How do you know you’ve just walked into a Bengali restaurant?u00a0Walls decorated with old lanterns, radios, plants and Howrah-bridge and hand-pulled rickshaw murals? Check. Mustard fish and kathi rolls on the menu? Check. Bengali food lovers turned restaurateurs? Check.

Bong Bong, however, is all that and more, flavoured with a liberal dash of European chic. Serving what entrepreneurs Kanika Saxena and Surjapriya Ghosh call ‘contemporary Bengali’ fare, this eatery is thoughtful. Whether it is the café-like ambience that plays Pakistani Coke Studio hits and has a menu catering to the non-Bengali and the always on-the-move Mumbaikar or quirks like colourful, lit acrylic ice floating in your Coke, Bong Bong is all that you expect from a place named thus.
