PRAWN MEUNIERE FROM ONE STEP UP: This luscious lemon butter sauce coating all the crevices of curled up prawns will take you straight to cloud nine. Begin the Puja festivities with a stop at Park Street.

ARTISANAL PIZZA FROM RAJ’S SPANISH CAFE: Think crisp edges, oozing cheese and umami-filled meats on a pizza emerging from wood-fire brick ovens—that’s exactly what you’ll get from this popular Sudder Street hangout!
3/6
WAFFLES FROM THE COUNTRY HOUSE: Start Panchami with these crunchy waffles topped with berries, chocolate or even a dollop of whipped cream at this quaint cafe off Elgin Road.

4/6
BURRATA FROM THE DAILY CAFE: Cheese inside more cheese? Yes, that’s possible! Cut into a ball of fresh mozzarella and find fresh ricotta oozing from within complementing the pesto served with it! All at this charming cafe in Deshapriya Park.
5/6
SPAGHETTI CARBONARA FROM FABBRICA: There’s no cream in carbonara, can you believe that? Made from an emulsion of cheese and eggs with bacon lending a rich saltiness, this pasta dish will make you fall in love with Italian food all over again.
6/6
MACAROON TART FROM KOOKIE JAR: Decadence in a bite! This tart has rich chocolate ganache hiding crumbs of cake, all neatly circled with chocolate cream. Available at most KJ outlets in the city.
