A lot of interesting or nice things from New York are usually unknown due to the large size of the city. Even many local New Yorkers don’t know due to so much volume in the area
Mantai Chow, you did an amazing job filming this. If this was extended into a feature length film no doubt it would be winning awards. There was such an immediate sense of community in this vid.
He's also biased against blacks. I waved him down for a ride a full half a block in front of him and he didnt stop. I see him 3 hours later with a young white girl with a nyu sweater on lol. Hes a chump
This made me tear up. So sweet. Having places where we can feel seen, be in friendship, and be well fed is so important and can feel hard to come by! I love that place exists, and that you made this video!
My dad's a taxi driver for 25 years now, and since I became older I realized how hard he works. He comes home at 3 am and gets maybe 3 hours of sleep. Maybe someday when I make money I'll be able to give him the luxurious things in life... 😁

I've eaten here many times and cant get enough of it the food is delicious every time I'm in New York from maryland visiting a friend that works at Baruch College i make sure to come and have a meal at HAANDI.
Back in the summer of 2010, I ate at an ISKCON in Dublin that had insanely delicious vegetarian Indian food! If I ever return to Dublin, I'll eat there for sure!
My Pakistani Dad arrived in NYC in '52 with a doctors degree from Prince Edward in Lahore. After he passed, a friend of his let me know he was a Cabby after he arrived. He never told me about his first job in the USA. Lower Lex has always been the spot for visits to Kulauztyan and Shaheen Sweets back in the day. Eid Mubarak...
King Edward was the best medical school in the country, right now it trades blows with Aga Khan for first place. It's like the Harvard Medical School of Pakistan, but since it's publicly funded it's still the absolute dream school for people who want to become doctors. Your father must have been one smart man to get into KE in the late 40s, you should be very proud
Some of the best people out there. Met a man from Bangladesh at a dealership as I worked there for a while. Best man to have a conversation with and a hard working person.
A job that requires a lot of skills and an important part of the city, yet it is becoming difficult for working people like him to make enough to live, not to mention thrive. I'm glad there are restaurants that provide a resting place with delicious food for everyday people.
Its a reality. My dad is Pakistani and drove the yellow cab for years. He has to move over to uber because along with Lyft was taking away all the business.
Great service by Mr Khan for giving space to people to pray, hangout, eat for the community, for people of NYC to get a meal at affordable prices... he is the real wealthy person who has big heart... Great video...
This was beautifully made with beautiful people in it and a beautiful story. Thank you NYT cooking I love seeing real people with real jobs and a truer representation of people who live in our world
My father is a Muslim West African cab driver (since the ‘90s) and his community is one that sustains us in ways we dont even know. I loved this video so much as it gave me insight into the functionings of his community. My dad also structures his day around daily prayers and work and i find it so admirable😂
I've been to Haandi many times before. If you like Pakistani grilled meats, then you simply can't beat the $11 special here which gets you two kinds of meats, a veggie option, rice, salad and a naan bread. Get the keema kebab (minced meat kebab) in particular, spicy and moist. The mango lassi is also very good. I was craving a taste of home and the curries here have that home-style cooking flavor down-pat. Filled with Pakistani and Bangladeshi cab drivers, I could understand some of the Bengali and Urdu being spoken which was cool. Most people come here for pick up and take out since there really isn't a lot of tables here and what spots there are, are filled with the cab drivers.
This could explain why the owner can't afford to hire staff. For any food establishment to be profitable, you need a constant flow of customers. Cabbies occupying tables and socialising is not good for business. And it was nonsense for the owner/chef to say that he puts in secret spices. BTW, the food at Lahori looked far more appetising and fresh.
@@mauharley i didn't get the impression that the store owner valued personal profit over supporting his community. He could be charging rent for the space used for prayer service too, but didn't want to. I have immense respect for the man who works for a community in this world driven by profit, the willpower that must take to do every day is incredible.
It Used to be Datta Durbar in Chicago. But I hear it's been closed now. They had a free lounge next door with pool tables and couches. It was a 24 hour restaurant run by Hyderabadis from India.

I haven’t been in downtown NYC since I graduated high school in 1979. I been to NYC every Christmas since I was in elementary school because that was our field trip to NYC and in the spring it was Washington DC. So I miss that craziness!!
Such a soulful video. There are plenty of simple people in the world, who do things they are passionate about and feel a sense of community, give and take in it. Love this group of people.
I love cultures, I love food but most of all I love to meet people and listen to their experiences; to see our similarities and understand our differences. Thank you for these videos.
I have been fortunate enough to work with and get to know many Muslims from Bangladesh and Pakistan and their warmth and compassion and their sense of community is truly special. The Bangladeshi chefs in one restaurant found out that a new chef from Australia, who was not Muslim himself, was staying in a cheap hostel while trying to save to get a place, they insisted he move in with them, and allowed him to stay there rent fee while he saved up to find a place to rent.

It looked like they were mostly serving meat dishes. That's one reason why I prefer Indian restaurants over Pakistani/Bangladeshi restaurants, since Indian restaurants have a lot more vegetarian choices and I'm vegetarian. I'll pass on Haandi
Curry in a Hurry! So glad to see it featured here. It's run by some of the kindest people who you can tell truly care about who comes into their restaurant.

I'll never forget a little Pakistani kitchen I used to go to on Church and Chambers. Many taxi guys ate there. Those who know know. The staff was so hard working and the food was so good there. They even had the little naan oven.

Haandi has been around during the late 80's.. same location owner has been Mr. Harjeet Singh, and Vijay Saab. Great location and good food... It was my first restaurant job.. 😂
still here, still asking for proper CCs. the auto generated ones always have errors and omissions and are insufficient access for those who need them (hi, like me).
Loved this journalism and so great to see how every day hard workers have this kind of community. As Muslim myself, i would love to and will visit one day NYC and Explorer it through my own eyes but at this moment, this is so much eyes opening and would love to see more of this kind of journalism from different cultures as well!!! Love to you guys in NYC!!!!!!!!!
This is such a beautiful depiction of the hard work of all these people who come from the developing countries to feed their families. I am super proud of my people :)
So much respect for these Pakistani people putting in their hard work to make a better living. Makes us realise the efforts of every single person who gets out there every single day to make an inch of a difference to better their lives.
I moved to nyc to go to college in 1980. Of the gazillion things I ‘discovered’, these places where cabbies eat are in the top tier of awesome nyc stuff. Even though some of them were very much of and for people (almost always men) of that place. Punjabi places were my favorite. I miss nyc so much.

Easily one of the best pieces I've ever seen from NYT. This is journalism... give me the untold stories of the people who are the backbone of our economy and give them the spotlight they deserve.
This was incredible. Ameen is such a beautiful soul.
I never comment on videos but I just want to say that I loved this so much.

I clicked prepared to scrub but my eyes were glued for the entire piece. Hats off to Mantai Chow for crafting such a beautiful and engaging work.
Thank you for showing this.
Very well done.
Phenomenal journalism. More of this, please.
Oh, I adore this. This video puts the NEW YORK in the New York Times. It gives such, no pun intended, a fantastic taste of one particular part of the city to touch on larger topics. Next time I am in New York, I will have to give it a try.
Amazing person god bless him
This was such a lovely video 🥹 Seriously made me tear up a little
