Chandigarh: After placing Calcutta's
regional food on India's
culinary map, Speciality Restaurants Ltd brings Oh! Calcutta
to the gourmet city of Chandigarh
in Sector 26, Madhya Marg. The restaurant is being set up behind Mainland China
- a renowned culinary landmark of the Tricity and will be functional from June
20, 2022.
While the different flavours of other regions of India were always
present in some form or the other throughout the country, it was the vision of
Chef-turned-leading Indian restaurateur Anjan Chatterjee, who strongly believed
that the unique flavours of a 300-year-old cuisine needed to be explored.
Chatterjee and Manav Mehra, a passionate food lover and a reputed businessman
who owns 'Oh Calcutta's' franchisee associate Ananda Hospitalities in Chandigarh, shared
details about the new culinary destination with the media. They were joined by
Sameer Mittal, the franchisee associate.
Oh! Calcutta
brings a never explored cuisine with distinct flavours personally curated by
Anjan Chatterjee, who says, "Every spice, and every ingredient used in the
Oh! Calcutta's
menu has a distinct flavour and a story to tell. Now food lovers of the Tricity
and region have authentic Calcutta
dishes to savour at the newly opened restaurant."
Another aspect which will be of interest to the food lovers of the
Chandigarh and Punjab
region is that Oh! Calcutta's Executive Chef
Harman Singh is a Punjabi - a Sikh from Calcutta.
Priyanka Sharma, Partner, Ananda Hospitalities said, "We are
really excited about bringing Oh! Calcutta to Chandigarh.
This is a momentous occasion for Ananda Hospitalities as franchisee associate of
the iconic restaurant owned by
Speciality Restaurants Ltd. Oh! Calcutta
will offer a unique food genre - 'Authentic Calcutta Cuisine' unmatched in
taste and variety."
Manav Mehra said, "We have operated Mainland China
from Speciality Restaurants Ltd for over a decade now. I am looking forward to
creating a mark in the culinary circuit of the region with 'Oh! Calcutta' which has a
sumptuous menu to offer and will be a paradise for Calcutta Cuisine
lovers."

Cuisine to the city's culinary escape.
