Botiwalla is one of the fast causal restaurants on the main floor food hall of Ponce City Market. You order at the counter, and can sit within their space, or "to go" if you sit in the main hall. The rest of my group had ordered from another restaurant, so I picked my order up from the counter space. The menu is a good length, sandwiches, salads, sides, sodas, and a couple alcoholic drink options. I had the smashed potatoes, the fish sandwich, and their raspberry/lime soda. Everything was fantastic, very flavorful, ingredients balanced. My niece had not wanted to order as she was unsure about whether she'd like the flavors, and she does not do spicy. She loved everything. The potatoes have a light kick of spice, I would put them in the flavorful category over spicy, Could not be happier with my food hall choice. read more

I'll be genuinely sad to lose access to Botiwalla when I return to California. This place provided one of the best bites I had during my time in Atlanta. You order at the counter, receive a number, and seat yourself. The decor was bright, and combined with the upbeat music, the atmosphere was lively. FOOD: Maharja Lamb Burger (5/5) - Two lamb sliders. So wonderfully seasoned and juicy. No gamey taste that is usually associated with lamb at all. Crispy Masala Fish Roll (5/5) - Fish perfectly cooked, wrapped in a soft, hot naan. Excellent flavors. How could I complain? No notes. SERVICE: Food came out pretty fast after we ordered, even though it was pretty busy in there. The person who brought out our food was also super friendly and struck up a conversation with us. TLDR// Easily one of the best meals I had in Atlanta. Sad that I can no longer eat here when I leave. Highly recommend. read more

Haven't had really good Indian food in so long. There were so many people waiting in line. People were saying that it's pretty authentic and one of the best ones around. I got the tikka masala plate with an extra skewer. I thought it would be saucy like the ones you'd normally get an Indian restaurant. But I was wrong. The marinade was the tikka masala flavor. The rice had different spices but was good. Pricey but worth it! Highly recommended! read more

I had the lamb Seekh kebab roll from Botiwalla and I quite enjoyed it! I definitely liked how the lamb tasted. Initially, I thought the roll was pricey for $16, but after eating it, it wasn't as small as it originally looked. read more

If you like Chai Pani, you'll love Botiwalla. And if you don't like Chai Pani, you still might like Botiwalla!! This place is such a good stop on the Beltline at PCM - they have the perfect food for a long day of walking and site seeing - not too heavy but filling and flavorful. Have gotten many menu items here, but best IMO are SPDP for appetizer and chicken tikka roll for main. Drinks were good too but nothing special. Service is pretty fast as well. read more

AMAZING! That's how I would describe the food we had at this restaurant in Ponce City Market. We ordered: -Masala Smashed Potatoes - Delicious, soft inside with crisp skin, and seasoned perfectly. -Paneer Tikka Roll - Great flavor, the paneer was soft, the vegetables were grilled well, the wrap was light, and everything came together beautifully. -Chicken Tikka Roll - Flavorful, juicy chicken grilled to perfection. The food is freshly grilled and made to order. The ambience is great, and the service was quick. Portions are filling, and the prices are very reasonable. read more

Lamb burger was really good. Well done and juicy! We also had lime soda as a drink. Would not recommend it. Was too sour for me. All the chicken wraps very yummy! Overall I recommend this restaurant for quick bite! read more

This has easily become one of my favorite spots! While my niece was visiting we stopped by Ponce City Market. When she saw that we had a Botiwalla she was immediately sold on eating here! I am so glad she suggested this spot! Home for her is Charlotte, NC and she mentioned they have a location there! How it works? You order your food at the entrance of the restaurant! Warning- they often have a line - yes it's that good !! After placing your order you are either given a number to place on your table if dining in, or just verbally given a number to wait on your to go order. I have been here at least 4 times within the last 2 months! The Crispy Masala Fish Roll is what keeps me coming back! The description from the website is as follows: Crispy wild caught Alaskan cod seasoned with cumin, lime, chilli powder, ginger, garlic. Wrapped in hot buttered naan with Desi slaw, onion, cilantro, green chutney & Maggi ketchup. (fish, milk, eggs, sesame, wheat)!! It always leaves me wanting more ! I have also tired the chai tea and cookies - I appreciate that the taste is light on both the tea and cookies. Other items I have tried are the Masala Smashed Potatoes and the veggie skewer. There is also another potato appetizer that I can't recall the name of. Everything I have tried has been a love for me ! In addition to great tasting food, the service has always been good ! This place is just a vibe and I highly recommend checking it out ! read more

