I will ask at the IG, though they are more traditional in what they offer when it comes to BIR. I'm sure they will have some good advise though. Will definitely be booking a table at the Shanaz so I can try thier fish dish. I'll ask Ali if he'll be good enough to sgare the recipe and if I can post it on the forum.

I haven't tried any traditional Bengali food, my only concerns would be  how a western palette might take it. Looking at some of the dishes that  Rick Stein had on his Odysee Adventure, there certainly are some strange  looking recipes. I'm not so shy to to try but the wife on the other  hand, well that's a different matter entirely.

Try mis-pronouncing "Bengali" as "Ben and Jerry"; that should do the trick  ;D

lol that might well do. ;D
