Tried out Djura Halal Food Truck in New Jersey, and it did not disappoint! The combo platter was the star – packed with flavorful chicken and lamb over rice, topped with their delicious sauce. The food was tasty, portions were generous, and it was served super quickly. The only downside was the card payment process, which took longer than expected. Overall, a solid spot for a quick and satisfying meal!