I got the lamb burgers, which were pretty good (4.25/5) but on the smaller side, but they were still a reasonable value for $14, especially compared to some of the other places in Ponce market. The service was relatively fast (10-15 minutes), despite it being pretty busy. read more

I am from out of town and had never eaten at Botiwalla. I took a friend who wanted to have Indian food. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Wrap and chai! We both loved the wrap - it was tasty and a smidge spicy! Just enough without being overpowering. The chutney in it was delish! We finished it off with chai and Parle G biscuits. I'm a chai connoisseur so I was hoping that it was gonna be the real deal and it was! Milky and loved the cardamom flavor. I would totally go again when I come back to ATL. read more

Quite a solid place for an Indian place. We took the #2 bus from the North Ave Train Station and walk a block. We tried the Malai Chicken, roti and the rice bowl. The cilantro chutney hit the spot. It was order on the spot, get your own water and bus your own trash. It's a great quick bite at the Ponce City Market. Love all the different decor from each vendor. A great experience in Atlanta! read more

In a city with so much good food, this was my favorite food spot we tried! My friends and I shared the SPDP and the flavor was very addictive. I also got the lamb seekh kebab roll which was really good as well! It goes so well with the rata that they give you. I spilled the raita on myself on accident but they gave me another one for free. The art logo for this place is also super cool too I love it. Also don't forget the mango lassi! read more

I was walking up & down Ponce City Market trying to decide what to get to eat and I am glad I landed on some Indian Food from Botiwalla. The lamb, naan and mango lassi did it for me.

Delicious Indian Flavors at Ponce City Market! I tried this restaurant for the first time, and I'm absolutely in love with the flavors! The food was incredibly delicious--definitely a must-try for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine in Ponce City Market, Atlanta. Although the line was quite long, it was completely worth the wait. The food had the perfect consistency and texture, and the flavors were spot on. I had the paneer tikka Roll, and it truly transported me back to India--so authentic and satisfying! My husband and daughter really enjoyed the chicken wings and the chicken tikka masala roll. Everything we ordered was full of flavor, perfectly spiced, and cooked to perfection. Looking forward to coming back and trying even more dishes next time I'm in town. read more

Extremely average experience here today. Service was incredibly slow, probably a 25 minute line for 6 people?! The line was out the door and kept building. My family had finished their meals from other vendors by the time I brought mine to the table. Had the new Chicken Tikka Rice Bowl. It was fine, but don't expect it to taste of anything more than plain chicken on basmati rice. No sauce or flavor to the chicken, but at least it was cooked well. Super disappointed because Chai Pani is one of my favorites in the area, but won't return here. read more

We stopped by here to get some tea (Indian chai). The place has an interesting vibe and has a wide selection of items in their menu. Our teas came with a complimentary parle-G biscuit. Tea was wonderful. Will definitely stop by to try their other items in the future. read more

The line was out the door so I'd figure I'd stop by line and see what this place had to offer. I ordered a chicken tikka wrap and a mango lassi. The service was fast from ordering to getting my food delivered to my table. Would I come back? Eh. Should you give it a try. Yes, it wasn't horrible. The chicken tikka wrap was freshly made with a good amount of fresh veggies inside. For Indian food it lacked flavor which I was shocked by because their food NEVER lacks flavor. The flavor of the chicken didn't pack a powerful punch, it was a little bland but good enough for me to chow down. The mango lassi, was sweet but I like them with a little bit of tartness and this lacked that, but I drank it anyway. They have a decent size menu so come and try something out for yourself. I like how the cup and straw were compostable, so one star for thinking the environment. read more

Ponce City market is not only the best food hall in the country, I also consider it to be one of my happy places. I've tried pretty much everything it has to offer but for some reason, the one place I've heard so much about has also managed to escape me....Botiwalla....until now! Botiwalla is Indian street food. Simple concept, big flavors! The menu features mostly Rolls, bowls, and a host of drinks to choose from. I never say no to crispy potatoes! Botiwalla serves Crispy fingerling potatoes tossed with chaat masala, lime, & cilantro. Served with sweet and spicy Maggi ketchup. I love me some sodium, almost to a fault....but this seasoning right here is a salt bomb! That ketchup is an absolute necessity to counter balance! Decent crispy potatoes, but unfortunately not as good as advertised. Chicken tikka roll: chicken marinated in yogurt, lime, Kashmiri chilli paste, & tandoori spices. Served with desi slaw, onion, cilantro, & green chutney all wrapped in naan. The good.... This is certainly not short on flavor! The slaw is a refreshing touch. Not so good....The wrap itself would be easier to enjoy if the chicken was chopped to about half the size. Chicken this size absolutely needs to be tender, and this was not. The naan was also over toasted, resulting in a tougher rather than soft naan experience. Still a good roll overall. Ponce city is so diverse in its offerings! Although I'll admit I have had more enjoyable dining experiences within these walls, there is definitely a place for Botiwalla. I am happy to tick it off the Ponce bucketlist. read more

