KATHIPURA ROLLS: Kathirolls of Kolkata – Authentic, Iconic, Unforgettable
If there’s one dish that captures the heart of Kolkata’s bustling streets and culinary soul, it’s the kathi roll. A flaky, golden paratha wrapped around a flavorful filling—whether it’s spiced paneer, juicy kebabs, or stir-fried veggies—layered with tangy sauces, crunchy onions, and a dash of chaat masala. It’s quick, it’s flavorful, it’s messy in the best way possible. And it’s exactly what we set out to perfect at Kathipura Rolls.
At Kathipura, we don’t just serve food—we serve nostalgia wrapped in a roll. Our mission is simple yet ambitious: to bring the authentic, street-side magic of Kolkata’s kathi rolls to food lovers everywhere, while keeping true to the traditions that made them iconic.
The Soul of the Streets
The story of the kathi roll dates back to the lanes of Kolkata, where bustling markets, honking trams, and late-night adda sessions formed the perfect backdrop for a hand-held meal that was satisfying, spicy, and deeply personal. The term “kathi” comes from the wooden skewers once used to cook kebabs over coal fires. Originally made with skewered mutton wrapped in parathas, the dish has since evolved into a versatile comfort food with countless vegetarian and non-vegetarian variations.
At Kathipura, we’ve taken this rich legacy and given it a fresh platform—a clean, welcoming, and vibrant space where the spirit of the Kolkata street roll meets modern dining expectations. Here, every roll is a story. Every bite is a journey.
Authentic Flavors, Honest Food
What sets us apart at Kathipura Rolls is our unwavering commitment to authenticity. From our freshly kneaded dough to the house-made sauces, every element of our rolls is crafted with care and rooted in tradition.
Our parathas are made the old-school way: rolled by hand, pan-fried on the tawa with just the right amount of crispiness and softness. Not too oily, not too dry—just enough bite to hold the fillings together while still melting in your mouth. We use a proprietary blend of flours to get that perfect texture, and every paratha is made to order.
The fillings? Oh, that’s where the magic happens. Whether you’re sinking your teeth into Chicken Tikka Roll, Mutton Seekh Roll, Egg Double Roll, or our innovative Cheesy Paneer Masala Roll, you’ll taste the depth of marination, the slow-cooked flavors, and the unmistakable warmth of home-style spices.
Vegetarian? We’ve got you covered with a range of options like Aloo Chaat Roll, Mushroom Masala Roll, and the fan-favorite Kolkata-Style Eggless Paneer Bhurji Roll—each one bursting with its own character.
And it’s not just about the main fillings. It’s the combination of sauces, salad, seasoning, and roll-wrapping technique that makes our rolls truly unforgettable. The result is a beautiful balance of texture, flavor, and heat—all tucked into one portable masterpiece.
More Than Just Rolls
While kathi rolls are our pride and signature, Kathipura Rolls is about more than just one dish. It’s about a culture of street food, about celebrating the everyday heroes of India’s food scene—the vendors, the spice-masters, the tandoor artists, the people who cook with intuition and heart.
To honor that diversity, we’ve also introduced complementary items on our menu that enhance the Kathipura experience: spiced fries with tangy chutneys, chilled beverages that soothe your spice-struck tongue, and classic desi sodas with a fizzy kick.
We’re also working on seasonal specials, inspired by festivals, regional flavors, and customer suggestions. Think fusion rolls like Achari Jackfruit, Butter Chicken Kathi Taco, or Biryani-in-a-Roll. Because at Kathipura, we believe that food evolves—but it never forgets where it comes from.
Fresh. Fast. Full of Heart.
One of our founding principles was that great food should be quick but never compromised. That’s why our kitchens run like a well-oiled street stall—but with modern efficiencies, hygiene standards, and thoughtful sourcing.
We prepare everything fresh daily—from marinations to dough to chutneys. No shortcuts. No frozen pre-packaged nonsense. Just real ingredients, real flavors, and real smiles.
In fact, we’ve made it our goal to bring back the joy of street food in a way that feels safe, clean, and consistent. We want people to feel the same excitement they’d get from an evening walk through a food bazaar—only without the worry.
Designing a Space Around the Roll
The experience at Kathipura Rolls is more than just food—it’s an ambience. Our outlets are designed with a street-style aesthetic fused with a bold, modern vibe—bright murals, quirky Kolkata-inspired artwork, roll-themed graffiti, and seating that encourages casual, shared experiences.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch on your break, meeting a friend for evening snacks, or treating yourself after a long day, Kathipura is your go-to spot. The energy is laid-back, the music is upbeat, and the staff? Friendly, fast, and just as passionate about rolls as you are.
A Roll for Every Mood
One of the things we love most at Kathipura is seeing how one simple dish connects so many different people. College students, office-goers, travelers, late-night foodies, nostalgic Kolkatans—it’s a crowd-pleaser like no other.
Craving something spicy and intense? Go for the Double Mutton Roll with extra onions and green chili chutney.
In the mood for something mellow and hearty? The Paneer Bhurji Roll or Egg Cheese Roll is your best bet.
Feeling experimental? Try a fusion roll with global influences—our rotating specials take inspiration from Mexican, Thai, Lebanese, and even Italian flavors.
Because every roll has a personality. And every customer finds their own favorite.
From One Stall to Many
Our journey started with a vision: to bring the kathi roll to the forefront of the Indian fast-casual scene, without losing the soul that makes it special. Today, Kathipura Rolls is proud to have multiple outlets and a growing family of food lovers who swear by our rolls.
But we’re not stopping there. With plans to expand through new locations, food delivery partnerships, pop-ups, and even international ventures, our dream is to see Kathipura Rolls become a household name—a brand that people associate with authenticity, flavor, and that unmistakable Kolkata charm.
Community, Culture, and Chutney
At our core, we believe in being more than just a food brand. Kathipura Rolls is a tribute to India’s street food heritage, a salute to the unsung chefs of the sidewalk, and a love letter to a city that has always eaten with heart.
We collaborate with local artists, support small-scale spice suppliers, and train our staff not just in cooking, but in storytelling. Because every roll we serve carries a history, and we want you to taste it in every bite.
We’ve also started community initiatives—like ‘Rolls for a Cause’, where every month, we donate meals to those in need. After all, what’s food without sharing?

So whether you’re a kathi roll veteran or a curious first-timer, Kathipura Rolls invites you in. Come for the crunch, the flavor, the sauce-dripping-down-your-fingers goodness. Come for the stories, the spice, the smiles. Come for Kolkata’s most iconic export—wrapped in tradition, delivered with love. Because here at Kathipura, we’re not just making rolls. We’re rolling memories, one bite at a time.
