Bangalore Cuisine | 6 Ballygunge Place
Ok, so after a long break after my first post, I have finally started writing for my little blog. And what's better than starting with an entry on food. And come to think of food, my favourite (naturally), is bengali cusine.
Well, to be frank, currently I am living and working in Bangalore. It has been almost a year since I came here. In the initial days it was difficult to find a bengali restaurant partly because I was quite new to this city and did not know about many places.
Then, a friend of mine told me about all the famous bengali food joints here. And the first item on his list was this restaurant called 6 Ballygunge Place. Well, the name was quite familiar to me as I had heard about a similar restaurant back in Kolkata also. In fact the name of the restaurant is the same as its address (Ballygunge Place being the name of a lane in Kolkata). Then I came to know that this restaurant is actually a branch of the Kolkata restaurant. It seemed odd that in Kolkata I never went to a Bengali restaurant, but here I was looking for one so desparately. Seems you crave for something only when there is little availabilty.
Anyway, finally I took some time out of my not-so-busy life to visit this place. This restaurant is located in Indiranagar area in Bangalore which is a very posh locality and the restaurant was no different. It was decorated with black and white photographs of Kolkata, reminiscent of its older charm. The place was very neat and clean. The food items were a bit costly but that was something I already expected. A bowl of rice costs around Rs. 60/- !
I must admit that the quality of cooking was very good, and it came very very close to my mother's cooking which I am sure nothing can beat. This place is mainly meant for the non-veg people as bengali cuisine is mainly non-veg dominated by fish preparations. Although vegerations need not lose heart as there are vegetarian items on their menu which will be more than sufficient to tickle your taste buds. Specifially I would recommend Hilsa, Rohu and Mutton for non-vegetarians. Also dont forget the 'alubhaja' which is basically the bengali term for fried potato chips.
Overally, this is one of the best restaurants I had ever visited and I can give it a rating of 4.5 out of 5. A meal for two here will cost you around 400-600 depending on how much you order.
That's enough for today. Hope to come back very soon with some more small talk.
Till then, enjoy your food, and enjoy your life long holidays.
