Oh! Calcutta - Khar, Mumbai

I've been a fan of Bong food from the time I tried it for the very first time and 'Oh! Calcutta' have been on the list ever since. Finally got a chance last weekend and mannnn was I excited :D

Its located right at the main road hence finding the place isn't a problem...The restaurant is quiet neat in terms of decor, nothing really fancy...its quiet spacious hence getting a table wasn't a problem even though it was a weekend dinner plan.

What we ordered-

Mochar Chop (Banana flower Croquettes) - I swear...This dish is a discovery!!! I mean I never imagined Banana flower can taste this delicious...mildly sweet and crispy and a very unique flavor of the banana flower.

Roshun Bhapa Maach (Steamed fish with garlic and chilli marinade) - This dish is absolute heaven but the problem is they serve only 2 fillets and then you keep longing for more... we chose Basa fish and trust me it was one of the most flavorful Basa Ive ever tried.
Murshidabadi Murgi Fry (Pan Grilled Chicken with herbs) - Its grilled chicken with skewers, quiet tasty and mildly spicy... was an instant hit with our 3 year old.
Chingri Fry (Pan Grilled Prawns with herbs) -
This dish is not on the menu since there aren't enough prawn starters, (And i LOVE Prawns) the waiter suggested we go for this dish... soft melt in your mouth prawns and mild flavors.

Kosha Mangsho (Pot Roasted Mutton in traditional spices) - If you like mutton then do try this dish...tender meat and robust flavors... my only complain, it was a little dry... personally i would have loved a little more gravy to go with my lucchis. 
Bhetki Shorshe Bata Jhal (Freshwater Betki in Mustard & Green Chilli Gravy) - The Fish was fresh and succulent, the gravy was rich and full of flavors...goes really well with plain rice.
Luchhis (Puris) & Plain Rice
a
nd Last but not the least 
Roshogulla 

I wont say the prices are exorbitant, it does fall under the expensive category but the food is well worth it.

Toh Pet Hasega Pocket Royega!
