We finally made it to this much-talked-about Deli/Dukaan, and we were genuinely excited to try the sandwiches everyone has been hyping. First of all, I absolutely love the concept of an Indian-inspired deli — such a fun and refreshing idea.

Here’s our honest experience:
We started with their chai and enjoyed it so much that we ordered it twice. The Vada Pav had really good flavors, though the bun leaned a bit on the sweeter side since it was more of an American-style bread. The Eggplant Bhaja sandwich wasn’t our favorite — the flavors felt a little muted and the texture was softer than expected, so we would probably skip that next time. The Bombay Sandwich, which has been getting a lot of buzz, tasted delicious — while it’s not the traditional Mumbai-style version, it was still flavorful and enjoyable.

The space itself is super cozy, though seating is limited and it fills up quickly, so visiting during off-hours might give you a better experience.

They also have a really cool selection of Indian-American products — definitely things I’d love to try in the future.

This spot located in west village of NYC is called  fontysdeli_dukaan. It gets a 6.5 from us overall. It’s a cute place with great service, and while I may not go out of my way to visit, I’d absolutely be open to trying some of their other items next time I’m in the neighborhood.
