I've ordered from the cart nearby called Halal Stop a few times but never actually got food from this cart until today. Today, I ordered a platter with all the works; a combo over rice with extra meat and pita bread, the likes of which brought my platter to the $15 range. Let me tell you, the platter was stuffed with food and for $2, it seemed like I had received a noticeable amount of extra meat. The food itself tasted very good and similar to the Halal Stop cart nearby, so I wouldn't be surprised if both carts were owned by the same person. All I can tell you is that the people who work in Jamaica hospital have some great options when it comes to lunch. It'd be nice if they offered a no salad option for those of us who want to fast track our way to heart disease but nonetheless, I digress. I attached two photos, one photo showing the food as soon as I opened it and the other photo after I ate a little of the food and mixed it up so you could see the content of the food better.

Hands down one of my top spots to get mixed over rice. Always go to 86 and 5th in Brooklyn but finally found something better and in queens too sheesh. Brother Ismael always with a smile on his face and chats with everyone. Alhamdullilah, really kind heart and good vibes. Amazing food too, allahumma barik!

The best chicken over rice you can find in New York. Friendly owner gaved me free soda. Great service, eligible price. If you don't come to this cart that means you're missing the greatest opportunity on you're life.

If it wasn’t for the owner coming through for the rescue this review would be around 2-3 stars. The food slaps 100% he cooked the lamb well done as requested and placed an overwhelming amount of white sauce and bbq sauce. The flavor hit on every level and with that being said this is my top favorite halal truck. Me and the boys drove 45 mins to go here so it’s worth unless you want to hear what I got to say next. It depends if the owner still has the elderly man working there because he honestly didn’t do his business any justice. We know they take Uber orders and the elderly man was whipping those orders up as they came while we waited 30+ mins. Not to mention he was also chopping it up on the phone and asked us twice on what our order was. The owner pulled up and took over and made our orders within mins. Owner said he going to look out for us next time so I’m going take him up on that offer real soon. Definitely worth it!
