"This much-loved specialty Bengali restaurant inhabits a pretty, vintage townhouse in a posh south Kolkata neighborhood. The setting, with its chessboard floor, ornate chandeliers, and period furniture, is reminiscent of aristocratic mansions of 19th-century Calcutta. The menu features a luxurious selection of Bengali classics like daab chingri (prawns cooked in tender, cream-laden coconut shells), kosha mangsho (dryish mutton curry), and chital macher muitha (fish dumplings in red gravy). There are also a smattering of lesser-known delicacies culled from Bengali cookbooks and the kitchens of old Calcutta’s patrician households. Well-heeled locals book tables here for celebratory meals and often bring out-of-towners for an introductory course on Bengali food." - Priyadarshini Chatterjee
