Set just a short walk from Marble Arch and Hyde Park, Chourangi is a restaurant wedding venue with access to some of the best wedding photography opportunities in London. The restaurant itself is gorgeous too, as are the menus which take cues from lesser-known flavours, ingredients and cooking techniques from Calcutta. Interiors are refined and are available for exclusive hire, so you’ll have the whole space to yourself to celebrate.
Inside, the space is arranged with a combination of banquette seating and freestanding tables, allowing groups to be organised across sections of the dining room depending on your wedding reception vision. Dark timber finishes, patterned flooring and textile details referencing Calcutta create a setting that feels grounded in a specific regional identity, but modernised enough to suit contemporary couples.
For wedding receptions, Chourangi’s tasting menus provide the best indication as to what to expect - though you’ll be able to talk with the team to figure out the right elements to suit your big day. Snacks and small plates typically include items such as smoked chilli poppadums with mint chutney, prawn cutlets with kasundi mayonnaise, and lotus stem sweet potato chaat with a sweet chilli and jaggery chutney.
To follow, you might find plates of Nizam’s malai chicken tikka, while main options could offer up aromatic plates of kosha lamb, daak bungalow chicken curry, and mango mustard aubergine, served with slow-cooked grand trunk black dal, Calcutta naan, and steamed rice on the side. To match, you’ll have the attention of the restaurant’s Wine Master, who can recommend pairings and drinks throughout your wedding reception at Chourangi - including inventive cocktails centred on ingredients like chilli, mango, jaggery, and passionfruit.
