6 Ballygunge Place

6 Ballygunge Place is well known for recreating traditional Bengali home cooking in a proper restaurant setting, drawing on old family recipes. Its bhetki paturi, a fish preparation wrapped and steamed in banana leaf with a mustard paste, remains a signature order, along with the chingri malaikari, a rich prawn curry cooked in coconut milk. The restaurant has grown into a well recognised chain across Kolkata, and its old world decor combined with genuine Bengali flavours makes it a favourite for anyone wanting a proper Bengali meal beyond home cooking.
