I haven't ever gotten it, but one of my co-workers came back once with what looked like upscale street meat. If I recall, it was close to $10.</p> <p>Looks like you can see the chicken over rice in the pictures section:<br /> <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/zeytinz-new-york#" rel="nofollow">http://www.yelp.com/biz/zeytinz-new-york#</a> </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/anyone-know-where-to-get-chickenlamb-over-rice-street-meat-dish-from-a-restaurant#post-22810 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 14:53:40 -0500 Dale Doback 22810@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>you could try Bi Lokma on East 45th street (btw 2nd and 3rd).</p> <p><a href="http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/bi-lokma/" rel="nofollow">http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/bi-lokma/</a></p> <p>They have pretty good quality shawarma. They actually layer the meat on the spit and it maintains juicy flavor that does not exist in a prepackaged log. They have white and buckwheat rices as well. Haven't got anything else there but looks like you can get a kebab wrap or some other smaller meze-like bites.</p> <p>Full disclosure: the service can be unfriendly and it is a bit pricey. You'll get a shawarma platter with rice and cabbage for about $10 and its less food than a typical 'street meat' experience. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/anyone-know-where-to-get-chickenlamb-over-rice-street-meat-dish-from-a-restaurant#post-22809 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 14:29:41 -0500 joer 22809@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>If you head to the 50s:</p> <p><a href="http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/street-meat-from-a-storefront-new-place-55th-lex3rd" rel="nofollow">http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/street-meat-from-a-storefront-new-place-55th-lex3rd</a> </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/anyone-know-where-to-get-chickenlamb-over-rice-street-meat-dish-from-a-restaurant#post-22807 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 13:52:21 -0500 RadiantPig 22807@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>I've walked by Gyro King on 26th and 3rd Ave. Never tried it, but there were some menu items that look Halal Cart-ish (chicken and rice, lamb and rice...). </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/anyone-know-where-to-get-chickenlamb-over-rice-street-meat-dish-from-a-restaurant#post-22805 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 12:56:35 -0500 Username303 22805@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Haha.

To be healthly, I use ground turkey and brown rice (sometimes even quinoa). For hot sauce - sirrachi. For white sauce, try looking up some recipes online and you eventually find one you like or at least able to tweek it.<br /> Is it exactly the same, no.

As Dave said, you can ask a greek place or turkish place to chop the gyro and put sauce on it and serve it over rice, but if you want the chicken/fake lamb flattop deal over rice, like you get at a cart/truck, you gotta go to an actual truck/cart. Rice and seasonings...white (you realize this is just spiced mayo right?)and hot sauce. That is funny funny shit. No reputable turkish or middle eastern restaurant is going to serve you mayo sauce and pretend its tzatziki, a yogurt based sauce, but if that's what you prefer, along with fake lamb and crappy quality chicken (which I admittedly enjoy as well, though not nearly as much as the good real stuff like real gyro with real tzatziki), more power to you.... </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/anyone-know-where-to-get-chickenlamb-over-rice-street-meat-dish-from-a-restaurant#post-22794 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 13:49:21 -0500 jbeats 22794@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Dave, thanks for the suggestion - I've had that before. It's close and definitely a great dish, but still not exactly the same to me.</p> <p>I guess it's more about the the type of rice, seasonings, white/hot sauces, chicken meat (not the kebab style that a Turkish restaurant would offer), salad mixed in that makes it all unique. So easy to find on the street but apparently really difficult to find on a restaurant menu. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/anyone-know-where-to-get-chickenlamb-over-rice-street-meat-dish-from-a-restaurant#post-22793 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 12:47:53 -0500 Dave 22793@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>You can try Turkish or similar restaurants -- Ali Baba seems to be on E 34th -- which will have a doner kebab or similar, "doner" being the "lamb on a rotating spit" you know and love. </p>
