King of Falafel & Shawarma Cart

King of Falafel & Shawarma is a food cart in Astoria located at the corner of 30th Street and Broadway, just one block from the N subway train. They serve middle eastern food to go. Unfortunately, we didn't find a nice place to sit and eat nearby and ended up walking 10 minutes to the waterfront to eat at the Socrates Sculpture Garden.

Chicken & Rice Platter

Chicken & Rice Platter

The chicken and rice platter was served with salad, a falafel and your choice of toppings including pickled beets and white sauce. They put way too much white sauce (which was something like Tzatziki sauce) on. I ended up scraping most of it off. The chicken was delicious but greasy. It had lots of flavor and was a bit spicy. The salad was mostly iceberg lettuce with a bit of tomato and the white sauce served as dressing. The falafel was a typical good fried falafel. The platter was delicious and great value for only $6, but I didn't feel like it was very healthy.
