As a foodie, I am always trying new as well as local things of different cuisines.
Kati Rolls are one of those street food items from Kolkata where you have roasted kebab meat wrapped in a paratha bread in the form of a roll.
The ones I have tried are the Frankie Rolls from Kailash Parbat also known as Kathi rolls but now everyone uses the name Kati rolls.
In the UK, there are many places for Kati rolls but not so in Hong Kong which is why I am so glad Bengal Brothers has debuted in Wanchai.
As well as rolls, they also have these first-class bowls, again what every one is doing these days with a fragrant rice/whole grain rice base topped with the same ingredients as the rolls so you can either choose the bowls or wraps.
The modern twist here is that they use fine ingredients like braised short rib beef, pulled pork and quality lamb which people can relate to.
All the rolls are freshly made in house with flakey parathas drizzled with tangy chutney and crunchy fresh salad.
To start, how could I not try the [BB classic roll] which is filled with freshly beaten egg and chicken tikka, mint & cashew chutney, house pickles.
It was really tasty as all the goodies was wrapped in this flaky paratha and the pickles and sauces were moreish with the chicken.
Also had the [Sweet potato chaat] which was drizzled with pomegranate, yoghurt & chutney.
It was a lovely healthy twist with sweet potatoes and refreshing bursts from the pomegranite and honey.
Last but not least was the Fresh mango Lassi.
Overall, I really enjoyed it as this place specializes in Kati Roll with so many choices.
The design of the this joint is hip and young which is perfect for grab and go especially being right in the office area.
Food ergonomics were well thought out too with a good wrap design which makes the rolls easy to eat.
There is a bar table to dine there so you can sit there while you wait or even dine there.
The self ordering kiosk is self explanatory and you can even order online through their website.
