Its cyclic menu will offer more than 70 mouth-watering Bengali delicacies on a rotational basis with few signature dishes

Crowne Plaza New Delhi Okhla is gearing up for a Bengali Food Festival called ‘Bong Connection’ at the hotel’s all-day diner Edesia from October 9 to October 15, 2021.

The highly-anticipated Bengali food festival during Durga Puja will enable the diners to revel in the celebrations as it will feature signature specialities of the award-winning guest chef, Chef Rangonath Mukherjee who has travelled from Kolkata to ensure that quintessential authentic Bengali cuisine is prepared and plated to perfection for this festival. He will team up with Pradipt Sinha, Director of Food and Beverage at Crowne Plaza New Delhi Okhla and his talented team at Edesia to create a special bespoke Bengali Buffet dinner & delivery.

“Durga Pujo festivities are incomplete without quintessential Bengali delicacies. With Pandal celebrations going low key for yet another year, we decided to curate an experiential culinary event that celebrates the culture of Bengal, the essence of Pujo festivities and authentic food in a safe and hygienic environment. A replica of a Pandal in the hues of crimson red and white with beats of Dhak in the background will add to the charm of the festival. We will ensure that you don’t miss the festivities of Durga Pujo during such times,” said Shuvendu Banerjee, General Manager, Crowne Plaza New Delhi Okhla.

The cyclic menu will offer more than 70 mouth-watering Bengali delicacies on a rotational basis with signature dishes to satiate the cravings of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian guests.

“The charm of Bengali cooking lies in its exquisite blend of traditional spices and delicately timed processes of cooking. The delicacies will be prepared with staple ingredients from Bengali households such as mustard paste, panch phoran, gondhoraj lebu, poppy seeds and mustard oil to retain the aromas and nutty flavours of the region. I am sure the Probashi Bengalis will love this spread as much as I enjoyed curating this menu,” said Pradipt Sinha, Director of Food & Beverage, Crowne Plaza New Delhi Okhla.
