BOLLY TOLLY NEWS, 15TH MAY,2018 : Located inside the buzzing City Centre 1 at Salt Lake Klocal, Kolkata’s newest restaurant cum lounge officially opened its door on Tuesday 15 May with the music launch of Bollywood film, “Khajoor Pe Atke”, a comedy film with small town characters. The film is the directorial debut of popular actor Harsh Chhaya and has Bengal’s Bickram Ghosh as the music director.
Owned by Rajesh Jaiswal, Giridhari Jaiswal, Rajesh
Kothari and Supratim Roy, the interiors of Klocal has been designed by Mandeep
Manchanda. Divided into three zones, the 94-seater restaurant and lounge is
spread across 2730 square feet. The Bar and Dining Zone leans towards the
heritage of Kolkata with old brick walls, giant wall clock and canvas paintings
depicting the city. There is a Private Seating Area for bigger groups
accommodating up to 12 people in that zone with a view of the dance floor and
the DJ. “The highlight of Klocal is, however, the Rooftop Lounge with a
stunning view of the skyline and divided into three kabanas. Guests can watch
live shows and matches in a special glass projection. The entrance of the venue
is also breathtaking with the staircase telling the tale of Kolkata. The
elements have been chosen to give a feel of old Calcutta which has now become
the modern city of Kolkata,” said Supratim Roy.
The menu prepared by Head Chef Goutam Chakraborty and
team has a delicious selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian steamy soups,
saucy salads, variety of egg based dishes, quick titbits, pizzas and pasta,
North Indian dishes and desserts. There is also a Shisha and Bar Menu.
“We want to please all palates, all age groups and all
clusters of people. Nowadays, the idea of only a restaurant or just a dance
club does not work. People want both. When we go out, we want a place where
there is great food, superb ambiance and good music to keep the conversation
going. Klocal is where you can let your hair down and just chill,” said Rajesh
Jaiswal.
Talking about the music, Bickram Ghosh said, “KPJ is a
laugh riot, an Everyman’s Story so I retained my own style – ethnic elements
with folk influences. Harsh has himself penned the lyrics of three songs and I
must say he is a brilliant writer. The music of the film has a refreshing
“live” feel to it.” Timir Biswas and Ujjaini Mukherjee, who have lent their
voices to the songs, were also present at the launch long with other
dignitaries like actor Saswata Chatterjee, danseuse Tanushree Shankar, actress
Jaya Seal and singers Rupam and Iman Chakraborty among others.
