Tripadvisor doesn’t feature them in the “Top 10 Restaurants of Bolpur.” And do not trust them! Honestly, if you do not try a lunch at Panthashala, you’ll seriously miss out on something,you’ve to regret for.
Panthashala is located as soon as you cross Ilambazar forest, en route to Bolpur. It is a clubhouse of a gated residential community Panthaniwas . Just four and a half hours drive from Kolkata and approximately three and a half hours by train to reach the exact destination.
Bolpur is one of the most beautiful and picturesque towns in West Bengal. When the monsoon comes, the air whispers in your ears, rain Gods start dancing on the sodden beds. This monsoon is no exception. It brings a variety of delicious monsoon-specific Bengali dishes. Savour the taste at Panthashala, which continues to be one of the best hotels in Bolpur. It is as serene and seductive place as one can imagine.
Panthashala’s main focus is to serve the best quality, healthy and delicious food that satisfies the tastebuds of the visitors coming in here. It is the perfect balance between supply and demand of consumers and the luxury of having a large kitchen in the clubhouse. There are a lot of delicious cuisines from traditional Bengal being served on your plate.
We had a jumbo ‘Postor Bara’ along with other fried accompaniments to start with. And it’s a pure bliss! Then we had Sona Muger Daal, Mochar Ghanta, and Dhokar Dalna. But the real drama began when the fish items started coming one after another! Sorshe Ilish, Pabda-r Tel Jhol, Chingri Malaikari, Katla Curry, and Pomfret Jhal were out of the world! The freshness of the fish can compete the artistry of cooking these items! Each and every cuisine was exquisite and exclusive. The fishes were paired with both Chicken and Mutton. Though the mutton was outstanding, I was still licking my fingers busy enjoying the variety of fishes.
I’m sure, by now, you’re enticed to visit Panthashala in your next trip to Bolpur!
