yumm

    I usually have halal guy that the meat was chopped up, here's is bigger chunk which feels very different but still very yummy. Glad they still serve lamb as the halah guy at MoMa no longer does. Once in a while crave for the unhealthy combi over rice...!

    Chicken and lamb over rice $7
    Su-Yee L.

    The service is gruff but the food is good. $6 for chicken or lamb over rice, and $7 for both. The food comes out fast and hot! The first time, I'd barely ordered before it was already in front of me. Chicken was in really large, tender chunks the first time (really good), but chopped smaller the second time when I got the combo over rice. Lamb is okay. The rice is pretty tasty and you're given a good amount of sauce. Everything is flavorful. Hot sauce isn't crazy spicy or anything, but the white sauce makes the dish. Decent amount of salad on the side too. Would recommend for a cheap, hot meal in Soho.

    Lamb and chicken over rice combination

    I was having a great day off hanging out with a friend and we decided to go and get some Halal food. The entire drive to the city all I could think about was the aromas and spices of the food,so once we got to the stand I ordered a chicken and lamb combination over rice with white sauce and hot sauce and boy was the hot sauce hot. I enjoyed every bite of the food and and my taste buds were running wild. The oner of the food stand was very friendly and made great convo with the customers For roughly 7$ you cannot beat it the traffic is the only thing that makes the trip suck.

    Kati roll looked more like a giant taco
    Jason C.

    out of curiosity, I got the kati roll recently for $4. Ok, it's not a legit authentic kati roll. Its basically the chicken from the chicken rice in a paratha. It's even covered in the white sauce. But, I'm giving it 5 stars as it was amazing! the paratha was hot, crispy and buttery! this thing was no roll, it looked more like a giant taco with its guts spewing out. the meat was juicy and flavorful mixed in with sweet onions and bell peppers. smothered with the white sauce, it was savory, creamy and sweet. This halal chicken taco kati thing was topped off like a chicken rice plate with lettuce and tomatoes. would i get this over a chicken rice plate? naw, for $1 more, you get more bang for the buck as at the end of the day, $5 gets you essentially the same thing but in a giant box with rice while this is like 1/4 of the meat and its wrapped up like an oversized taco. you really need to want a paratha first for this to be worth it.

    Chicken with rice with hot sauce, white sauce, and green sauce (1)

    This is one of my favorite halal carts. Located on the corner of Houston St. and Broadway, it's very conveniently located near several subway stops in Soho. Chicken and rice is my choice of food here. I'm a pretty big fan of halal, and I have tried many halal carts thoughout the city and I think this one is up there with the best. The value here is excellent. It's $5 for chicken and rice. The chicken here is marinated and tastes more like Sammy's halal than Halal guys. The rice is also flavored. They usually have green sauce here so I get it with white, hot, and green sauce. The combination is very flavorful. More often than not the sizing of your platter is pretty large, although sometimes I haven't gotten as heaping of a share as others. The taste also isn't as consistent, as I would like. However, because of the price and taste, I'd still say this cart is five stars. There isn't many places to sit around here, so you'll probably have to take your platter to go or stand and eat it.

    Honestly I was always under the impression that food cart would give me food poisoning and diarrhea. I'm happy to announce my stomach is not only intact, it is thanking me for this delicious food. Also my wallet is thanking me too cuz it was so cheap!! $7 chicken over rice!!!

    Chicken Over Rice light on the white sauce heavy on the hot sauce
    Jeremy R.

    $5 Chicken Over Rice. Game. Set. Match. Get twice the meat for a dollar exta. Best halal cart in SoHo. Maybe even the best halal cart in NYC.

So thoughtful, and such a great touch to start the evening for us. We decided to order the family style menu and we enjoyed the whole dinner. All of the dishes on the menu were really good and great price for $74pp. I wish we had a 4th in our party so we couldve had the duck, but we'll definitely be returning to do so. The dips were so good and so fresh! I think all of the dishes were perfectly seasoned. I get sad when dishes are overly seasoned or overly salty.

Walking in, it's a stunning restaurant and on this night, not too crowded which made us wonder why they would seat us next to the servers station away from dozens of much nicer tables. Note that I booked through Open Table where I have Gold status which I thought meant you get a better table. Next fail, we wanted to start with a Mediterranean dip, but they only offer that if you go with a $39 tray with multiple dips. Not something a party of two would be able to east, so we skipped apps altogether. Sucks too, because several tables had it and it liked amazing, just too much for two. For dinner I had the Yemeni Au Police Kebab, Filet Mignon which was absolutely delicious. The peppercorn Hawaii really sweetened the meat's flavor. So high marks for the steak. My wife had two small dishes which she wasn't as thrilled with, Grilled Artichokes which were too dry for her liking and Manti, which she liked. Main takeaways. Very pricey, beautiful atmosphere (if you get a nice table) and maybe a place that's better for a group than a couple.

We tried the spicy shrimp (coconut based broth), spicy tonkatsu, and salmon miso ramen. The tonkatsu and salmon were both cooked well - tender and moist. Ramen noodles were thin and well cooked - more al dente. We also tried the karaage which had a thick crispy batter and a sweet glaze, with an optional spicy side sauce for dipping. They had a variety of sake and beer options. The inside is small but turnaround is fairly quick. Lots of two seaters and a large table that we were able to snag after just a few minutes of waiting. There was also bar seating. Pretty dark inside to add to the ambiance for a quick date or catch up with friends. Checked in to the waitlist via Resy because we didn't have a reservation, and it was a short wait. Service was prompt.

Replacing pickles and mayo with red onion and mint chutney? Mental. Chef is a straight-up genius for that one. ​Grabbed the mini samosas on the side and washed the fire down with a Thums Up. That soda hits way harder than a Coke--sharp, spicy, and high voltage. ​Shoutout to Eric for holding it down and helping me navigate the spice.

At first I was impressed with all the flavors of the sandwich; however about halfway through, it became very soggy from all the sauces. I ended up ditching the bread by the very end and eating the chicken with my hands. I also wasn't a fan of the fries. They were overdone. The texture and taste was almost like they had been cooked previously, then refried again to make my order. The meal was just 3 stars for me. That being said, it's a unique concept and quite a few of their menu options looked good! Maybe I just ate there on an off day...
