With six outlets in New York, and now one in London, this company is single handedly making the kati roll a foodie sensation (it's "a spicy mixture of meat and vegetables rolled in Indian flat-bread", in case you had to ask)

A kati roll is made of skewer-roasted fillings wrapped in a paratha – tasty Indian street food that hits the spot for a small but enthusiastic fan club amongst our reporters. With branches in Soho and Bethnal Green, they are imports from a four-strong Manhattan-based chain.

A taste of Kolkata, via New York – these “Indian fast-food” joints in Soho and Bethnal Green serve buttery paratha flatbreads rolled around fillings originally grilled on skewers (kati means skewer), the street food from home that founder Payal Saha missed when she moved to Manhattan 21 years ago.

“You’ll be lucky to get a seat at this bustling, Indian street-food outlet” in Soho – London outpost of an NYC-chain with six Manhattan locations. It serves “excellent, wholesome south-Asian-style filled rolls”“there’s a huge variety of rolls to choose from” – and “Bollywood posters and songs make up for what’s a very compact space”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
