New Kolkata eatery delights with tasty Idlis and offers refreshing Iced Filter Coffee

In the heart of Kolkata, nestled at 10 Wood Street, lies a hidden joint offering ravishing flavors - La Vanakam. This new vegetarian restaurant is the second spot opened by Radhika and Anshika Jalan, who are also the owners of La Macario Café.

La Vanakam boasts a cosy interior with 40 seats, adorned with hand-painted murals, cane chandeliers, and tan upholstery, creating an inviting atmosphere.

The menu at La Vanakam is a celebration of authentic South Indian cuisine. One of the comforting dishes you'll find is the Malabar paratha with Chettinad curry, a perfect blend of spices and flavors. Another standout dish is the Podi thatte idli, offering authentic thatte idlis that are sure to delight.

For those seeking a lighter option, the buttermilk at La Vanakam is a must-try. It's spicy but light, balancing the heavier plates perfectly. For a playful snack, don't miss out on the cheese garlic naan crisps with chilli dip.

Vada pav is also available, offering a taste of Mumbai with its garlic chutney and fried chillies. A popular choice at La Vanakam is the Shyam savera kofta, a dish with paneer balls wrapped in spinach, providing a delightful twist to a classic dish.

La Vanakam is open from 7.30 am to 10.30 pm, making it a convenient choice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. A meal for two at La Vanakam costs INR 600.

Iced filter coffee, a cold, creamy, and nostalgic variation of South Indian filter coffee, is another highlight at La Vanakam.

Whether you're a food enthusiast or simply looking for a new dining experience, La Vanakam is definitely worth a visit.
