Great service and the food is always great especially at a price that is hard to beat. I love their chicken over rice or over salad. They are the second cart from the corner.

I’ve tried them all from the popular Qwik carts to the famous Biryani and countless others. I love street food and have probably sampled close to a hundred Halal carts across Manhattan over the years. This one is my favorite. They offer several veggie options, more preparations of chicken, lamb and fish and make a lot of stuff to order.
I can’t say enough of how much better the quality of their food is vs. the others. My go to lately has been the veggie combo with a hard boiled egg which consists of their fragrant basmati rice, typical salad of iceberg/​tomato, amazing dahl (lentil stew), mix veggies stew, veg samosa triangle topped with squirt of white, green and red sauce and egg for $ 6. Their fish (tilapia) is my other standby which they make to order and is just fantastic.

I get lunch nearly every day from Royal Halal. I like all of the food I’ve tried, but the Chicken Tikka is my favorite. The owner and his wife are very friendly and helpful in choosing from among their specialties. And all for a reasonable price.

There are so many food trucks in New York, but I have to say this has to be one of my favorites. The best part about this place is the couple who works there. How they manage to keep a smile on their faces everyday is beyond me. Sometimes, I come by just to chat with them.

I have worked in Manhattan for over 20 years and have gone to many food trucks. But I have to say they are the best truck to come around in a very long time. I get the chicken tikka almost every day. It is so good and so packed with flavor! My mouth waters just thinking about it. There are so many other great dishes too! The reason the food is so awesome is because of the owner and his wife. They take so much pride in their food and it shows. The ingredients are so fresh. This truck is a cut above all others. The owner is the nicest guy you could ever meet! He will customize the food to your specifications.

I’m a regular this kart. Best Kati roll around. Great flavor. Never disappoints. The chicken tikka over Biryani rice is excellent too. Very affordable and you definitely get your money’s worth.

This has been my go-​to street meat cart for years. They have all of the standard offerings: lamb and chicken over rice, chicken tikka, kebabs, gyro, etc. The meat is good quality and everything is always fresh. Portions are generous and it’s cheap.
The couple who run the cart are really nice, as well. They seem to remember their customers and take pride in their business.

Best street food hands down. I come here consistently at least once a week. Really good service as well! MD Alam is one of the greatest guys in the business.

Best street meat in NYC. My office team orders from this cart at least once a week. The owner and his wife take a lot of pride in the meals they serve.
The food is consistently good and better than some Indian restaurants. This is true Bangladeshi food with food-​cart sauces. What the heck is that white sauce they serve at every cart no matter what kind of food? It’s like they signed a contract with some sinister cartel that they must put the white sauce on everything. It’s the same white sauce!
The biriyani is my favourite but check out the lamb and checked combo. It a dollar more. Feel free to take advantage of their loyalty program — a free meal for every 6 paid.
We have never been disappointed with their regular fare.

Hands down my favorite Halal cart in NYC.
There are so many choices, great Variety. Me and my co-​workers come here several times a week and always are satisfied.
I must admit the quality is much better than other carts and the amount and portions they give are very generous.
Customer service is top notch, you can even call your order in so that its ready for you to pick up.
Competitive prices as well.

Located right next to My Biryani Cart on 6th and 44th St.
The menu is pretty extensive.
Got the lamb Biryani (basically lamb over rice) and it came with a lot of rice with veggies such as sauted onions & peppers, hard boiled egg, a little salad, and some hotsauce/​white sauce. It tasted pretty good, was seasoned well and I liked it. It had a pretty good amount of meat too.
Have also tried a few chicken dishes too… all good.
It came in your typical rectangle shaped white styrofoam for $ 6. Want extra meat? Just a dollar and it gets piled on.
For soda, Cans were $ 1 and bottles $ 2.
As a bonus, you get a stamp card and every 6 meals you get ONE free (like subway).
Not bad!

If this is the truck I think it is, it has moved to 44th & 6th. has become my favorite halal cart in the city. Mainly because of the ever so slight Indian/​Pakistani influence in the way they flavor their meat. Be it the usual gyro meat, chicken kebab, biryani, or the occasionally available chili chicken, they always bring it!

I’m always game to try new places and new food carts, because there are some really good ones out there. The problem however, is that food carts are given sanitary grades such as the restaurants here in NYC. As a result, you take the risk of eating some food that can really mess you up. This halal cart is one of those carts that you don’t want to go to. The food really messed me up. If you like spending a day in the bathroom and and/​or are willing to take the risk, go right ahead. Otherwise, don’t buy the food here. Eat at your own risk.

Looks like Royal Halal has been replaced by Adham’s Halal on the SW corner of W 35th St & Broadway:

This place has THE BEST gyros in the city. Unfortunately, they are no longer at 35th & Broadway. Now, Adham’s has moved in there. If anyone can tell me where they moved to, I would die to know. Other gyros just aren’t the same after you’ve had Royal Halal’s.

I heard about this cart via the midtown lunch «Street-​Meat-​Palooza.» It came in 8th, and it was nearby where I work so i thought I would give it a try.
The lamb and chicken over rice is good. The rice is a whitish basmati, and the meat is good and tender– not a lot of rough or fatty edges. He goes weak on vegetables, which is good if you want a lot of meat + rice– you’re in luck. As for the hot sauce which I had heard was the reason to go, it disappoints. It was good, but it doesn’t have the thickness or the weight to hold up on top of your meat– it becomes less like a sauce and more like spices and some oil that season the meat. Once you’re halfway through, the sauce is completely gone because of this. So If I go back I would ask for maybe twice or thrice the sauce. (I did not have the white sauce)
Still, not a bad option for street meat–
