Video: NYC FOOD CART TOUR: Halal Gyro Express

While most halal carts in this city are owned by Egyptian, Pakistani, or Bangledeshi immigrants, Halal Gyro Express stands out from the crowd with their Afghan flavors. The owner Ali has almost 10 years experience working on a food cart and draws long lines at lunchtime because of their extraordinary lamb chops and chicken tikka.
