"Launched in December by the team behind Amrina, this fast-casual Midtown restaurant aims to make fried chicken accessible to everyone. Seasoned with Kashmiri red chili powder, herbs, and other spices, the chicken is battered with gluten-free flour and potato starch for a satisfying crunch (the sandwich option is not gluten-free, so get it in a bowl or on its own a la carte). Pok Pok Po goes an extra step with sourcing: The thighs are halal and cooked separately from the breasts; all poultry is antibiotic-free and humanely raised. Be sure to order the Bale Bale fries, similarly crispy and covered in a spicy, tangy seasoning, plus a mango lassi for the ultimate creamy cool down." - Brianna Griff
