43rd and 5th - $4.50
-stuffed to the brim even though "small"
-choice of rice (pictured here, "red"), well-cooked, soft, and flavorful (although I suspect ketchup)
-lots of salad: one side of styrofoam container filled with salad while the other side gets stuffed with meat and rice and other, beware when opening!
-perfect amount of sauce to eat everything together, just how I like it
-lamb possibly too salty?
-other! = onions, peppers, chickpeas(!)...
116th and Lexington - $5.00
-relatively large (bigger styrofoam container but not filled to the brim)
-virtually no salad (2 leaves of lettuce and 1 slice of tomato)
-dry rice
-sauce was unremarkable
Also comes with cart guy who asks my name, where I'm from, if I'm Chinese (?), where I live (??), how old I am (???), whether or not I have a boyfriend (????), and then tells me I should come by again without him...
56th and 6th - $5.00
-not stuffed but as you can see, big styrofoam container
-price bargained to $5 from $6 (yay competing halal carts =D!)
-chicken over rice (not lamb), dry and with bones??
-sauce tasted like Ranch dressing (this falls as a negative for me)
-saving grace = delicious Basmati rice underneath and a healthy serving of salad
To be continued
