Asma Khan’s celebrated all-female kitchen serves soulful, homestyle Bengali and Hyderabadi dishes in a warm, bustling open-kitchen setting that feels like a family gathering.
Ordering Strategy
Focus on the sharing plates; start with the textural Puchkas, move to the signature prawns, and anchor the meal with the slow-cooked Goat Kosha Mangsho and rice.
What to order
Tangra Chilli Garlic Prawns
Drawing influence from Kolkata’s Chinatown, these are described by critics as accurately cooked with 'punchy' spicing and 'plenty of garlic'.
Goat Kosha Mangsho
A hallmark of the menu, this slow-cooked Bengali goat curry is noted for its depth and the addition of rich bone marrow.
Aloo Papri Chaat
Described as a dish that 'bursts with flavour' in the mouth, balanced by a 'pleasing sweetness' from tamarind chutney.
Halwa Puri
A Sunday-only brunch specialty featuring chole masala, sweet halwa, and puri—the 'homestyle' breakfast the cooks themselves eat.
