SREELEKHA MITRA

My fave restaurants...

6 Ballygunge Place and Oh! Calcutta.

My fave dishes...

I stick to Bengali cuisine on all five days of the Puja though I love continental food the most. And even though I prefer home food, I love the daab chingri and mochar ghonto at Oh! Calcutta. The options are varied at 6 Ballygunge Place with luchi, chholar dal, begun bhaja, dhokar dalna and many more dishes. I also love to have the bhog at our apartment puja.

 

PAULI DAM

My fave restaurants...

Crystal Chopsticks, Peter Cat and the little-known Eau Chew, off CR Avenue.

My fave dishes...

Crystal Chopsticks is closer home, so I go there often to dig into chicken and squids. I also love their momos. Chelo Kebab and sizzlers are my favourites at Peter Cat. I loved the Meatball Soup at Eau Chew and I would go there again for it. The soup has got a very distinct taste, which I haven’t yet come across in any other dish anywhere else.

RIMJHIM MITRA

My fave restaurants...

6 Ballygunge Place, Crystal Chopsticks and Mocambo.

My fave dishes...

During the Pujas, I prefer home-cooked food and my mom rustles up something special at least one day. But I love prawns and I love digging into the delicious daab chingri and chingrir malaikari at 6 Ballygunge Place. My expectations of Bangali khabar are very high and 6 Ballygunge Place always lives up to it.

I also drop by Crystal Chopsticks at Hindusthan Park for their Chilli Prawns. It’s yummy! I don’t like any accompanying dish with prawns. And, of course, Mocambo. I make it a point to order for their Prawn Steak. It is just delicious!

My fave restaurants...

Benjarong (the Thai restaurant in South City), Hushh in City Centre, Mainland China, The Wall and Pan Asian at ITC The Sonar.

My fave dishes...

I love the prawn soup at Benjarong, which has a soothing aroma of lemon grass. It’s very refreshing and nice. I love to feast on Italian dishes at Hushh and I love all the dishes at Mainland China and the Japanese food at Pan Asian.

RITUPARNA SENGUPTA

My fave restaurants...

Marco Polo In China, Chinoiserie at Taj Bengal, Baan Thai at The Oberoi Grand and Oh! Calcutta.

My fave dishes...

I go to Marco Polo In China for Mediterranean and continental cuisine. I like the dimsums and all the Chinese preparations at Mainland China. Tomyum Soup is my favourite at Baan Thai and I love the fish paturi at Oh! Calcutta.

INDRANI HALDER

My fave restaurants...

Sigree, Marco Polo In China and Mirch Masala.

My fave dishes...

I love the kebabs at Sigree — chicken grilled kebabs, tangri kebabs, sheekh kebabs, prawn kebabs.... All so scrumptious! At Mirch Masala, I love the tandoori fish. I also love the Chinese buffet at Marco Polo In China. It’s authentic Chinese cuisine.

SATABDI ROY

My fave restaurants...

Mainland China, Mandarin and Arsalan.

My fave dishes...

I love the prawn preparations at Mainland China. All their fish dishes are very good. I love the Mushroom Soup and Chicken Sweet Corn Soup at Mandarin. I prefer Chinese food to Indian and continental, but I just can’t give up the biryani at Arsalan.

My fave restaurants...

Oh! Calcutta, Sigree and Mocambo.

My fave dishes...

I love the luchi, kosha mangsho, chholar dal, kakra chingri bhapey, ilish machh and polau at Oh! Calcutta. I like the ambience and the various delectable kebabs at Sigree. The continental spread at Mocambo is sumptuous. I like their bekti preparations.

Mainland China, Big Boss in Tangra, Tung Fong and Mocambo.

My fave dishes...

I love the continental dishes at Mocambo. My favourite at Tung Fong is Mixed Fried Rice and the different kinds of desserts. At Big Boss, I love the Chicken Sweet Corn Soup, Prawn Chips, American Chopsuey and Mixed Chowmein. I like most of the items at Mainland China.

I love the rice noodles and panfried noodles at Bar-B-Q. But my favourite is biryani, so Dum Pukht is my destination. I love the ambience of La Terrasse. And I love the desserts in all these places!
