Order the Bengali food and stay for the seafood, because these guys do wonders with it. We are big fans of the Shorshey Rohu, which is basically Rohu cooked in a mustard gravy and tempered with chillies. Tangy and spicy, this dish is a crowd-pleaser and is love at first bite. And if that’s not enough, you just have to try out the Chingri Malai Curry. Fresh, succulent prawns cooked in coconut milk gravy are one of the tastiest dishes on the menu.

Another favourite of ours when it comes to Bengali food in the city is Bijoli Grill. Their menu encompasses some of the best delicacies from the City of Joy. They fry the Beguni to perfection. For those who don’t know what beguni is, it is batter-fried eggplant, and as simple as it sounds, it tastes absolutely brilliant. And if Beguni doesn’t float your boat, then you’ll get your fix of Dhokar Dalna and Luchi-Aloo Dum.
