Like any Bengali, I like my bhaja-bhuji. Think shingara, chop-cutlet, patty and rolls. A recent trip to Deli At Gateway took care of my evening snack cravings. Located on the ground floor of The Gateway Hotel EM Bypass, the star address known for serving Bangladeshi delicacies, the delicatessen is serving up bakery and confectionery items with a twist.

The Deli has also introduced gourmet tea from Tea Culture Of The World, an online store from Mumbai, which has exotic blends of tea from India and across the world.
As you bite into these Railway Cutlets, nostalgia hits you. After all, who hasn’t grown up munching on cutlets with kasundi dip? Made of mixed vegetables, this crispy snack is great with a cup of tea.

You can also pick up freshly-baked breads, imported sauces and pickles. Buy a cake, ask for flowers and customise a gift at the Deli too.

Kosha Mangsho Puff is spicy yet light. “This one is my absolute favourite. I wanted to create something that brings together a regional flavour along with puff pastry,” said Deep Mitra Thakur, executive chef, The Gateway Hotel. Rs 80 per piece
General manager of The Gateway Hotel, Sourav Ghosal, had seen Deli At Gateway having “a huge potential” and it was his concept to make it a delicatessen with a Bengali connect. “The idea came about by going around different bakeries and delis in the city and finding that there isn’t really any bakery shop offering something for everybody. We have got gift items and flowers along with the regular deli selections like breads, pastries and savouries with a local twist,” said Sourav.
