I just ran into Muhammed Rahman at 37th and 7th, in front of a new cart. He said this was to be a new “permanent” location. Fellow citizens of the Garment District rejoice

Every Friday we go to Muhammed for some lamb or chicken pitas…. give the guy a break he just started over here and for those of you who said the lamb was bad give him another try because his supplier could have screwed up not him. I had it today and it was amazing. He is a nice guy with a clean cart and yes it might take time to cook but your getting it fresh. SO give the guy a break and another try…. it was and is delicious!!!! GO MUHAMMED!!!!

Everyone should hang on a sec, and chill out. We have lots of fans for the Chicken and the lamb seems to be improving, but c’mon why is there not a single fan for the falafal? Seriously… if there’s no fans I’ll be the number one fan, its the best, crunchy on the outside and soft, warm on the inside. Together it makes a irresistible delight. Everyone dont lose anymore time run to quick delight and buy yourself a falafal its cheap and worth every penny!

It’’s been about one month since the grand opening of the quick delight, and although the “famous” lamb pita has been degraded, I have tried the same very lamb better at the 6th ave cart and witnessed it’s glory and wondered why commentors felt this way. It turns out that very week the person that supples the lamb was giving bad quality meat and this is why he was fired. Ever since then Quick delight have a new source of lamb meat and is once again tender and soft and NOT chewy. In fact I’v tried the lamb recently and it was mouth-watering. I hope that all of you can give it a second chance and try once more I’m sure you will have a change of heart.

I went to get a lamb pita from the cart last Thursday around 345 pm and there was no line. It still took a good 5 minutes to get my food because they seemed to take great care in flipping the pita over multiple times on the grill. The pita and all the ingredients together was smaller than what you’ll find at the 47th and 3rd cart, and also more expensive. Unlike some of the comments above, I found the lamb to be the best street meat lamb I’ve ever tasted, in midtown east, and along Wall St. The fact that it was real lamb chunks and not normal street cart gyro meat really made a difference, both in taste and texture. Some posters may have gotten stringy meat, or may have just been used to the processed gyro meat that most carts pass off as lamb. Or it could be chalked up to the lunchtime rush, though from the sound of it, they were not rushing at all. Overall I’d have to say I was very pleased with my pita, but for 6 dollars, I could go to the 47th and 3rd cart and gotten a chicken and rice with soda and been fully satiated. Quick Delight isn’t so much a street meat option as a cart that happens to be on the street serving restaurant/store quality dishes. Prices and portions are inline with the observation.

I also hit up Quick Delight for lunch yesterday and have a lot of the same to report. I had the lamb pita and was disappointed. The flavor of the sauce was good, the pita was nice, but the lamb was extremely chewy. My co-workers got the Shawarma and said it was very good. I also got a chicken mini roll which surprising outshone the lamb. The chicken was moist and tender, plus he put a lot more hot sauce on it.

My biggest complaint was that the line moved extremely slowly. There were 4 or 5 people ahead of us when we got there and it took about 20 minutes to get our food. Muhammed was having a real tough time cutting the Shawarma off the spit and he said his knife was dull. I’ll attribute it to needing to work the first week kinks out, but I’m not going to rush back there anytime soon.

To answer my own question… The Chicken Shawarma was damn good IMO… Although, he seemed somewhat overwhelmed by the response when i went… ummm so it was a little cold but still good.
