hi! my friend and i went to adels for the first time. we got the chicken and lamb bowl with spicy rice and fries on top. i was so excited to try it because we’re not from here and ive heard so many good things about it. i also got the green, brown and hot sauce on the side. the food was super good and filling. ( i put hot sauce on mine aswell) however about 15 minutes later my friends stomach starts to hurt and 30 minutes later my stomach begins to cramp terribly.( Worse than period pains) I could barley walk and i’ve never had this reaction to food before. I’ve had similar halal food and this never happened?? i wanted to know if anyone else experienced something similar. i definitely wouldn’t mind going back snd trying but im not sure what made me sick.

Did you eat anything else that day?
Really unusual to have serious food poisoning kick in that quick / last that short. It’s def possible though. Prob just a little cross contamination—every restaurant you’ve ever been to has served bad food.
this doesnt sound like food poisoning though? more just upset stomach. maybe something about the hot sauce irritated your stomach?
You wouldn’t feel food poisoning for hours. You probably couldn’t handle the hot sauce or indigestion from all the fat and grease etc.
White?
That sounds like spice intolerance.. food poisoning would have you spewing liquid from both ends, and is usually from whatever you ate yesterday opposed to that same day.
If it kicked in less than an hour after eating it I would not say it’s food poisoning, usually it takes much much longer for that sort of bacteria to have an impact on your stomach. Most likely a bad reaction to grease and spice, do you usually eat spicy or greasy food?
Not food poisoning, probably the sauce being too hard on the stomach. You have to ease up the stomach before eating street food.
You could also be allergic to something in the food
i don’t really eat a lot of greasy food so i’mthinking that’s the issue hence why my friend and i are both sick after
I had the same exact issue recently. I am used to eating lots of halal food in NY, and this was the first time something like this occurred. I only put white sauce and had chicken. Surprisingly, I had a friend experience the same problem. Not sure what the issue is but might be cross contamination or something with the chicken. I have read similar posts about people getting stomach issues from this cart as well.
