53rd Street Halal Guys Have Lost a Few Steps

The meat is now (pre)chopped into tiny pieces. No more texture. Pita is no longer warm.

The mighty have fallen.

  1. Bleh, I don't know why they were popular in the first place. If you try the chicken on its own (while sober, I might add), it has no flavor. Apart from the long line, giant portions, and ridiculously hot hot sauce, I see nothing special about this place.

      I agree. The food is actually pretty bad. I guess it's cheap and filling? I'd rather go to Szechuan Gourmet nearby and for 2 dollars more, I get a delicious, satisfying meal.

        Agree with you on all points. Actually, at one point (many years ago), their chicken did have some flavor. But it has mutated into the bland dry sawdust they serve today.
