Review Bhojohori Manna - Puri

Bhojohori Manna one of the famous eatery chain in Kolkata had started their journey in this bengali influenced area few years ago. We had planned to visit this place once during our puri trip for lunch. The ambience was good. Staff behavior is polite and service is fast. The food amount and taste was not bad but price is always an issue for a special Bengali themed meal.

We took veg thali, everything was awesome just the Bengali pulao was different because we were used to salty pulao. The steamed fish wrapped in a ginger/garlic/cashew paste, cooked in a coconut leaf was simply excellent.

Very delicious food 👌 Perfect for Bengali cuisine. Just at a walking distance of 2mins from Puri Hotel. And the behaviour of the staffs is very good 👍😊

Bhojohori Manna is a must try restaurant. It has a very pleasant atmosphere. The waiters are also very helpful and attentive. And the food is like heaven! The Chingri Malai Curry is a must try dish according to my suggestion. This is my favourite restaurant till now.

Situated beside Puri hotel. They sure carry their name. We had steam rice, basanti polao, kachu bata chingri, dab chingri, mutton dakbanglow, aam er chutney, gurer ice cream. Though every food was finger licking delicious, kachu bata chingri was to die for. I will strongly recommend that dish. The ambience and service was very nice.

Amazing food experience. Visit here for great value for money Bengali food. Bhetki paturi and mutton kosha with luchi and Nolen gurer ice cream are must have. Highly recommended

The cuisine of a region is intrinsically integrated into the history and culture of the region. Bengali cuisine is one of the most eclectic of Indian regional cuisines and has been open to foreign influences for more than 800 years. Turks, Afghans, Mughuls, British, Portuguese, French, Danish, Dutch, Armenians, Chinese and other settlers have played a role in the gastronomical legacy of Bengali cuisine. Though the civilization of undivided Bengal is 4000 years old, not much is known about the cuisine of the early period, except for rice being a staple. Over the centuries Bengali cuisine has incorporated a wide range of vegetables, fish, meat and spices and different preparation styles - sheddho (boliled), bata (paste), pora (barbecued), bhapa (steamed), bhaja (fried) and jhol-jhal-shorshe (curried). A protocol of having a typical Bengali meal has evolved traditionally starting with a bitter preparation and ending with sweets. The story of Bhojohori Manna began out of a garage space at Ekdalia, Kolkata in March 2003. Five friends from diverse backgrounds with no formal F & B training but having a passion for food and people, reckoned from their own personal experiences that there was a vacuum in Kolkata for simple 'home style' Bengali food. The name Bhojohori Manna was chosen from a popular Bengali film song rendered by the legendary singer Manna Dey. The humorous track "Ami Sri Sri Bhojohori Manna..." revolves around a widely travelled cook who returns to his native land with a signature culinary style. The business model was inspired by the charming old world concept of 'pice hotels'​ and moulded to the requirements of the day. Within a month of opening the first outlet, Bhojohori Manna struck a chord with the masses. A combination of filling up the vacuum in the market along with the food, the brand name, the affordability, the simple environment and a bit of media information...all these played a role in attracting the crowds. Thereafter the story changed completely...by May 2003 we had huge crowds waiting outside our little outlet on the weekends...it was embarrassing and a time had come to think ahead. In the course of the next few years the market driven demand resulted in Bhojohori Manna's expansion in Kolkata. The team evolved into a structured format in marketing, operations and CRM areas. The customers...foodies from all over India and many parts of the world including celebrities from different walks of life...contributed immensely in establishing Bhojohori Manna. The media also played a major role in promoting brand Bhojohori Manna. Bhojohori Manna expanded beyond Kolkata to Bengaluru, Siliguri and Puri between 2009 and 2012 and the expansion plans are ongoing.

It is a Bangali cousine restaurant. Location is easy to reach and approx 150 m away from Puri beach. Food quality is good. Authentic taste.Some dishes need to be improved . Quantity is very less as compare to price. Every time all items are not available. Overall good experience..

One of the best restaurants in puri for authentic bengali food. Excellent service. Excellent food quality, much appreciated to the cook for favolous taste. Expensive not affordable by all. But once everyone can tryout specially non-bengali tourist to taste the flavours of authentic bengali food.
