Born and raised in ny this was outrageous! Better than any street cart in ny. I love how the gyro was crispy. The flavors were so perfect, hot and fresh. I got the mix lamb and chicken! Even the vegetables were so fresh!

If you’re looking for some DELICIOUS FRESH food. These guys are the place!! It’s a food truck and the two owners are so pleasant. The food was so good that I basically inhaled it. Everything was very fresh and the meat wasn’t dry!! The hours are Mon - Sat 11-9!

Best Halal Food you’ll find in central Florida for an amazing price. The rice is cooked perfectly, the meat is well seasoned, everything is amazing!! If you’re from New York, just know their chicken over rice will bring you right back. Super kind owner, he definitely remembers his regulars & awesome chef, always plates our food beautifully & packs it nice. Thank you!!!

I work nearby, and had seen this new place mentioned on social media, so I decided to try it out yesterday. I called ahead to place my order and was told it would be about 10 minutes. Shortly after arriving my food was ready and I took it back to my office to eat. The guys working the food truck were very friendly, and seemed eager to get their name out there and also to accept feedback. I ordered the lamb and beef gyro platter, which comes with delicious saffron basmati rice and a small salad. They have two sauces, white and red, and I was warned that the red sauce is a bit spicy, so I asked for it on the side. Everything was delicious! The meat had an excellent flavor, and went perfectly with the rice, salad and pita bread that came with it. The white sauce was phenomenal, and while the red sauce was a tad spicy, I liked being able to put a little on every few bites. Today, when trying to decide where to have lunch, I again ordered from the NYC Cart, as did one of my coworkers. I got the same thing as yesterday, which was still just as good, and she got a large Greek salad with the gyro meat. Her salad looked delicious, with fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, and lots of feta and meat. She couldn't even finish it all. I've been very impressed by this place both times I've eaten there, and it is going to become a regular addition to our lunch rotation.

Google sent me on a circle to get there, but it was worth it because the food is delicious. I had the lamb, beef mixed gyro. I really recommend it. They also have many choices. If you're heading South Lakeland Ave, they're a food truck on the left hand side on the same parking lot as Marathon gas station.

This is by far the best lamb over rice I’ve ever had, maybe even better than the halal trucks in Queens. 10/10. Owner makes everything fresh and in house. Fantastic food habibi.

Tried here for the first time today. Never had falafel, gyros or shawarma before today. I am so sad I’ve never had it before because this food was absolutely delicious! So fresh, so tasty and seasoned so well. The truck so clean and sweet lady and nice super friendly. I will definitely be back for more next week. I’m still full from just eating and thinking about going back there is making me hungry again! Wow!

I was in the area, and Ibe been craving a gyro rice platter. And this was conveniently nearby. The absolute best rice platters I've had! With the sauces, great spice to their red sauce mat it refreshing and the gyro meat, the best I've EVER had!! My spouse said best gyro they ever had aswell i've tried the halal guys in NYC and they don't even compare the this place! It's a little far from where I live but I'll make my way back one of these days for this food truck! Didn't take any pics we were so hungry but looks like what what pics show. And a very good amount of food!
