Chestnut St. Halal Cart of Philly, a review

This is a review of the Halal street food cart that is parked off of Chestnut Street in downtown Philadelphia, I couldn't be arsed to find out the name for it but if you're really really diligent and want to find it, it's on the corner of Chestnut and S 13th St, in City Center. They're open in the evenings generally, around 5pm to 10pm.

If you're hungry, looking for middle eastern shwarma and falafel wraps, go there.

Amazing deal, amazing food.

For seven bucks, you get a big juicy falafel wrap, a large bag of fries, and a drink of your choice...soda seltzer or water. For one extra buck, you get various meats and meat bowls.

Their pita is soft and fluffy, it tears easily and is dare I say...'smoky'. The falafels are soft, the meat products which I've not consumed are good enough that my friend N eats them for at least three meals a week if not more.

The proprietors, an Afghan immigrant man and his American wife, are friendly and kind and will try their best to accommodate to your needs.

You can pay by cash, card or cashapp, they prefer venmo/cashapp and will trust you to complete the transfer. You should avoid paying with card as it cuts into their already tight profit margins.

Good people, great food at amazing prices. If you're looking for a place to get your daily meal, or you're flat out drunk with drunchies and need something to fill up your tummy to cut down on the abv in your blood, this is the place to go. Make these people richer!
