Kolkata, Apr 10 (IBNS): It is that time of the year when Calcuttans are gearing up to welcome the Bengali New Year and The Westin Kolkata Rajarhat is all set to celebrate Poila Boisakh in total 'bangaliana' style, on April 14 and 15.

'Alpona', floral decorations, and snatches of mellifluous Rabindrasangeet will ease you into the celebratory mood. 

Meanwhile, the team of chefs at Seasonal Tastes have already rustled up a sumptuous spread in their 'hneshel' (Bengali for home kitchen) to bring you the best from both 'epaar Bangla' (West Bengal, India) and 'opaar bangla' (Bangladesh).

Signature dishes on the menu include ‘Smoked Hilsa’, ‘Dab Chingri’, ‘Chittol Maach’, ‘Hilsa Pulao’, ‘Kakra Jhol’, ‘Tel Koi’, ‘Dhonepata Boda’, ‘Dhokar Dalna’, ‘Shukto’, ‘Kosha Mangsho’, ‘Shorshe Maach’, ‘Doi Murgi’, ‘Chhanar Dalna’.

Assorted varieties of local fresh fish and crustaceans such as ‘Bhola Bekti’, ‘Parse’, ‘tilapia’, ‘Bekti’, ‘Scampi’, Lobster’, ‘Topse’, ‘Tangra’, will be served, either grilled or fried.

Staples will include ‘Ghee Bhaat’, ‘Govindobhog Pulao’, ‘Radhabollobhi’, ‘Luchi’, ‘Karaishutir Kachori’ etc.

Since Kolkata has a legacy of its own style of Mughlai specialties, these have also been included --  ‘Biryani’, ‘Rezala’, ‘Chaap’.

Don't forget to stop by the Kolkata street food live counter.

Kolkata's date with sweets is a long story. Dig into, what the hotel calls 'the largest dessert buffet in town' where you will get ‘Cham Cham’, ‘Shorbhaja’, ‘Mouchak’, ‘Misti Doi’, ‘Langcha’ to name a few.

Don't forget, The Westin Kolkata is offering 10 per cent discount for group reservation for 10 people and more.

The special buffet will be available on April 14 (Lunch & Dinner) and April 15 (Brunch & Dinner).