My friend recommended this restaurant after going to a wedding in Atlanta and everyone raving about this place. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. I was so excited when I saw it on Uber Eats which meant I could order with my coworkers. There were plenty of vegetarian options which was very exciting. I got the paneer tikka skewer, tandoori veggie skewer and the masala smashed potatoes. Every single item was absolutely amazing but I still think about those smashed potatoes with the chaat masala. It was truly something I wasn't expecting but tried out of curiosity and the dish blew my socks off. My coworkers even tasted them and absolutely loved them. Not only did I love the menu, but colleagues did as well which means we will definitely be ordering from here again and probably getting a few boxes of the smashed potatoes for everyone to share. read more

This is a pretty good Indian place inside of Ponce! There is a restaurant area but you can also get to-go. I got a chicken tikka roll and mango lassi. The food came out quite fast, and it was very good. The naan that wrapped the chicken was super delicious, and I enjoyed the chicken spices. The mango lassi was also very refreshing, just a little small for $6. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Stopped by because the line was OUT the door. Ordered the chicken tikka roll and mango lassi. More seating outside (in a beautiful space I might add), which is where we waited while they brought the food out. The buttery naan enveloped chunks of well-marinated chicken, along with refreshing slices of red onion and cilantro. Chicken was honestly a bit dry, but flavorful and generous in portion. It came with a delicious yogurt (?) dipping sauce. Mango lassi was spectacular - thick, sweet, and creamy. Overall, worth a visit if you're in Ponce City Market. read more

Just WOW! This was one of the BEST and most MEMORABLE food experiences I've ever had! I visited the Atlanta area for a trip and we had to stop at a food hall here. The Ponce Market has so many good options, but I knew I had to try this place. The menu was amazing and had a good variety of options without being overwhelming. They also had a constant line throughout my visit (it seriously never died down). I decided to try the Veggie Kabob Roll for my entree and it was perfection at first bite! All of the flavors of the spices and marinade just meshed SO well with one another and created the most delicious dish. I paired it with the Masala Smashed Potatoes that were super tasty and had a nice soft and crispy texture. My girls couldn't stop eating them off my plate! It all felt and tasted so authentic. The cashier really helped me make my decision when I was stuck and was so patient with me. And the food came out super fast, yet hot and fresh. This hall was super busy and full of people which also helped create a fun & lively atmosphere. Even through the tables outside were hard to come an across, the Botiwalla had open seating inside their space. I highly recommend this spot and am so sad I can't bring it back home with me! read more

We wanted to try a couple of spots in Ponce City Market and I'm so glad that we found Botiwalla by Chai Pani. It was recommended to me by a family member and completely lived up to my expectations. We tried the chicken tikka roll which was fresh, flavorful, and steaming hot. I loved the chargrilled flavor of the chicken, and the yogurt and lime juice marinade make it so tender and delicious. The fluffy naan was exceptional and I appreciated the light, but flavorful slaw.

Reddit said this was the best place in PCM, so I decided to try it. My friend and I tried the lamb seekh kebab, ordered first, got a number, food got delivered. The lamb was flavored well, got served with a yogurt sauce. The wrap was decent. The amount of food was super tiny for the high price of about $15 post-tax. Better eat in other places outside of PCM. read more

Fantastic spot in Ponce City Market for a spin on Indian street food! I've been here a couple of times when in Atlanta. It's not normal for me to rave about a salad, but the Desi Salad here is actually divine -- bright, zesty and earthy. The cabbage they use is incredibly fresh and balanced with the right amount of herbs. Their rolls are also so flavorful and well-priced. Service is fast and friendly, and there's plenty of seating both inside and outside (for when the weather is nice). This time, I also grabbed a tamarind cola (as I love tamarind flavored drinks and sauces), which was also lovely and refreshing -- if a bit tepid in the tamarind flavor. Highly recommend checking out this spot! read more

