About this spot
This Bengali specialist on Race Course Road serves the most authentic fish curry outside of Kolkata, with recipes passed down through three generations. The hilsa fish curry uses the prized Bengali fish when in season, while their mutton kosha has a deep, complex flavor that takes hours to develop. Owner-chef personally sources spices from Kolkata's New Market twice yearly.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the hilsa fish curry during monsoon season (July-September) when it's freshest
- Ask for extra rice as the gravies are designed to be mixed generously
- The mutton kosha takes 45 minutes to prepare so order it first
