A piece of Kolkata right in the heart of Silicon Valley ! Chaa, Luchi-torkaari, koraishutir kochuri, kosha mangsho …… as authentic as it gets.
Don’t miss the fish fry, served with kashundi (traditional Bengali mustard sauce) and onions…..
we order it every time and it never disappoints.
The selection of desserts (mishti doi, sandesh and roshogolla) are also exceptional, not cloying sweet and a delightful finishing touch to any meal.
Not to forget the boutique decoration and the very courteous hostess adds to the already excellent experience.

We had a very disappointing experience.
Had to wait for 30mins to get our order served .
Couldn’t even get our appetizers served till then.
Very poor service. Food was ok.
Not really happy.
I have had Bengali food lot of times but didn’t find this one authentic tasting.
Ee ordered- Mughlai paratha, veg hakka chowmein, Schezwan Chicken and Rolls.Mughlai paratha was literally half the size of an authentic paratha.
Chowmein was overcooked, i mean it was soggy.
Food was too greasy.
Only good thing was the food was spicy “ i mean as per Indian palate”.
Won’t prefer to visit again.

Owner response

After a long craving we found a bengali restaurant in the bay area.
Good to fulfill the craving.
We have tried kolkata style rolls , fish fry , mutton duck bungalow.
Will try more next time as they offer a new phuchka kolkata style.
Price wise it's a little expensive.
But quality is good , not compromised.
Mutton duck bungalow tasted ok , there was a chance to improve.
I felt the black cardamom taste was a bit stronger otherwise it was nice ..overall love it will visit again
