The Feedback book is Thin at Kalash

Kalash, a multi-cuisine restaurant at the HHI, Kolkata offers the following cuisines to its customers: Mughlai, Hyderabadi, Luknowi and Bengali. A visit to this restaurant is more than just sitting down at a table, ordering food, having it, paying the bill and leaving. On a poetic note, HHI has presented a Kalash of exquisite dining facilities to the people staying in Kolkata. The walls of this place are draped with lush, wall hangings that, in turn are enriched with intricate artwork. What more, a look at these hangings for a couple of minutes in fact tells you interesting tales of our history; to be more specific, of our kings and queens. The furnishings are garbed in radiant colors that always bring a smile to the face. Further, the overall ambience of the Kalash in some way manages to provide a trip down the memory lane, only this time, the memory is one that we have read about in our history books. In short, the Kalash among all the HHI hotels in Kolkata, Varanasi, Pune, Bhubaneswar and Bengaluru coupled together with all other Indian luxury hotels is literally worth a visit.


The dining options at the Kalash revolve around four cuisines: Mughlai, Hyderabadi, Luknowi and Bengali. Innovation is also the hallmark of this place with some of the dishes deserving the title solely due to their preparation alone. Some examples are given below.

Gosht Nalli Ayodhya: It is a lamb preparation with the meat drowsed in a thick, creamy sauce created using traditional ingredients

Samundri Malvani: A combination of prawn and bhetki and prepared in the typical Konkani fashion

Murg Qurmay Ki Biryani: A biryani prepared in the traditional dum technique but flavoured with herbs while following an ancient recipe; this preparation dates back to 1910 and happened to be a favorite preparation from the kitchen of Maibood Ali Pasha, the 6th Nizam of Hyderabad.

There are many other examples that deserve to be consumed – literally. However, one has to visit Kalash to experience first-hand the essence of this jewel of eateries among the hotels in Kolkata.
