I find Kati Rolls at Biryani Cart & Kati Roll to be way too greasy.

Just stopped at Indus Express and they no longer make Frankies (no eggs involved).

Anyone know of a spot in Midtown that does??

Not for lunch, but for dinner, the Table downstairs area has an awesome lamb sandwich (Naanini). It’s $16, but it’s enough for two people. Shredded lamb, mashed potatoes, drool that I put on it…

They should sell THAT for lunch under the ML price point.

Here it would be wrapped in a hot fresh Naan….with lots of Mango and Red onions….with two skewers of chicken or lamb tikka…with maybe Doner(Gyro) for the salad dodgers out there.

Gonna order one….NOW!

Interesting- I was first introduced to the frankie in Lucknow, which is in northern India, far from Mumbai. I would stop by a stand just before the main thoroughfare that offered only “mutton,” “chicken” and “veg.” fillings. Those frankies actually had egg inside the roll, and resembled more of an advanced taquito or a traditional Juarez style burrito than any kind of modern Western burrito.

In any case, I STILL haven’t made it out to the Kati roll places in the city, but I’ll be making an extra effort to do so soon!
