The remodelled 6 Ballygunge Place has finally opened and it's wow
Go for the traditional Bengali dishes as well as the retro continental fare.
It was an event most South Kolkata residents were waiting for with bated breath. When will 6 Ballygunge Place open? Why is it taking so long to remodel a restaurant? But the wait has been well worth it. Earlier the restaurant only had one floor. Now, it is a mammoth three-floored dining space.
The ground floor is dedicated to the buffet section, the first two a la carte dining, the third to banquets and the rooftop for open air parties. Even the menus are a delight to read. Go for the traditional Bengali dishes as well as the retro continental fare.
You must try the Bhuna Chingri which has tender succulent prawns without the sweetness of a malaikari. The Ilish Begun Roll which is part of the festival menu is a modern take on a classic pairing that of hilsa in a light gravy with eggplants. Do try their Paan Masala, which a regular vouches "is to die for".
