Authentic Bengali Coastal Gastronomy: Hilsa, Pomfret & Prawn Feasts at Hotel Banashree
A coastal holiday to Bakkhali is incomplete without indulging in Bengal’s revered culinary treasure: fresh, delicately spiced seafood caught straight from the Bay of Bengal and prepared using time-honored family recipes.
From the Sea to Your Plate
At Hotel Banashree, our in-house kitchen procures the freshest morning catches directly from Fraserganj and Namkhana harbours. Our cooks specialize in classic homestyle Bengali preparations:
- Ilish Bhapa & Sorse Ilish: Tender seasonal Hilsa steamed to perfection in a pungent, golden mustard-poppy seed paste and drizzled with raw mustard oil.
- Golda Chingri Malai Curry: Jumbo freshwater prawns simmered gently in rich coconut milk and aromatic garam masala.
- Crispy Pomfret & Bhetki Fry: Fresh local fish marinated in lemon, ginger, and turmeric, shallow-fried with green chillies.
- Traditional Bengali Veg Thali: Basmati rice, shukto, sona moong dal, seasonal labra, chutney, and crispy papad.
Meals can be enjoyed comfortably in our dining area or delivered straight to your room via our room service team.
