"The Kati Roll Company is a small spot on Poland Street that you might miss if you’re rushing away from the Oxford Street hordes, but it’s worth tracking back for. Their wraps are some of the best we’ve had. Whether you’re eating in or taking away, or opt for one of their many vegetarian rolls or something a bit more meaty like beef tikka or shami kabab, they’re not going to set you back much money and will keep you going until the end of the day." - Oliver Feldman, Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver, Rianne Shlebak

"Your order: Shami kebab roll - £5 A couple of moist and flaky paratha rolls filled chana masala, achari paneer, or beef tikka are just a few of the things you can get from The Kati Roll Company. The clue is in the name here because you shouldn’t be bothering to look at anything with rice or anything other than rolls, really. You probably want a couple: something veggie and something meaty we’d say - and for £10 you’ll be hard pressed to find two things that are as flavourful and filling around central." - jake missing

"Take a pliable, flaky paratha and wrap it round mashed potato enriched with chilli, onion, tomato and spices. Or wrap it around achar-marinated paneer, or beef tikka, or freshly beaten egg. The permutations are dizzying at The Kati Roll Company, but the masala potato option — as perfect an expression of double-carbing as exists in the capital — should always be one of them. Just remember to add a cup or two of restorative chai to stave off the very real threat of an unplanned afternoon-spanning nap." - George Reynolds

Tried the chicken unda and shami kebab rolls here, but was disappointed. The chicken unda roll lacked the freshness of a freshly cooked egg, though the chicken and pink onions were flavorful. The shami kebab roll was very dry and crumbly, despite having a nice flavor. The rolls needed more sauce or moisture in the ingredients maybe a bit of fresh salad. The waiters were attentive and provided good service however the food was not. Since I arrived late, we had to eat outside. Good flavors, but it could be better.

We love this place and have been popping in when we pass since it opened. My current favourite is the aloo masala rolls. The potato melts in your mouth and the flavour is outstanding. Not too hot and the mango lassi is the perfect accompaniment. This is the place to go if you fancy a smaller Indian meal and the old movie art on the walls is perfect.

Having tried this a few years back in New York (where the staff there mentioned there's branches in London too), I've had this on my to-do list. Sadly it did not live up to my fond memory of the New York one. I tried a chicken unda roll as well as a shami kebab roll. The chicken unda roll didn't taste like the egg was freshly cooked onto it - I suspect either they made them in advance or it was cooked for too long - this really makes a difference between it being fine and amazing. The chicken itself has a nice enough flavour, and the pink onions add nice contrast. The shami kebab roll was very dry, to the point that the 'croquette' was basically crumbly dry minced meat. The flavour was nice, but it needed more moisture. One huge gripe I have - charging 50p for a tiny pot of sauce on top of the already quite high price is a bit of a p*** take in my opinion - they should offer one free pot with each roll given how dry they are (or at least sauce up the contents of the Kati rolls a bit more). All in all, there are good flavours here, but it's not quite as good as it could be.

Great atmosphere, fantastic food, superb value and friendly staff. The staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly. The rolls came within 5 minutes, which i was very impressed by I ordered the paneer and chicken tikka rolls. The paneer's marinade was an explosion of flavour in my mouth and was divine, plus the added texture of the vegetables reslly made the dish. Whilst the chicken was cooked to absolute perfection, it was tender, succulent and packed full of a combination of Indian flavours that packed a punch and had real depth in flavour.

Fresh, tasty and super cheap quick service option. My aloo paratha was only £5 with a dip. It was busy on a Sunday but I didn't have to wait longer than 5 minutes for my food. The wrap is pretty compact and a little greasy but overall the potato was soft and flavourful.

A lovely place to go to for those feeling nostalgic about streetside kati rolls in Kolkata. Both veg and non-veg options are available, and Kadak Chai to go with your choice of roll. Could be a bit less oily though! The interior is decorated with posters of old Bollywood movies, that adds character to the small but neat shop.

Delicious Kati rolls with a good variety of fillings to choose from. Called frankies in Mumbai and famous in Bengal, basicly a roti wrap with a delicious filling. These are available all over India. This place sells good Kati rolls with authentic taste. Cheap enough for a quick bite whilst in Soho and tasty enough to want to return for more. We had the king prawn one, delicious!

I had chicken rice bowl yesterday. The quantity was very good for this amount and it tasted good. The atmosphere is not so good, it is like an indian dhaba and the seating quality is not very nice but all the food is cheap so it makes up for it. Sometimes the restaurant is very crowded but it wasn’t yesterday so I was able to enjoy my food. The staff was very nice and friendly.
