"The doubles at Ali’s in Bed-Stuy cost $2 and hold their own against anything coming out of a kitchen with tweezers and tall white hats. It’s a simple formula—a scoop of stew-thick channa plopped between two soft and springy bara—and the result is greater than the sum of its parts. Swing by and find out what it’s like to get that first whiff of cumin-scented chickpeas and warm, fried flatbread." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
