NYC's New Hit Sandwich Is an Indian-ish Sensation - Sandwich City - NYT Cooking

On a tucked-away side street in the West Village is Fonty’s Deli + Dukaan, a nascent spot that has drawn lines down the block for its “Indian-ish” sandwiches.

Of all the sandwiches at Fonty’s, none have taken off quite like the Naanini — a panini-style creation pressed between freshly baked naan and filled with options like chicken tikka, Kerala beef or chana masala, plus toppings such as cheese and pickled onions.

For the co-owners Viraj Borker, Varsha Harlalka and Arjun Gupta, the sandwiches at Fonty’s aren’t gimmicks, they’re a point of connection — blending cultures, flavors and backgrounds into something that reflects the American immigrant experience in a familiar, beloved form.
