Botiwalla - Review - Old Fourth Ward - Atlanta - The Infatuation
"Botiwalla is a fast-casual Indian street food stall from the popular Chai Pani team. But just one meal here brings this Ponce City Market spot out of the shadow of its sister restaurant and into its own spotlight as a must-visit. Perfectly puffed sev potato dahi puris pair well with any of the sandwiches like the very good chicken tikka roll, served with a fresh slaw in a buttery naan. The layers of flavors in every dish feel fine-tuned, like when the buns on the cumin lamb sliders are brushed with ghee before being slightly toasted. There’s nothing on this menu that’s skippable. Nothing. So you might as well invite along the crispy, dry-rubbed wings to your order, too. Come through when you want something quick but filling for lunch or dinner without sacrificing on taste. Food Rundown Masala Smashed Potatoes These crispy fingerling potatoes are tossed with salt and lime juice, and come out a little smashed. Dipping them in the sweet and spicy ketchup gives them an extra boost of flavor that helps start your meal off on the right foot. MG Road Wings You get six dry-rubbed wings per order. They’re super crispy and taste best dipped in their creamy, mildly spicy desi ranch. These make for a nice appetizer. SDP - Potato Dahi Puris These don't travel well, so only order them if you're eating inside. Six of the perfectly puffed puris sit on a plate. One bite of these explodes with a burst of yogurt, sweet chutneys, and chunks of potatoes. Botiwalla Lamb Burgers These two mini sliders pack a flavorful punch. The thin lamb patties have all kinds of seasoning—cumin, chillies, and cilantro. They’re topped with a cabbage mix, green chutney, and ketchup that combine to make the sliders taste light and fresh. You have to order this. Chicken Tikka Roll Their chicken tikka is good enough to eat on its own. But we like it even better when it’s wrapped in a buttery naan and mixed with a creamy cabbage slaw that has a hint of cumin." - Juli Horsford
