Essa's Famous Halal Food has been our go-to halal meal for a few years now and by that, I mean it's really that good! So many different parts to it, the texture of the broccoli, sauteed onions, pita bread, the chicken and lamb shawarma just melts in your mouth. Just go and try it. It is not even comparable to nearby halal food! Essa, he's such a well mannered man and will always aim to give you the best halal food you can find, right on Broadway and Queens Blvd. (Really though, probably for half mile around him, no other halal compares) Essa, keep it going, brother! Gyro from Cairo!

This is truly a one of a kind experience, not only is the food amazing but being made by probably the nicest guy you could meet giving a smile with every service. The go to order for my brother and I have always been the combo over rice, and the amount of care and detail Essa puts into the meal, from watching him season the food, to very generous portions, you won't regret going here! Most carts have a similar taste when you order, but if you want to be venturous and try something new and flavorful, come to Essas, it truly is the Best Gyro from Cairo!

This halal food truck is way better than adels!! It's crazy how value and good the food is here. I've been coming here for months now and every friend I recommend this truck to loves it! The serving size and quality of the food is just unbeatable! It's definitely the best halal in the city! The service is top notch the boss works from 8pm to 8am and he's one of the nicest and hard working owner I know You guys have to try out this spot Highly recommend the combo over rice with white and hot!

Oh man, where do I start ‘ESSAS FAMOUS HALAL’ . Honestly the man himself Essa ,he is such a kind ,generous more importantly a humble person . Every interaction I have with him feels so positive and heartwarming . Essa himself is a really good guy . I remember one time I was running home late but on the way I stopped to get ESSA’s food but after I ordered I checked my wallet and found out I didn’t have enough , so what did Essa do he said it’s fine buddy here you go and gave me the food and said next time help someone in need and repay them instead . And talking about the food , it’s really so mouthwatering and will fill ur taste buds and yea all The foods are really good I would recommend trying everything cuz ESSA’s made food are delicious. Everytime I meet him and have an interaction he reminds how much of a good person I can be .

I would’ve had a picture or video, but it was honestly finished too quick. I’m an avid halal eater and I’ve had platters from all over the city, especially in Queens. I can confidently say this is the absolute best halal cart that I’ve tried in Queens and has been added to my all-time Mt Rushmore. The owner is extremely nice and helpful taking into consideration it was my first time there and recommending me what was best. The spicy rice and meat was aromatic and flavorful plus the amazing sauces on top to complete. I will 100% be back and be telling my local friends in Queens about this, absolutely amazing...

The food here is great and Essa is a great guy to talk too when you order, but the recent price hike is a little bit too much for me. The chicken over rice went from 5 to 8 to now 9, at first I didn’t mind. There has to come a point were the price has to stop. The food itself is really good and all and the service is great, I can’t even complain about the chicken since Essa always gives more chicken then rice. But at this rate I don’t think I’ll be able to visit Essa’s that often. I still recommend you give it a try here and there, but overall the price point is the only bad thing...
