Chicken Breast Platterp
Dan H.

Huge portions and sensible menu that's quite easy to order from. At lunch there's a super long line mostly full of people who work nearby that moves really fast. One portion is certainly big enough to share. We got the chicken plate with the works. Fantastic. You will smell like garlic afterwards but it's worth it. we ate on the church steps right behind the food truck as others were doing.

Still as delicious as I remember! When I was still working in the Financial District, I'd have Uncle Gussy's Chicken Breast platter at least once every 2 weeks. Pre-pandemic times, that's right. That's how I've gotten to know Nicko and his team over social media because I was a regular. Fast forward to the other week. My husband was near their Park Avenue truck and the thought of having their chicken platters and souvlakis were just too good so I ordered online, messaged Nicko and he said, "I got you, guys." Hubby comes home and I see that Nicko threw in some extra fries with feta cheese! What a treat! Thanks again for that! Anyway, safe to say we tremendously enjoyed that meal. I absolutely love their tzatziki and hot sauces too. Heck even their simple side salad that's in every platter is divine. And the pita. And the rice. And that everything tastes fresh and delicious. I somehow can't understand how they could make a simple chicken breast to be delicious and more importantly, not dried out, which tends to be the case mostly but not here. Absolutely cannot wait for our next Uncle Gussy's meal! Thanks again to Nicko and the team! :)

The Hercules
Erick S.

Friendly staff and big portions here - I got "The Hercules" combo (lamb + chicken) with the works (white sauce + hot sauce + grilled onions). I came by for a late lunch, so there was no line and food was quick and hot. Definitely one of my favorite halal carts.

Been a patron of this truck since I started working in the area. The pandemic has changed my work status to fully remote so I haven't been able to get my fix. Just recently I found myself in the area and walked over to Uncle Gussy's spot. I ordered 2 chicken and rice platters with tzatiki and hot sauce and brought it home to my family. The rice and chicken were cooked perfectly and survived the trip home. I'm happy to see them still thriving in the heart of midtown east and the food is still fantastic! Highly recommend. Big portions and delicious food for a reasonable price.

Greek Salad with gyro
Rajeev L.

Great Greek food truck! The line gets long, but the service is quick and friendly. I always the the Greek salad with gyro meat as my go to lunch. The meat is flavorful and plentiful! This is definitely a great value for the money.

Haven't been here in years - randomly walked by today and shockingly no line so I had to take advantage. Chicken over rice w the works (beans, onions, salad, hot and tzatziki sauces. Better than I remembered. $14 so a little steep but very tasty.

Uncle gussys!

Definitely lives up to the hype. Came here a few weeks ago and waited on about a 20 minute wait. Looked extremely long but they move fast and are like machines. I had 2nd thoughts about waiting but really wanted to try it. Boy was i happy i stayed on line. Absolutely incredible- i got the hercules plate it was full of gyro crispy fries and salad. Their hot sauce is amazing. The fries are amazing - the "greek salad" could definitely use some more love and dressing. But still 5 stars for me. Just go and wait on line you will not be disappointed.

Ordered the lamb/gyro fries box w the works But they gave me rice instead The pros of this store was its speed and presentation The downside being that the meat and sauce were extremely mid Its probably as good as it gets in the immediate area for lunch halal trucks but its not impressive (and is $2 more than the other top halal choices like halal guys/ adels) Pass on this if you got the other two aforementioned options but otherwise this will generally do the trick

Great food for a great price. Friendly staff and also have an order ahead option for pick up. We shared a Hercules and then sat in the church steps and watch the people go by. Def worth a try on a good weather day. It can't be beat. Will def be back.

Chicken Breast Platter
Nadia R.

Saw all the reviews and was so excited to have Uncle Gussy's for lunch. I ordered the Chicken Breast Platter which comes with rice, chicken and salad for $9 (oh my word! It was a ton of food) which was awesome for being in New York City and expecting to spend a lot . Two people can eat comfortably from one platter. I will say however that next time I'll opt for the Chicken Thigh Platter as the chicken breast was a little on the dry side but it was well flavored and tasty. Ps. Plan ahead before you get super hungry, the line was a little lengthy but moved speedily.

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.

Great food truck in the area. You'll find a abundance of lamb chicken over rice in the vicinity but…read morethis is one of those that are top tier and competes closely with the others. It's a must try and a go to if you enjoy the style as all in the area have their certain style. Love the lamb and chicken combo over rice. Hot, flavorful, fresh, and made to order. Great white sauce and hot sauce with a wonderful fresh salad that is full of ingredients. Love how the add the extra spice on top to top it off. Friendly and good service. I'd definitely come back.
