Oh! Calcutta is an ode, a celebration to the romantic city of Calcutta and its gastronomic delights. It offers a diverse and traditional fare of authentic Bengali cuisine that is reminiscent of Kolkata as it once was. A city with electric trams, horse carriages for taxis and large motorcars carrying gentlemen and ladies to the clubs – a cultural capital and an intellectual force.
The cuisine at Oh! Calcutta is, of course, quintessential Bengali. Contemporary, yet evocative; modern yet traditional. Our chefs regularly source rare ingredients from the region, visiting small hamlets in search of a unique dish. The whole point of the exercise is to consistently surprise the palate – to ensure a constant stream of unique experiences.
Oh! Calcutta is where Bengalis meet to taste home food and non-Bengalis enjoy such famed delicacies as Smoked Bekti, Mutton Rezzala and the famous Hilsa (Ilish). And that’s not all. Only here can you discover the lost culinary arts served originally in the old Kolkata Clubs – the Colonial Cuisine which left the land with the British.

But what they share in common is the presentation – a big round plate with lots of little katoris (bowls) arrange on the right side of the circular plate.And the lower half is usually reserved for rotis, puris or rice and of course, you have the pickles and other accompaniments, like papad, onion, green chillies etc, stuffed wherever place is to be found on the plate!

96K: This word itself is mystifying! Not Karat, not thousand!
“96K, stands for shahan nav kuli, the first 96 Maratha Families who have roots in Rajasthan. These families are generally referred as 96 clans or kulis” explains owner Radha Mhaske.
“In other words we serve genuine Maratha food here”.
The food seems genuine enough, the soothing Solkadhi is a light pink appetizer made from coconut milk and kokum extract has right tang and chilled enough to beat the sweltering heat. If you like it in sweet n’ sour version, the frosted kokum juice is as good and alleviating.
Starters are not that spicy, traditional kanda bhaji or Onion Pakoras are served with hot green chutney or tomato sauce as per you preference. The Kothimbir Wadi, fritters made from fresh coriander and besan are is correctly crisp and delicious. The non-vegetarians or especially fish lovers can go for Golden Fried prawns or more adventurous Patra Fish, where the fish stuffed in green masala is steamed in banana or turmeric leaves. Or there is the traditional Fish Fry fried in customary coastal Maharashtrian way!
The main course is not very confusing. In fact, the freshness of the restaurant is the limited menu that it serves and is similar to the meals Maharashtrians cook at home. “We didn’t want to go the commercial way and make mass food where the chicken curry tastes like Mutton rassa” said Miss. Mhaske.
Tackling the veggie fare, the either-you-hate-or-love pithla is tasty enough for the mild tongued. The amti or ambat waran is yummy and piquant. Its fluid consistency is neither too thick nor too thin. The non-veg lovers can never miss Mutton Rassa with customary bhakri or the more remarkable – Wade: Konkani bread made from mixed flour dipped in fiery mutton rassa.
In case you find it difficult to go to the restaurant or you want to enjoy a party at home, you need not worry because now you can order food online at Tastykhana.com or call us on 3300 6464 and your favorite Maratha food will be at your doorstep within minutes!
Happy Mealing!
