"In polyglot Dearborn, the franchise Paradise Biryani Pointe became an examination of the ways that halal cuisine can span genres, with dishes like za’atar naan, Indian falafel, and paneer tikka kabobs since launching in 2019. In summer 2023, owner Ali Wazne, who is Lebanese American, partnered with Srinath “Ziggy” Kalmadi, who is Indian, to launch Paradise Street Eats, a food truck situated in Greektown. Standouts include butter chicken tacos featuring a creamy butter sauce, chaat veggies, and accented with a mint and tamarind chutney. Each taco is assembled with a piece of chapati — which makes an excellent alternative to a tortilla when the occasion to make a butter chicken taco calls for it." - Serena Maria Daniels
