Chandigarh: After placing Calcutta's regional food on India's culinary map, Speciality Restaurants Ltd brings Oh! Calcutta to the gourmet city of Chandigarh in Sector 26, Madhya Marg.

While
the different flavours of other regions of India were always present in
some form or the other throughout the country, it was the vision of Chef-turned-leading
Indian restaurateur Anjan Chatterjee, who strongly believed that
the unique flavours of a 300-year-old cuisine needed to
be explored. Chatterjee and Manav Mehra, a passionate food
lover and a reputed businessman who owns 'Oh Calcutta's' franchisee
associate Ananda Hospitalities in Chandigarh, shared details about the new
culinary destination with the media. They were joined by Sameer Mittal,
the franchisee associate.

Oh! Calcutta brings
a never explored cuisine with distinct flavours personally curated
by Anjan Chatterjee, who says, "Every spice, and every
ingredient used in the Oh! Calcutta's menu
has a distinct flavour and a story to tell. Now food lovers of the Tricity and
region have authentic Calcutta dishes
to savour at the newly opened restaurant."
Another
aspect which will be of interest to the food lovers of the Chandigarh and Punjab region
is that Oh! Calcutta's Executive Chef
Harman Singh is a Punjabi - a Sikh from Calcutta.

Sharma, Partner, Ananda Hospitalities said, "We are really excited about
bringing Oh! Calcutta to Chandigarh. This is a
momentous occasion for Ananda Hospitalities as franchisee associate of the iconic
