575297 Tue Nov 25 14:48:03 -0800 2008 12 28 Kosher 0 4201749 Anybody know anything about the new food cart at 44th street and 6th avenue called Kosher Oasis? Tue Nov 25 14:48:03 -0800 2008 120967 meateater 1 4202743 BS"D My bro-in-law jusr emailed me today about this very topic. The teudah says that the hechsher is Rabbi Avner Bitton, a musmach of Torah Vodaath and a talmid of Rav Belsky. He requested that I ask Rav Belsky if this is good, and report back to him. So I'll try to do it this week or next, and I guess I'll report my findings here as well. Tue Nov 25 23:24:23 -0800 2008 4201749 23013 ganeden 1 4202961 Just two blocks from the falafel cart? (That's on 46th, isn't it?) Couldn't they spread them around a bit? Wed Nov 26 05:39:51 -0800 2008 4201749 16064 zsero 1 4203866 Just checked it out but only went pareve awating Craig's report on the credentials of the unkown (at least to me) Rabbi Bitton. Don't know how long they've been around, but it looks like they haven't gotten their act together yet. Service was slow and the server did not understand my question about pareve. Menu items I noticed are schnitzel on baugette; (3 different versions), shwarma, falafel, french fries, onion rings. Falafel was good although there was no techina. Similar to the now defunct House of Pita. Prices are average. The guy whom I believe is the owner kept picking up his sweat pants...not an appetizing site but probably should not reflect on the food! Wed Nov 26 11:36:19 -0800 2008 4201749 16307 Himishgal 2 4237821 BS"D Sorry, people, I just haven't had time yet to contact Rav Belsky to ask. Perhaps by next week. Wed Dec 10 22:53:18 -0800 2008 4203866 23013 ganeden 1 4212396 It is on the south-west corner, on 44th street. shwarma was 7.99, burger was 5.99, hot dog was 2.50, falafel was 4.50 - also had three kind of schnitzels on the menu. unfortunately, he only had hot dogs and falafels today so didn't try him. small stand, bigger than a typical hotdog cart but smaller than Moshe's falafel stand two blocks north. Mon Dec 01 13:19:36 -0800 2008 4201749 120967 meateater 1 4952790 As of August 2009, 47th/6th (between 6th/broadway, southside of street). Burger 5.99, Falafel like $5.00, Grilled chicken 5.99, crispy chicken 6.99. So far I've had the crispy chicken and burger. Thought both were good and cart definitely has place in my rotation. I don't have a big crispy chicken game so I can't comment too much on it.. thought it could have been less oily, but accompaniments (bread, tomato, pickle etc.) I thought were solid enough. Overall woudl consider ordering that again or getting the grilled chicken. Burger, which has good reviews elsewhere on the internet, is a tricky thing to review. I liked it, but this isn't your standard burger. Very lean patty in oversize, but soft, bune, with some sort of garlic mayo and chopped tomato tapenade sauce. So at first I was like, this isn't a burger so much as a meat sandwich.. but then I ate the whole thing and was like.. tasty and probably more healthy than I was expecting. I added ketchup to mine. They give out occassional free falafel balls as well. I don't have a falafel game, but thought their falafels were great. Fluffy/flavorful on the inside, crispy on the outside (though a little too oily for my taste). The tahini they are served with is a standout.. really makes the falafel balls a stand out in my opinion. I will be back and will probably end up trying all of their menu items over the next 1-2 weeks.

I had it with their "chimi churi" sauce and garlic mayo, it was delicious. I chatted with one of the workers and was told that this is a totally new management, they started about a month ago, and they seem pretty organized and incredibly clean. And theyre on Twitter, wich is grat cause now i can actually keep track of where they are. I tried theyre falafel ball sample, i gotta say a million times better then Moshe's falafel and the Thina is really good too! like biting into Israel! simply delicious. Fri Aug 21 14:02:12 -0700 2009 4201749 1103381 ellas 2 4966888 !! your review makes me hungry... question on the burger.. did you think it was too dry at all? I was going to ask for extra sauce next time. the lean burger/thin patty/big bun I thought made it a little dry? do you mind sharing the twitter link btw? they told me they aren't there on Wednesday's because of street parking rules dealing with matinees etc. Fri Aug 21 16:45:56 -0700 2009 4966462 255447 shanshan 3 4969265 lol my posts are making ME hungry!!! I didn't think my burger was dry at all, but yes i would def ask for extra sauce if it was too dry for your taste. If you go on Twitter and search Kosher oasis youll get to the pic of their truck.. I'm guessing that eventually they will find another spot for Wednesdays..i hope :) Sat Aug 22 21:54:27 -0700 2009 4966888 1103381 ellas 2 4968991 Any idea if they ever go over to the east side? Sat Aug 22 18:56:34 -0700 2009 4966462 193375 vallevin 3 4969280 I have no idea about the east side or anywhere else, but hopefully they'll tweet if they go anywhere Sat Aug 22 22:02:24 -0700 2009 4968991 1103381 ellas 4 4969354 I'm nervous that they may ditch the 46th street location for greener pastures.. most carts are on 44th/45th.. they haven't gotten traction yet at their current location.. and by looks of setup they are pros (the Honda generator) and want to do a mean business..
