It was a Saturday work and I have to stay even after the
lunch break since the work was taking too much time. And I did not want to eat
the regular stuff which I eat every time I eat outside. So I thought of taking
a walk to find some new place and I found a banner saying “Katti Kabab Company”.
Just went inside.
That is where the surprise was. That is the first place I have
seen for a typical Bengali food. The sticker on the door said, “Rolls from
Kolkatta
”. It’s a simple place with some long cushion seats. The place is much cleaner and it actually not like a regular food joint we are used to. No cluttered tables and chairs where you will be wondering way to reach the last table (if you have to). It was a different feel all together and that excited me.
Since I am a vegetarian, I have ordered a Panner roll and my
friend ordered a chicken roll. It was made fresh in the kitchen for us. I asked
the person on the bill counter whether I can see the kitchen. He was very much
open and he allowed us.
The kitchen was very neat and the food was made fresh. I am
actually tired of the food which was made and just warmed up before its
delivered. This gave a great freshness and the eagerness to eat. And another
good thing is they have different Tava and different grilling for both veg and
non-veg. They are completely separate
preparations and that gave me a peace of my mind because I am very particular
that my food is actually vegetarian and not a veg made with non-veg cooked
vessel.
The food is so yummy and filling. I still get watering when I
recollect the lemon flavor in the masala. Usually we don’t get it in the food
except the Punjabi food where the lemon is given separately. A slight dash of
lemon and chat masala was making the food so good and I happened to order the second
one. This time I asked for a wheat wrap instead of maida wrap.
At this place I should tell you guys on the price part. They
are very much wallet friendly. Two can finish their quick bites for just Rs.
250/-. Also they deliver in the nearby places if the bill is more than
Rs.350/-. (approximately just 3 rolls).
I felt that it’s the place for authentic Bengali katti
rolls. In Chennai I have not seen a place where I can get a Katti roll with an
authentic Bengali taste.
This place is a must visit. It’s not just a roll like a Frankie.
Its an enjoyment of Indian food in a modern form.
I came out with a happiness filled both in the stomach and
the heart!!!
Katti Kabab Company! A nice experience after a long time.
