Truly the best! I have a sensitive stomach and this place always hits the spot! It's run by incredibly kind people, and kept very clean. The line is often long for lunch, but it moves fast. And they accept credit cards now!

Very busy takeaway truck in the wall street area. lots of under 10$ dishes which is really good value for money. The service is super fast, you need to get there with your order ready, and in 2 minutes you are served. Cash only.

This is the best VFM cart offering chicken over rice. Unlike other carts, they've kept their prices very reasonable for the last 6 years. Service is very quick despite huge queues at lunch. The guys are very courteous and actually pay attention to your instructions. And quality has not deteriorated unlike others. Try their Falafel over rice as well. It's wonderful.

Best quality food in the city, always fresh, very nice people. If you make a request or ask for extra chicken or anything they always say yes. And the food is definitely good and the price is 7$ in the city which is crazy !!! Bad tasting carts charge 10 to 12$ but this cart food is best and they only charge 7$. Definitely will recommend to everyone traveling and to the people working in the city.
