Tucked away in a corner of Rajarhat, in Axis Mall, is this classy little place called Aaheli serving plates of magic. Priceyyy it is- in the range of Oh! So-So-Calcutta but then right from the wedding invite style menu card and the brassware, you know this it is a connoisseur’s delight. I knew I had one shot at it and... More

Visited Kolkata after a long time, and took the family for a Bengali special meal. We ordered 4 different type of thalis -for 4 persons. That was a mistake-prompted by the waiter who suggested that one thali is adequate for one person. Well, 75% of the items were left, and we realised that 2 thalis would have been more than... More

They are a bit on the pricey side, but the food is amazing. Try their Hilsa festival during the monsoons if you can. "Barishaaler Shorshe Iilish" is amazing. Also, in desserts, they make good kulfi-malai. The decor is good, large space.

For a Bengali to review a Bengali restaurant is a difficult task. One ends up finding something more or less or amiss in pretty much everything one eats. But here's one place where you can try everything on the menu. Here are the ones I would recommend - Bhapa Boneless Ilish, Bhetki Kalia, Chitol Maacher Peti, Pabda and the prawn... More

Last night's dinner was one where I went with great expectations,sadly felt very let down. I was convinced to choose this over other well known restaurants since there is so much hype and hoopla about Aaheli.Well, to start the sweet lassi was neither sweet nor very tasty-in fact insipid is more like it. Not even cooled...at the cost of INR... More

We had heard about Aaheli from friends. So we went there expecting great bengali cuisine. However, we were very disappointed. The place most probably caters to foreigners(read dollar earning individuals). the food was bland and no where close to the bengali food we had in other restaurants. The staff are friendly but aren't too helpful when u ask them for... More

Tried the Bengali veg thali meal... Quick intro to the cuisine and would rate it high. Of course more famous for the non-veg meal, but veg was also excellent. Pricey at 1250 per head, however would say that the ambience, the food and service are very good. Good place to take your guests. Enjoyed the variety of foods - dal,... More

The ambience is very good. The waiters are unobtrusive and service is polite. Not much of a range in the variety of dishes offered but all items are cooked to perfection and presented tastefully.
