Why Aaheli works for Bhai Phota

Aaheli on Sarat Bose Road gives you all of that: a cosy yet refined atmosphere, menu items that remind you of home, and a thoughtful service that makes the day feel special.

• Festive menus: Curated thalis and seasonal dishes tailored for Bhai Phota.

The flavours to expect

When you come here for Bhai Phota, think comfort, nostalgia and a few celebratory dishes. Aaheli typically stitches together a Bengali thali with rice, dal, seasonal vegetables, classic fish and meat options, plus a sweet finish.

On the Bhai Phota special thali you can expect: rice (sometimes ghee‑rice or jeera rice), a selection of vegetable preparations, a fish dish (possibly ilish or a seasonal preparation), a meat option for non‑vegetarian guests, dal, roti or paratha and traditional desserts like rosogolla, sandesh or mishti doi.

Tips to make the day memorable

1. Book ahead: Festive days are busy — call in advance to reserve a table or request the Bhai Phota thali.
2. Pick the right slot: Lunch and dinner timings at the restaurant are convenient for families — choose what works best for your group.
3. Ask for the special thali: If they have a Bhai Phota spread, request it when you book so the kitchen can prepare.
4. Dress for the occasion: A slightly dressier feel makes the outing more festive.
5. Capture memories: The décor is great for photos — take a sibling portrait to remember the day.
6. Savour the sweets: End the meal with Bengali desserts — they’re the heart of any festive Bengali spread.
