The line for this food truck during lunch is alwayssss long, which means it must be good! I decided to bring home dinner from the cart after work and there was a small line but it went by very quickly. The owners of the cart were so nice, friendly, and fun. When I took a picture of the menu, he said, “what about my picture!” :) I, of course, took his picture as he posed. How fun! I ordered the chicken biryani and the chicken tiki masala. The long line was true to the food quality!
Was surprised to find so good indo chinese at an cart! Definitely recommend everyone to try chilly chicken rice. Also a heads up, its quite spicy!
Really tasty fresh food! Went back twice in the same day. Highly recommended. And it’s Halal 🤩
Due to construction they are now located at the intersection of Nassau and Cedar. Brilliant food with affordable pricing. Must try their lunch box combo!
This cart was right in the heart of wall Street. It was a perfect spot to have hot food on a cold New York winter. We went there for the biryani but we ended up trying the kathi roll and it was amazing. Must try. The person in charge was friendly.
This place is my fave food in the whole city. I think they do Indian food better than anyone (I’ve been to all the nice Indian restaurants in the city). I used to eat here everyday when I worked around the area. I visited it couple weeks ago and it was as delicious as always. I get the paneer matter and the Kati rolls. I send all my friends here and they all love it as well. A true NYC gem :)
Awesome street food! I go them many years, always fresh and tastes good.
Employees are friendly. The Biryani however was ok. The flavor was great but it wasnt a Biryani, more like rice mixed with chicken.
The best food cart in downtown Manhattan
Used to be the best cart in the city but nowadays they skimped out to save money and the quality and portion just isnt there. Sad but thats the reality we live in.
By far the best biryani cart food in the area. I absolutely love the lamb biryani and the kathi rolls, but there are plenty of options to choose from - chicken / lamb over rice, kebabs, vegetarian options, salads, theyre all there. We get takeout from here practically every weekend! This cart is consistently rated one of the best cart food options in the city, and it shows.PRO TIP: the lamb biryani is heavenly, but only offered Mon-Fri...
Omg 😮 the kathi rolls are just too good. The flavors are beautiful. And for $6!!!! That’s dEf a treat. You must try their rolls out if you are in downtown. It’s absolutely worth it!!!Gotta try out their biryani too.
Amazing food... One of the best street food i ever had in NYC... Tried Kati Rolls, Chicken Biryani and Chicked Tikka Masala... All taste great... :)
Delicious food, briyani is the best out of all$6 for briyani with Coke. $1 Samosa, $5 Chicken kebab stick! Tea and coffee for a dollar.
One of favorite destination for kati roll and chicken over rice. :) will go again definitely
Great food. These guys have reasonable prices and are quick/great with their packaging. My wide & I come here for our Indian cuisine fix!
Hey google, give zero star option.Did you ate biryani before in your life?? real biryani lovers won’t accept it. I didn’t feel the biryani taste. This is something else. He is using Only one biryani ingredient. that one also rice, you won’t find any other masala Items. Visit anjappar and feel the real biryani taste.Very worst briyani and chicken over rice in my life. Also he is not ready to hear any comments from customers. I told, briyani is vey bad and smells bad. Rice is smelling very bad, I think it’s 2 or 3 days old. But that guy is hearing like stories and didn’t respond it.Waiting time is more than 15min, long queue in this cart. I feel everything is waste.DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME.
Onolicious!!! Best food and I could eat here everyday. The first place we ate at when we arrived in NYC. We ate here at least 3 times during our stay. We trying be local like everyone. Always find the places where locals go not where all the tourists go. Get the real experience on vacation. Definitely my favorite place for quick, easy, and delicious food. And very reasonable prices for fresh home cooked meals. Reminds me of kid time. This place is good because all the workers eat here everyday. Gotta try it at least once and you will be hooked.
Nice people nice food for cheap but excellent quality
The flavors were delicious, chicken was perfectly cooked, all the sauces were nicely prepared, service was fast, all the things were freshly made, even the salt was perfectly balanced,We loved the samosas, chilli chicken and kathi roll we had here, BOLE TOH MAZAA HI AAGAYA!!!!
Love this halal cart! The owners are always so friendly and the food is truly delicious. Plus, they have great sauces!
If I could give 0 stars I would. The food was not fresh it was very subpar. Their card machine was not working even though they insist it does. The person working in the cart constantly stared and ogled at my body I was extremely uncomfortable. I told him off and he still continued to stare. Overall service was terrible and they were rude and extremely inappropriate. I definitely would not recommend going there especially if you want to avoid creepy men.
My family always asks me to pick up a few plates of their vegetable biryani when I’m in the area. It’s flavorful and decadent, not overly spicy, and has a really get variety of options for the non-biryani crowd.
Way too much hype.Had better tasting biryanis.If you are just looking for no flavor, just some rice, chicken and lettuce, you will love it.Not even worth one star.
Tastes amazing, but I think the portions are really small. Shrinkflation hit this one.
This was my first NYC food truck experience, and it turned out way better than expected. Their samosas are drool worthy, make sure to ask them for masala and green sauce on top🤤
One of the very best food truck chicken over rice ever. You get tender chicken dark meat cooked with proper seasoning, over rice with proper seasoning.I highly recommend getting all three sauces available: white, hot and green. If the line is short, you can also request for mango chutney.The best time to order is to arrive before 11:45am on a weekday or after 6pm in the evenings. Otherwise, the line can queue for 15-30 minutes.There are many other food trucks nearby, so be careful not to go to the wrong one. Check the name carefully and look for the truck with the longest line.
There are actually two carts near each other, one named Indian King Biryani House and the other India Biryani House. The reviews are all mixed up and so is Google. Both are good, though I prefer the latter. Food is tasty and would merit a four star. However, the price and location makes it a definite five. Food must be eaten hot in the park.
