Royal Vega

The 31 Best Restaurants in Kolkata (Calcutta), India | Eater

"Royal Vega, the vegetarian luxury dining restaurant at the ITC Royal Bengal hotel, serves the hyperlocal cuisine of Bengal’s Sheherwali Jains, a community of wealthy Oswal Jain merchants from Rajasthan who migrated to Bengal in the early 18th century and settled near Murshidabad, then the capital of the Nawabs of Bengal. Royal Vega’s special Sheherwali menu features classic recipes sourced from the community’s home kitchens, like fragrant pulao perked up with water chestnut, crusty kachoris (deep-fried pastries) stuffed with spiced cucumber and yogurt, and a luscious wet pudding made of tart raw mangoes." - Priyadarshini Chatterjee
