STREET EATS: CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA & A DOUBLE FROM TRINI-PAKI BOYS
April 24th, 2012One of the better and more unique vendors in midtown is the Trini-Paki Boys cart on the south side of 43rd St just east of 6th Ave. They serve a good chicken over rice dish, but their daily specials are what you should ask about before ordering.
There could be jerk chicken, goat curry, chicken tikka masala, beef stew, oxtail stew, shark bake (not actually shark), or any number of other Caribbean and Pakistani dishes. You see the food is a combination of cuisines, just as the married owners are – one is Trinidadian and one is Pakistani.
Several of these specials were available when I recently visited, and I went for a small portion of chicken tikka masala for $6 and a Trinidadian double for $2.
