Meal for 2: INR 200 onwards
Restaurant details: Bhojohori Manna
With a chain of restaurants serving traditional Bengali cuisine, the place offers traditional recipes prepared with patience and passion. The menu is handwritten every day on a blackboard with coloured chalk distinguishing between vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.
July is the season of Hilsa and the crowd outside the BM is unbelievable. Served with copius amounts of rice and green chillies, it is to die for. The mutton chaap, bhetki fry and the cholar daal is simply brilliant.
So when in Kolkata, just catch a tram to Hindustan Park and eat till you burst…I have done that on numerous occasions and have always returned home with a halo on my head and a satisfied grin on my face.
ha ha ha.. that was a real description of the place.
BHM food costs more, a meal for two (specially if you go for non veg and try fish items) would now start from INR 400 and above. During summers they serve aam pora sharbat and during winters they serve natun gurer ice-cream (this is a sweet dish and not closer to the ice creams of our imaginations, but tastes yummy). Among meat items Mutton-Dak-Bunglow is a speciality.
