First of all I would like to give a shout out to Unilocal for making me an Elite’14. I won’t stop writing Reviews and giving Ratings to places that I venture into. Secondly Halal Food here is the Bomb! This is one of my Goto spots for authentic cheap and fantastic Quality food… Newbe Unilocalers please take note. If you are in the Brooklyn Area you can catch the B44, B103 Busses or take the 2 or 5 Train last stop to BK College and walk to the Food Trucks. They are 2 of them on the corner. For people who drive you can park in the Target Parking lot in the back. If you arrive early from 8am-10am you’ll pay only $ 7 for the Day or you can just Park around Avenue H or anywhere else that isn’t Metered. There is Bike Racks available for people who ride Bikes as well and it’s not too far walking Distance for people who live or attend school(Brooklyn College Midwood High School) within the area. So in closing I’ll catch you all later let me go rest and preserve my stomach for tonight. You may see me in Fort Greene Park slope or East Flatbush eating elsewhere.

There are 2 carts on avenue H. literally only yards from each other. The review is for the one that is closer to Nostrand avenue. The other one is called Sahara and this one doesn’t really have a name – it just says halal and has a bunch of pictures of food! I hate to do this but anytime, I take my health in my hand, and try street meat, I always subconsciously compare it to the cart on 53rd and 6th. Hands down, I think the 53rd and 6th cart has the best white sauce and rice around(well as far as street vendors go!) and thats saying a lot because I am a rice snob! But this halal cart, gets a 5⁄5 for their lamb! its tasty, tender and cut into perfect portions. I am also pretty pleased with their white sauce. I am always surprised at how hot the hot sauce in these carts can be. Don’t get me wrong, I am a practical fire eater so I can appreciate the heat, but even I would say that it must be used in moderation. While this isn’t the hottest hot sauce I’ve tried,(once again – that honor goes to 53rd and 6th}, it is definitely in the running. If you’re not one who enjoys the taste of fire, I’d advise you to skip the hot sauce. My main gripe is that the rice is a bit more grainy than I’m used to, but it isn’t a dealbreaker. Anyway, I’m accustomed to having pita with my lamb over rice, but since that is not automatically included with this platter, I had to ask for it. Instead of just cutting the pita into quarters and putting it in the tray like I expected, he threw it on the grill, lightly doused it in white suace, warmed it up, cut it up into slivers, put it on top of the rice and finished it off with more of that adductive white sauce! Perfection! Needless to say, i was pleased! IDK if he charged me an extra .50 cents because I asked for the pita, but all this yummy goodness, with a complimentary soda, came out to only $ 6.50. My favorite thing about the cart though is that its sooo close to home! It is located at the Flatbush junction right in front of the Triangle Junction or as most people know it, the Target mall, so I’m sure it is very convenient for many people. Whenever I have the hankering for a lamb platter, which is getting to be pretty often!, I’m glad that I do not have to trek to the city anymore – this cart is a much appreciated and quite delicious alternative for my usual haunts: 28th and madison or 53rd and 6th!
