Cheeseburger with fries

Wasn't asked what I wanted on my burger they just handed it to me and asked me to pay for a total of $11.21 it's good, very filling.

Chicken and Lamb Over Rice (L) w/ Hot Sauce $9
Mei Qin Z.

Parked right outside Hunter's West Building, the Roadside Grill offers a wide range of fulfilling meals and platters, at a really cheap price too. For $6 to $8, you can get a small or large platter of chicken or lamb over rice. They also offer other food items such as hamburgers, shish kabobs, fries and what not. My favorites are the chicken over rice and the chicken tenders with fries. Different from your typical halal carts, their chicken over rice consists of large cuts of grilled chicken over yellow rice, with some mixed salad and tomatoes on the side. Their white sauce does taste a bit more like ranch rather than tahini sauce, but still pretty delicious. The shaved cuts of lamb over rice is also really good too. You can also get a mix of chicken and lamb over rice, but they only offer a large platter of this and it's a dollar more than the usual large platters. So $9.

Always great food, always fresh, and the friendliest people. Haven't had a bad dish yet and I try something different every time.

Delicious phillycheese steak and chicken burger! Quick and affordable for college students! Staff are very friendly.

Lamb over rice
Linda W.

I cannot even begin to describe how badly I want a lamb over rice combo right now.. The food truck is located right outside of the hunter west building. For $7 you get a nice hot order of yellow long grain rice with shaved gyro lamb and a mixed salad with your choice of hot sauce, bbq sauce, or tahini (white sauce). The guys are so quick with everyone's orders not to mention always precise ! They're pretty friendly too and give generous portions of meat :) Drinks are all $2. Will definitely try some other orders here throughout my next four years in college

Shawarma Bay - Falafel Platter

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.

Food alone 4.5 stars for a food truck…read more We had an early dinner in the area so I suggested to bring some halal home for later or the next day since we haven't had halal food in years... They open at 7:30; we were there just before 7pm, but a line started forming behind us after 10 mins or so. It was hot and L was drunk.. it seemed like an eternity. I heard them cooking and the smell was waffling outside but the truck was still not open at 7:30.. when they did finally open... we ordered the 2 meat combo platter and a beef chapli platter ...they still catered to some customers on the side before the people on the line. We tried a lil of the beef chapli a hr later. Salad was flavorful. Meat was nicely seasoned. Rice was soft and fluffy. I loved everything but didn't care for the fries. We got the white, green and hot sauce. The 2 meat combo was very tasty...even though we ate it 2 days later. I'd say this tasted much better than the other popular spots in the city. Will definitely come back in a few days to try their falafel too.

Adel's Famous Halal Food - chicken and lamb over rice

Adel's Famous Halal Food

Adel's Famous Halal Food is absolutely worth the hype! A must-visit NYC street-food experience…read more We ordered the spicy rice with chicken, and the real game-changer was the sauces! Get both the green sauce and the spicy red sauce--they elevate the entire dish to another level. The portions are HUGE, there's plenty of meat, and the prices are incredibly affordable for how much food you get. The combination of flavorful rice, juicy chicken, and those sauces makes this seriously satisfying street food. I can't wait to go back and try their lamb! Service is quick, but be prepared for a looooong line. We went around midnight and still waited about 30 minutes, which is apparently a relatively short wait here! It's a classic NYC halal food stall, with no-frills street-food vibes and food that absolutely delivers. Come hungry, get both sauces, and don't let the line scare you off!

This is worth the hype guys... I have no idea how it got so popular (tiktok, ig reels, word of…read moremouth?) but everytime I passed by here during my trip there was a line. It also smelled heavenly. We decided to keep the good vibes going after the most fun night - BTS concert - since this was near our hotel, we got in line around 11:30pm? They're open until super late. Didn't even spend that long in line to be honest, or maybe I just didn't mind the wait? When you get closer to the front, the line splits into two - not sure what the system is logically but it does help with ordering faster. We got one platter for 2 people - Mixed Platter which includes rice, lamb, chicken, and a slice of pita. You also have the option to pile on some crispy french fries (why would you reject fries) and get a drizzle of various sauces. I very intelligently opted for the hot sauce on the side, and was so grateful for that because it does pack a punch! Gosh, this was so delicious. SEASONED, and everything on the plate mixed together so well in one bite. Also an excellent portion that would definitely last you at least 2-3 meals if you got it for one person. I'm for sure going back next time I'm in Manhattan.
