The Kati Roll Company welcomed fans of their Calcutta-style street wraps to the opening of a new Midtown location last week. The menu has an array of choices with thirteen unique and simple takes on Indian specialities rolled in fresh, traditional hand-made flatbread. The unda chicken tikka wrapped in paratha satisfies cravings with traditional spices and a layer of beaten eggs. Roti filled with grilled tiger shrimp, marinated in coconut milk and spices is lighter fare without sacrificing flavor, as do a number familiar vegetarian options like the chana masala roll.
Bring a friend (or a big appetite) to take advantage of the daily special which offers two rolls at a discounted price. The new location will serve lunch throughout the week and stay open especially late each weekend (til 5:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday) making almost any time the perfect hour for a kati roll.
