01 — Cinematic NYC

CREATEDBYMOKKA

New York at every hour, from blue hour on the East River to the last light on the skyline. Transitions, drone work, and the small moments that make the city feel like itself. New work goes up on @createdbymokka.

02 — Food in NYC

EATSBYMOKKA

POV food reviews from around New York, shot with the same eye I bring to the city itself. I am after the best meals and the best deals, from Chinatown to Flushing to a jerk chicken truck in Brooklyn. It all lives on @eatsbymokka.

Lulu La La · Chinatown A $10 Korean fried chicken bowl that had no business being that good. Watch Reel ↗
Sashimi Express · UES One of the best sushi deals in the city, and it tasted like it cost triple. Watch Reel ↗
Jamrock Jerk · Brooklyn Jerk chicken out of a food truck, and genuinely one of the best things I've eaten. Watch Reel ↗
RongWang · Flushing Authentic Cantonese in Queens, exactly the way it should be done. Watch Reel ↗
Smashy · Union Square One of the best burger deals in NYC, plus a look behind the counter. Watch Reel ↗
Hot Dog King · UES Nothing beats a New York hot dog, and this one was top tier. Watch Reel ↗

Creative Lab
CREATEDBYMOKKA

Still where I shoot the city for myself: blue hour, drone lines, the small moments. It’s the space where I experiment, chase ideas, and capture New York the way I see it. The personal work lives here: cinematic, curious, and made when there’s something worth saying.

05 — About
Nihad — @createdbymokka

WHO
I AM

I'm Nihad, and I create cinematic visuals that make you feel something. I shoot New York the way it actually feels to live here: transitions, drone lines, golden hour, and the people who keep the city moving.

Most of my time now goes into Mokka Motion, the studio where I make cinematic films for restaurants, brands, and artists with something to launch.

Createdbymokka is where I document the city, and Eatsbymokka is where I shoot its food. They’re different sides of the same creative practice, places where I experiment, explore, and sharpen the eye that I bring into my client work.

I'm also building NRIConnections, a matrimonial platform for the global Indian diaspora, which keeps me honest about the difference between making something look good and making something people use.

Creativity meets intention. NYC isn't just where I live, it's the lens I see the world through.