Ive had indian chicken biryani in many restaurants across NYC. There are only 2 or 3 places that can give authentic taste. This cart is the best. The taste, price and the satisfaction is worth everything.
The best halal cart in NYC, I have ever tried. Because of the very cheap prices, I was in doubt if I will be sick after eat ( I have a few bad experience with street foods in NYC) but the food was great. There is my new favorite lunch place in Downtown area.
One of the best biriyanis Ive had in the USA. I was skeptic at first due to the size of the place, however when I reached there, I could see long lines and was intrigued. The biriyani was cheap and it tasted really nice. The order was also served really quick and I enjoyed ordering 2-3 times there while I was in New York.
One of the best cart foods in NYC.
We (group of 7) were visiting NY and happen to see the place. The food is super awesome. The plan was to grab a bite and get dinner later but we ended up eating dinner there. The chicken roll and the tikka masala combo with rice is as good as it gets. Highly recommend.
A bang for your buck.I could only try vegetable biryani and it is so yum. I tried the biryani with their hot sauce and white sauce. This added so much flavor into the rice and veggies. A must try if you are in the neighborhood.P.S: I have never had such a tasty biryani even in one of the best restaurants in the City.
This place is definitely one of the tastiest place to eat in the area. Whenever I go there I am highly pleased. They keep their high standard service and the topmost level of meals they give. You can never go wrong with this restaurant. Very recommended.
Favorite food cart in all of NYC! Ive had my fair share and I can tell you that the selection and quality of food here is far above the rest! Excellent guys that run it, always engage me when Im there and know my order! I encourage you to try something new rather than just chicken over rice here. Chicken tikka masala is my personal favorite, but you really cant go wrong!
WHERE DID IT GO?Theyre doing construction on this block and none of the carts that are by the cube are there. Any idea where this cart went? Really depressed its gone!
One of the best food carts in the city and probably one of the top lunch deals in lower Manhattan. Got the chicken biryani and it’s great, restaurant quality food, with a salad, for only 6 bucks. Great, flavorful hot sauces. Make sure you give it a try!
Wait can be long, but its predictable especially if you ask the guys in the cart. Wait will typically run 20-30 minutes or so if you arrive between 1 and 3. The chicken biryani is the best out of all the carts in this square, enhanced by the splendor of their magic spachelor. It is said it is washed in water from a special NYC well to bring an enhanced local flavor. This is the kind of place where you come and get addicted to the food, any negative reviews you read after the fact you ignore, as you already know first hand the delicacies that are produced.
Best Street Food Cart in the lower Manhattan. Food is well prepared and delicious. Chicken Tikka wrap and Chicken Tikka over is awesome. Add spices as per your taste. No other cart in the vicinity matches the taste of this cart. Whenever I am around this area, try to have the street food from here.
Ive become a big fan of their spicy Kati rolls (oddly called wraps on their menu). They are authentically spiced, made fresh for each order, and remind me of the meals I had in India years ago...Best of the local carts!
Not really Indian, these are Bangladeshi people. Serving time and food taste is decent. Its kinda spiced up versions of those halal food platters. Anyways, worth trying because of the price.
It’s the kinda food you can’t take a picture of because it’s just too… saucy?? But heck if the biryani isn’t some top tier cart food
The best cart for Indian food in NYC!! Everything off the menu is awesome. Kaati rolls, paneer mutter over rice, chicken keema over rice and egg fried rice are must trys. Food is really cheap and quick service. Located right in front the giant red cube at zucotti park.
Great food cart in NYC! Perfect for a quick bite. Food is really delicious
Love their paneer over rice .. its hot and spicy.. and its at a really great price! The only drawback is waiting in line and that the place doesnt deliver. Other than that I absolutely recommend Indian King .
Biryani House is wonderful. They have a great selection of Indian cuisine and the prices could not be any better. 6 or 7 dollars can get you a plate of very delicious, satisfying food.
For the price the food is ok. Nothing that spectacular the rice dishes could be a little more better in terms of texture all in all food is delicious. Worst time to go is during lunch time as the lines are long. A testament as to how delicious the food is
Amazing food. Chilli chicken over rice, yummy yummy yumm yumm 😍 Chef: Sohail
Someone said the Kati Roll is better than restaurants for price and quality, and I can’t agree more. It could re-name its cart to Kati Roll cart if it wanted to.
Always good. Gyros are yummy. Quick warning, if you eat a gyro here and it goes right thru you, ask him to not put oil directly on the pita. Thats whats causing your explosions its not the food. I promise. Those little triangle things, I forgot the name, theyre the bomb diggidy. Get the white sauce. I ask for a little bit of sauce. Keep it clean. Thats all. Enjoy.
Had been to this cart on Sunday evening and could still see folks queuing up. $6.99 for Rice and Kabab was seriously too good.Excellent food. Very nicely maintained and extremely courteous guys.Get down at Battery Park and walk 10mins. And you are there...
Very tasty and spicy I recommend it
Omg the Kati Rolls are fantastic. Make sure you get extra white sauce and the spicy sauce isnt too spicy at all but with the white, green and spicy sauce it was great. Make sure you know what to order BEFORE you get up there because its all about time....NY TIME!.
Seriously one of the best Indian food that I had in USA!!! I bought samosas, vegetable biryani and chicken lunch combo and each food item was simply AWESOME!!! Anyone craving for biryani ...this is one of the places where u can definitely visit!!!
Chicken and rice was very good. Food was cooked on order, I liked it
Food is very good,(i had only Falafel) though little bit expensive compared to other carts nearby. if you are ready to stand for at least 20 min in the lane, you would be treated with quality food.
Chicken biryani here is amazing, well worth the wait. Easily the best street meat in fidi.
Just came here since the reviews were good. The Kathi roll especially the chicken was good. The Biryani was good for the price. Overall a good place to eat a quick bite
