Adel's Best Halal (Front Street at Maiden Lane)



I like the extra vegetables mixed in here, and the bonus piece of falafel (which was great). The chicken was minced, much smaller pieces than usual, and was of pretty high quality. The downside is that the chicken wasn't very spicy and didn't taste like it had been marinated very long. The hot sauce added some flavor, though. While not worth a detour, I would try Adel's again if it were closer to my office. Based on the bonus tasty falafel ball thrown in with my chicken, I would try the falafel sandwich next time.

(I think I freaked them out a little when I took a picture of the cart, sorry guys! There was all sorts of police activity, plainclothes guys with earpieces lurking around, and military helicopters flying and hovering about today. The President of the United States of Amurka, here for the UN general assembly, uses the heliport one block away from here. I think we saw Marine 1 and 2, with two scary-looking military chopper escorts, taking off while we ate our lunch.)

NO - DO NOT EAT THEIR BEEF KABOBS! I just bought one, they didn't even put it in a bag, hot sauced dripped all over my coat and pants, then after washing up i tried to eat it and it tasted like absolute shit. I could hardly even bite through it, was all hard and crusty, and tasted like what I imagine DOG FOOD would taste like. I threw it out---if i had eaten it i'm sure i'd be in the hostpital with food poisoning they shouldn't be able to sell it. AVOID ADEL'S!!!
