"A modern white exterior, large awning, and outdoor seating lead into a spacious cafe-like setting with enormous framed photographs of old Calcutta. Entrepreneur Aditya Ghosh and his childhood friend chef Anjan Chatterjee have been serving flavours from their hometown of old Calcutta right around the corner from Marble Arch station. Their chicken and mutton biryani, served in a black pot, brings old Calcutta to life on the palate. This is a mildly spiced biryani laden with potatoes, fried onions, and chunky pieces of meat, and the addition of boiled egg, vetiver, rose petals and saffron are a unique touch. The duo also does an Awadhi biryani, but the true speciality will always be the Kolkata biryani." - Advika Reddy
