It’s time for another food festival & this time it’s our
festival!
As you might know that we are Bengalis so, we are super
excited to talk about the ongoing Bengali Food Festival at Nook, Aloft Cessna
Business Park, Bangalore.
We have been to many festivals at Nook, but by far we found
this to be the best! No bias at all as the food is what impressed us. The
execution was brilliant and most of the items tasted as they should while some
had a certain twist to it.
We were not disappointed with a single item to be honest.
Now, coming down to the food:
They have the festival menu & also the regular spread
for customers who don’t want to try festival items.
 |
| Mutton & Veg Shingara |
 |
| Dhaka style mutton kofta |
 |
| Bengali vegetarian preparations |
 |
| Egg Chop |
About the festival menu: the spread is absolutely massive!
There were almost equal options for veg & non veg. For veg, from Aloo
Bhate, Kumror Chhechki to Begun Bharta & Aloo/Jhinge Posto there was a wide
variety. For non-veg: starting with kebabs, Bangladeshi Mutton Kofta, Egg Chops
to Ilish Bhaja, Ilish Bhapa, Mutton Dak Bungalow, Murghir Jhol & Daab
Chingri & more! Now that’s enough to make a Bengali happy for sure. The
food was exquisite & lip smacking. We loved each & every preparation.
Before we forget, they also have Mutton Shingara & Veg
Shingara & Fuchka!
The Daab Chingri was partially cooked in the green coconut
which most places don’t do. There was also Chicken Mughlai Paratha which was
also the real deal.
 |
| Chicken Tikka |
 |
| Aloo & Coconut Tikki |
 |
| Ilish Bhaja |
 |
| Daab Chingri |
So, from our side we would recommend everything but if we
have to filter out:
Veg: Aloo Posto, Aloo & Coconut Tikkis, Begun Bharta
& Chholar Dal.
Non Veg: Daab Chingri, Mutton Dak Bungalow, Egg Chops, Bhapa
Ilish, Mughlai Paratha.
That’s not all: Bengalis are known for their sweet tooth so
the desserts this time were epic. Apart from the regular variations like
pastries, cheesecakes etc. there was Nolengur Payesh, Kancha Golla, Raj Bhog,
Patishapta, Malai Chomchom & Roshogolla. No recommendations as all of them
were delightful.

| Bhapa Ilish |
If you’re familiar with Bengali Cuisine, you shouldn’t miss
this for sure! If you aren’t, do give this a try as most of the preps are
pretty close to authentic & taste exactly the way it should.
Reiterating: This is the best festival we’ve experienced.
Kudos to Exec Chef Sandeep & his team for making us feel
closer to home!
The festival is on, so don’t miss it.
We’ll be back soon with another tasty adventure soon.
Till then—Keep Calm & live to eat!
