Kebab Cart

I’m surprised there aren’t more reviews of this place — they’re is ALWAYS a 10 – 15 minute line around lunch-​time. Maybe it’s because it doesn’t actually have a name. Their marketing department should really work on that …
Alas, for $ 6.00 (inc. tax) you can get a medium salad & chicken with a piece of pita bread thrown in the plastic bag. The salad is basically a few chunks of iceberg lettuce, grape tomatoes, onions, green pepper, jalapenos, sprinkled with some feta. The chicken is good and filling, although a little dry. The best part of the deal is their thick, creamy dressing. I’m pretty sure it is TERRIBLE for you — think loads of butter /​mayo /​creamy goodness. But hey you’re putting it on lettuce, so it’s ok, right?

Delicious. Sometimes the meat is a tad on the dry side, but even then I can’t complain. Pick up #9 — salad with a chicken skewer.

Granted, this place is no NY midtown halal cart. ;)
But when I was a faceless downtown drone, I used to stare at the clock waiting for lunch hour to start so I could get my itty bitty taste of freedom from the over-​air-​conditioned maze of cubicles called my office. And in Downtown Crossing, there was a little kebab cart that did chicken kebabs on rice and salad with this unbelievable creamy dressing. I’d order the small chicken and salad, which came with plenty of chicken on a bed of lettuce, tomatoes, onion, cucumber, green peppers, carrots, feta, and hot peppers. The chicken was always pretty dry, but throw it into a half pita with the salad and slather it in the creamy dressing — and BAM! Lunch was never the same again.
Now I’m a faceless grad student, and I still stare at the clock waiting for lunch hour to start. Problem is, there’s no kebab cart with creamy dressing waiting for me downstairs.
