It's impossible to communicate with the guy beyond "lamb" or "chicken", and he inevitably makes the same thing regardless of my attempts to add words like "king koti" or "buradi". They're also always out of green sauce, chicken tikka, etc. And they don't wrap them up nicely like in the picture, they just get stuck in aluminum foil (trickier to eat on the go). Now, that's not to say that I don't enjoy the kati rolls anyway: it's my go-to "stuck at work late" dinner, but it's a whole different experience at lunch time when the owner is there.

Chennai and Buradi are very noticeably sweeter and spicier respectively. The Veg one has not meat, and the PWCD has egg and potatoes, so they are also distinct.

All of them are good, but the Chennai is the only one that has any sweetness.
