Classic deli sandwiches get a savory Indian twist

New York's West Village is home to a unique deli that's shaking up the classic sandwich game with an Indian twist. Fonty's Deli + Dukaan, founded by co-founder Viraj Borkar, is serving up bold and unexpected flavors that blend traditional Indian spices with modern American deli fare.

The brainchild of Borkar, who hails from India, these sandwiches are a far cry from the usual pastrami on rye. Instead, you can find creative combinations such as chicken tikka masala paninis and lamb vindaloo wraps. The result is a delicious fusion that is both familiar and exotic.

At Fonty's Deli + Dukaan, customers can expect to be treated to a culinary experience that is equal parts East meets West. The menu boasts an array of unique sandwiches that blend Indian spices with classic deli ingredients. But what sets these sandwiches apart from the usual suspects is the bold flavors and unexpected combinations.

The founders of Fonty's Deli + Dukaan take inspiration from their home in India to create sandwiches that are not only delicious but also uniquely flavored. Whether it's a chicken tikka masala panini or a lamb vindaloo wrap, each sandwich is carefully crafted to showcase the bold flavors and spices of Indian cuisine.

As Borkar notes, "We're taking inspiration from my own culture and bringing those flavors to this new audience." The result is a culinary experience that is both familiar and excitingly new. Fonty's Deli + Dukaan is definitely worth a visit for foodies looking to try something different.
