Last year, I along with my parents and brother visited
Aaheli - The Peerless Inn for dinner during Bengali New Year’s Season.
Basically we visited there because it was my dad’s official party for Bengali
New Year. As we reached there and parked our car in the parking area, the
ambience of the place simply amazed me. I went on gazing at the beautiful
interior decoration of the lobby. Suddenly the warm and caring hospitality of
one of the hotel staff distracted me as he guided us to Aaheli. It seemed that
he knows us for long time.
As the gateway to Aaheli opened with a traditional Bengali
welcome saying “Namaskar” in folded hands, we entered into a totally new world.
Really it seemed like that. All the male staffs were dressed in typical Bengali
fashion statement, Punjabi and dhoti with chappal (slippers). This dining hall
is totally decorated in Bengali style, with Bengali hand fans made from palm
tree leaves, lantern and teraccota designs. The dining table decoration also
reflected a Bengali style. After we were comfortable in our seats, one of the
waiters, dressed in Bengali attire, came to us and offered us four plates and
glasses, all made from “Kasa”, a common and costly golden colored metal alloy
used to made utensils in traditional Bengal. I was awe-struck to see this. As
we were not there for normal dining, we did not require the menu card to decide
our menu though we had it in our table. The first item (the appetizer) that
decorated my shining Kasa plate was Rui Macher Patisapta. Unlike conventional
patisapta, this patisapta (a conventional Bengali dessert) was totally stuffed
with Rohu fish fillings. It was followed by a bowl of Bengali Pulao and Parser
Jhal, Chanar Dalna, Posto Chingri, Chingrir Malaikari, Bhetkir Paturi, Bhapa
Ilish and Dab Chingri. Finally the main course came to an end with one bowl of
white rice along with Kochi Pathar Jhol. In the desserts also, everywhere there
is an authentic touch of Bengali culinary art. Chanar Payesh followed by
Rasogolla, Chanar Sandesh and Rabri were all we had in desserts. It was one of
the memorable dining experiences in my lifetime, not only for the superb and
heavenly preparations but also for the hospitality and ambience.
