Monkey Bar 2.0 returns to Kolkata’s Park Street, reopening with renewed focus on attracting diners during the Pujo celebrations. The revival is presented as a “comeback” tied to the seasonal increase in footfall around the festival, with the restaurant drawing attention for reintroducing dishes that appeal to local tastes.
Local partner Saloni Jhunjhunwala is cited as highlighting strong public interest in new culinary experiences in the city. Sources also describe the menu as balancing familiar favourites with options aimed at showcasing distinct local flavours. Among the dishes highlighted is butter chicken khichdi, described as an established crowd-pleaser. The menu is also said to include Bengali radhuni chicken, pointing to an emphasis on regional ingredients and preparation styles. Across the coverage, the main emphasis is on the restaurant’s return to the Park Street dining scene and its festival-timed offer rather than on any broader controversy or policy development.
