No name cart (Water and Hanover)

This cart has no sign but lots of food photographs in a strange 70s-looking palette. There's a sign proclaiming "Basmati Rice!" So, I'm hopeful that at least the rice will be better than average. I order the "curry chicken" thinking that maybe it will be different from the usual - most halal vendors just list "chicken" on their menus. Unfortunately the chicken and rice turns out to be the same dish available everywhere, and it doesn't have a lot of flavor - the chicken is kind of bland and fatty, and the basmati rice has only the palest hint of basmati aroma. The hot sauce is different though, very vinegary - the one nice surprise from the no-name cart.
