The first in what it is hoped will be a new national chain of Indian street food takeaways is to open this week in Harrow, Middlesex, the Press Association reports.
Specialising in ’roomali roti kati rolls’, Turban Street Café is the brainchild of chef Ashish Bhatia, who aims to showcase recipes inspired by the street food markets of India.
The menu will offer a variety of fresh kati rolls made from roomali roti, an ultra-thin and soft ‘handkerchief bread’, filled with various meats and vegetables including lamb, chicken tikka, and spicy chickpeas.
Bhatia, who originates from Mumbai, says he wants to expand the brand nationally. Quoted in PA, he said: “In this day and age where Indian food has been reformed to the most sophisticated level, it has somehow lost its essence and authenticity.
“At Turban Street Café I am going to be bringing a very simple and honest plate of food to my guests, inspired by age old traditions and simplicity. We are redefining Indian street food.”
