আমাদের গল্প

Our story begins in 2014, in a family home on Golf Club Road.

There was a house, a kitchen garden and a yard under old trees. One day the family who lived there opened the gate, set out a few tables and started cooking for the neighbourhood the way they cooked for guests at home.

Twelve years on, the kitchen is still run by women, nothing is cooked until you order it, and the board over the gate still says the same thing: we serve happiness. Tollygunge comes for the ₹299 combos, stays for the adda, and comes back for the cake with kheer.

Why Tollygunge keeps coming back

  • A kitchen run by women

    From the owner to the cook, an all-women team making light, home-style food, cooked fresh after you order.

  • Cake with kheer

    Our Rabri Cake: fruit cake you dip into slow-cooked kheer.

  • A handicraft store by the gate

    Baluchuri sarees, Bankura terracotta and tribal jewellery at 4T.

  • Karaoke under the lights

    After sundown the mic goes round the yard.

  • A home, not a showroom

    Old trees, painted walls and tables under the sky.

  • Two eat for ₹299

    Combos built for sharing: mocktails, a starter, mains and dessert.
