| Representative meal - forgot to take a photograph |
Went
there recently for the 1st time and loved it. The enclosed air
conditioned section is small, seating a maximum of 26 people. There is a
large open area where one can dine alfresco! I wouldn't do it as the surroundings outside are very mediocre. It is simply done up (read as no
table cloth and basic furniture)
.
The
food is the STAR and really shines through. I’m Bengali and I can vouch for its
authenticity and taste..
I’ve
always patronised Oh Calcutta! But its pricey so visiting often is not an
option. Bhojohori Manna is affordable – so I recommend it to all of you,
whether Bengali or not – do yourself a favour, go there, and enjoy Bengali
cuisine
For
the Pujas, there a special menu running daily till Maha Dashami (Saturday 4th
for us Bongs) of an amazing selection of food thalis (Rs 750 plus taxes) of
awesome Bengali dishes (giant shrimp, etc etc)
The restaurant
also offers a thali (Mini or maxi) allowing even one person to eat a proper Bengali
meal consisting of many courses from the fried veggie to the bitter followed by
dal, fish, etc etc with rice and luchi all
the way to the dessert. Since we were four persons we ordered a la carte. Here’s
what we ate:
Begun
bhaja (brinjal fry) large pieces cut length wise - delicious
Shukto
(a simple homely mixed vegetable with karela, raw banana, drumsticks, potato)
Chana
dal - very good
Rice
– steamed is best with fish curries
Luchi
– maida puris - excellent
Macher
Kalia (Bekti fish – no bones in a red gravy - good)
Shorse
Mach (Ilish – with bones in mustard gravy- good)
Dakbungalow
Mutton – a dry dish - awesome
Aamer
Chutney (Mango chutney)
Mishti
Doi
Good
service though some of the food items were not as hot as they could be – taken back
and brought back HOT. Great service with a smile.
The wait staff were very good in recommending the number of each dish to order. Portions are
small to allow one to taste many courses
Loved
it and will be back soon. Note: No alcohol is available.
