"I took [my best friend] to Mamoun's (Greenwich Village), which is still one of the best falafels in the city... It's all about the combo - sloppy, messy, flavorful."
"Taste of Seafood (Harlem) is another old classic that I always go to. You get the fried whiting, candied yams, collard greens, and mac and cheese."
"If I take the family out, we go to Carmine's (Upper West Side)... It's not fancy. It's affordable, you can take your family, it's always packed, but it's been good forever."
"Tamarind (Tribeca), which is always really nice: I like the fried cauliflower. I love seeing their tandoori oven: anything that they're sticking in there."
Kelis, a trained chef and food lover, shares her favorite New York restaurants. She enjoys Mamoun's for falafel, Taste of Seafood for classic dishes, and Carmine's for family-style Italian meals. Tamarind is another favorite, known for its fried cauliflower and samosas. Kelis emphasizes the importance of flavorful, hearty meals and the nostalgic connection to these dining experiences.
