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.

Weirdest Waiter
I've been there twice.. once I returned without eating since the waiter took forever to take the order..next time I went there ('cause I'm such a sucker for authentic regional food..i had to try it) I saw the person next to our table leave after giving the waiter a piece of his mind..for the same reason..
having said that, i had some potato dish (not alu poshto).. which was quite home like but nothing great.. my brother had a nonveg dish but it seems it was all gravy not much of the meat..and it was also ok.
But u need to go there just to check out the Waiter.. am not sure if he does it on purpose, but he'll come to you like dirty harry from the wild wild west.. and just check out how he responds to your queries..what style (which gets irritating if u're really hungry)..

A taste of Bengal in Andheri West!
Mmmmm! Discovered this place quite recently and have frequented it thrice already!
It's located in Oshiwara Andheri west, opp Yoko Sizzlers and Oshiwara Police Station (a little ahead). Small place, with basic seating arrangement - plastic chairs etc.. in all around 7-8 tables.
The food is amazingly fresh and tasty with cooks and the ingredients being from Bengal...
The seafood has all the flavours which good Bengali food deserves to have and the serving portions are quite average to generous too!
Do try out their Biryani's - yes biryani's as recommended by Mrs.Roy Choudhary.. Quite different from the regular biryani and amazingly tasty.
On the pricing, the good news is that it is quite economical and does not hit the wallet hard like Oh! Calcutta. The food is priced in the range of Rs. 30/- 50- for starters and Rs. 60/- 100/- for each of the main course items...
And yes, they have a good variety in terms of fish - with assorted gravies..
The place is very cosy and belongs to the Roy Choudhary family who run it very effectively.
Cons - the staff is new and it takes them ages to get you your food..both the times we nearly starved to death waiting for the food to arrive from the kitchen!
Second, you cannot sit down at length and have a leisurely meal as there is limited seating...Third, no alcohol - but that shouldn't be a problem with hard-core food lovers...
The desserts - mishti doi and a rice based cold sweet kheer (kinda forgot the name!) were delicious too!
Try out the place, you won't regret it! Only be warned, try and go after calling as the wait for the tables (at times) is too long...
Cheers,
Ajai Bathija
