Mediterranean Grill Truck

Unlike the other reviewer here, Harvey C., i’ve experienced many trucks and carts since you cannot find chicken and lamb over rice at restaurants, but i’ve come to the same conclusion, this place is not good. I went with the large gyro platter which is about the same size as a platter at any other cart, only $ 3 more. The gyro was really bland and the white sauce didn’t help. The white sauce was so watery that it didn’t really have a taste. Thank god the rice and salad tasted great. The salad was really fresh and had a great dressing, probably the best part, and that’s sad.

I was walking around Manhattan and stumbled across the truck with its two vertical rotisserie spits. I was glad to see this cooking method as I’ve grown tired of the lamb discs which are usually grilled and chopped into little itty bitty pieces at numerous carts. But after eating my meal, I was still left disappointed…
I ordered a large gyro platter for $ 8:
1. meat: It was very flavorful and juicy. But it might have been too juicy as the meat had a pasty texture in my mouth which I did not like. I was also disappointed by the way the meat was cut because i was expecting longer pieces. As you can see, I wound up with something which wasn’t much larger than the food cart pieces…
2. salad: the tomatoes, lettuce, and onions were good as it was accompanied by a nice dressing. It was superior to most of the cart salads
3. rice: this was the star of the plate as the rice was so TASTY~!!!
It also came with a pita:
I cut it in half and tried to make a sandwich with my platter. It didn’t work out well as the pita was too thin and flimsy. The pita therefore didn’t add much value to me.
The platter’s white sauce was good:
It had a pretty strong minty flavor which made it refreshing. However the novelty wore off by the time i finished my meal.
Summary: This was my first food truck meal as I’ve always found that a comparable or better meal can be found at a restaurant. I still feel that way as excellent rice and a good salad isn’t enough for me.
