The Bhoj Company - The Dhakai Bhuri-Bhoj

Hello! Welcome to The Foody Me, a place to explore eternal escapades to eating and travelling to new food joints. Where to eat, what to eat, and how to make - all is just one click away!

All of my life, I’ve heard how delicious the Bangladeshi Foods are, but hardly did anybody knew how to cook them or what is the secret behind those mouth-watering recipes are, just across the border. So, this review is dedicated to Dhakai Bhojon, from The Bhoj Company, which I recently visited. But little did I know that I’ll come across the beauty of Dhaka, that too in our very own Kolkata! 

How It Started……

One fine evening Adda with few of my friends, the conversation started with Indian politics and ended with Food joints to try out. My friends upon sensing my ignorance, at Dhakai cuisine, they insisted on taking me out to this nearby place for dinner.



I was a bit sceptic while it comes to eating Bengali/Dhakai food outside my house. Somehow Bengalish food is best enjoyed while sitting at our home, enjoying the rice from those old steel plates, and those silly things. But the real problem starts when we have guests coming from outside and wants to taste a typically Bengalish-Dhakai cuisine in a good ambience. And, that’s when The Bhoj Company comes into the rescue! Located at Dalhousie, Kolkata, this is a must-visit place if you are craving typical delicious Dhakai cuisine at a pocket-friendly price range.

What I ordered…..

Greeted warmly by the floor manager, we took the stairway to the second floor. What grabbed our attention was the walls beautifully decorated with aesthetically old-styled paintings. Authentic Dhakai food served with a smile and gentle care, and the finger-licking flavours was a pure marriage between Bengali and Bangladeshi cuisine, that which needs to be tasted.

Coming to the menu, their menu section has a wide variety of food items, from which we ordered:

v  Calcutta Style Fish Fry


Yes, a cliched item, but a good appetizer to start with. Served with French fries and Kasundi (mustard sauce).

v  Dhakai Morog Pulao 


distinctly different from what we tasted here. The light and Ghee tossed Pulao, sprinkled with crispy fried Onion sprinkled on top, served with a flavoursome Chicken and Egg broth, indeed a great union of flavours.

v  Bengali Pulao with Jhal Paneer 


another gem here, something not to be missed at all.

v  Rasmalai 


No Bengali meal can end without having sweets. But how do I describe it? Small roundels made out of Rosogolla dipped in pure malai. Let’s just say, you SHOULD try it.

Thoughts: Overall, a friendly place to meet with your old friends and indulge the Dhakai Cuisine at a pocket-friendly price. The dinner and mostly the hospitality was something that I’ll remember for a long long time.

Bon Appétit!
