"Few things are as ubiquitous on the streets of Kolkata as kathi rolls: chunks of spiced, grilled meat, topped with shards of onions, chopped green chiles, and a squeeze of lime, all rolled up in flaky parathas and fried on a griddle. Sold out of pushcarts, street stalls, and restaurants, the kathi roll is Kolkata’s favorite grub on the go. Even if loyalties are divided among the city’s many roll joints, 51-year-old Kusum, a takeaway counter that occupies a prime spot on Park Street, is among the top contenders. For a truly indulgent treat, ask for a double portion of meat in your roll." - Priyadarshini Chatterjee
