The samosa there is good. I am not sure if it's hygienic enough. But hey I haven't had upset stomach after eating here. So hopefully it's clean enough.

Food Review: Pakistani Duck Meat Curry Just when I thought I had tried every kind of curry, I came across the rare “Duck Meat Curry” at a small shop in Jackson Heights. The smaller kebab shops on the side streets tend to have the more exotic dishes and are much more affordable than your average Manhattan spot because 1) they are more local and authentic - you won’t see any tourists come here and 2) my personal theory is that they enjoy being a bit more creative instead of being 100% profit driven. Maybe it’s the lower rents/taxes/staff outlay that allow them to take this risk? I think their reputational / street cred are on the line too, with Jackson Heights being a pretty small community The curry was very heavy and the duck was filled with lots of fat and bones - a hefty dish for sure They had over 8 different kinds of biryanis, from beef, chicken, goat, “house special”, etc.! - Eating my way through immigrant-owned small businesses in NYC... -Instagram: Eat_the_Immigrant_NYC

A surprise find near Roosevelt Jackson Heights Metro Station. With lots of other choices around I was glad I gave Merit Kabab a try. I had Goat Biryani, Naan and two Samosas for $14. Typical prices for around a Metro Station although I think a bit high compared more local places around town. Service was good and this place was busy so they're definitely doing things right.
