Kolkata’s cuisine is understated, rich and full of flavors that might surprise you. But what happens when these traditional flavors and techniques get a modern touch? We visited Sienna in Kolkata, a restaurant, bar, and a store built on Bengali craftsmanship, culinary techniques, and honoring the region’s craft and food.
This blog is part of our Dine & Dish social media series, where we give our unfiltered reviews of food places in your city! For this episode, we made our way to one of the top suggestions by our viewers and readers in Kolkata, Sienna. Let’s take a look at whether Sienna impressed us!
What Is Sienna In Kolkata?
Sienna Calcutta is an award-winning, multi-level lifestyle destination and restaurant in Kolkata that celebrates the food, craft, and heritage of Bengal. It is housed inside a 100-year-old heritage home in the Hindustan Park area.

Food We Tried At Sienna Kolkata
Mejbani Mutton, Sooji Grits, and Wood-Fired Bread
INR 900
We first called for the Mejbani Mutton preparation and let us tell you that it was simply class apart! The meat was juicy, tender, and fell right off the bone. It was packed with flavor and even the gravy that accompanied it was full of rich flavors and spices. If you love mutton dishes, particularly made with Bengali spices, techniques, and essence, this one is a must-try at Sienna Calcutta.
Stuffed Chicken Wings & Morich Glaze
INR 600
We then ordered the Stuffed Chicken Wings and Morich Glaze and it did leave us divided on opinions. While the stuffing inside and the outer chicken wing balanced each other well, texturally it could use more help. The glaze is another bonus and works well, however, not everyone might like the dish overall.
Rolled Dumplings & Chilli Butter
INR 400
Rolled Dumplings & Chilli Butter came up next and we liked it! It is an enjoyable dish if you don’t mind eating mushrooms. In fact, it wasn’t overpowering with mushrooms and it didn’t fall flat either. However, it wasn’t a standout dish either. Overall, it was a comforting small plate, nothing more, nothing less.
Mishti Doi Crème Brûlée
INR 400
To end our meal on a sweet note, what better dessert to try in Kolkata than a bowl of Mishti Doi. However, at Sienna, this humble Mishti Doi marries the French Crème Brûlée, resulting in a smooth, velvety dish that manages to have the classic crackle of a crème brûlée. While we like our Mishti Doi the traditional way, this dish definitely deserves to be your choice of dessert here!

Sienna In Kolkata: Is It Worth It?
Overall, we spent about INR 2,573 on four dishes and for the price we paid, we believe that the food definitely did have room for improvement.
The food left us divided – it wasn’t unimpressive and neither did it blow us away. Service wise, it impressed us, thanks to the prompt and courteous staff. In terms of ambiance, it definitely impressed us! The space has a cozy, intimate setting that feels lived in and is well decorated.
While we tried these dishes, online reviews suggest trying its Ros Omelette and Steamed Bhetki among other dishes.
