"White sauce and red sauce?"

For over 3 decades, New York City has been the home of halal trucks and the people who serve them, feeding millions of residents and tourists alike. However, following an active thread in r/AskNYC comparing favorite halal trucks, it became clear that there needs to be a community for all fellow NYC lamb/chicken/falafel over rice enthusiasts to discuss the best and worst white/red sauces, meats, rice, side salads, and halal guys around the city. These trucks and hardworking employees are such a fabric of the local communities and neighborhoods, that the city would be unrecognizable without them.

And so it's time we gave back - through building recognition for the top spots, enthusiasm to convert non-street-food eaters to learn what they're missing out on, and most importantly, encouraging tips for the employees that are mostly immigrants from developing countries working night and day without health benefits and livable wages.

We’re looking forward to building this community together, and can't wait to host more events around the city that promote business for the very best street food options this city has to offer.

Please send us a DM on our Instagram with your favorite spots and orders, join our subreddit, and feel free to suggest anything you'd like us to add! We love engaging with fellow halal food fans, and can only find the best trucks with your help!
