Eat my Bengali attitude
The address mentioned here is the old one. This place has now shifted to Oshiwara next to Roti Punjab.
Today I went to try some Bengali food and entered a rather empty place. I have tried this place once before and ordered Mutton Kosha a bengali style of preparation. It says Thick Gravy below the dish name on the menu.
There were two men on the next table trying desperately to finish 6 parathas they had ordered. The dish had come to them with absolutely no garvy. The owner an old eccentric man was trying to justify that this dish called Mutton kosha comes with no gravy. I made a comment that if here is a customer who does not know about bengali food well, should be either informed well, or simply the owner should get some gravy from inside and finish the topic. But the argument on bengali style of cooking and non-bengalis not knowing what bengali food is.
There were two obnoxiously obese benagli women sitting on the next table and the owner was asking them if Kosha mutton comes with gravy or not, to which they answered to him in Bengali - no not much gravy. And then looked at us and very rudely said "If you dont know about bengali food, why do you come to a bengali food joint"
I kept my cool and just looked at the whole scene - the bengali owner couple was smiling as if mocking non-benaglis coming to their restaurant. I found it absolutely insulting and rude on there part when they continued to argue with the customers.
I just got up and walked out wihtout eating anything.
But yes, I forgot to mention, I ate a lot of the bengali ATTITUDE.
A Big NO to the place from me.
