Kolkata/IBNS: Building on his experience of running the Soul Café coupled with his business acumen, Abhishek Dutt has turned ‘Soul – The Sky Lounge’ into one of the popular restaurants of Kolkata.

Hailing from the well-known jewellery brands, Benud Behari Dutt Jewellers, Dutt sharpened his business skills by joining the family business when he was 16.

But it was the hospitality business, especially food and beverage, which tugged at his heartstrings.

In 2016, Dutt started off with a 1,000 square feet café, called Soul Café, on Syed Amir Ali Avenue.

He aimed to catch the attention of the young crowd.

The cafe organised activities like Zumba classes and also included a billiards room.

In 2019, in his quest to find a bigger place, he chanced upon a heritage building on Little Russel Street.

The rooftop with a panoramic view of the city’s skyline became ‘Soul – The Sky Lounge’ with a bar, an eclectic food menu and a live tandoor, among other things.

Here is a glimpse of what you may expect.

Beverages

Birds of Paradise - Vodka, Jalapeno and Basil

Giant Fruit Margherita - Tequila, loads of fruits

Mudslide - Vodka, Kahlua, Baileys Cream and lots of Chocolate

Chatpata – White Rum, Bell peppers, Lime, Mint and Jaljeera

Food

Bao – Served with a variety of sautéed veggies, Chilli paneer, Chilli Chicken, Crispy Chicken and Schezwan Prawn

Chicken Tangdi Kabab - Succulent Chicken leg pieces, charcoal grilled from at the live tandoor

Mezze Platter - Pita bread, Lavash, Hummus, Sprout salad, Baba Ganoush and Falafel; can add tandoori chicken to this

Lobster Thermidor - A French classic. Lobster meat cooked in red wine sauce and stuffed back into the shell; served with sautéed vegetables and herbed rice

Toffee Walnut - Creamy, rich walnut fudge
