“I love the food it’s tasty and delicious. Great service & excellent staff. Only thing is that there’s only enough sitting for 20 people. This does not stop people from taking out food. I always like to eat in. I love this place 5 stars for me ?Vegetarian options: Only falafel, salad, hummusWheelchair accessibility: Enough space at end table for wheelchair“
“My kids, who are young, don't even like falafel. They each inhaled three (one complimentary at the truck, and two from the kabab platter) and it really is the best falafel I've ever had. I'm sad we didn't get to try the beef kabab but they were basically sold out of almost everything, so we had the chicken and it was AMAZING. I've passed by this truck multiple times when I come into Queens to visit my parents and never tried it and now I don't think I can ever go home without buying some to take with me.“
“This place feels like a true NYC grab and go shop. First of all the food is excellent. So good. So fresh. Packed with TONNES of flavour. It’s also really well priced for how much food you get. Just good authentic middle eastern cuisine.But it’s more than that - when we visit we try to stop by because the family that owns it is just great. They make conversation. Remember your order. Talk to you like your family. Just great vibes all around.“
“The last time I passed by the bright green food truck parked on the corner of 31st and Ditmars, I had just eaten a massive meal at Hamido's but I made a mental note to return because the food smelled so good even from across the street. I recently was able to return, with an empty stomach, to try the King of Falafel & Shawarma. The vendor greeted me with a falafel to try, and I immediately noticed it was oval shaped. It did taste significantly crunchier, which I am attributing the larger surface area to, and the spices were fantastic. I had my heart set on trying their kefta but unfortunately by the time I arrived late Saturday evening, they were out of everything except their chicken and falafel, so I had a platter of that instead ($12). My plate was absolutely packed and smothered with their white sauce (highly recommend the red sauce as well as it packs a subtle punch), and the salad was a very welcome addition to the rice and mound of marinated and shaved chicken shawarma. There is so much flavor packed in every single bite, and the way the chicken was marinated definitely sets it apart from other shawarma carts I've tried thus far. Everyone I spoke to, including the other patrons waiting for their order, had only amazing praises to sing for KoF and I can easily understand why. I'm very happy to discover that they also have a truck on 53rd and Park, as Astoria is a bit of a trek for me.PS- An update: I have now finally managed to sample their chicken and beef shawarma, as well as their kefta too. My favorite still remains the chicken shawarma, which edges out the beef because it remains juicer and better marinated. I found the kefta a little too dry for my preference and it lacked that smoky grilled flavor. If you are going to order one thing, get their chicken or chicken and falafel platter with white sauce, red sauce, and extra tahini. And maybe a side order of falafels (4 for $3 to munch on the way home).“
“This place is one of kind. My dad, who passed away, 3 years ago studied for his actuarial exams here in the 80s. My family and myself frequently come here for pizza and Israeli food. This place brings back so many fun memories of my childhood. My son loves the pizza here. The falafel tastes great, coating is nice light and flaky, like many other falafel, I’ve eaten. Prices remained reasonable throughout all of these years. Planning on coming here as long as this place is opened.“
“It was even better than I remembered it to be, last weekend I visited NY and this spot was the only place on my wish list. When I was living in NY, I used to eat from this location atleast once a week. The guy was very friendly and he got my order correct, he gave a generous portion all around. If you are a fan of Halal cart food, this is certainly the place to go.“
“YOU HAVE TO TRY ZAHID’S HALAL FOOD!! The best halal food I have ever had. Juicy chicken and lamb with perfectly seasoned rice.. goes great with the white and hot sauce. The service was great, my food was prepared exactly to my likings. Food and service are incomparable to other halal spots. Don’t just take my word for it, try it yourself ;)“
“Ordered delivery from here today and was blown away by how good the food was and how big the portions were for the price that I paid. I had the Mediterranean chicken burrito and I scarfed it down so fast, it was so yummy. It also came with a side of lentil soup which was amazing! Their carrot protein muffins are to die for too, my son ate his so quickly. This will be my new go-to for healthy wholesome food. Wish I had ordered from here sooner!“
“it was amazing!! The proportions of the chicken and rice were in large amounts. The chicken was cooked well and the rice was soft. The salad on the side was very fresh. Overall I recommend this place for kids and adults. The spice levels canbe altered by asking for little hot sauce and more white sauce. The price is affordable and it is ready in less than 10 minutes.“
