Master Critic Review

Rickshaw 7.8
Irving Park
A casual street-eats counter built around bold, saucy comfort and poultry-forward specialties, with biryani and chaat rounding out the core. Order for contrast—one fried or rotisserie chicken plate plus a rice dish—so spice, crunch, and aromatics stay distinct instead of blending into one note.
Must-Try Dishes: Chicken charga, Lamb biryani, Samosa chaat
