Shawarma Bay (food truck)

Shawarma Bay is a halal food truck that parks on Sixth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, listed at 1290 Sixth Avenue, and serves Afghan and Middle Eastern street food late into the night.

The food

The shawarma comes in lamb, chicken, beef or a mix, slow-cooked and marinated, served over rice as a platter or wrapped. It also serves chapli kebab, a spiced Pashtun-style minced meat patty.

Good to know

• Zabihah lists it as fully halal.
• Listed hours run into the early morning, until 3am on weeknights and 4am on Fridays to Sundays, which makes it a reliable late-night option in Midtown.
• It is a to-go truck, so there is no seating.
