Founded in 2010 and located in the heart of Ardsley, New York, Calcutta Wrap & Roll is the result of a passion for and appreciation of homestyle cooking, in all its wealth and variety, as it has evolved through the ages, lovingly tended to on the earthen chullahs (stoves) in Indian kitchens.  The judicious use of herbs and spices is the very essence of Indian cuisine and every home-cook has been keenly aware of the aromatic, flavorful and medicinal qualities of Nature’s pantry.

Started by Shishir Bhattacharya, Chitta Saha and Hugo Cocucci, Calcutta Wrap and Roll attempts to recreate that fresh off-the-chullah taste of home cooking, while it tells the story of these age-old spices and how they have been used in varied proportions and combinations in different parts of India.  Every spice has its own place in a specific preparation.  This order of layering the spices in a particular way varies according to region and culture and hence, each dish has a different story to tell regarding its origin and evolution.  We, at Calcuttta Wrap & Roll, have tried to bring specialties from different corners of India for you to sample.
