Chourangi restaurant London opened its doors a year ago to great acclaim. As a matter of fact, since then this Indian restaurant has taken discerning Londoners on a culinary journey into India’s unexplored cuisines.
One of the examples is from the heritage city of Calcutta’s rich heritage and artistic cuisine.
Taking its name from Chowringhee, the oldest and most vibrant quarter of Calcutta. Certainly, the restaurant revives a centuries-old culinary heritage created by overseas tradesmen.
In addition, Chourangi at 3 Old Quebec Street brings Calcutta cuisine to the heart of London.
It’s also an ideal location for those looking for somewhere to lunch or dines after shopping on Oxford Street.
The Menu (Churangi Restaurant London)
The offering is a unique blend of British, Dutch, Armenian, French, Portuguese, and Chinese flavours that have descended over 300-year history.
As a matter of fact, the innovative dishes and recipes have been carefully curated by Chef turned restaurateur Anjan Chatterjee.
Also, he partnered with his friend Aditya Ghosh to come up with the concept over a meal in one of Anjan’s restaurants a few years ago.
Their ambition was to showcase Calcutta’s historical cuisine in London, the world’s food capital.
The A la carte menu includes bar snacks, starters, tandoor and grill, main meals, and biriyanis. This makes Chourangi restaurant London a great restaurant for sharing plates of Indian tapas.
Durga Puja (Chourangi Restaurant London)
Now, to celebrate Durga Puja festival – the chef has created an eclectic menu to honour the fabulous festivities.
Furthermore, Durga Puja celebrated during the autumn is the most important socio-cultural and religious event in the Bengali festival calendar. Also, it marks the celebration of victory over evil.
The restaurant’s Durga Puja menu features uncommon Calcutta specialities.
The menu caters to meat-eaters, veggies, as well as vegans alike.
From its succulent BNR Mutton Curry to its indulgent Baked Rosogolla, filled with poached curd cheese, steeped rose cardamon, almonds, pistachios, as well as saffron rabdi.
Koriashutir Kochuri, cooked with deep-fried refined flour bread, tempered sauce, as well as packed fennel and green peas, is my favorite dish.
Expert Conclusion:
Certainly, Chourangi is the perfect place to experience Calcutta’s festive history and local cuisine.
Moreover, the restaurant serves light as well as heavy curry meals for lunch and dinner.
Perfect for group dining or solo meals, Chourangi is a must-visit if you find yourself in the area.
