They have really good food! My favorite dish to get is the Chicken over rice! It's delicious and cheap! A soda can or water is free which is pretty cool. They also have delicious CheeseSteak! I eat halal so I love those stands! Update: When I wrote this review, the chicken/lamb over rice was $7, obviously time has changed and because of the economy, it’s now $10 snd you can still get a drink for free. I recommend ordering from the two stands on your left just because they are really kind people and would always add extra if you kindly ask. Today I ordered from the last stand closer to Cottman (on your right) and when I asked if I can get a drink, he denied. It’s not just about getting it for free, it’s about kindness.

The food is amazing..now I have been frequenting 2 trucks since the early 80's and the service has never change, the Food has changed slightly, but for the better. He has the chix pea salad that is amazing...I always get falafel over rice with lots of salad. My favorite. My kids get shrimp and chicken over rice...we Love it..forgot to me tonight the cooks are super friendly. Going hete is like going to the Barbee shop or nail salon..they listen and converse with you. Great food and Great Conversation

Pretty solid chicken and rice place for $8 with a soda as of when this is posted. Plenty of parking available at the pc Richards lot

Was so excited to be back in the area to finally get fish, shrimp & rice. Went here because my usual place was not open. A little disappointed. It was ok but had a different taste than what I remember. No fault of theirs. Maybe I was just used to the cart location I previously frequented. Didnt really like the location. Too many young people loitering in parking lot.

The guy who was working was very friendly and helpful. He allowed myself and kids to try some food before buying as we never ate there before and I am quite picky. The rice was tasty, the chicken was delish and the amount given was perfectly filling. One order lasts myself 2 meals. And 1 order is large enough to split between 3 4yr olds. My husband enjoy the fish and rice one (I think it had a 2nd meat but I forget ) but he gets food from there often

The best, and affordable!! I come all the way from jersey for this

The chicken and lamb over rice platter with red and white sauce never disappoints
