Trained at Le Cordon Bleu and forged in the bustling, historic dining rooms of Kolkata, my culinary journey spans two vastly different worlds. As a food critic, my mission is to evaluate how well international and Western gastronomies are executed within our city, while simultaneously celebrating the heritage establishments that form our culinary DNA.

I believe that a truly great meal is not just about the food on the plate; it's about the narrative. Whether it's dissecting the perfect sear on a filet mignon at a newly opened bistro, or understanding why Arsalan's biryani has maintained its legendary consistency for decades, my reviews are rooted in technique, history, and flavor.

My palate is stringent, my pen is sharp, but my love for Kolkata's food scene is unconditional.
