KATI ROLL
MIDTOWN WEST, NYC
There's always a line here but it's because the food is delicious. The lines are long but they make the orders quick and it's organized. It's about two blocks from Bryant Park; since it's pretty packed inside during their week day lunch hour it's nice to grab a table at the park and eat there. They have their menus scattered on tables there so I would pick one up when you're in line so you know what to order when it's your turn.
Order Please
I got two of their rolls, the Aloo Masala and the Chicken Tikka. When I had the Aloo Masala the first time, I really enjoyed it however this time not so much. The potatoes inside were too mashed that they didn't have any texture to it. The Chicken Tikka roll had cubed chicken pieces inside of a paratha with red onion slivers coated in green chutney-- amazing!
Libations
One can never have too much chai so when I saw they had Masala chai of course I had to try it! Its scalded milk with black tea with notes of cardamom. It had a smooth consistency and the floral notes in the chai was not harsh. I know I'll be back again to get their chai and perhaps something else on the menu when I'm in that location again.
