"Located near Penn Station, Chatti is Regi Matthew’s elegant introduction to Kerala toddy-shop cuisine outside India: the extensive “touchings” menu functions like Indian tapas—beef fry, coconut prawns, jackfruit cutlets, pan-fried pomfret with gooseberry masala—and I loved a steaming bowl of seafood moilee soup served with feather-light appams; Matthew researched more than 100 toddy shops and sourced some 800 recipes, and the result is best enjoyed with a big group so you can work through dozens of options." - Sarah Khan
