Nineteen bowls, one leaf: shukto to payesh, with ilish or kosha mangsho in the middle. Unlimited bhaat and dal, one seating at 1 PM. Come hungry, leave slow.

Five days of khichuri bhog, labra, beguni, tomato chutney and payesh — plus the Nabami mutton. Pre-order for the para pandal or your building.

When the Padma hilsa arrives, we cook it seven ways on one banana leaf — bhaja, shorshe, bhapa, paturi, tel-jhol, doi-ilish and ilish-er dim. July to September.

Six to nine, every day. Bhaar-er cha, hot telebhaja, muri, and the corner table nobody hurries you from. Poetry readings on the last Friday of the month.
Amader golpo
Bhojon began in 2011 as eight tables in the ground floor of the Ghosh family home on Rashbehari Avenue, cooking the Sunday menu Soumitra's mother had cooked for forty years — mustard oil, gobindobhog, fish bought at Gariahat before seven, and nothing that could not be explained to a grandmother.
There are thirty tables now and a second kitchen for the biryani, but the rules have not changed. The mishti doi still sets overnight in clay. The kosha still takes two hours. And Rina Mashi, who started as a helper in that first kitchen, still decides whether the shukto is ready.

Why Bhojon
Soumitra buys the fish himself at Gariahat every morning. If the rui is not good, there is no doi maach that day.
No cream, no colour, no pre-made gravies. Kosha takes two hours because it takes two hours.
Sixteen vegetarian dishes cooked without onion or garlic, in a separate set of kadhais.
Ordering here means no 25% commission, which is why the biryani still has a proper piece of mutton.
The kitchen

Left a bank job in 2011 to cook his mother's Sunday menu. Still does the Gariahat fish run at 6 AM.

Joined as a helper in the first kitchen; now nothing leaves the niramish section without her tasting it.

Runs the floor, the reservations book and the Sunday thali seating with a cricket scorer's calm.

Trained with Nitai-da the moira; curates the last-Friday poetry adda and the nolen gur calendar.
Guest stories
The shorshe ilish tasted exactly like my thakuma's — thin gravy, proper mustard sting, oil on top. I have not said that about a restaurant before.

Ordered kosha mangsho and luchi on WhatsApp for eight people on Nabami. Reply in three minutes, food in forty, the mutton fell off the bone. Now our Puja tradition.

As a vegetarian in a fish city I expected two dishes. The niramish thala had nine — the shukto and dhokar dalna were the best I've eaten outside a Puja bhog.
