Oh! Is there no such thing as 6/5?
Oh! Calcutta is literally a stone's throw away from my house and I am cursing myself for having waited soooo long before trying it out. Anyway, I finally tried it yesterday. It was also my first experience with bengali cuisine (and I feel terribly ashamed saying that).
Since I am more of a shellfish person, we ordered a steamed crabmeat and shrimp starter. It came wrapped in a banana leaf and was out of the world!
For main course we ordered a tomato based prawn curry. They have a river water hisla festival going on and the waiter recommended a dry hisla must try dish -so we ordered that as well. The prawn curry was delicious and so was the fish which also, like the starter, came wrapped up in a banana leaf. It was flavoured with an awesome coconut based masala and was served in a earthen handi with rice.
Though our stomachs were threatening to explode we ended the meal with rasagollas. :)
A simply outstanding little place.
Almost forgot to mention the attentive and polite staff.
1. They told us our main course would take a while and thus we should order it early enough. 2. They did not as much as let us pick up a serving spoon. 3. The recommendations were all excellent. 4. After the main course a waiter very neatly cleared the crumbs from the table.5. All of them wished us good night on our way out.
Meal for two with drinks: Rs. 1357/-
Service with a smile: Priceless ( How corny! :P )
