I am fortunate to have a Halal boys on the corner, across the street from my building...At city college.... The food is great and I think the BBQ sauce and the Yogurt sauce make the dish...Lamb/Chicken over rice.. but it's the guys who run the cart that makes the meal really special. They are two great characters who really appreciate our patronage and always give me a little extra.... Enough food for two meals... Thanks boys
