"So many of these moments in my life were ones that I could not separate from food. You gotta go there for biryani. It's incredible. I would say then finish it off with some paan outside, referring to a traditional South Asian after-meal palate cleanser."
"Perhaps no restaurant is more closely associated with Mamdani than Kabab King. It's not just the music video here: he's been a regular at Kabab King since high school, and his inauguration as mayor was even catered by the restaurant."
Zohran Mamdani, now New York City mayor, was previously known as rapper Mr. Cardamom, featuring in a 2019 music video at Kabab King restaurant in Queens. His deep connection to food shapes his worldview and political approach. Mamdani has lived in Queens, the city's most diverse borough, and frequents affordable, authentic neighborhood restaurants rather than upscale establishments. His mayoral campaign centered on food, reflecting his philosophy that many life moments are inseparable from dining experiences. Kabab King holds particular significance in his life, serving as a regular haunt since high school and even catering his mayoral inauguration.
