A West Village Indian spot that just opened their first New Jersey location last month is already plotting their second Garden State entry, as The Kati Roll Company has set its sights on Hoboken for their next restaurant.
The Hoboken Historical Commission heard a signage application at their August 3 meeting for 514 Washington Street. The ground-floor space has had a run of bad luck as of late; it was home to the relatively short-lived DoneRight Doner Kebab for about a year and housed the once-trendy Brooklyn Dumpling Shop before that.
The fast-casual Indian spot that has operated in New York City for over 24 years, being launched by Payal Saha shortly after she moved from her hometown of Kolkata to New York City in 2002. Initially opening in Greenwich Village, the restaurant has since grown from a single restaurant into a brand with multiple locations throughout the world.

The Kati Roll Company’s Jersey City outpost opened last month at 924 Bergen Avenue. The New Jersey franchise is being operated by Jay Sorathiya, who also runs JJ Sports Bar near the Journal Square PATH station.
Sorathiya will also be helming the planned Hoboken outpost, which will be bringing all the restaurant’s cuisine over to the Mile Square City. Signature rolls include their Achari Paneer Roll, filled with Indian farmer’s cheese marinated in Achari pickling spices, or their Unda Chicken Tikka Roll, layered with freshly beaten egg and chicken breast marinated in yogurt and spices.

The menu also features rice and salad bowls, including the Steak Rice Bowl with grilled Steak Tikka cubes over biryani rice or a Paneer Salad Bowl with grilled Achari Paneer cubes. All meals at The Kati Roll Company are served with spicy mashed potatoes, fresh salad with cilantro-lime dressing, white raita sauce, green chutney, and caramelized red onions.
The restaurant additionally serves house-made Alphonso Mango Lassis made with organic yogurt, as well as freshly made spicy potato chips. An opening timeline for the Hoboken version of The Kati Roll Company has not been announced.