Quick and wonderful service and food at Botiwalla in Ponce City Market! Botiwalla serves tasty, upscale Indian street-food and they have options for carnivores and vegetarians alike. You can order up at the counter when you are ready and the server was very polite. Once you've ordered, take a seat indoors or outdoors (don't worry there's plenty of seating) and take in the hustle and bustle of PCM. I ordered the chicken tikka roll and it came out very quickly, as did the food for the rest of my party of three. The chicken tikka roll was nice and juicy, but I wish it was slightly spicier and slightly larger for the price. Overall, 4.5/5! read more

I wasn't a fan of Ponce city Market until I came here. We got a bunch of rolls and thought they were delicious. Both the chicken tikka and Malai kabob rolls were tasty and good. The rolls are pretty hefty so one roll was good for each if us. We also got the fries and some other appetizers and really enjoyed them. The fries were especially yummy. The price for the food was great. The atmosphere and area is awesome. They had a good amount of seating areas and our group of 15 were able to find a table and eat our food. The service was also great. The person who took our orders was friendly. They bring the food to your table when ready and were super nice about dealing with our big group! The meat is halal! read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Botiwalla before, because I come here pretty regularly and it's my go to for when I find myself at PCM. We always get the rolls here, my favorite being the chicken tikka roll, and my husband's favorite being the paneer tikka roll. The rolls are hefty, with well balanced seasonings and sauces. I love getting some rolls and eating them outside at the nearby park, but make sure to grab napkins because they're juicy and messy to eat. If you like tart or spicy flavors, definitely get some of their mango pickle to eat with your roll as a condiment! I always do this and it adds a nice kick. Their mango lassi is great, too. read more

I had seen Botiwalla recommended several times when researching the Atlanta food scene on Reddit. I enjoyed Botiwalla so much on my first visit that I decided to come back a second time a few days later. The service was consistently great and the place was clean both times. The second time was much busier because I went on a Saturday. On my first visit I ordered a lamb kebab roll and chai. The lamb was fantastic. It didn't taste gamey at all and all the sauces and vegetables it was served with complemented the meat very well. The buttered naan was excellent and the perfect vessel to hold it all together. I'm not too well-versed on chai but it was hot and it tasted good. Whether it was a good chai or not I couldn't tell you, but I liked it. So for my second visit I decided I would go all-in (well, kind of). I ordered the sev potato dahi puri (SPDP), lamb burger, and paneer tikka roll. The downside of solo travel is that you (realistically) can't order as much at new restaurants to try more things. The SPDP was light, airy and packed with all sorts of tastes and textures. The potato inside gave a nice starchy body to carry the rest of the flavors. The yogurt added some creaminess and a tart note. The tamarind chutney added to the tartness but in a good way. The green chutney, cilantro, and onion added a welcome freshness and crunch to it all. I liked this a lot but it was pricey at $9. The lamb burger was probably my favorite thing I had from them. Again the lamb was cooked and seasoned well. I think the lamb flavor stood out here more than in the kebab roll I had on my first visit. The toppings were fresh, crunchy, and added to the lamb flavor without overpowering it. The ghee brushed on the buns definitely added another savory layer to the mix. I'd definitely get these again. The paneer tikka was just alright. It wasn't bad by any means but I was a little disappointed because I didn't get too much paneer in there. I LOVE paneer but at $12.99 (vs. $13.99 for a lamb roll) I don't think it's worth it. I mean I guess it's a good vegetarian option but I'm not vegetarian. Not bad but I wouldn't get this again on a return visit. The prices are on the higher side but I think that's the Ponce City Market mark up. Nonetheless, it's not like they're outrageous. I'd be a regular visitor if I lived in the ATL area. read more

The food is phenomenal. I consistently order the chicken tikka wrap or the masala fish wrap. Enticing spices combined with miraculously cooked meats and vegetables wrapped in the most soft naan. The masala chai is the best I've ever had 10/10 over any restaurant I've ever been to that serves it. The customer service is always fantastic and one member my partner & I enjoy talking with-- they're the main reason we return. The staff is visibly working hard always and we hope they and the managers are extremely proud. Inside is always immaculate and the decor is a treat for the eyes. The availability of excellent quality merchandise is a great addition. I have a shirt & a tote currently. read more
