OUR FOOD PHILOSOPHY

At HESHEL, our food philosophy is rooted in tradition, health, and community.
We believe that food is more than nourishment - it’s a connection to our heritage and a reflection of our care, culture and hospitality. Kolkata the erstwhile Calcutta, an amalgamation of history under the influence of its various rulers and settlers, has become a culinary melting pot over time. While we honour traditional Bengali recipes, we blend in contemporary creativity to cater to diverse tastes and preferences of the multicultural city communities. Every dish we prepare brings to the fore the essential home style flavours, by use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients, with a strict commitment to health and maintaining the natural wholesomeness of food. Our goal is to serve meals that not only delight the palate but also nourish the soul, bringing
people together through the rich, comforting and adaptable cultural essence of Bengali cuisine.
