Anamika Roll Centre, New Alipore; Kusum Rolls, Park Street; Sher-e-Punjab, Shakespeare Sarani
“Anamika rolls (Sahapur, New Alipore; call 8820061334) are a childhood memory for me. Their rolls are very light and easy on the stomach. It’s a lesser-known space in the city, literally a hole in the wall. Kusum Rolls (21, Park St, Taltala; order on Zomato or call 8274030009) and Sher-e-Punjab (7/1A, A.J.C. Bose Road, Near Kala Mandir, Theatre Road; order on Zomato or call 3322414232) are both iconic and need no introduction. My favourites are the egg roll from Kusum’s and the paneer tikka roll from Sher-e-Punjab.” Saloni Jhunjhunwala, The Salt House
Kusum Rolls and Hot Kati Roll, Park Street
“Over the years, the kati roll has gained so much popularity that it’s hard to confine it to just one genre of food. It can be a quick lunch, a snack, a celebratory meal or a meal on the go. The versatility lies in the fact that it can be highly customised, everything is available and possible. Egg, egg-chicken, double egg-chicken, alu-anda, alu-cheese—every roll maker makes traditional rolls and has their own innovations too. In my opinion, the best roll is determined by not only the quality of the grilled meat, but also how crispy the paratha is. Everyone has their favourites but mine are Kusum Rolls (21, Mother Teresa Sarani, Taltala, Park Street area; order on Zomato or call 098310 66077) and Hot Kati Roll (1, Park St, Dharmatala, Park Street area; order on Zomato or call 9007196639) on Park Street. The parathas are very flaky and crispy, and the kebabs are well done.” Anindya Basu, food writer and food photographer
Nizam’s, Abdul Khalique & Sons, New Market Area; Campari, Zeeshan, Ballygunge area
“In Kolkata, there are lots of different types of kati roll. If you are looking at the most popular one, that’s definitely Nizam’s (23 & 24, Hogg St, near Axis Bank Atm, New Market Area, Dharmatala, Taltala; order on Zomato or call 7044723222). Nizam’s originally created the entire kebab roll scene. If you go beyond that, there is Abdul Khalique & Sons (27, Rafi Ahmed Kidwai Road, New Market Area; call 8420423132 to order) which is good and there is a different style of roll at Campari (155B, Rash Behari Ave, Dover Terrace, Ballygunge; call 098749 40570). Campari is very well-known for their chicken roll. They make a Bengali-style roll, which means that the roll has a lighter and thinner paratha, with chicken that is less spiced. It’s altogether lighter. One other place worth mentioning is Zeeshan (9/A, Syed Amir Ali Ave, Park Circus, Ballygunge; call 033 2280 6842) Zeeshan has been making kebab rolls for ages but their tikiya roll is seriously awesome.” Poorna Banerjee, food writer
