Sammy's Halal

The combos are best

The Combination Plate was great. Would highly recommend.

My personal favorite for cart food in this area. The onions are too strong though - I always ask for them to not be included.

I used to go to this cart a lot a few years ago but recently I have tried it again and I have to say its the worst cart in NY. The quality has gown very downhill. Their portions are smaller especially their portion of meat. The food does not taste like anything anymore

There are plenty of better options in street vendor foods than this halal cart. The food is covered with unnecessary peppers and onions, not too mention the unsanitary conditions it is prepared in. I understand that sanitary food preparation is not something one should expect when getting food from a street vendor-but finding rocks and grainy pebbles is unacceptable, even for a street vendor.

Gyro sandwich and gyro platter are really good. Get it with extra white sauce. And if you can hang, get extra red sauce, which is extremely hot...even for desis. This cart is sometimes located on 73rd and Broadway and sometimes on 73rd and Roosevelt.

Sammy's used to be a good alternative to GodFather ( 53rd and 6th) but lately their Quality and Quantity of food has gone down. Hopefully they will read this and fix that.

Sammy's used to be really good, but they've gone cheap. They raised the prices and made the portions smaller. This has turned a lot of their regulars off.

Across from Kabab King Diner. Winner of 2006 Vendy Award. Great Gyro platter or sandwich - lamb/beef or chicken. Very well seasoned. Don't forget the sauce - white, hot, and green, they're all good. You'll keep coming back for more. They open 'til 4am, and depending on when you visit, you might have to wait in line - another testament of great food. Light on your wallet as well.

Solid halal. Not much seating if you want to stay. Food was good though. They have a restroom so that’s a plus. Lots of veggies and chickpeas.

Chicken shawarma over rice was really dry, overly seasoned with masala. Also, their prices don't reflect what's on the menu on the TV screen. They added an extra dollar to my order.

Thoroughly enjoyed our take away meal! Very tasty, fresh selections at very reasonable prices. The store is sparkling clean having been opened recently and the service is lovely.

I come here at least once a week, no shame in my game. $8.99 for a HEFTY portion of clean chicken and rice, nothing else to say.

A bit pricey and the food was just ok. Not a place I frequent, but I've been here a few times or had delivered. We didn't try their burgers so can't say much about that but I had their chicken platter, chicken gyro, fries and they were a bit bland. If you're up for it, there's better options nearby for chicken over rice. Def give it a try though

Not bad at all, ordered via Uber eats and they made it quick but most importantly the food was delicious and made well. Salad is not in the pic as it was on the side. Great flavor, the portion is a tad smaller than I’m used too and for the price but understandable for the location. Still solid though

Not the best place in the world, certainly not the worst. Good spot if you’re looking for a cheaper meal

As I’m walking in, I see a gentleman walk out and I kindly ask, is it good? He nods so I proceed to walk in. I wanted something different than just chicken over rice so I opted to try the tandoori chicken wings…little disappointed that a) it’s double the price of a platter dish (was $13.50) and b) I still see some feathers on a few c) presentation? d) the preparer used bare hands to handle raw chicken throwing it into deep fryer and e) literally it was in the deep fryer for less than 45 seconds and he goes ‘it’s Rdy’ when I asked him, how long has this place been open for… It saddens me because when you see it like this, it makes you wonder, what are you eating.
