The food is good. I like that they don’t put too much cumin in the rice. They are generous with the white sauce, if you don’t tell him to stop he will keep going. When i got there, there was a line, which indicates to me that the food is good. It sure was and hit the spot. I will be returning back when i get the craving.

I was in the area on business and had an hour to kill before I had to be ready for work. I was looking for a quick bite to eat when I happened to pass this food cart in the Key Food parking lot. They had the typical menu you would expect at a halal cart(gyros, platters with rice and vegetables, falfells, etc). I ended up getting a chicken gyro which turned out to be quite good. The chicken was cooked fresh, so it took about 10 – 15 minutes to be ready. The chicken was moist, and the red sauce was spicy, but not over helming, and the white/yogurt sauce was smooth and refreshing. They provided more than enough meat and veggies; they did not skimp. Complaints: the pita bread was very thin, compared to other halal stands I’ve eaten at, and absorbed too much sauce, which caused it to break and become messy. Not the end of the world, but I was eating it in my car in business attire. I would defintly go back to it again if I was in the area.

I live around the corner from this place and have driven by it for months, always curious. I figured they probably have to be decent since they’re ALWAYS there. Well tonight I pulled the trigger. Got a chicken over rice, and it’s great. The sauces are awesome, the rice is fantastic, and it’s a really generous portion.

Super glad to see a consistent food truck in the area. The best time is when the female cook is in the truck. She whips out the fire meals folks. Best to be specific about the amount of sauce you want or else they’ll go to town on you and your bowels. Overall good halal Cash only

Great place to go for a quick bite. Prices are awesome, pretty sure that they are the cheapest gyro’s in town. I had the mixed chicken and gyro over rice with extra white sauce and hot sauce, it was delicious, very filling and only 6 bucks! The truck is very clean and brand new.

I was very happy to see a halal food truck in my town. I love the famous halal cart in the city. I read on a facebook review that Cool Guys was better than the one in the city. After trying Cool Guys, I can honestly say that it was good and that I would definitely come back, but it is not as good as the famous halal cart in the city. My wife and I had a mixed platter with gyro and chicken, a chicken platter, and a falafel platter. The chicken was a little dryer than I would have liked and I didn’t love the texture of the falafel. The gyro however, was very good. The rice was covered in spices which gave it an interesting texture. The sauces where great, in fact they were the best part. This place is definitely worth a try for a quick meal, so check them out.
