Masala Kitchen: Kati Rolls & Platters

Masala Kitchen: Kati Rolls & Platters is a terrific spot for a casual lunch near Rittenhouse Square. Its floor-to-ceiling windows provide plenty of light and service is quick and friendly.Though my fellow diner's kati rolls looked terrific, I went with a Chicken Biryani (overnight marinated chicken cubes cooked along with Basmati rice on slow fire) platter, extra spicy. It was the perfect level of spice, well-balanced by the lettuce and pita provided on the side of the platter.Definitely recommend indulging in a mango lassi drink from the fridge--a thick and sweet treat!

I've been living in Philly for a few months now and I don't know why it took me so long to discover Masala Kitchen, but as they say, better late than never. This place is right in my neighborhood and I pass it every day, but not until one recent late night search for food lead me to try it. I've been ordering regularly ever since, making my way through their menu one delicious option at a time. Food 5/5"Your Masaliscious order is ready!"This is the text you get once you've ordered from Masala Kitchen and the last time I saw it on my phone, I thought, oh yeah! Couldn't be truer. The first couple of times I ordered from Masala, I ordered Kati rolls, both vegan and meat varieties. I hadn't known this type of Indian food on Long Island, so I had no idea what I was ordering. Now I think of it as a kind of Indian-style burrito...so yummy, and I was hooked from that first visit. I've subsequently tried a couple of their platters, a bit on the healthier side, and they were equally delicious! Highly satisfying!Atmosphere 5/5The dining room at Masala is pleasant, open, clean and tastefully decorated, with plenty of seating, more akin to a takeout place than a restaurant.Service 5/5I have yet to have any sort of negative experience with anyone on staff at Masala. Everyone who's helped me has been super friendly and efficient, and this makes me happier to patronize the establishment.SummaryIf you're in the Rittenhouse area and looking for something satisfying that's flavorful and delicious, I highly recommend giving Masala Kitchen: Kati Rolls and Platters a try.

I stayed in a hotel in Rittenhouse Square for one night, getting into town on the late side, so I DoorDashed Masala Kitchen. I ordered both the achari paneer and the paneer masala because I couldn't decide between them. I can't get kati rolls near me, so I wanted to indulge a little!My order wasn't packaged as well as it could've been, so the sauces leaked a little, and the rolls were a little bit greasier than I'd have liked. Overall, though, they were really tasty, and I'd definitely order from this spot again if I were back in town.

If you're looking for a quick, filling, and affordable meal in the Rittenhouse Square area, would highly recommend checking out Masala Kitchen!I got a Chicken Masala kati roll on whole wheat, which looked small but was actually quite filling and very flavorful. They also had self-serve sauces (white sauce, hot sauce) that you could have with the dishes. What was really amazing was the price -- one Kati roll for ~$6-7! Food:1. Chicken Masala Kati Roll (4.5/5)

Overall a okay spot to grab a quick bite, especially after drinking at night because of their opening hour. Also some vegetarian and vegan options. Got the orange coconut lassi and it tasted like cheesecake! The Anda Curry Platter was a limited time item and the only curry dish in the menu.Don't forget the hot sauce!

Can't say enough good things about this place. Inexpensive, filling, authentic, and delicious. The service is good and I always see couples getting a bite before their next stop on date night. Laid back easygoing street food one of my favorite lunch spots in the city. Pro-tip get the Rose Lassi

Yummmm I loved the mango lassi and my chicken tikka masala roll. This place is a casual spot for Indian street food and it delivered! My roll was a bit spicy but overall delicious!

I was excited to try this place and finally decided to stop playing around and get them. Ordered the Chicken Tawa and Achari Paneer and Rose Lassi to wash it down. Taste: For me, the chicken tawa was on the salty side and interestingly enough, the achari paneer was more on the blend side. I did put the white sauce and hot sauce together but it didnt enhance the flavor for me.Price: inexpensive. I will give this place another try because who knows I probably picker the wrong items.

Refreshing Indian flavors in the middle of Philadelphia! Small, hole in the wall kinda place but delivers what it promises. Doesn't offer the zing offered in New Jersey restaurants perhaps but food has clean and fresh flavors. Recommend.

Walked in randomly. Was pleasantly surprised. What flavorful Kati rolls. As a vegetarian ordered the Paneer Masala and Jeera Gobi. Can't say which one was my favorite. Nice clean place. Good service. Will be back when I am back in Philly.Wolfed down the food too quickly to take a picture.
