Immerse in the land of gastronomic extravaganza by savouring the humongous Mandi platter at Mann wa Salwa. Located on the first floor of Hasem Market, Nibra, Mann wa Salwa excels in serving Mandi platters and Arabic delicacies right in the heart of Howrah, a stone throw away from mainland Kolkata. The interior, decked with bright black pillars accentuated with golden stripes and the illuminating rays from the radiating light bulbs, the landscape literally transports one on to the Arabic lands and the cult of the erstwhile Persian food cultures.
A lineage preserved over decades, improvisation has happened over years, and with cross-border exchanges and migrations, the Mandi from Arab was made to suit the local palettes, without however diluting the main concept and philosophy behind a Mandi. At Mann e Salwa, amongst many of their other offerings, one must try the Mixed Mandi consisting of Mutton, Chicken, Fish Fry, Seekh Kebab and Afghani Kebab. Accompanied with numerous dips and salaan, the entire platter is large enough to satiate the hunger of atleast 4-6 heads.
Turkish Adana Kebab is another dish one must try here. Originally known as Kıyma Kebabı and named after Adana, the fifth largest city in Turkey, this dish has hand minced lamb meat cooked slowly on skewers. Musakhan is another dish, which truly proves the mettle of Mann e Salwa. Regarded as the national dish of Palestine, enjoy roasted chicken baked with sumac, onions, saffron and pine nuts over taboon bread (the word taboon comes from the dome shaped clay the flatbread is cooked in). A drizzle of olive oil makes the dish comforting pairing it wonderfully with the tanginess from the sumac.
While the black draped chairs here certainly look comforting, make yourself cosy by settling within one of the cabana. Ideally how a family would share a Mandi, this gives the opportunity to share a meal and also a moment, making Mann e Salwa the perfect place to enjoy a glimpse of Persia right here around you.
