Soho Halal Guy (Food Cart) — Restaurant in New York

a mainstay of the food cart scene downtown is the SoHo Halal Guy—this cart serves up a variety of sandwiches, meat + rice platter, and other eats. brightly lit tiny cart is located on Broadway and Houston St—serving food to area workers, residents, and tourists from day to late night.

the food is made with care, but doesn’t take tons of time if you’re in a rush. only ordered meat + rice platters here over the years and have always been satisfied with the ample servings. solid spot for Middle Eastern styled meat over rice to-go. ordered the chicken over rice is well-seasoned. the rice is flavorful. typically i get both the white sauce & hot sauce on top. the chicken over rice is $7 + tip

staff is quick and efficient. sometimes service is gruff. overall, if you are looking for lunch or dinner to go and that can be made quickly then this food cart will meet your...

The main thing you need to watch out for is hot sauce. Don't get me wrong, I love hot sauce, but this guy puts SO much on. I ask for "just a little" every time I go and it's still a lot. I considered not going anymore after a few visits where my food was just drenched in hot sauce, to the point that it was completely inedible. Another thing is make sure you're paying the price that's on his menu. I had a friend go here and she got charged $3 more than I pay for...
