“ Incredible food at a reasonable price! The lamb over rice is wonderful and your order is done quickly. Would absolutely recommend! ”
“ I actually think Sayyed’s halal cart in Amherst is better than NYC halal carts! For 8 or so you get a portion so large, with so much lamb, chicken, or falafel, that you can eat in two meals. Street food is one big thing the American food scene is generally missing, and also what many international students crave! So let’s support local food trucks! Food trucks are so awesome!! (I’m so glad he upgraded the truck a couple years ago so he didn’t have to stand outside when it’s too cold or too hot.) ”
“ I was sleeping on this spot for a while, but I went here back in December and the food was proper. Just legit meat and rice with white and hot sauce just like any great halal cart would, insane prices and a huge amount of tasty food. Genuinely cannot go wrong, give bro your business, it's great. ”

“ Food is great for a wonderful price and it’s extremely underrated! The vendor is super kind and there is a great variety of food! ”
“ Every time I got a chance to be in Amherst I make sure I stop by and grab me a chicken over rice with extra white sauce. Soo delicious. I am not going to lie it is not as good as New York Halal food carts but it is still very good. The price is 6 dollars for a full foil dish of grilled chicken broccoli and onion with a layer of lettuce and white sauce. The food halal cart also offers other choices but not everything That's advertised on the cart. ”
“ One of my favorite eats in the Amherst area. The white and red sauce add a nice spice and flavor to the meats, and the meats are juicy and tender on the inside. I always get the combo over rice, and it comes with good portions of meat. He primarily takes cash only, and there may be a line but you can also call ahead. Prices are affordable and cheap for the portion size. There is only bench seating nearby for the church, and it may get a bit cold waiting here in the winter, but it’s worth it. ”