They are the only cart that offer something more for vegetarians then just Biryani. They offer Mattar panner as well as saag panner. Pretty good but very long lines during lunch. 30+ mins.
I would give 0 but no option available. Very less quantity and not biriyani. They are selling yellow color rice. Not even Indian spicies added.
Best Halal cart in downtown Manhattan. Be sure to ask for a scoop of chickpeas to top your dish. Ties everything together perfectly!
Excellent and very old food truck. Worth to try chicken katti roll.
The vendors and friendly. The food is cheap, delicious, and have good sized portions. There can be a bit of a wait especially if theres a line. It seems to stay open pretty late so its a good choice for dinner.
Though their Biriyani was average, loved their Kati rolls (2 Kathi rolls for $7). It was so tasty and was the best Kati rolls I had ever.
Worst food you can eat among junk foods. Oily, greasy, mystery meat and the flavors are masked with the three chutneys they put on top of everything. Best to avoid.
Best chicken Tikka masala I have ever ate.
Best paneer kathi role and lamb biriyani I have had. Watch out for spice level of you are not used to eating Indian food.
Food was really tasty. We ordered chicken biryani spicy, samosa, veg Biryani. Everything was yummy. I would recommend trying this place while you are in downtown area.
Biryani was fine, and very inexpensive. Had samosas as well and those were meh. Line was 15 minutes, so its clearly popular...
Wraps are delicious but not the biryani. Especially lamb biryani meat not cooked or fresh like I thought. In general I will go back for samosas and wraps only.
Horrible manners of the person who serves here. We asked for chai and he replied “who had chai on a hot day”. He needs to understand how to treat his customers right. No matter how good the food I’m not coming back here just for the attitude.
Very good food (especially considering that this is a street cart). Try the Tikka Kabab with Naan. It was really good. I just went with the white sauce and not the hot sauce but the taste was great. It was worth the wait in line.
Food is great ! Authentic Indian
The food is prepared with ingredients that dance in your mouth. The line is long but the food is worth it and it will not break your wallet. Absolutely love it!!!!
He is Open After Covid Shutdown. Same Taste. I have been eating here since 2 yrs. Tasty food, Highly Recommended.
Indian king birayni house best food
- great taste- extra choice of dishes available apart from the standard halal cart variety (paneer and chilli chicken for example)- free soda- most dishes cost $6, some dishes cost $8
Just simply fantastic!
One of my favorite cart food vendor, it is not the best Indian cart food I have ever had, but it is one of great cart; and the price is great also.
Super biryani for amzing price. Just thinking about it makes me want to eat again . Just be careful with spice level and ask for max if you can handle it.
I am a visitor to NYC and saw a long queue next to so many similar cart and wanted to tryWas not disappointedI bought Chicken Biriyani
Excellent and very well priced
Nice place to grab some food on the go. Portion size is good and worth the price. Get some extra white+red+green sauce with whatever you order.
Worst Indian Masala tea
I loved the biryani and it tasted very well. Its worth for the price. Almost I stood 15 mins in a queue to get it.
Had a awesome experience here with my kid. The food was served quick and the customer service is just good. Prices are reasonable.
Yum! Long line
Kathi roll was really nice. Biryani is not exactly a biryani as per indian standards but it is not at all bad.
Best Indian from a small Cart in the Financial District In NYC. Chicken and Rice favorite. High quality white meat
Exceptional food, helpful employees, regularly good mood. They charge affordable prices and the food quality is good. I recommend this place.
Some of the best Biryani I have had in downtown, for only $6 its even better value than some places in India
Good place to eat Indian food in NYC !! Me & my family liked it very much. Briyani is awesome.
Chilli Chiken is really amazing and in very affordable price, The biryani is good and has a good blend of spices but not an authentic biryani
Delicious Indian Food for price worthy must try
Best indian food biryani and kathi roll . quality food with cheap price. they beat new york restaurants with taste and price good luck
Its good, but not very spicy. Drinks looked like they were living in the ice box forever with mold!
I ordered chicken over yellow rice. It was yumm yumm yummmmm. I have decided to visit this cart every time I visit NYC.
Better than most of the Indian restaurants in the area. Friendly service and awesome food. What more can you ask for?
One of the best food truck biryani Ive had. Would definitely recommend.
Great food for great prices. Hard working people too!
They have one the best Biryani I have tasted in NYC. The green chutney which they serve with it is the best one.
It’s ok for $6. Got some salad and a couple of chicken pieces. Taste was ok. Try it out.
Espectacular chicken biryani! Right amount of fresh spices! So flavorful! 👌
Wrong food it’s not biryani, you can consider as simply a chicken over rice( Bad )
Its okay. Not worth the long line though. The other carts without the long lines are just fine too.
Very tasty and cheap food. Tried lamb over rice and it was awesome!
I highly recommend Chilli chicken over rice/chowmein. Food is amazing!
Biryani was not good, However Chili Chicken was very Tasty..
We ordered chicken over rice and the rice had nice flavors to it
My go-to place for Biryani
I’ve been there hundreds of times, amazing food quality.
We ordered for biryani here, and it was really awesome.
Pathetic. Took tea was worst. Samosa was like frozen pack from any Indian grocery.
The best Chilli chicken and lamb (Indo Chinese) in NYC!
One of the best cart I have been to in NYC, for sure.
Good biryani, tasty and spicy. I liked it.
I tried chicken tikka mashala, lamb over polau rice which are great.
Try the egg fried rice with spicy green sauce. Its awesome
Not that good .. tried it based on reviews.. but biryani is not that good
Chicken over rice is their bestseller and indeed very good..
The Best Chicken Biryani so far in the NYC area. $6.00!!!!!!
Chicken Kati roll was delicious!
The food was amazing! Would definitely come back 5/5
Not worth it to stand is such a long queue ... Got much of rice and 2-3 pieces of lamb
Low cost low quality and not good for health better do not try food at such cart.
Over hyped in my opinion. Biryani was average at best.
Really good chicken. Lamb not so much
Best Indian cart if you are working near freedom tower !!!!!
Best Hyderabadi Lamb and Chicken Biryani in NYC
East or west, indian king Biryani house is best.

