At $6 for a box of meat on rice varieties, you can't complain. Love that they offer the combination box with chicken, lamb, falafel, and fries. Its proximity to the medical center makes this halal cart a hit.
Sitting out front of the hammer library at Columbia Medical center is a sneaky little cart. It's camouflaged to look just like an ordinary, run of the mill halal stand……Oh but it's so much more. I love street food, doesn't matter where I've been in the world I know for a fact that the best chow I'm going to find is served up by the guy sitting inconspicuously on a street corner. And that guy, who is serving me the local flavor of the local city, probably knows his city better than any guide book I could possibly hope to get my hands on. These guys are no exception. Starting with the food: PERFECT representation of New York halal. They do it better than anyone I know of – yeah I'm looking at you halal guys in midtown. The lamb is perfect the bread is crispy, and the white sauce is laid down like they guy is painting a Van Gogh. Moving on to the guys themselves, they are funny and helpful. Need to know where you are? What time the next bus or subway is coming? You've come to the right place. I know it seems strange to write such a rave review for a street cart, but this is no ordinary halal.
Be warned: if you bring this back to your office / study lounge, prepare to answer "oh my god what is that and where can I get some", by every person who walks by you. Seriously.
