Flavours of Kolkata

Flavours of Kolkata is one of the few Bengali restaurants in Mumbai offering authentic Bengali food and fresh water fish brought in from Calcutta.

The Kosha Mangsho (Well done Mutton) you get here is the best in a restaurant in Bombay. Goes great with Luchi (A Batura like Puri).

For starters try the Fish Kobiraji. It comes with a crusty covering which is better off discarded to enjoy the delicious fish inside.

The chops (maccher, chingri, mochar) considered the "running items" in Bengali food are nice and spicy. If you don't like spicy food you may want to tell them to not make these spicy.

You can also try the quintessential Begun Bhaja.

For the main course one can have the Kosha Mangsho or Kosha Murgi or a selection of Seafood in various preparations like Jhol (thin gravy), Kalia (rich gravy) or Sorshe (mustard gravy).

For desserts or rather sweets since we're eating Bengali food, there are three items. Mishti Doi, Kheer and Raaj Bhog. The only problem is sometimes they tend to make these too sweet. My favourite is the Mishti Doi (sweet dahi with jaggery).

Flavors of Kolkata is one of my favorite restaurants in the New Bombay area and with only 4 Bengali restaurants in the whole of Bombay consider yourself lucky and try it out if you are in New Bombay.
