  Totally more than 5-Star worthy! Sammy's is the perfect combination of savory and spice.
  
  I'm only here in NY for a couple days and heard about Sammy's- specifically their amazing sauces- on several YouTube foodie channels and other reviews I read. I knew it would have to be one of the first stops I made. My husband and I arrived around 7:30pm on a Sunday evening. There were about 3 people in front of us.  We waited only 5-10 min to place our order. The guys were really friendly and worked quickly to get our food ready. We found a seat on the edge of a nearby planter to eat. No need to add sauces, Sammy's puts them on for you. That combination of the red, white and green sauces was addicting! So so good!  The chicken and rice was abundant and flavorful. The little bit of salad was needed spice relief and welcomed for me but if you don't want it, ask them to leave it out. Sammy's has canned sodas and bottled water offered to go with your meal too.
  
  I'm going to be sad to leave NY and not have access to this food cart at home. Sammy's, please bottle your sauces so I can take them home with me!

  I ventured off to this place a few years ago and it wasn't bad. However on my most recent visit I was highly disappointed. As kind of a self proclaimed halal specialist and ventured off to many halal carts in and around the city. Sammy's definitely doesn't come close to a top contender. I thought that the quantity was fairly poor and also the quality of the chicken and gyro meat was appalling.
  
  Maybe back in the day these guys used to be the king in queens however they don't stand a chance. Basic low quality halal spot overall.

  Strong attention to detail, even late night. Great food and employees here are really friendly and thoughtful.
  
  They clearly care about their reputation and the product they produce.

  Here's the deal. Food was good but could have been better IF I got everything I asked for. Basically I ordered on post-mates and the app only gives you the option to choose either hot sauce or white sauce not both. So I checked the box for white sauce and in the special instructions put red sauce. Well the red sauce never came and halal doesn't taste as good without hot sauce. Totally ruined my meal. Anyways, I called Sammy's and the guys were yelling in the background and he said I didn't ask for hot sauce. (I attached a photo here) then he said he sent it - which he didn't (again, photo attached here). Then he said he can't do anything and hung up on me. Contacted postmates and they said they can't do anything about it either. With tax and delivery I legit spent $26 on a meal that should have only cost $16 if I would have gone there myself. ANYWAY if you want Sammy's DO NOT ORDER FROM THERE and I have sworn off postmates for good . Those guys suck

  Amazing!! Being from out of town, whenever you hear about Halal, you think of Halal guys. I found Sammy's to be much better than that! Their rice is so perfectly cooked with the right level of spice. The chicken was tender and the white sauce they have is so unbelievably delicious that I could have drank it. The prices were extremely reasonable and I left full. No complaints here and I will be ordering again soon!