2022-04-04One of the best Indian food cart in NYC. It is closest to authentic Indian food i have tried in NYC. A lot of Indian restaurants here but they all sell American version of Indian food. This cart has much better taste and uses a lot of original Indian spices to the food. I tried mattar paneer rice bowl and it was delicious. It was for $6 and quantity was a also sufficient. Owner is a good person and cooks food passionately. Will definitely eat here again

2022-01-12How does this business not have any reviews? My fabulous coworkers introduced me to this truck and I am so glad (my waistline may not be).There was a bit of a line but it moved rather quickly and I was glad because it was cold outside (below 30). The food was so good I was dreaming of it while eating it.Try anything on the menu and I guarantee deliciousness in every bite.

2022-01-19Small cart Indian food cart parked near Broadway and Liberty in the FiDi area. pretty sure this is the “Indian King Biryani House” as the pictures depict the cart differently over the years. the cart looks well-maintained and fairly clean from the outside. cart seems to be open from day to fairly late at night.ordered a Chicken Biryani, $7 + tip. took a few minutes, not a long wait. i’ll be honest i was unimpressed with what i got. the flavor of the food was okay. the basmati rice seemed to be over-cooked and broken up from reheating. there was barely any chicken in it. the chicken in it was more like thin broken pieces. compared to other food carts, the serving seemed small. overall, i wouldn’t try this cart again as the experience was fairly mediocre.this is one of those few occurrences where prior superpositive reviews didn’t work out for me. maybe it was an off-day for this cart.the grill man was fast.

