Times are tough, especially for those of us without a regular paycheck, but eating out does not have to mean sacrificing quality or flavor.   Instead, be resourceful, (read our blog!), and stop by The Kati Roll Company.  

Now what is a Kati Roll? I think they are best described as an Indian burrito. They originated as a street food in Kolkata, India before landing in Greenwich Village. Kati rolls are made by wrapping a griddled Indian flat bread called paratha, around meat, egg, cheese or vegetables that have been well marinated in tikka or masala spices. My personal favorite is the chicken tikka roll, with the paneer as a close second.  The egg, or unda, rolls are bland and not in the least bit filling...

Priced between $3.25 (for an egg roll) and $5.75 (for a beef and egg roll), they are perfect for a cheap, fast, spicy lunch. While you can sit in the restaurant, it’s really more of a to-go place. Especially since once construction is over, there will actually be a park just up the street with a fountain perfectly aligned with the Washington square arch.

About Us

We are young (early 20's) and hungry (for knowledge! music! art! food!) friends living on (or in areas which border) Manhattan. We moved to the city seeking higher education, and an alternative to frat parties and gin buckets. We prefer a bottle of Chianti to a keg, lunches at City Bakery to a dining hall, Joe's to Starbucks, Frankie's Amatriciana to Batali's. Our uniting factor is our love for food.
