Adel's Famous Halal - New York City

Ok yes the ques are around an hour to forty-five minutes long however, it is so worth the wait Adele's famous is by far the best halal food in NYC. If you like great food and don't mind a long wait do it. It's so affordable and the portion size is super generous. I highly recommend Adele's famous halal food cart.

The food is good but the line is way too long. Have to wait there for 2 hours just to get food.

Not worth 2-3 hours wait for this gyro!! I do not recommend due to the extremely long line and for most people they love gyro with more chicken and less rice but I prefer a balance of chicken to rice. This gyro barely had rice and everything was an extra charge.

Ready to wait in the long line for at least one hour. The gyros are worth the wait.

Been hearing about this place for a while and wanted to know what the hype is all about. Being in the vicinity, I finally decided to try out Adel's halal and honestly it was worth it. You'll be greeted by a long waiting line and the wait time exceeds over an hour so one must definitely be patient enough for their turn to grab the food! Even the people passing the cart were asking about what the people were waiting for? Only to be surprised to know about the cart! Coming over to the food, one can smell its aroma from a little distance and that's where the hunger kicks in, being a cart it definitely doesn't have any ambiance/atmosphere as such or can say the vibe is lively given the location they are based! The service is good and they try to deliver food quickly to you! The best part is they do accept card payment. Initially I had to ask them regarding this before waiting in the line as I didn't carry any cash! I ordered chicken over a saffron rice platter with fries and sauce on the side. The fries were crispy enough whereas the chicken was nicely marinated in spices and was really flavorful and tender, didn't expect it to be this tasty! The basmati rice was fluffy and moist enough with the right amount of saffron flavor in it whereas the pita bread was really soft but I didn't understand why they put it in the bottom of the platter, took a while to realize it was there! The white sauce was really good too, I don't think I have tasted a better white sauce than this whereas the red sauce was mildly spicy which I felt was the best at least according to my taste buds! Overall it was a great experience and I did understand why this place currently is on the top of halal cart pyramid than the Halal guys who share a rich legacy about the same in NYC! I hope to try out their spicy rice someday while also hoping they keep their quality intact!
