At the Heavenly Delights cart on the corner of Sheridan Avenue and 161st Street, Fauzia Abdur-Rahman has been serving up “Jamaican fusion” for nearly 15 years. At lunchtime, expect long lines of devoted customers, eagerly awaiting Abdur-Rahman’s unique blends of curry, jerk and seasonal produce.
On her menu each weekday, Abdur-Rahman promises to include a chicken dish, a vegetarian option and rice — everything else depends on her mood and what ingredients are available that day.
This winter, Abdur-Rahman’s most popular dishes include the Jamaican classics ital stew (a dish made of kidney beans, squash and potato) and homemade cornmeal porridge.
