Been coming here for years. Always liked the food. The food can lean a little towards the dry side so I would suggest adding extra sauce.

Solid halal cart located on university and 14th SW corner on univ. got a lamb over rice $10. Decent portion size. Good flavoring. Maybe too much lettuce. No prices on cart. Guys work hard. Opened 24-7 I'm told. One of the better halal carts in the area. No pita or fries in plate. read more

Tried chicken kebab with yellow rice over white sauce, and it was great. Definitely going to visit again if I'm around.

what rainy lazy night calls for...food from The Halal Kitchen parked on 14th Street and University. hadn't been here in a minute--not much has changed: ample servings, Middle Eastern styled comfort food, and well-seasoned eats. ordered a chicken over rice--not a long wait bc it was super rainy last night. the platter of seasoned chicken and rice was really filling from the chunks of chicken and fragrant rice topped with white sauce and a dab of hot sauce. service is quick and friendly. prices have risen steadily bc of inflation, price gouging, fill-in-the-reason etc. as Marlo Stanfield of The Wire once said: "the price of the brick going up" and that it has...that it has. p.s. don't sleep on the gyro--quality sando. read more

My son and I just got done eating the chicken over rice combo and it was so so good. We are staying at the W hotel and it was a few mins away, decided to give it a try and we both are so happy we did. The man who helped us was really nice, and gave great service. He had my son try a piece of the chicken before packing it up to make sure it was to his liking. He was VERY generous with the portion, not like Chipotle, who lately have been stingy with their food- you can tell he makes the food from his heart and also serves it with love. As it should be! I didn't know the price of the food prior to ordering but when I asked how much to pay, he told us $9. I was surprised at the price- For what we got, he could easily charge more and it would be worth it. I read a review on here saying the food was over priced... which is unfortunate someone would say that...considering what you get, to me it's insane and compelled me to write a review while on vacation. He would be giving it away for free if he charged less! He deserves to make a living and I was very happy to pay $9 and support his business. I hope my review brings more business to him! Thank you for the delicious dinner, it was more than enough for 2 people. Will be coming back. read more

Excellent value. I saw them cooking the chicken and I just had to have it. Nice service. Drinks too. So convenient as I was going to a concert nearby. Really fast. Like 3 minutes. I got the chicken over rice. So yummy. White and red sauce are soooo good. Plastic container for convenience to go. read more

SOOOOOOOOO good. Cheap and far yummier and more filling than anything this city (at least this neighbourhood) offers. I have this couple times a week. The following are what I have tried and they are all stellar. Lamb over rice Fish over rice Chicken kebab over rice Lamb gyro Paired with white sauce and hot sauce. Might have it tonight. Very hungry just thinking about it. Well done. Bonus points if you manage to speak Arabic to them. They are Egyptian. Also my Arab friend has this everyday and highly endorsed this place. This place specifically, not the other carts in the area. I'm sure they're good too though. EDIT: I did have Halal Kitchen again today, and I got the Chicken Over Rice. It was so good. Very hot and fluffy (in a grainy way) rice and very delicious and well-textured chicken. read more

$10 for chicken over rice is way over priced. $7 or $8 MOST. Nor does it come with the bread on top or a drink, so $10 isn't even worth it. The food is good tho, nothing wrong with it. Just over priced. You can go to somewhere else for regular price. read more

What better way to end a long night out than with some halal food! A few friends and I stopped by for a quick bite before heading out, and we came across this cart. I ordered the Chicken/Lamb Combo Over Rice ($6). For the price, the portion and amount is great! However, it wasn't very flavorful. The rice was well cooked but not as seasoned as I expected. Same with the chicken and lamb. The salad was a refreshing side to the meal. It didn't hit the spot like other halal carts but it did keep me full for some time. I don't think I'd come back since there's so many other options for halal food in NYC. read more

This review is from our experience here, even though my boyfriend ate the food - he ordered chicken and rice plate. When we sat on the line for a bit longer than usual because he was cleaning the grill, we got to watch the proprietor of the stand. He had an amazing attitude, and clearly put love into the food. And it showed. He took his time to ensure everything was cooked well, and was just fun to deal with as well. I only tasted a bit of the rice off my boyfriend's tin (thank you for no styrofoam) and it wan't just the average yellow rice that always seems to be cooked with turmeric for the color, and a cube or two of some kind of chicken stock bullion. We have some of those spice blends in the cabinet, and now I have a new way to use them. My boyfriend says: A big notch up in authenticity and quality from your average street vendor- more attention to detail, great spice blends and more small ingredients mixed in like onions, etc. For $7, amazing meal with great portion size! read more

Ordered chicken over rice ($7) - fabulous value for the portion size. I got white sauce and hot sauce, which I definitely recommend as well. Drinks were only $1 and there was a good selection of sodas and water. The truck was also parked right by Union Square park if you're looking for a place to eat. read more

I'm going to start by saying that I used to be obsessed with The Halal Guys. The quality of their food has severely gone downhill these days though. I'm always a bit hesitant to try new halal places, as not that many are truly delicious, but The Halal Kitchen was a pleasant surprise. I ordered a mix over rice, and it was flavorful as can be. The owner was very nice, portion size was great and I really, really thought that it was delicious. This is definitely my new go-to spot for halal in the city. Thank you! read more

Soooo so good!! Came by one night and got falafel over rice. They fry the falafel in front of you, and i'd you order bread they grill it too. The falafel was so crispy and the meal was yummy and filling!! The guy running the truck wash pretty funny and made conversation. 10x better than other similar halal places, would recommend!! read more

Good, but the standards by which I measure my street meat are the halal guys and the halal carts in the Bronx by Montefiore Hospital. The hot sauce was the more watery 'Americanized' version that likely suits the needs of most consumers, but my true joy lies in the bright red pasty ultra hot sauces offered by the aforementioned. It burns with a heat and flavor like no other. So although their meat is plentiful and service friendly, the spice was not there for me as desired. read more

After being out in the West Village and Chelsea the morning until mid-afternoon I needed some quick filling food. I came to this food truck since it was close to the subway. I ordered a Chicken gyro. I asked for white sauce and a little bit of hot sauce. I asked for a little bit because I wanted to be cautious about not getting too much. I can take a good amount of heat but I have my limits. When I got it to go after a short while, it was packed with boneless chicken. Also had lettuce and onion and previously mentioned sauces. The pita was soft, not too thick, and hot. read more

Pretty good chicken over rice, but BEWARE OF THE HOT SAUCE! Whatever these guys use is absolutely deadly!

Love this cart. I usually don't do carts but this one is so yummy clean and excellent service. The guy who runs it, Ahmad makes food to perfection and a nice guy. You never had to wait long everything is fresh. Whenever I'm around I come here because it's just the good. The food tastes a lot better than restaurants and you get so much for a great price. read more
