Bangali Khawa Dawa in Guwahati

Who says you cannot savour Bengali food outside Kolkata? Guwahati is a place that will amaze you with authentic and scrumptious Bengali food. This north-east city will give you the experiences of being in Kolkata and relishing Bengali food to the fullest. 

Now you will ask me as to how can I assure you that! Well thisis coming from a Bengali staying in Guwahati who never miss Kolkata for the taste of Bengali food. Come on, when you get a platter full of Bengali dishes here why will you go somewhere else?

I was born and brought up in Guwahati. I so know the streets, markets and food joints in Guwahati where I get authentic Bengali food. Bhat, dal, bhaja, macher jhol, kosha mangsho and a desert at the end is what a Bengali desires the most. Though I have the luxury of being treated to Bengali food at home (nothing in the world can match up to my mother's culinary skills), I still look out for opportunities to treat myself with Bengali food!

So when my friend  from Delhi (who is a Punjabi) came over to Guwahati, I did not lose the chance to have Bengali food at one of my Bengali restaurant in Guwahati. So on a fine Sunday I took him to Shollo Ana Bangali restaurant in Lachit Nagar. The ambiance, the food and the hospitality of the staff were amazing. I ordered a Bengali platter full of bhat, aloo bhaja, dal, shukto, bhetki fry, ilish mach and chingri malai curry. And in no time the plate was finished. And if you were wondering what the bill came the bill to - Rs 400 for the two of us.Her jaws dropped at the price and the quality of the food!
