This well-liked restaurant is known for its traditional and contemporary Bengali cuisine. Try the prawns or the hilsa (a local fish), wrapped in banana leaves and steamed in a mustard and coconut marinade. The buffet here is one of the best you can get in the city—it's a great introduction to Bengali dishes.
In a residential neighborhood to the south, this restaurant takes the best and most unique ingredients and flavors of Bengali cuisine, and gives them a contemporary twist. Crab cakes come with mustard sauce and are baked with local greens in small clay saucers, river prawns are simmered in a coconut gravy with grapes, and desserts are delicately flavored with gondhoraj, a close cousin of the kaffir lime used in Thai dishes.
The city's love affair with biryani—aromatic and spiced rice usually cooked with chicken or mutton (goat)—is legendary and Arsalan has emerged as one of the most popular and successful biryani destinations. The biryani is served with chunky, golden potatoes and often a piece of hard-boiled egg.
Started in 2002, this is one of the most successful chains for traditional Bengali cuisine in upscale settings. All-time favorite dishes here include river prawns cooked in coconut milk and served in tender coconut shells.
This restaurant serving North Indian and Bengali dishes is a tasteful replica of a rural house, complete with a courtyard, a well, dark wood details, copper curios, and metal light fixtures. The traditional Bengali kebabs are wildly popular.
