It is a testament to the vibrant energy of Astoria that despite being a relatively low-rise nieghborhood (3-4 stories at most) that it can sustain as many excellent carts as it does, and for such long hours.
This cart is the hands-down winner in the kebabs category, serving fresh-cooked meat from noon to 6 in the morning, 7 days a week. This is a hard-core operation.
The kebabs are cooked over natural charcoal and are beautifully tender and juicy. Ask for everything on it, and they'll give you barbeque sauce, hot sauce, lemon juice, and oregano. The meat is so perfect though, any way you have them they'd be great.
The sandwich is fine, but unneccesary. The tzaziki sauce, bread and salad are OK, but not worth 2 extra dollars, so you're better off sticking to meat on a stick. I don't know if they do platters.
