A Royal Bengali Treat at Koshe Kosha – Park Street, Kolkata 🍛🐐

Hi fellow Local Guides, Moderators & food enthusiasts.

Namaste from India :india:

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Koshe Kosha, a celebrated restaurant on the bustling Park Street in Kolkata, and I must say—it was an unforgettable dive into the heart of authentic Bengali cuisine. As a passionate Local Guide, I love exploring regional delicacies, and this place certainly delivered a soulful experience worth sharing.

About Koshe Kosha :round_pushpin:

Located on the ever-vibrant Park Street, Koshe Kosha is a name that echoes Bengali tradition and taste. With its heritage-inspired decor and an inviting ambiance, the restaurant stays true to its motto: “Bengali cuisine at its best.” The walls are adorned with painted depictions of Bengali culture, and you instantly feel at home the moment you step in.

Their menu ranges from classics like Shorshe Ilish and Chingri Malai Curry to hearty thalis that showcase the diversity of Bengali flavors. Whether you’re a local or a traveler wanting to taste Bengal on a plate—this is a must-visit spot!

What I Ordered – :fork_and_knife_with_plate: The Mutton Bhog Thali

I ordered the Mutton Bhog Thali, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Here’s what came on the platter:

  • A generous portion of fragrant steamed rice
  • Papad (crispy roasted)
  • Crispy jhurjhure aloo bhaja (fried julienned potatoes)
  • Flavorful dal (lentils)
  • Creamy begun basanti (brinjal in mustard sauce)
  • Spicy and rich Kosha Mangsho (slow-cooked mutton curry)
  • Chutney (tangy and sweet)
  • A bowl of mixed salad with onion, green chili, carrot, and lemon
  • And finally, a soft and juicy rosogolla to end on a sweet note

:backhand_index_pointing_right: The Kosha Mangsho was the highlight—fall-off-the-bone tender mutton in a luscious, dark gravy, slow-cooked to perfection. Every item complemented each other beautifully, making it a truly satisfying and complete meal.

:round_pushpin:My Review about this place -

:wheelchair_symbol: Accessibility

  • The entrance is little difficult for those using wheelchairs or walking aids.
  • Seating inside is moderately spaced, though a bit tight during peak hours.
  • Washroom accessibility could be improved, but the staff is cooperative and ready to assist.

:seedling: Sustainability Factor

Koshe Kosha shows commendable practices towards sustainability:

  • The restaurant uses reusable serveware, and the food portions reduce waste.
  • Most ingredients used are locally sourced, preserving not only freshness but also supporting local farmers and markets.
  • They avoid excessive use of packaging for dine-in services.

A subtle but impactful nod to eco-conscious dining.

Every cuisine in India has a unique charm. When I was in Kochi I had liked the Malabar Biryani and Karimeen. Likewise bengali cuisines are mostly for the freshwater fishes.

Thank you for your appreciation @MathanVibranarayan sir.

Kosha Mangsho is an emotion to the Bengali people in this part of the world. Sundays are incomplete without a juicy piece of mutton soaked in a black sumptuous curry which complementary each other. These days, I rarely consume mutton to avoid weight gain but it really hurts when I see the image of some good Mutton Kosha on the internet :sweat_smile:

From the thread, I see that you had a great time at Koshe Kosha outlet in Park Street, Kolkata, @NandKK ji… Enjoy :+1:

After coming to kolkata, I too realized that Kosha Mangsho is not only a cuisine, it is embedded in the culture of the complete bengal. Thank you for the appreciations @ReshamDas ji.

And Sorry, if my post had caused any problem since you are avoiding mutton, however Sunday is always a cheat day. You can have the mangsho once in a fortnight or a month. :sweat_smile::sweat_smile::sweat_smile:
