| - There are very few places in the US (outside Jackson Heights/New Jersey, I'm sure) that serve the one of a kind Bombay Frankie - a stuffed paratha filled burrito-style with vegetable or meat curry, lovely chutneys, and other delicious fixings! When I heard that Zyggy's just opened this past superbowl Sunday, I just had to see for myself if this ranked up there with Roti Rolls in Morningside Heights, NYC.
When I walked in to the tackily- decorated restaurant, with murals of twilight at the beach and Aishwariya Rai enjoying a drink with a man I could only describe as an Indian creeperton, I was a bit taken aback. But, I was immediately greeted by the staff, who were all extremely friendly! I ordered the paneer "Zyggy" roll - cubes of paneer marinated in a masala sauce with onions and bell pepper, topped of with a spicy ginger chutney. They ask you what level of spice you would like on a scale from 1-10, and I was able to handle my roll at a whopping 9 - much to the surprise of the staff.
Admittedly, Zyggy's doesn't live up to Roti Roll goodness, but it definitely beats out the much popular Kati Roll Factory in Times Square, and the sad little Los Angeles knock-off Kabob Korner on Pioneer Blvd. I can't wait to try the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Pav Bhaji (which they describe as an Indian-version of a Sloppy Joe for their midwestern patrons!) For C-U, this place rocks! I wish them oodles of success!
