Visual Merchandising and Retail Design – popularly known as VM&RD magazine which covers the retail and lifestyle space has featured Moloy Dutta, partner Oval in its July 2012 edition. Oval, as the name suggests is the shape of the building and Calcutta’s latest up-market corporate Lounge Bar and Restaurant located at DLF IT Park, New Town.
In May last, Oval had organized a unique food and bike pairing where scores of Calcutta’s Harley Owners Group participated in a 150km ride to CCD on the Durgapur Expressway and back. Oval was the sip-and-dine destination for all the participants. The Telegraph newspaper had a special write-up on this event.
The pub with its cool design, cozy sitting arrangement is the ultimate place for employees of various software companies located in and around Salt Lake City to hang out. From pop, rock, jazz or fusion, Oval boasts of having the best audio and video music played round the clock. And yes, this bit of trait can be attributed to Moloy who grew up in Shillong and Bangalore with such genre of music!

With psychedelic lights, high-end sound system coupled with the images of super rock star legends like Jim Morrison, Riche Blackmore, Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Hendrix to name a few, it’s no doubt a great place to chill out.
The Oval Bar stocks a range of finest whisky, flavoured vodka and wines. For snacks, chef at Oval recommends the Oval non-veg platter, with a mix of tandoori chicken, fish and lamb.
Special dish served here that deserves a mention is the stuffed chicken which has been masterminded with an array of grilled chicken and black pepper sauce. 3idiots a mouth watering non-vegetarian main course is a combination of crump fried jumbo prawn, Calcutta bhetki and chicken served with fries and tartre sauce.

Seems like an interesting place to be, and @700 for a meal for two and drinks, this seems even irresistible! Will definitely keep this one in mind on my next visit to Kolkata.
ReplyDeleteThis definitly will be my next place to go on a weekend with my friends when I visit Kolkata next. The decor looks enticing. And a meal for two with drinks for Rs.700 sounds so good! Will definitly spread the word around with all my friends who are in Kolkata and those who visit the city frequently.
