"While their parent restaurant Chai Pani has the edge with a bigger menu, Botiwalla is a reliable spot for a fast-casual Indian meal. This Ponce City Market counter-service stall focuses on street foods. Think: puffed sev potato dahi puris with a sweet yogurt, a delicious chicken tikka roll on a buttery naan, and other eat-on-the-go dishes that make it easier to dodge strollers and wandering tourists. Plus, they do an Irani cafe high tea during the week from 3-5pm—precisely when we like to retreat for cardamom-spiced masala chai, cookies, and a general reprieve from PCM chaos." - juli horsford, jacinta howard, nina reeder
