Faraz Sardharia's new restaurant, Rickshaw Pakistani & Indian Street Eats, focuses on making South Asian cuisine accessible through affordable street food. Located in Irving Park, it aims to attract a wider customer base with offerings like burgers and samosas. Dedicated to community support, Sardharia plans collaborations with non-profits to aid the unhoused, including mobile health clinics. Despite rising operational costs, he believes a restaurant with a charitable mission is essential, as it provides a space for warmth and nourishment amidst increasing poverty in Chicago. Halal certification is also part of his vision for inclusivity.
Sardharia emphasizes that Rickshaw's mission is to make South Asian flavors accessible to a broader audience while contributing positively to the community.
'We hope to pay our bills with this business, but I'm pledging to give back to the community, providing warm meals for the unhoused.'
Sardharia aims to partner with non-profits, turning Rickshaw into a hub for resources like mobile health clinics for vulnerable populations.
His commitment to halal certification reflects a desire to cater to diverse communities, ensuring that South Asian street food can reach more people.
