Farook Halal Food: Reviews & Ratings
I'm absolutely here for the halal cart renaissance. Street carts have been a cornerstone of the NYC food scene even since before THE Halal Guys in the early 2000s. We've strayed from the path but with the help of halal cart-fluencers, we're getting back on track. Farook's cart has been out front of the old Trader Joe's forever and hasn't dropped in quality. What doesn't photograph well sure tastes amazing. Run, don't walk, to your nearest halal cart before the craze inevitably hits.
I'm not really into halal food. I've tried all the big-name places in NYC, and they didn't do much for me. But Farook? It's on another level. The bread is super fresh, cut into perfect little squares like he actually cares. The lettuce is crisp, and the sauces are more than just solid. The meat, especially the lamb and chicken combo, is seasoned really well. Portion was huge. Not sure if the man was Farook but he was very nice!
Amazing, huge portions for like 7/8 dollars, delicious and flavorful. I ordered the lamb on rice and it was PACKED.
This is a very excellent halal cart with no lines compared to the more famous ones. This is definitely an up and coming halal cart that challenges even the super popular one that is Adels. I got the combo over rice with white sauce, and the combo is a combination of chicken and lamb. The total was $8, paid with cash, for such a large amount of food. Aside from the meat, there is a generous amount of rice, lettuce, and chopped pita bread. The pita bread is very soft and topped with white sauce, yet it was not soggy. I did not consume immediately as I was in a rush to run some errands and go back to my friend's place, but even the food sitting in the takeout box for 45 minutes did not diminish the quality by much, if at all. If you only had to choose one, I would go with lamb as the texture is much softer and it is more flavorful. If you don't have the dedication or time to queue up the more famous halal carts, this is a very very viable and comparable halal cart!
The best halal food in the city. Fight me. I have my fair share of halal in the city and Farook is absolutely number one... in taste, and amount you get and in price! His service is fast too and you also can order from him on the delivery apps.
Absolutely banging, straight fire flames, go there don't look back. Almost want to keep it a secret. Combo over rice is $8 and dude loaded me up with meat. It was a massive portion. I asked for white sauce and he gave me the appropriate amount which is to say, a lot lol. Best halal cart I've been to, blows the others out of the WATER. You can pay with cash or with Venmo for a $1 surcharge. Guy working (maybe Farook himself) was really nice. Not that I would care, he could have spit in my face and I'd still come back the food was that good. But a nice little bonus. Maybe the best meal you'll have in nyc for under $10 tbh.
A solid late night spot! Fast service, flavorful halal meat, and filled to the brim with meat, rice, and pita. As far as spicy goes (I used to be able to handle spicy, but not so much anymore), it was enough to where I felt the spice but not enough to have me sweating.
Best Halal food you can find on this planet Everything is so perfect and the servings are huge
Fantastic halal cart! I love the falafel over rice here, so much flavor and actually spicy if you want it to be. The owner is a super nice guy. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the neighborhood.
After a long night out for a friend's birthday, I made my way back to the train. I was quite hungry, so I decided to stop at a food truck for some food. This one was well reviewed, and boy was I in for a treat! A bunch of the locals in line were telling me how great this truck is, they'd all been coming here for years because it was the best one. And boy was it amazing, this may have been the best food truck meal I've ever had. The chicken was so flavorful, juicy & tender. The rice was done to perfection & well seasoned, and the white sauce provided a nice creaminess to complement the flavors & spices on the chicken & rice. It was a great amount of food for a very reasonable price, and an amazing amount of flavor for the price. If I lived in NYC I would come here as often as I could
