Trincas: Calcutta's Historic Szechuan and Jazz Hub

Trincas is a very old and famous restaurant in Calcutta that started in 1927.

It was first a Swiss tea room and later became a restaurant with live music.

Anand Puri, whose grandparents bought the restaurant in 1959, is now in charge.

His father, Deepak Puri, made the restaurant famous for its spicy Szechuan Chinese food.

Trincas is special because it has always been a place where people could enjoy good food and music together.

Even though there were tough times in the 1970s and 80s, Trincas kept going and is still a beloved part of Calcutta's history.

Anand is now working to keep the restaurant's history alive and make it even better for future generations.
