"The paratha roll is the star and sole focus at the forthcoming takeout spot Kolachi, opening this September at 130 First Avenue, near St. Marks Place; there will be seating for 10 people. Owner Saif Qazi, who formerly worked in finance, is opening his first restaurant to bring food from his home in Pakistan to a greater New York audience, and Myan Jones, formerly an executive sous chef at P.F. Chang’s, will lead the kitchen. Kolachi replaces Sweet Generation Bakery, which closed in the East Village during the pandemic." - Emma Orlow
