About Kati Roll

The kati roll comes from Kolkata: a flaky paratha, sometimes with egg cooked onto it, wrapped around kebabs, onion, chili and lime. It was first made at Nizam's restaurant in the 1930s.

Regional versions

Chicken tikka, mutton and egg rolls are the classics. Paneer and aloo rolls cover vegetarians, and many places offer a double egg version. In Mumbai a similar wrap is called a frankie.

What to order with it

It is easy to eat on the go. A cold drink or a mango lassi goes well with it.

How this list is made

We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.
