Sienna Calcutta's Rannaghor Wins Modern Indian Top Honours

Sienna Calcutta won Best Indian Restaurant in the Modern category at the NDTV Food Awards 2026, held on June 15 at ITC Maurya, New Delhi. Chefs Avinandan Kundu and Diptajit Chowdhury accepted the award on behalf of the restaurant.

The recognition spotlights Rannaghor, Sienna's tasting room above its Hindustan Park address. The space is built around a single question: what does Bengali food look like in 2026? The kitchen honours tradition without being trapped by it, a distinction that is landing with judges as much as diners.

For a city whose food identity is often reduced to nostalgia, Sienna's win is a sharp signal that Kolkata's newest tables are writing new chapters, not just reheating old ones.
