"This charming cafe started out as an adjunct of Sienna, the retail outlet of a Shantiniketan-based ceramics workshop run by a mother-daughter duo. But over time, the food side of the business has established its own identity with a crisp, straightforward menu focused on global comfort food: robust burgers, perfectly cooked omelets, toasts with assorted toppings, and creamy risottos made with local varieties of rice. Chef Auroni Mookerjee champions all things local and sustainable. His more adventurous weekend menus use only fresh, seasonal produce that can be sourced that day — foraged greens, wild mushrooms, duck eggs, varieties of small fish that usually don’t make it to restaurant tables — in a style Mookerjee calls bazaar-to-table." - Priyadarshini Chatterjee
