The spot, the food, and the reaction

Nishaan is a small Pakistani-American sandwich shop at 160 1st Avenue in the East Village. It showed up in Eater's Most-Ordered video series. The star of the video is the Chapli Kabob Chopped Cheese.

A chopped cheese is a classic New York deli sandwich. Nishaan swaps the usual ground beef for chapli kabob, a spiced beef patty from Pakistan. The menu says it comes on a toasted roll with peppers, onions, two cheeses, lime cilantro sauce, and tamarind chutney.

The owner said the sandwich is like his childhood on one roll. The menu lists it as a most-ordered item. There are also chicken, lamb, and Impossible versions, plus loaded fries.

The shop started as a pop-up at Smorgasburg. It also won a season of The Great Food Truck Race. The space is small, so seats can fill up fast.
