Latest offering in Bengali cuisine opens on Shelton Street in Covent Garden

The team behind Little Kolkata has launched its first restaurant, now open on Shelton Street.

Co-founders, Prabir Chattopadhyay and Biswajit Deb Das have centred Little Kolkata on authentic Bengali cuisine, inspired particularly by Prabir’s upbringing in Calcutta and Biswajit’s ancestral roots in Bangladesh.

After moving to Britain in 2006, Prabir found himself longing for the taste of home and started cooking familiar dishes using his favourite traditional spices and ingredients.

His fellow British-based Calcuttans soon joined to enjoy his Bengali-style feasts, and from here the supper clubs were born. Little Kolkata proved a great success, with all the supper clubs fully booked.

Created by French designer, Meddhi Larouci, the interiors at Little Kolkata form a supposedly comfortable environment for customers to enjoy the traditional Bengali-style food for either lunch or dinner.

The design is inspired by the diverse culture and quirky decadence that sits at the roots of Calcutta, honouring both the traditional and modern sides of the city.

There is also a private dining room, which as well as being available for exclusive hire also offers lively and unique themed evenings for guests to join.
