Around the corner from a coin laundry and across from Brooklyn Fire Station is a station of another sort, one all about the flaky, buttery flatbread parotta. The restaurant is heralded by sunny yellow signage and inside it’s a laminate-benched, faux-brick-wallpapered, help- yourself-to-the-drinks-fridge sort of joint where much of the clientele comes for takeaway.
The eponymous flatbread is stuffed with herbs and shredded egg for mutta parotta, while salna parotta pairs it with a sweet, fragrant masala gravy. Swipe yet more of it through smoky, cardamom-heavy butter chicken.
Lamb kothu – a savoury hurricane of a dish big on black pepper with chopped egg, curry leaves and green chilli – uses sliced parotta. The restaurant is halal so there’s no booze, but soft drinks and lassi get the job done.
