Hangla is a Bengali slang word that’s used playfully to express gluttony. The owner Mr. Ghosh says that the name represents Bengali street fare.
Mr. U. Dasgupta, former chef, Taj President, has joined forces with Hangla’s. They have recruited chefs that are direct descendents of the cooks who used to whip up meals for the royal families of Calcutta.
The must-try takeaways here are the kati rolls, biryani, kasa, Moghlai parathas and caramel custard. Mr. Ghosh also tells me that Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Akhtar termed the biryani as ‘lip-smacking good’. This takeaway joint has a fan following in the suburbs. They also serve Indianised Chinese fare and momos at very reasonable prices
