What the creator captured
Jordan Bentley Eats was particularly impressed by the tender chicken kebab at Kebabish Q, joking that the meat must have been read a bedtime story because it was so soft. While he enjoyed the fusion tacos at Taco Mahal, he found the authentic lamb kathi roll from The Kati Roll Wala to be one of the best and most flavorful values of the day. Overall, he discovered that New York City's Indian street food scene offers a diverse range of flavors that often rival traditional sit-down meals.
