My friend Anthony insists on taking us to Manhattan on a regular basis, and dragging us all over town to try different Halal Carts. This concept has become so famous among the cart owners, that one of them has actually named his cart after it. "Tony Draggin'us." Of course because he's a Halal Cart owner, he spelled it wrong, hence "Tony Dragonas."
What to get: Shish Kebab Plate
What else: Combo or anything
Anything else: My bum bum is on fire, and the next paragraph will explain why
So I know the real reason for the name of this cart. Which is that if you put too much hot sauce on this thingy, then your bottom will be on fire. Hence "Dragon Ass." Get it? Now you understand.
So NYC is full of absolutely amazing Halal Carts. And when you say Goodbye, I say Halal. Halal, Halal. I don't know why you say goodbye, I say Halal. And this one is one of the very best there is. It's definitely top 10 in NYC, and may even be top 5. It's a little behind Sammy's Halal and Biryani Cart, and it's competing with the likes of King Of Falafel (Queens), Halal Guys, Uncle Gussy's and Halal Guys. So I'd say yes, it would just about make the top 5.
I don't know why the owner is so angry though. You should come here with us some time, if only to hear "Tony Rag-on-us." He really does. Except that I don't appreciate that expression, so please don't use it at home, kids, just because you saw me do it. Damn I feel like Eminem right now. Y'all act like you never seen a white person before.
The reason Tony is so good is that he has a huge p***s. Oh wait. That's a different Tony. No, the reason it's so good is that it's made with wonderful high quality ingredients. The salad is well put together and fresh. The rice is delectable and buttery and tasty. And the meat is the absolute star of the show. I'm not even a huge Shish fan, but Tony said I should try his Shish, which is cubes of lamb or beef steak, marinaded and cooked on a skewer. He was damn right. This is some of the juiciest, tastiest meat I've tried before. I was absolutely floored by how damn good it was. Bravo, Tony. Bravo.
If this place sold Argentinian food, it'd be renamed to "Tony Patagonias" but it doesn't. Which is a shame because Argentinian food is f***ing awesome.
I want to send a massive shout out (as usual) to my friend Kashif for recommending this particular cart so vehemently and emphatically that I ended up finding my way here, and absolutely loved it. I will be back again for sure, and Kashif definitely earned Tony another customer, so well done K.
And if this were "Tony Slagonus" it would be about me and several male friends with a rather rough, rather promiscuous British girl atop us. But it's not. Which is probably a good thing? Or?
If you love Halal Carts, or if you love Kebab, make your way over to TD and give this a try. It's one of the very best there is, and you need to try it for yourself.
And if this were "Tony Sharonas", I'd have the knack of coming here more often, and then it'd be all like:
Ooh, my little tasty one, my favourite one
When you gonna give me Shish Kabob, Dragonas
Ooh, you gimme growling tum, my growling tum
Got it coming off o' the line, Dragonas
Never gonna stop eating, chew it up, such a delicious cart
I always eat it up, for the taste of the younger Sheep, Dragonas
