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.
