" As a halal enthusiast, I’ve tried countless places, but nothing compares to The NYC Cart. I’ve been going weekly, and every single dish delights my taste buds. The Mediterranean salads are fresh, and the baklava has the perfect sweetness. The portions are solid—enough to satisfy without feeling overstuffed. Plus, the owners are genuinely lovely people who truly care about their customers. You’re missing out if you haven’t tried this gem yet! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing all the hype, I finally visited The NYC Cart and I was not disappointed. The chicken shawarma was juicy and well-spiced. The atmosphere of the food truck felt casual and welcoming, perfect for a quick meal. The only downside was that I wished the menu had more vegetarian options, but the flavors were authentic, and I'll definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Each visit has been a delight! The chicken over rice is just as good as the carts in NYC. Not only have they managed to replicate the flavors, the quality of the ingredients is top notch. Portions could be a bit larger, but I don't mind given how good everything tastes. Service is always friendly and welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited today and was really looking forward to trying their chicken over rice. It lived up to the hype! The chicken was flavorful, and the portion size was generous. The only thing that could improve would be the atmosphere since it’s just a food truck. Nonetheless, the taste makes it worth it. Can't wait to go back and try more menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is remarkably good! The chicken kebabs are juicy, while the spices take you right back to the streets of NYC. However, the seating area can be a bit cramped due to the food truck setup—but that doesn't take away from the authentic experience! Next time I’ll try their desserts. " (*Curated Review*)

" Very satisfying! The NYC Cart has authentic flavors at reasonable prices. The chicken shawarma wrap was packed with flavor and the portion was generous. It’s nice to have this food option in Lakeland, and I’ll definitely recommend it to others. Great service too! " (*Curated Review*)

" The NYC Cart offers an authentic taste of New York halal cuisine. I tried both the lamb and chicken platters, and they were both so good! The white sauce was the best I've had! The staff were professional and friendly. I cannot fault the quality of the food or the level of service here. Highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates good halal food! " (*Curated Review*)
