“We have thought about four strands of cuisine – associated with Anglo-Indian cooking, Delicacy from Murshidabad Nawabi, Pure Bangla (epar-opar Bangla), Tangra Chinese (fusion) and Anglo-Indian (signifying the influence of the British raj),” he said.
“The East Bengal delicacy will have the resonance of Mohun Bagan-East Bengal, Ghoti-Bangal rivalry whereas music will be an essential part with baul songs, Rabindra sangeet, devotional-puratoni songs, classical-modern Bengali music wafting in the air as food and music go hand in hand,” Sinha says.
To be held from October 7 till October 10, the lunch buffet will be served from 12 30 pm to 4 pm (Rs 2000 with tax), the dinner buffet from 7:30 pm to 11 pm (Rs 2250 plus tax) while there will be another midnight buffet from 12 am to 4 am (in the bakery).
“We are also planning to introduce a ‘chayer dukan’ where both Kolkata’s ‘bharer cha’ and Mumbai’s ‘cutting chai” (in typical glass) will be available as the two popular street beverage of two lively cities’ he said.
