Aarhani Restaurant — Restaurant in Bolpur

A bowl of Kashmiri mutton which a four year old kid and his four year old dad both enjoyed and relished to have a finger-licking experience! Sounds unbelievable? 😋

It has been exactly one week since the unforgettable afternoon in Aarhani Restaurant in Shantiniketan.❤️

This place run by a very kind couple, Rini di and Dibyansghu da, did elevate the idea of home-chef to an altogether sublime level!

Three plates of fine rice to have with daal and aloo bhaja dotted with posto, some bandhakopi, two plates of mutton and some awesome mango chutney to finish off - yes, all this for only INR 750/- for 3 of us.

So what one has to do? Preorder is a must here - at least 4 hours ahead, if not the previous day. Then have some patience and then sit back in the outdoor area or the mud house and just soak in the earthy atmosphere.

Like most reviews here, my account of my visit will also be rather hagiographical. I am no expert on gourmet, but the culinary ingenuity of the chef is unparalleled. By her own admission, the 'begun tok' is the most popular dish that is served at Aarhani, and not without reason. It is mind-numbingly good, and a gastronomic experience of its own. The chicken curry served at dinner was sumptous too, and perhaps coincidentally shared that proprietary zest of the 'begun'. My reasons for not pointing out the other dishes are purely logistical, but they are equally praiseworthy. As for the chef herself and her husband, they were kind and perfectly amiable. To conclude, and I say this without any unction whatsoever: a meal...

The name of the restaurant has changed and it was difficult to ascertain the location as a result, but once we went there, it was an overwhelming experience.

Honestly, I was not expecting the food to be this good. But it proves that outside bells and whistles do not matter. The quality of food was really excellent. Items such as - chilli egg plant, methi chicken and mutton kasha were absolutely amazing.

The staff were courteous as well.

Few points of improvement I would like to add for the owners - to include Papad and one Dessert to make it one complete package.

Also, please note - you guys need to place food order one day in advance. Luckily for me the staff were courteous enough to accept my booking on...
