Loading ...Early Looks At Tiffin Etc.
Posted by Foobooz on August 28th, 2009
Tiffin Etc., the Indian pizza spot on Girard Avenue next to the hugely successful Tiffin has been open just about two weeks now, plenty of time for ambitious bloggers to get a chance to check it out.
Phoodie tries the savory shakes out as he waits for the Keema Mattar pizza.
I tried the Keema Mattar version, which consists of minced lamb, English peas, cilantro mint pesto, and Ricotta cheese. The crust is absurdly thin and hefty enough to hold the toppings above, yet still supremely tender and flavorful. The lamb is so juicy without being greasy, and the toothsome peas add the needed texture to the pie. The Ricotta is lightly kissed atop the meat in an organized mess, and the whole pizza itself is quite the looker. Oh yeah, the pie is only $5. Deal with that.

Unbreaded takes a look at the kati rolls. Wraps stuffed with chicken lamb or vegetarian offerings.
The brilliance of Nayak’s kati rolls lies in the egg-coated flat bread, which is cooked in the tandoori oven, giving it a flaky consistency that is strong enough to hold together until the last bite.

my delivery was ruined by the atrociousness of the pizza crust and lack of flavor in the saag paneer pizza. i’m gonna stick to ekta. the kati was tasty, though.

I wouldn’t go with delivery because the crust is almost Naan quality and after hanging around steam for so long, it has the tendency to wilt. Only eat in.

CEF: maybe my crust was more well done or maybe it has to do with the toppings but it wasn’t like naan at all. in fact it had a nice crunch to it. better than some more traditional italian crusts i’ve had in the city.
but i agree. dont judge on delivery alone.

well, for a place that is supposed to be delivery centric (according, at least, to foobooz’s earlier posting), that’s a huge mistake if their dough can’t travel.
besides, it wasn’t the wilting, it was the overly-floured and undercooked flavor of the dough and the complete lack of flavor in the saag pizza toppings. besides which, tiffin’s naan travels infinitely better than that pizza did.
plus, the kati did well in its travels. maybe i got a bad day with the dough.
