‘X-MAS EDITION KOLKATA MARKET’
What to expect when a carnival is organised by none other than India’s Gourmet Guru KAREN ANAND ?
Fun, food and an exclusive shopping experience; what else is needed to start our winter festival carnival.
Kolkata Market by Karen Anand was a huge affair bringing together 50 stalls ranging from organic staples, food, hand made jewellery, designer clothes, cosmetics and beverages. The market was pretty enough and colourful too to catch the eyes of every shopper, an open market experience making the winter sunday a warmer one The stall owners were friendly and happy to help always with a smile in their face. Apart from the great shopping experience, we witnessed Karen Anand taking the stage all by herself and organized a quiz for all. Live music added more charm to the usual market spirit.
A short and crisp details about our whole experience:
The food trail was wonderfully taken in charge by Kolkata’s finest restaurants like Kareem’s Kolkata, Bakstage, Spoonfuel, The Kitchen Kolkata, The Quantum – Kitchen and Lounge and The Orient.
Each of the restaurants were lined up with finest of their delicacies and made it sure that customers return with a happy self. The food counters were the busiest stalls among all.
