Khunti Kadai Bengali Restaurant
খুন্তি কড়াই
A Bengali restaurant on HGB Road in the city centre, known for consistently good fish curry, fish thalis and slow-cooked mutton.
Located on HGB Road in central Melarmath, opposite the Madan Mohan Temple and within walking distance of the Ujjayanta Palace area. It specialises in home-style Bengali and North Indian dishes, with both meat and vegetarian options: steamed hilsa in mustard, pabda fish in a spicy gravy, prawn curry in coconut milk, slow-cooked mutton kosha, and basanti pulao, a sweet-scented yellow rice. The lunchtime fish thali is especially popular. Expect to spend about 500 rupees for two. It can get crowded at mealtimes, and some reviews note that hygiene is only average, so consider going outside peak hours.
