Description

A beloved late‑night halal food truck serving authentic Arabic fare—crispy lamb shawarma, juicy meats, big portions and memorable pickles—has become a go-to for night owls and delivery drivers. Family-run warmth, quick takeout and ample seating make it convenient, especially around 2–3 AM. Expect excellent rice dishes and a must-try fry special, but beware of spotty quality control: orders can be sloppy, ingredients sometimes run out, and allergy or special‑request handling is unreliable despite generally friendly staff.

Dear Halal Time, I discovered you while doing food deliveries and had to go back a few times for multiple order pickups. Someones popular! Around 3:30 AM I was getting pretty hungry working late night ridesharing and decided to drive down 7th and see if yall are still open. Sure enough your neon was on and you were pretty much waiting for me to make an order. You had it out in no time handed it directly to me all warm and wrapped in foil. I got your Lamb wrap and I just gotta say... I think you and I are going to be friends! The lamb was cut thick amazing with perfect little cripy edges on it. Big chuncks of cucumber pefectly slathered with your homemade sauce. And topped with im guessing homemade pickles as well. Which by the way I want a jar of those too. I would have posted a pic but I ate it all before I could think of it Anway, It was perfect! You will definitely be seeing me again. I'm 100% sure of it. Thank you for being open so late.

Did not inform that they were out of certain ingredients like the chicken in a chicken wrap until after people had ordered. A friend tried to request a wrap specifically without tzatziki because of a dairy allergy- the man taking orders refused to mark that down on the order, insisting that he would make sure it was done correctly. Thirty minutes and a reminder later, we received a wrap with tzatziki sauce. This place is popular because there is no other option when you’re on sixth late. The food is fine but keep in mind if you have any kind of food sensitivity or allergy, you cannot rely on them to get your order right. Not only that, your concerns are met with rude, obnoxious excuses.

Food was good and the hot sauce is not too spicy if you enjoy spicy. Had plenty of room to sit, it wasn’t too busy. Saw people come and go.Food: 5/5

My husband ate here recently and lost his phone. The owner, Sam, was so kind and helpful during a very stressful situation. Sam and his employees went out of their way to locate the phone and we are so very grateful. Fantastic food, spectacular customer service, and truly wonderful people.
