WHAT WE LOVED
Shorshe Ilish Ravioli
This beautiful fusion of Italian pasta and Bengali shorshe ilish reminds you that not all fusions are bad after all. Thin layers of pasta encasing the aromatic queen of fish with a dash of pungent mustard... ‘kya karein control nahin hota’!
Assorted Grills
Well-cooked prawns, squid and pomfret grilled with a choice of sauce and served hot? For us, this is a winner, hands down.
Appam with Masala Chingri
Bites of prawns cooked in a mildly-spicy gravy with crispy-edged appams, is light on the stomach.
And there’s more....
For all the health-conscious peeps, there’s a salad counter serving three varieties of lettuce and dressings. Garnish ingredients include bell peppers, mushrooms, sprouts, sun-dried tomatoes, chicken, shrimps and more.
Soulful music to magic tricks — the entertainment goes beyond the platter. Round it off with some shopping... handmade home decor items, saris, dupattas....
