The best falafel I've ever had. Get the freddie junior platter (chicken/kefte) with both sauces. Don't worry. They'll throw in a bonus falafel with your order.

These guys are kings not just because they picked a cool name, they earned it! Never miss the falafel and mix it with the beef shawarma it's a mix from heaven.

Kayla Barber

It is all amazing! I ordered the chicken shawarma , it was a HUGE portion with great flavors. The guys working were very helpful and had the biggest hearts around.

Kev Skinny

This food truck is worth driving long distances to. Falafel is great. Get the shwarma on a hero with the works.

Hands down the best halal cart in New York. Every platter is awesome, so mix it up among the chicken , beef kebab , and shwarma options.

Falafel and shwarma combo is the way to go for a quick tasty lunch .

Serious Eats

One of the best halal carts in the city , with homemade shawarma and incredible falafel .

The beef swarma sandwich is consistently good. I prefer more white sauce than the 50/50 split hot sauce .

“Worst shawarma & very rude behaviour”I have tasted shawarma 's in whole NY,but this was the worst I ever had. It was hot from outside but inside was super cold & with less chicken.Very disappointing
