“As Kolkatans are indulgent foodies, and sizzlers are an eternal favourite, we thought of starting this sizzler extravaganza, specially made for those who want to experience a smoking hot treat especially during the monsoons. The response has been phenomenal and we are happy that this idea generated this much interest. Our cafe, which has been here for nearly two years, have always tried to incorporate some new dishes and with the accessible price point, we are looking forward to the next phase. I would highly recommend everyone to try the Italian Job sizzler and the Chelo Kebab sizzler for sure” said Vishesh Marwaha, co-director, Black Brick Cafe.
