Tried Nishaan Chopped Cheese Sandwich and really enjoyed it. The sandwiches are made like a classic New York chopped cheese, but with a Pakistani flair they add different spices that give it a unique and flavorful twist. I had the Impossible chopped cheese, and it was very flavorful. It came with bell peppers, and even though I opted for no onions, the texture was still really good and well put together. On top of that, the staff was very friendly, which made the experience even better. Definitely a cool spin on a NYC classic.
