This Bhojohori is at Hindustan Road and not in Sarat Bose Road.
A ground floor residential apartment converted into a restaurant. Seating arrangement is much better than the Ekdalia joint. This one runs an attached kitchen. Food is usually good, with their flagship item like Mutton Dukbangla and Degama Saheber Kankra. Not to mention the usual choice of Illish, Pabda, Chingri (Golda & Bagda both), Chicken and Mutton.
Usually I also go for Sukto (though it's not like my Mom's recipe), Mocha'r ghonto and Jhinge Posto.
Since I went out of Kolkata for the last 5 years, I visit this place whenever I come back to the city.
Of late, I observed the service is getting poorer, and the most annoying thing is not showing courtesy and care to "non-bong" customers.
Last time, a non-bong family of three (Husband, wife and a kid) next to me ordered for Loochi, Daal and some torkari. They also ordered Borishali Illish. They wanted the Illish to be served along with the meal, but the Illish came at least after half an hour once they are finished their Loochi. May be the selection of menu was not right, but in that case they should be guided with Bengali menue.
Bhojohori, if they want to become trend setter need to improve in service.
