Been going here for almost 3 years now, my favorite food truck in JC. The owners are always talkative and friendly, and the food is in my opinion the best halal truck in the area. Mix over rice is always the way to go

The food was okay and pleasant — not the best, but not bad either. It’s good for someone who wants something traditional without any extras.

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!
