Burgers
Olypub’s Forbidden Beef Steak Burger – The Rebel’s Choice💰 $14.99Once whispered about in colonial clubs, the beef steak was a defiant nod to American influence in a British-ruled city where it was never meant to be mainstream. Juicy, grilled to perfection, and layered with caramelized onions and house-made mustard, this is a bite into history.
Meal
🔥 Chello Kebab – The Dish That Defined Park Street💰 $18.99A plate of Persian magic meets British refinement. Smoky, succulent mutton and chicken kebabs, resting on a bed of saffron butter rice, crowned with a poached egg and grilled tomatoes. As served at Peter Cat, this is Kolkata’s most iconic dish of indulgence.
Sides
🦀 Devilled Crab – The Flurys Legacy💰 $16.99A European delicacy, reborn in Kolkata’s oldest tea room. Fresh crab meat, baked with butter, brandy, and delicate spices, encased in its own shell. This was the appetizer of choice for socialites and intellectuals alike in the city’s elite tearooms
Meal
🍗 Chicken Ala Kiev – The Mocambo Classic💰 $21.99A golden, crispy chicken breast oozing with herbed garlic butter—this dish was an extravagant mainstay in Kolkata’s colonial restaurants. Born in Russia, perfected in British-ruled Kolkata, it remains a guilty pleasure for connoisseurs of old-world dining.
Sides
🥂 Colonial Railway Mutton Cutlet – A First-Class Journey💰 $13.99Once a luxury on the Eastern Bengal Railway’s dining cars, this crisp, juicy mutton cutlet, served with a side of mustard sauce and a fresh bread roll, evokes the charm of leisurely first-class train travel in the 1940s.
Meal
Anglo-Indian Railway Mutton Curry – The Officer’s Delight💰 $19.99A rich, fragrant slow-cooked mutton curry, infused with British restraint yet Indian spice mastery. Served with steamed rice or buttered dinner rolls, this was the pride of Anglo-Indian kitchens and railway dining rooms.
Dessert
☕ The Heritage Anglo-Indian Pudding💰 $9.99A silky caramel custard, passed down from generations of Anglo-Indian kitchens. Infused with nutmeg and a hint of rum, this was the classic end to a sophisticated colonial feast.
