Chapati House
“I have tried the pickled paneer, chicken tikka masala, the chicken makhani and more and none of them have disappointed.”
“My favorites of the add-ins are the spicy house mix and the yogurt coriander, but there really hasn't been one that i've disliked.”
“The perfect blend of chewiness from the roti, flavor and spice from the meat, and crunch or sweetness from the toppings.”

Had the lamb bhuna bombay frankie as a mid-afternoon snack and was pleased with the flavor of the curry and the value/size ration of the snack. The chapati used in the roll is not as good/pliable as the ones used a few blocks SE at Roti Roll Bombay Frankie but still quite doable.
I can't get enough of Indian Food.
Indian Food FOR LIFE!
It's so good. The system works like Chipotle. You see the different steps and different things you need to pick in order to create your indian Food.
Start with Salad, a Burrito or a Rice Bowl, moving on with the kind of rice you want, pick a sauce, topping etc. I think it's totally worth the money and peeking into their kitchen it seems like every single sauce they make it fresh and cook it right there.
It's great. If you're looking for an Indian place. Come here.
This place is a hidden gem in Harlem! I came here during my break from classes and I was blown away by the amount of choices they had for you to put in your rice bowl. From paneer to butter chicken to channa daal, everything was a delight! As an Indian myself, I must give this place credit for what they are serving. It is affordable and filling. I would definitely recommend everyone to stop by!
Love their roti rolls. The perfect blend of chewiness from the roti, flavor and spice from the meat, and crunch or sweetness from the toppings. So far, I've loved the chicken tikka masala and the lamb rolls. I like contrasting sweet, spicy, sour and salty, so I make sure to get some corn and tamarind sauce. Last time they accidentally gave me some small brown fried flour things. Best accident ever. The added little crunchies were so good. Super-affordable lunch in this area. Sweet! (And salty, spicy and sour).
Really enjoyed the bhelpuri. It reminds me of (not home, since I did not grow up in an Indian home), but of that one time we all hung out at our Indian friend's house and he made us bhelpuri and was super-insulted when one of us said it was like rice krispies. Ah, the memories.

This place is full of flavor! The curries are great (both vegetarian and meat dishes) and the roti is whole wheat, thin and fresh. You have the option to make a bowl with some combination of menu items or to order standard Indian fare. This is very fast, extremely casual delicious dining. You could spend under $10 at Chapati House, or if you order multiple dishes, more like $30 and have leftovers for days.
Note: portions are pretty large, so even if you only order one dish, you're likely to need two sittings to finish your meal.
The samosas are amazing and there are a myriad of chutneys to choose from- you can't go wrong no matter what flavors you're feeling. They actually listen to your preferences here when you ask for something to be made extra hot. Chicken tikka masala is pretty good, but the saag paneer is better. The spiced shrimp appetizer is a lot of little crustaceans for not a lot of money. They're a bit on the salty side, but otherwise very well-seasoned and flavorful.
Delivery is not your best option because you'll be waiting until next year, but if you're close by take-out is a fast option. I haven't disliked anything I've tried here and am happy to have this in the 'hood. There are a couple small tables inside, some stools by the window for additional seating. The staff are very nice and absolutely everything I've tried so far is mm mm good.
I was absolutely delighted when we stumbled upon this Indian restaurant in Harlem and even more so that they offer a variety of vegan options. Each dish is packed with flavor, and with the number of toppings to choose from the sky's the limit!
The roll is delicious and filing, think a giant Indian burrito! However, I would recommend the rice bowl which comes with two main entrees. My favorite so far has to be the lentil curry and the saag with chickpeas, add some tamarind sauce and you're good to go. I can appreciate that they have a special of the day, the veggie madras with coconut milk is appetizing I only wish I could have more. My only vegan beef with this place is that they are not in my neighborhood, I can definitely see myself here when I want to eat like a Queen on a budget.
Wonderful addition to this neighborhood, and unbeatable service too.
Quality Indian fast food in the hood. So glad that I tried this out for delivery. I ended up going for a rice bowl with two entree choices, which is such a good deal at 9.75 because it comes with two entrees, choice of rice, and 4 toppings + 2 sauces. My only complaint is that it comes with one piece of roti, which definitely isn't enough since there is so much food in the bowl.
Looking forward to trying out the other entrees since I just got a lamb and chicken dish. Delivery is really quick, which is a perk.
I absolutely love these Chipotle-style, tons of options for every diet, and flavorfully-packed food restaurants. I especially love Chapati House even more because it's Indian food. Most Indian restaurants in the area are sit-down where I get some naan and an entree with rice. Chapati has their own twist and it is wonderful. You can get a chapati roll or a rice bowl.
I got a rice bowl with white basmati rice, a choice of 2 entrees (eggplant and paneer), and four toppings (pickled mangoes, lettuce, tomatoes, onions), and their yogurt coriander sauce. It was so delicious, but really spicy (I have low spice tolerance but this didn't stop me from eating it. If you have good tolerance, you'll really love this). To balance that out, I went for their mango lassi, also sooooo delicious and a perfect combination. They also have some bombay frankies – I tried their mashed potato dumpling. It had coriander and a delicious potato mash! I think to make this even better, they should serve naan (like Indikitch does), but if they didn't I really wouldn't mind to be honest. I am definitely coming back because I also love the atmosphere, it is really clean and wonderful.
And to close it all off, this place is very affordable. Two mango lassi, one bombay frankie, and a rice bowl was $20.
