Mumbai has frankies. Mumbai has wraps. What’s missing was, a proper ‘কলকাতা-चा’ roll.

So we decided to make one.

Flaky laccha paratha, smoky tawa-fresh fillings, crunchy onion, green chilli and a squeeze of lime. Made the Park Street way, on the streets of Vartak Nagar.

Kolkata's kathi roll has a new address: Thane.
Our story

We're Indrajit and Ipshita. We've been married four years, and for most of that time our favourite plan has been the same: hunt down a new place, a new dish, something we haven't tried yet. Food has always been where our best conversations happen.

When we came to Mumbai, the one thing we kept looking for and never found was a real Kolkata kathi roll: a flaky laccha paratha, smoky tawa-cooked filling, raw onion, green chilli and lime, rolled in paper and eaten standing on the street.

We'd always talked about doing something in food: good food, made properly, served with love. Ipi's is that: a little food truck with a sizzling tawa, bringing the taste of Kolkata's streets to yours. Amchi Kolkata, right here in Vartak Nagar.

🎂 We open on 23 January 2027. It's Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's birth anniversary, and it's Ipshita's birthday. We couldn't think of a better day to start.
How a Kolkata roll is made

Four steps. No shortcuts.

Every roll is made to order on the tawa, in front of you.

Laccha paratha

Maida dough, rested and layered, then cooked on a hot tawa until it's flaky and crisp.

Egg on, or extra crisp

For egg rolls, a beaten egg goes on the tawa and the paratha is pressed onto it so they cook together. That's the Kolkata signature. Veg rolls skip the egg and stay on the tawa a little longer for extra crunch.

Tawa-fresh filling

Marinated chicken, paneer, spiced aloo or slow-cooked mutton kasha, laid down the middle.

Onion, chilli, lime

Raw onion, green chilli, a squeeze of lime and sauce. Rolled in paper and handed over hot.

FAQ

What's the difference between a kathi roll and a frankie?

A Kolkata roll starts with a flaky, layered laccha paratha, cooked crisp on the tawa (for egg rolls, the egg is fried straight onto it). It's filled with tawa-seared meat, paneer or aloo and finished with raw onion, green chilli and lime. A frankie usually uses a softer roti and its own masala and sauces.

Do you have vegetarian rolls?

Yes: the Paneer Roll and the Aloo Roll, both made without egg.

Do you deliver?

Soon. We'll be on Swiggy and Zomato, and the Order now buttons on this page go live the day our listings do. People on the list hear first.

Who is Ipi?

Ipi is Ipshita, co-founder, chief taster, and the reason we open on 23 January.

Where exactly in Vartak Nagar?

We'll share the exact spot with the launch list first, then on Instagram, a few days before 23 January.
