Bngalore : Ask a Bengali what they miss most about Pujo back home, and the answer might just be found on a plate. A favourite roll picked up between pandal visits, a chop shared with friends, or the familiar flavours of Kolkata’s street food can bring back cherished memories of the festivities. From quick bites between pandal visits to festive meals shared with family, food has a way of bringing the spirit of Pujo a little closer to home.
This Durga Pujo, Grand Mercure Bangalore celebrates this love for Bengali food with a special pop-up featuring the region’s much-loved street food, traditional favourites and festive delicacies. Guests can savour Kolkata classics such as Fish Kabiraji, Dimer Devil, Ghugni and Jhalmuri, followed by comforting Bengali dishes including Luchi, Basanti Pulao, Macher Jhol and Kosha Mangsho. A selection of traditional sweets, including Mishti Doi, Roshogolla and Payesh, rounds off the experience, with more Bengali favourites completing the spread.
Whether it brings back memories of Pujo celebrations back home or offers a chance to discover the flavours of Bengal, the pop-up invites guests to gather with family and friends over a meal that celebrates the food, traditions and togetherness at the heart of Durga Pujo. At Grand Mercure Bangalore, it is an occasion to share familiar flavours, make new memories and bring a little taste of Bengal to the festivities.
