A flavourful food pop-up project

A pop-up that showcases Kolkata’s cuisine demography beyond the usual suspects

Don’t be fooled by the mention of Tangra at The Tangra Project pop-up in Mercure, Hyderabad. Unlike the popular belief, it’s not just about Indian-Chinese cuisine. The pop-up that ends this Sunday showcases Kolkata’s distinctive cosmopolitan culinary convergence.

Delhi-based The Tangra Project, a restaurant presents the food of Kolkata in a different light and beyond the usual suspects like dab chingri, murgir jhol, cholar dalna etc. This restaurant brings under its roof all the flavours of Kolkata including puchka, shrimp paturi, gondraj fish and chives dumpling, and an array of Anglo-Indian specialities.

Curated by Chef Vikramjit Roy, the founder of The Tangra Project, the menu for the pop-up is designed to cater to all palates. “Mughlai food to Anglo-Indian specialities, from classic Bengali dishes to famous Indian-Chinese inspired by the Hakka community who migrated to India, we serve them all. The handcrafted menu features meals and expertly picked delicacies from Kolkata’s major culinary areas,” he explains.
