Avishar Barua

Kati roll
  • Joya's · Columbus, OH
  • Agni · Columbus, OH
@avishar

The second kati roll defeat in this book. Same dish, different season, same outcome. The pattern is not coincidence.

Avishar Barua runs Joya's and Agni in Columbus — Bangladeshi-American cooking that pulls from his family's kitchen and the restaurants his parents ran when he was growing up. He competed on Top Chef before showing up here. His kati roll uses the same architecture as Oberoi's, but with Bangladeshi spice work — mustard oil, cumin, a sharper green chutney. The bread laminated. The filling ate clean.

Bobby has now lost to this specific dish twice. That is data.