2022-06-13Had fish over rice. Price was cheaper without any compromise in the quality and quantity of food provided. It was tasty. Will try it once more if possible.

2022-05-19Loved the curry chicken over rice! The Kati rolls are awesome too but a bit thick for my liking. Definitely going back to try all of the other rice dishes!

2020-12-30I’ve always wanted to try the Indian king biryani house food truck since this food truck would have a huge line every time (pre-pandemic) during lunch hours. The menu is very well displayed and huge given the size and the fact this is a food truck and not a restaurant (well, it’s a restaurant on wheels anyway). With all this said, let’s talk about the food itself.I’ve never had such great tasting food from a food truck before. The food was flavorful and wasn’t too spicy but had enough spice to entice your tastebuds. The quantity was humongous. We had taken a couple of chicken keema rice and let me tell you, the chicken and rice was amazing. The rice was very well cooked and the chicken too was tender and juicy. There’s soda available as well. The prices were good given the quantity of the food at display.This food truck accepts all the major credit cards available on the market (I didn’t know this so I had taken cash with me) so that was something new that I got to know. Overall, I’d recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a good flavorful Indian meal.

2021-06-06I cannot say enough good things about the food at this cart!!!! You know it’s a good sign when there are mostly Indians lining up to buy food here. The building it’s in front of is Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. Tip: If you’re looking for a place to eat this awesome feast, go to nearby Zuccotti Park for a breezy lunch under the shade, lined with skyscrapers.Instagram: @thenomadicfoodie

2021-01-19Very decent and delicious Indian food! The cart was near Leroy Street and Hudson street (and not the official location on google maps) temporarily that day. Lots of options to choose from but unfortunately they don’t have the lamb saag I was craving for. Lamb over rice is still very amazing!
Review №9
2019-09-05Super delicious street food..! One of the best places for Indian street food in lower Manhattan, they are better than the halal guys..! I tried the chili chicken and the chicken biryani and both were delicious, surprised to see a lot of non-Indians waiting to get some food.. there are few other Indian food trucks around, just be mindful on what you pick..

2022-07-04Nothing is good. Not even single dish has an Indian taste and biryani is getting foul smell. Avoid this place.
