Yep, it's called Tzatziki. Stuff is so good, I had a Falafel gyro with extra Tzatziki for lunch today. Too good man.

The white sauce at 53rd and 6th is NOT tzatziki sauce. The halal sauce is mayo based.

And yes, the cart across the street (the south east corner of the intersection) is the same food.


Yeah it's not Tzatziki. It's definitely mayo based. I've heard people say there is probably some ranch dressing in there as well.

And the cart across the street is NOT the same food.....I don't need more people figuring that out.

mayo based?
I've had these all over NY and never one with a mayo based sauce.

I think all the fatties may just eb attracted to the mayo.

Similar to how McD's and BK fry their fries with beef flavor additives in the oil.

During the day the 53rd and 6th cart is in a different place than in the picture dirty posted. It's on the opposite side of 6th ave (opposite the hilton).They also have a 2nd cart during the day on 53 and 7th in the far left corner if your walking from 6th. You can tell its them by the yellow bags with redwriting on them or the yellow shirts (the fake guys during the day also started wearing yellow shirts but don't have writting on them). Their umbrellasalso say like halal guys or something.

They are the most popular cart but haven't been the best for some time...Check out midtownlunch.com for some of the better carts...Also the venddy's

For those wondering, if it's a halal stand, it may have mayo but mid-east and south asian foods use a lot of plain yogurt in foods so that may be the mainingredient to that base sauce... just a guess (for all i know it is 90% mayo at that stand

)
definitiely NOT greek based

I was referring to the yogurt/cucumber based sauce he stated, not white sauce.

I saw them make the white sauce once, mayo mixed with water and some pepper, nasty, but it tastes good

I ask because it looks like a very lucrative business venture and I would think more people would try to exploit, or rather--invest, in the opportunity/business.

...

I was reading that they need to pay rent on their locations and popular locations have a very expensive rent. The hot dog stand in front of the Museum of Natural History, for instance, pays almost $600,000 a year to have that spot. It's crazy. Yeah and I'm pretty sure you need a license.

Wait...so that would mean that these guys are clearing minimum $600,000 a year...

And that's for the hot dog cart, which charges what--$2.50 for a dog. These figures make you wonder just how much these Halal vendors are clearing now considering the majority charge anywhere from $5 to $8 a platter.

...

Business is struggling now though. It's pretty serious though. Here is an article similar to the one I read.

Eating food from different cultures FTW! Would love to try some.

 

[xilegacy]

If you didn't know. The one across street is the same food/same people minuse the lines. I don't ever wait on that stupid line. There are a few but theone that you walk up towards the line, across the street is the same. Don't waste your time waiting in that line, %%%$ is for tourists. I remember I tookmy cousin there and he wouldn't believe it's the same because people weren't waiting in line.
