Chicken marinated with house spices, grilled until tender. Wrapped in crispy paratha with yogurt-mint chutney and red onions. Not too oily, with just the right amount of protein inside. A lighter option than the beef.
Beef marinated in house spices is grilled on skewers until tender and charred. Wrapped in crispy, flaky paratha bread with a yogurt-based mint-cilantro sauce and sliced red onions. Reviewers describe it as packed with flavor and excellent, reminiscent of street food from Karachi.
House-spiced fries that arrive hot and crispy. Served with a side of maple syrup for an unexpected sweet-savory pairing. Reviewers were initially puzzled by the combination but found it genuinely pleasant.
For vegetarians and vegans. Marinated plant-based protein is grilled with the same house spices, wrapped in crispy paratha with yogurt-mint chutney and red onions.
A complete meal: choose your paratha roll (beef, chicken, or plant-based) plus Diesel Fries.
Kolachi opened in November 2023, bringing authentic Pakistani street food to the East Village. Owners Kiran Lutfeali and Saif Qazi focus on paratha rolls—a late-night staple in Karachi. Everything is cooked to order with marinated proteins, flaky paratha bread, yogurt-mint chutney, and red onions.
Open until midnight every day—perfect for post-dinner snacks or late-night cravings. Much better than fast food alternatives.
Start with the Beef Paratha Roll. It's the signature item and reviewers consistently say it tastes like authentic Karachi street food.
Try the Diesel Fries even if the maple syrup pairing sounds odd. The spiced fries work surprisingly well with the sweet syrup.
