The Kati Roll Company

With multiple branches across Manhattan and an outpost in London, this cult favorite brings the quick, spiced energy of Kolkata street food to the city. The menu centers on warm flatbreads stuffed with fillings like seasoned paneer, egg, or minced lamb, cooked with aromatic spices that favor depth of flavor over sheer heat. Because the rolls are priced gently—mostly between $7 and $10—it is easy to mix and match, and hungry diners usually want to order at least two. The tiny, energetic space features a few stairs at the entrance, lively background music, and a steady stream of late-night visitors.
