Our experienced chefs have mastered a menu that takes inspiration from generations of traditional family cooking and travel through the bustling street bazaars of India. Using only the finest and freshest ingredients and spices, each dish on Kolkata s menu carries its own story of origin.

The descriptions of the dishes indicate the features of the taste, if our meal`s sour, hot, sweet, creamy or spicy. We strive to help give you a better understanding of the strengths of heat in our dishes, therefore we use signs to indicate if it`s slightly-, fairly,- or extra hot. See the key below.

N contains nuts We regret that we cannot advise customers with nut allergy / intolerances to eat our food at our restaurant. This is because all our dishes can contain traces of nut. We are therefore unable to advise that any dish is nut-free. We cook extensively with nuts.
