Located at 99 MacDougal Street between Bleecker and West 3rd, Kati Roll is a late-night Indian joint that specializes in the fast and greasy food that NYU students crave after a night out. Open till 5 am, this small establishment serves up freshly skewered and grilled spiced meats, vegetables, and cheeses, which are then wrapped in a buttered paratha, or Indian flatbread.
Diners can choose from simple rolls--chicken, beef, aloo (potato), paneer (cheese)--or choose to add unda (egg) to any roll. Each wrap is topped off with raw onions and a dollop of chutney. The menu is simple, but the flavors are bold, spicy, and extremely satisfying, and for 4.75 a roll, it is definitely worth a try, especially if you find yourself craving a midnight snack. You can check out their menu on their website (below) or just stop in for a cheap and tasty meal that will have you coming back for more. One thing to keep in mind: there is 20-dollar minimum for credit cards, so unless you’re planning on really chowing down, make sure you bring cash.
