BONG FLAVOURS - Restaurant in Vadodara - Vadodara, India

If you really having a Bengali Food Craving and feeling home sick, then a good option to visit. But don't keep expectations very high. Food taste is good, but the service and ambience needs to be improved. I tried Fish In Mustard curry with rice and fish finger and it was tasty.

Bengali comfort food is there. And there are very very very few options of Bengali food in Vadodara and this one place is saviour. Starters like cutlets or fish fingers are good. Biriyani is decent. Mutton kosha is excellent. Chingri sorshe or vapa is excellent. Staffs are courteous. But in any of the festivals there could be a chaotic atmosphere but otherwise a calm and cool enjoyable ambiance. The staffs are good. Not a fancy decoration but the food is good.

Two of us went dining to the restaurant and orderer a kolkata style chicken biryani half (1 aaloo, 1 egg, 1 chicken) and a fish thali ( potato fry, fish curry, rice, dal, chutney and papad). The order took more than 10 minutes to be served. Once served, there was no one to ask if we would need anything or if we wanted rice or dal (those were unlimited in the thali). The biryani rice was fine, aaloo was tasty enough but the chicken piece is not the kind you serve at a restaurant. You DO NOT serve a chicken breast along with part of the rib in. Similarly, for the fish, it did not feel fresh. For the ones who know, it's the taste you get if the fish has been fried already quite sometime ago and then it has grown cold, waiting to be put into a Kalia or a torkari. It felt bad. Bong flavours has grown to be a good brand, but the attention to quality is missing. There is a general hype for the place due to Bengalis missing Bengali food and finding comfort in whatever is Bengali, but being a Bengali myself, it pains to see a misshapen chicken piece staring out from a Rs250 half plate biryani. They do not mention if the price mentioned in the menu includes GST or not so, our bill, instead of being Rs449, suddenly became Rs472. Not that we could not afford the 5% tax, it's about the principle and here they are lacking! I wish that the owner realizes that humility is a necessity in the service industry and it is the patrons who are ultimately the kings. Anyway, plans to bring other non Bengali foodies to introduce to Bengali cuisine will have to be reconsidered to other places. Good luck to others, hope you have a better experience.

Well, staying away from family and my loving City Kolkata, I always used to crave Bengali food. And finally found the place called Bong Flavours. Cute, clean and calm place for all Bengali food lovers, where you'll get veg and nonveg items separately. We ordered Chicken Kobiraji, Dimer Devil,Luchi and Chicken Kosha and ended up with Mishti doi. All the items are very delicious and yummy,once you take the bite you'll feel yourself in the streets of Bengal's. I must recommend this place to all the Barodians to try. And the Lady boss of the place is cherry on top...the humble and sweet lady who made my Mother's Day so special!!

I have recently shifted to Vadodara and got fortunate to know about Bong Flavours from one of my colleague. It was like rain in the parched desert. Authentic Bengali Food really cooked with passion. We had Dal, Bhat,macher jhol, aloo bhaja, biriyani, fish fingers. The service does take some time coz the food is prepared real time. Nothing is cooked beforehand. I have myself visited the kitchen. All the kitchen staff is Bengali. The owner, Kakoli boudi herself ensures that each and every customer who visits the restaurant relishes what is ordered and leaves the place satisfied just to return again and again. We also regularly order Kathi Rolls in office during Recruitment Drives via Zomato and Swiggy. Thank You Boudi for serving Authentic Bengal in Gujarat.

Good place to have Bengali Cuisine in Vadodara. You can have all regular Bengali food items here. The best part is that they have introduced the thali system for veg meal, egg meal, fish meal and chicken meal. Kolkata style Biriyani and Mutton kosha are delicious.

Finally Bong Flavours is back after a long time with the same authenticity and taste. Anyone craving for bengali food can understand the emotions which drags a bengali to Vadodara from Ahmedabad just to have some nostalgic flavours. We were there for dinner tonight and tried their: Fish finger: Each plate serves 6 fingers. Very flavourful. Although there was a bit heavy coating, the fish taste was prominent. And spices are extremely well balanced. Chicken kobiraji: Kobiraji is a cutlet coated with egg in a unique way. The cutlet was very flavourful same as the finger with a very good amount of chicken inside and the egg was wrapping the same just perfectly. Steamed rice: Nice and fluffy Bengali Muger dal: This might be the best muger dal I have had in a long time. That authentic taste of muger dal we used to love in biye barir lunch. Kurkure aloo bhaja: This aloo baja was definitely another reminder to kajer barir ranna. Aloo badam baja served with a fried sukno lonka. Bhetki posto: This item was suggested by Kakoli boudi and I am so glad she did. The bhetki was fresh and soft. The gravy was absolutely great. The combination of posto, kacha lonka and onion smelled and tasted heavenly. Roshogolla: nice and spongy and the sugar syrup had a very subtle sweetness. All the items available are served is very good quantity and can easily be sufficient for 2 people. At the same time the prices are extremely reasonable. I would like to recommend Bong Flavours to everyone who is craving or want to explore bengali food. Bengali cuisine can offer a large variety of veg options too. There is always something for every pallet.

This review is specifically for the "Veg fried rice" suddenly the quality of Fried rice has been compromised. We have been ordering this item since ages now and can surely feel the difference in taste and appearance of the fried rice. Would request the owner to kindly look into this because sustenance is the key. You don't want to loose your regular customers by tampering with the quality of your food.
