Adding Indian spices and condiments to traditional British cuisine is what gave birth to Anglo Indian food. This particular cuisine carries diverse influence from various parts of India.

Shiladitya Chaudhury and Debaditya Chaudhury, Partners, Chapter 2, said, “We realized that Anglo Indian cuisine as a whole was never commercialized or were a part of restaurant business. Most of the dishes were Indo British Fusion Food or Continental cuisine. We started Chapter 2 as our tribute to the food and music culture of Park Street during the 70s and we serve select Anglo Indian and Continental cuisine here.

After thorough research and spending time at our Anglo Indian friends’ residences we learnt that authentic Anglo Indian cuisine can only be prepared at Anglo Indian households. Still, taking a cue from what we savoured, we decided to introduce some of the Anglo Indian recipes, which are nonexistent without coconut, lamb, pork, mutton, beef and chicken, to the Kolkata food connoisseur’s palate."

The specially crafted menu will include dishes such as Brown Lentil Vegetable Soup, The British Army Camp Chicken Soup, Lamb Trotters, Fish Ball Soup, Anglo Indian Vegetable Rissoles, Railway Prawn Cutlets, Chicken Liver Pepper Fry, Fish Potato Croquettes, New Market Special Fried Pork And Beef Chilli Fry in the soup and starters segment.

The main course will include Vegetable Moilee, Prawn Jhalfarezie, Goan Coconut Chicken, Mutton Mince Ball Curry, Pork Vindaloo and Crumb Fried Beef Pepper Chops With Tartar Sauce. These will be served with buttered rice or steamed rice.

The Anglo Indian Food Festival starts from 23rd August, 2019 onwards. The items are priced between Rs 200/- to Rs 420/-. A meal for two would cost around Rs 800/- plus taxes during this festival.

Moreover, Chapter 2 has introduced Happy@99, the special Happy Hour menu where select brand of alcoholic beverages will cost only Rs 99/- in between 3 pm – 6:45 pm.
