I stopped by this local cart for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the rice and quality of the meat. The line here is usually not very long, the service is fast. I ordered a Chicken & Lamb Over Rice - the consistency of the sauce had a good balance, the viscosity was perfect and was able to provide an even coating to the individual grains of rice. The fries on top provided an additional dimension to the platter, but the highlight of this platter was definitely the portion of lentils that was mixed in with the rice. This was a unique touch that I have not seen at any other halal cart and truly catapulted King Cab Halal into a league of its own. If you're in the neighborhood and looking for a quick bite then you can't go wrong with King Cab Halal!
My search for the best halal food cart in NYC continues... Hands down one of best halal food truck in the city. It's located close to Hudson Yards and a few blocks away from Penn Station. King Cab exceeded my expectations. I ordered the chicken platter which was only 9.50 (bring cash!) and it was delicious--loaded with fresh ingredients that mixed perfectly together. It had a lot of chicken in it too, they weren't stingy with it at all! The worker running the truck was attentive and clearly puts love into each order. I'll definitely be coming back to this location from now on when I don't want to wait an hour in like for some of the other ones....
This is one of my good friends favorite halal cart spot so I had to give it a shot. It is good halal. A decent amount of food, good chicken, good lamb and good sauce. Just a typical good halal spot.
The falafel sandwich is nothing to write home about. Very bland and the pita uninteresting. A disappointment. Luckily I had the mixed meats on salad. Outstanding. Flavorful. Moist. Love the mixed in French fries.
My favorite halal spot in the neighborhood, I go at least once a week. They have brown rice available which is a rarity among the halal carts. That alone is reason enough to go. Still, the food is consistent and they make your food fast. I just wish they would trust me to handle hot sauce when I tell them I want a lot.
One of my favorite meals in NYC. I've been to NYC 4 times and find the local dishes here very average and not good like other cities in the country. Very disappointing for a world -class city! This cart is located in a dark corner by the Hudson Yards area. It's not a busy corner at the street and the owner isn't friendly but the food is really good and very trainable priced. I ordered two lamb gyros, a chicken. Plate and a fish plate. All good but I wish the fish better was crispy. I docked 1 star off as the owner isn't friendly at all and asking him for ketchup and sauces to go was difficult. He has none. What business don't have small containers for sauces on the side???
Lamb Gyro with rice is very nice. Delicious and large enough!! But I have to check the order when I ordered in online
My wife and I ate here because of the yelpers. I knew we were in the right spot when there were a number of cabbies eating and ordering. It is close to the highline so we got our food and found seating nearby on the Highline. It was perfect. Wife had the falafel sandwich and I had chicken over rice. Lots of sauce!! Spicy and satisfying meal.
This was close to where I was staying so I stopped by for lunch. This food cart is open 24/7 which is good if you have those late night drunchies. I ordered the chicken over rice ($9). They also had fries and some small bits of crunchy tortilla chips in it too which was an interesting surprise. There were even pickles and jalapeños which the other food cart places didn't have. The portions were pretty standard but this place was a lot cheaper which was nice. The food also felt cleaner than the other chicken over rices that I had in the area. Always go extra on the white sauce!
Favorite halal truck!! So much better than halal guys to be honest. It's clean, fresh, and fast! The lamb over rice is my good to!
