With onions, tomatoes, green peppers, and spicy green chilies, this is basically a delicious Indian-spiced breakfast burrito. Make sure you dip a few bites in the spicy green cilantro-rich sauce

Their paneer burji kati roll is their best. They make good Punjabi style chai as well.

DELICIOUS DEBUTS Chicken Tikka
Desi Galli: A Nod to London's Brick Lane

Desi Galli, a new Indian café, located in the Murray Hill, neighborhood appropriately nicknamed Curry Hill, has opened its doors recently. Owned by the popular Bhatti Indian Grill, Desi Galli serves classic Indian street food staples, such as chicken tikka or lamb bhuna, in a unique and nontraditional way that separates Desi Galli from other Indian eateries.

Recently, ethnic sandwich shops have opened around the city. By taking flavors and ingredients that are outside the comfort zone for many New Yorkers and creating something utterly familiar, such as a sandwich, has been very successfully for many eateries. Desi Galli, which means Indian alley, follows suit of Korean and Vietnamese sandwich shops, such as Kimchi Taco Truck, Num Pang, and others, to create customizable sandwiches using authentic Indian flavors. The foundation for the two sizes of sandwiches (roll-in and slide-in) are India’s world class bread varieties such as Northern India’s parantha, roomali roti, a bread from Central India, and Galli’s own whole wheat vegan parantha bread. Along with traditional fillings found on the "Galli Signature Roll" menu, Desi Galli offers their patrons vegan options such as spiced chickpeas, spiced potatoes, and more.
