Jaywok › New York City
25 Pakistani restaurants in New York City, listed by borough.
Pakistani food is meat, slow and spiced. Try nihari, beef shank stewed overnight and eaten with naan, or haleem, a thick wheat and lentil stew. Karahi, chicken or goat cooked in a wok with tomato and chili, and seekh kebab are the grill standards. Finish with jalebi from a sweet shop.
Coney Island Avenue in Midwood, Brooklyn is Little Pakistan, the center of the community. Our adventure there stops at Pakiza, Lahori Chilli, Shandar Sweets and Gourmet Sweets. Smaller clusters sit in Jackson Heights in Queens and in the Bronx, and Manhattan has a few late-night counters that feed the city's cab drivers.
