• Rajarshi: What is your feeling as the third generation running this restaurant ?
Mr. A. Kohinoor: Now I am running this restaurant single handedly. It is nice but it’s very laborious. I come in the morning at 7’o clock here. When I finish for the day, I close the shop at 6’o clock in the evening. It’s ok.... the show goes on.

• Rajarshi: Do you plan to continue with this business ?
Mr. A. Kohinoor:  No. I am going to continue only till my father is there. Once my father departs (God forbid), then I am going to close down this place, I am going to sell it off. I am not going to do it myself. Today he doesn’t sign, my chacha doesn’t sign. I want to sell this place and they say no, till we are around you are going to do it. So I say ok. You all also should work. And so they even come to work.

• Rajarshi: Would you want this restaurant to adapt to the new generation of restaurants that people want, something like Cafe Modegar or Cafe Leopold ?
Mr. A. Kohinoor: You see, Cafe Mondegar and Cafe Leopold, they are basically running on alcohol business, beer business. Those are tourist places. But this place (Britannia) is totally running on mother’s recipe. I am a food joint. And my mother’s recipe custards, caramel custards, chocolate mousse, the berry pualo, the Sali boti. All these are my mother’s recipe. There’s a vast difference between Leopold Mondegar and Britannia.

• Rajarshi: Do you plan to offer something new on the menu to live up to the changing demands of the people ?
Mr. A. Kohinoor: No. This is the same compressed standard menu which was introduced by my mother in 1982. And this menu is going on till today. Prior to this menu there was a continental menu which was done by my grandfather during the British era.
