We loved multiple things. First, there was the food. The spread of items wasn't exceptional to be honest but what really stood out was the quality of the ingredients and the cooking. It didn't matter whether we were tucking into the zamindari thali at lunch or the kebabs in the evening or even the Asian for dinner. Everything, including breakfast...

We loved multiple things. First, there was the food. The spread of items wasn't exceptional to be honest but what really stood out was the quality of the ingredients and the cooking. It didn't matter whether we were tucking into the zamindari thali at lunch or the kebabs in the evening or even the Asian for dinner. Everything, including breakfast the following morning, was fantastic. The stand out item for us though was the kochupata chingri. We also loved the friendliness of the staff. Always smiling and most importantly, nearly every single one of them knew something or the other about the history of the 400 yr old property, ranging from the little info about how the temple of Dakshineswar was inspired by the temple (also built by Rani Rashmoni before Dakshineswar) outside the rajbari, the films that have been shot at the location (Ray's Jalsaghar, Guru Dutt's Saheb Biwi Ghulam or the more recent Bulbul). Finally, a word on the bartending skills of Kanji and Abhishek. Absolutely brilliant! Loved the gondhoraj cosmopolitan and the whisky sour that we ordered. My second drink was a bartender's special with whisky orange juice, triple sec and some other stuff. Fabulous is the word. I'd also like to call out some staff members who were superb - Nibedita and Subhojit. Last but not the least, I loved the fact that the valet had cooled our car a bit before bringing it to us. Attention to detail was incredible.
