"The Kati Roll Company specializes in Kolkata-style rolls involving kebabs and paneer wrapped in pan-fried parathas. The Bryant Park location has a few tables if you want to take a quick breather with a cup of chai, but kathi rolls are also an obvious choice for a portable lunch on the go. There are seven vegetarian and six meat options, with everything from shami kebab and chicken tikka to egg with tons of mint chutney mixed in, and our favorite: a tangy achari paneer roll flavored with spicy vegetable and fruit pickles." - bryan kim, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
"The Kati Roll Company is known for its kathi rolls, which have their origins in Kolkata, India. The venue is part of the diverse roll culture in New York City, serving traditional Indian street food to its patrons." - Jess Eng
"Of all the markets to monopolize in Manhattan, The Kati Roll Company bet on simple street food and won. There are around five vegetarian and five meat kathi roll options at this chain’s multiple New York locations. These include shami kebab, chicken tikka, an egg roll with tons of mint chutney, and our personal favorite, a tangy achari paneer roll flavored with spicy vegetable and fruit pickles. The Bryant Park location has a few tables if you want to take a quick breather with a cup of chai." - neha talreja

"This Indian street food restaurant began serving fast-casual way before it was a thing in New York. Now, 15 years after opening, Kati Roll and its stuffed paratha flatbreads are a go-to. Kati rolls are all under $8 and include options like beef tikka with eggs, a chicken tikka roll, and a roll stuffed with a lamb and lentil patty. Two will fill someone up." - Jasmine Ting
