Stopped to get a quick meal and Mohammed who was working there noticed I didn’t have a jacket and told me to shelter in the truck door while he got the meal ready! So thoughtful and amazing food, especially for price.

Food is 10x better and cheaper than food in the Aloft hotel or anywhere, for that matter. (Althought the Aloft food was good as well) Lamb gyro, lamb over rice, mozzarella sticks .. all loaded and the best tasting I have had, at a low price I wasn't expecting because every food cart we stopped at over in Manhatten price gouged us.

I had the best soft omelette with tomatoes and onions in a croissant! Their chopped cheese is also the best in the city!

This cart was my most visited spot on my recent stay to this area. The falafel is cooked perfectly, possible one of the best falafel's I've had. They're open 24 hours very friendly and reasonable prices. I would highly recommend this spot for a quick, delicious bite.
