In a town run by chicken and rice carts, it's difficult to differentiate yourself. On a competitive street full of followers, a leader emerges on 45th Street and 6th Avenue. Muhammed Rahman is serving your lunch wearing a white chef coat on the "Kwik Meal" cart. His speciality is lamb over rice, and it's not just any kind of lamb. While everyone in New York City is lying about serving lamb, Muhammed is serving real lamb chunks over fluffy white basmati rice. Eating lamb from halal trucks should be a crime. Health Inspectors should start inspecting the meat from these punks who are misleading the public. Please don't tell me you like lamb, because you've eaten from your favorite halal cart downstairs from your office. You're eating frozen Kronos Processed Beef Product, sorry but someone had to tell you that there's no santa. Lamb is not for everyone, some find it gamey. But I'm a huge lamb fan.
If you are ever around midtown make sure you make a pit stop a Kwik Meal, and order the lamb over rice with green chili sauce. Chef Rahman makes his own white sauce from sour cream, cottage cheese, yogurt and a mix of herbs and spices. It's not that generic ranch mayo mixture that you're use to. His lamb is marinaded with garlic, cumin, coriander, onions and other spices. The ”secret” to what makes the lamb so tender is papaya puree, he damn sure is not following his competition across the street. He has work at the Russian Tea Room, studied management at George Brown College but he feels "food costs are high, and profits are low but he would never go back to cooking at a restaurant, because he loves the interaction with the customers you only get running a food cart." There's definitely love and passion here, and that's a feeling I can relate to. At $7 it's a little more than your traditional street cart, but you're not going to find perfectly cook lamb for that price anywhere in midtown. I hope your salivating, and I've convinced you to try the best lamb over rice from one of the good guys.
