Video: NYC FOOD CART TOUR: Biryani Cart

Come back every Wednesday for another funny, informative video documenting my inept food adventures. NYC Food Cart Tour is my exploration of the hard-working vendors feeding NYC’s population every day.

Biryani Cart is super famous in Midtown. Since 2004, Meru Sikder has been feeding the lunch crowds in Midtown with his signature kati rolls and spicy biryani dishes. Most recently, he has added a second location downtown on Greenwich Street. If you’ve never had a kati roll (think Indian burrito), this is the place to check them out. It’s worth the wait in line.
