I saw the rave reviews and had to try Magdy's… you won't see the name on the cart. Just look at the pictures and you'll find it at 46th and Park. For $6, i got a giant platter of chicken and rice with veggies (mushrooms, onions, peppers, tomato). The line moved really quickly. I'm pleased!
After I read all the Yelp reviews, I told myself that I need to try the food at Magdy's. I been sick of deli food and need to venture out of my neighborhood to get some yummy food for my belly. The line was shorter and moving fast when I stopped by. I told the woman that it was my first time so she handed me a menu…I ordered a Reg Lamb Gyro and gave her the money.
As the line moves up, I tell the guys behind the cart what I want and they asked you if you want toppings with the meat. When I got back to work and open my food, lots of lamb…MMMM!!
I will be back next time to try the Philly Cheesesteak!
the wonderful aromas from this cart draw you to it. The workers here are very efficient at handling the inevitable lines. The chicken and lamb combo over rice with hot and white sauce is solid and will satisfy your hunger for $7. Nice pieces of chicken but the lamb could be better (not as good as halal guys or gussys).I like the caramelized onions and peppers. I'll be sure to get the cheesesteak next time and a double is only $7.
Good cheesesteak for $5, didn't feel like having it over rice, so I got it on a hero with jalapenos, cheddar, and tomatoes.
Without the long line, I would've walked right past this cart because they don't have a sign that prominently displays their name (It's on 47th and Park). The food was good for the price, but nothing that blew my mind.
What did surprise me was that a woman collected my money the moment I stepped on line and then shouted my order incoherently to the two people preparing the food. Initially, I was impressed at how they could understand and remember all the orders she was mumbling, but realized that they probably collected money first to lock people into waiting for their orders, but the line moves relatively quickly so it wasn't too bad. I waited about 15 minutes.
This place has bombdiggaty written all over it. What other chicken and rice cart has chicken & steak & CHEESE over rice?! All for under $6.
The line varies but the wait is pretty quick. You place your order with the lady (I assume Magdy) then move down the line to collect your order.
