Chef Sibte Hassan is expanding his Pakistani hit from Bushwick to Williamsburg
Rated 8.6/10 from The Infatuation
If you’ve already been behind on your New Year’s Resolution to get in shape, now might be the time to officially throw in the towel. After all, Grand Street’s newest biz opening happens to be home to one of NYC’s top 20 burgers (# 12 to be specific). Owner + chef Sibte Hassan is expanding his New York Times praised business from Bushwick to a new storefront at 679 Grand Street. If you’re not already sold, check out this review from The Infatuation accompanying their ranking:
“When you try the signature burger at this tiny Pakistani place in Bushwick, you’ll think back to a time in your life when you were constantly discovering great new things, like sunsets and scented markers. It might not look all that unique, but instead of mayo or mustard, it has spicy mint chutney, and the big patty is somehow lighter than it looks. We could eat several of these in one sitting, and now that we’ve come up with that idea, we probably will.”
Sibte wasn’t expecting to come to Williamsburg, but when he visited his new digs for the first time he knew it was a match right away. Having arrived in New York over a decade ago, Sibte initially came to study at the Parsons School of Design. We’re glad that Sibte changed career paths to cooking, and we’re even happier that cooking is coming to Grand Street.
