WoW! Such a gem of a place, great platters at good prices and good service. Loved the combination platter and would highly recommend to visit. The platter was put together beautifully had perfect rice, perfectly cooked juicy moist chicken and gyro, Salad was fresh!
At $10 for a platter (including combo), some of the best value for the most consistent quality fresh food. A generous serving that often keeps me going through both lunch and dinner as an adult man, some bonus French fries which go great with the sauces, and incredible consistency with no major line at lunch hour. Life long New Yorker eating at carts since middle school and while the days of $5 platters are long gone, Mido’s makes it into my rotation at least once a week for being the best you can get at a very competitive price.
Food and service have gone downhill. Unfortunately if you’re not of middle eastern descent your service is a bit rude and brusque. I get the language barrier but a smile is easy to reciprocate. Last time I came the container was half full (compared to how they normally do it). This time I asked for extra napkins and the guy made an audible sound of annoyance. Sorry, did I bother you? Don’t worry, that was the last time. I’ll go to Bashir Halal in Queens (my #1 overall) next time.
They absolutely load you up with juicy chicken pieces and lamb. the sauces on top make it a truly exquisite meal
Right next to my hotel and I couldn’t stop eating the combination platter it was really delicious I always get it with the 3 sauces (green, red, & white) prices are great and portions are amazing!! This is hands down the best halal cart I had.
One of the best chicken over rice options I've tried. While Adel's Famous Halal Food pops up as the most popular spot on Google, I don't think it's worth the hype or waiting in long lines for 50 minutes to 2 hours for a plate. In contrast, Mido's portion sizes are great, and the food tastes amazing. There's a lot of flavor in the sauces, and the fries have a nice crunch. Plus, the server is friendly and always smiling. I'd definitely recommend Mido's over any of the highly reviewed spots on Google
As a tourist visiting NYC for the first time, I really wanted to try chicken on rice with white sauce from a street vendor. After doing some research, Mido's came up in multiple searches - and it lived up to its reputation. I absolutely loved the food and found the portion size to be very generous. The attached pictures show the dish after I traveled for over an hour with it to get home, so they don't accurately reflect how the dish is presented to you on the street. The chili sauce I got on top was delicious and definitely packed some heat. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting New York City.
I recently tried this fantastic Halal food cart in the city! I ordered both the Chicken over Rice and Lamb over Rice platters, which were priced at $9 each. While the flavors were amazing, I felt the portion of meat could have been more generous. They included fries with the meal, but if not eaten immediately, they tend to get soggy. The convenience of accepting credit cards is a plus. The service was quick, and the staff were friendly. I particularly enjoyed their hot sauce, which had a satisfying level of heat. Overall, I recommend this Halal cart for its tasty options and efficient service.
