It’s not an exaggeration to say that there’s no one as passionate about food as the Probashi Bengali. This is why living away from home is quite a challenge for Bongs because their hearts are back home- in a plate full of Ilish Maach, Begun Bhaja and Luchi. Well, no Chole Bhature, Momos and Shwarmas can satiate their cravings for home-cooked Bangla food. No not even Rajma Chawal, Dilliwalahs!
If you are a Bengali living far away from home and you occasionally crave for a dose of Kosha Mangsho and Dal Aloo Bhaja, then visit these restaurants in the capital for a taste of authentic Bengali cuisine.
