The Lalit Great Eastern Kolkata is currently hosting an Ilish Parbon festival at its Alfresco restaurant, offering a culinary journey unlike any other. The menu, created by the kitchen team, showcases a blend of traditional and contemporary hilsa dishes.
The festival features signature hilsa delicacies, such as Ilish bhapa with Gobindobhog bhaat and Ilish bhuna. For those seeking a more adventurous culinary experience, contemporary dishes like Smoked boneless ilish with arugula and asparagus are also available.
