A piece of history and pride, restored with thoughts, perfection , eye for detail. A place which enables you to imagine a bygone era where Bengal was invaded , ruled by others from far away land and with love and time , it erased that brutality and amalgamated them in it's own hues. Originally the place was known as 'bargee danga' , which means the land of the 'bargees' (the Marathas who spread across the country in order to collect taxes) , it gradually transformed to 'itachuna' which means 'brick and lime'. One such 'bargee' family who stayed back,prowd owns this place. Gradually they mixed in the mainstream. While they did not give up their faith , they accepted the local ways of life. Overall , amazing experience to get out of the #kolkata and enter a piece of #royalty as well as history. #avrilsfoodjournee #kolkatadiaries #payertolayshorshey #experienceoftheday #experiencekolkata #travelgr #travel #bbcgoodlife #natgeo #westbengaltourism #itachunarajbari #wikilikiz #idpdlkzz #kolyinx #letalkinz #helybuzcwqyy #tuesdzyalk #tuelikswert

I don't get to celebrate #mothersday or #fathersday when rest of the world celebrate. I ensure , when we meet we celebrate. That's the reason the first meal outside was at #bhojohorimanna , as that's the kind of meal, what my father would relish the most for lunch. We started with a mock tail called 'ice spice' ( it had mango,orange, guava & spices). Then we had the famous diamond cut "fish fry" Then we moved on to the main course - where we ordered for vegetarian thali which comes with an array of dishes starting from luchi & cholar daal, shukto , 3 more vegetables . For the table we ordered for chitol maacher peti, ilish barishali & chingri machcher malaikari. Needless to say , my parents & I are still in awe of the #ilish or #hilsa . Pieces like that are just #memories forever. The following courses came in a thali - aamshattor chutney ,papad, rasamalai, mishti doi and even a paan !! I was amazed to look at the crowd, just the day after #rakhi. At 4 p.m. The 50 seater place was full, inspite of the heavy #calcutta #monsoon , which has hit the city late. The hospitality & overall experience made me tell my parents that this is the perfect place to celebrate #jamaishoshti or any other #celebration. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #calcuttadiaries #sokolkata #experienceoftheday #experiencekolkata #bhojohorimanna #bhojonroshik #bengalifood #bengalifoodie #satdrinkliit #weekezlk #weekendvibexqxz #letslket #satvibey #aajmeradinh #cullikzxz #rainsoonday28 #aug17aajhai #chazikz

With the prevailing bangalore weather the first thing which we think of in the evening is #streetfood . Isn't it ? That too if you can get that in a place like #jwkitchen where chefs from all over India like #pune #kolkata #madurai #indore #rajasthan #lucknow have been flown down to bring you the best in one premises. I bet once you reach the place one or two hours isn't enough. Priced at INR 2050+ taxes ,this festival is on till 18 Aug. This Independence day or Rakhi , this is a great opportunity to have a belching moment on kathi rolls , paanipuri, kandha bhajji, meen koli vada , choley kulchey .... And all that you can think of ... #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #bangalore #foodtalkindia❤️ #onlyinbangalore #sobangalore #celebratingbangalore #streetfoodfestival

An event I look forward to every month #salonwitshree . This was the 2nd session. A session where real women talk of things in hand, their ecosystem , how they gathered their thoughts - turned it into deeds and inspire many more. The session is open to women & men, to listen, to share, to connect. The following session is on 21st September . I am so looking forward to it. #avrilsfoodjournee #networking #networkingevent #onlyinbangalore #experienceoftheday #sobangalore #whitefieldliyerarysociety #vrbengaluru #happeningbangalore #communitybuilding #stories #makeliitdrinks #bequickqxz #abaagayatera #letssposst

As #mamagato celebrates 5 years in #bangalore . Glimpses from an amazing evening curated by #gourmetpassport .

Glimpses from the launch of #ocho . An amazing #rum which has been aged under the carribean sun , the warm notes of wood, apricot , nutmeg & butterscotch makes it irresistible ! The band was amazing @kroonerscollective Thanks @dhempe for extending the invite . @avinashkapoli you were the perfect host . The empanadas # & greenmole wer amazing too. The empanadas reminded of a home chef I ate from during my visit to the #intrepid museum #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #BacardiRumRoom #bacardiocho #Rumlover #bangalore #happeningbangalore #sobangalore #lbbbangalore #launchpad #launchnight #partynights #lamexcuze #liketuxqz #jaihindind #gloomyrainsmagic #sixaugustlke #rainfunweeky #tueqrain #abaagaya6aug

If you are in Bangalore or visit bangalore , visit this place to see how bangalore eats. How the locals love their biriyani , mutton, chilli chicken etc. This was not my first visit , but with office colleagues for the first time. They were amazed that so many people were sitting n eating , while equal number of people , waited patiently for their turn. The place has been here for years I shall say the #militaryhotels are a must try for all non vegetarian food lovers , to experience a different way of eating. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #explorebangalore #experienceoftheday #foodporn #foodielife #sobangalore #lbbbangalore #foodwalkindia #exploreindia #onlyinbangalore #foodstagram #foodtalkindia #huffposttaste #bangalorefoodiesclub #bangalorediaries #bangalorebiriyaniclub #likesforaug2 #foodrainz #birthdayqblessingz #FridaykaDhamaal #temptinfrydaz #likz4every #gmzui

It's already 31st of July . Can't believe it's already a month since I am back in Bangalore !!! In this one month I have had some wonderful meals. I am thankful and blessed. It will be not just if I don't mention about this wonderful experience and meal which I had in #sriracha . Among all other dishes the #somtam and the #khmerbarbecue are two things I cannot forget. The later is a Combodian way of barbequing meat & vegetables , live on charcoal and filled with soup. The entire process was worth watching . This is a meal I shall go back to this place, again and again. I am waiting to take my parents there. It's such a flavourful yet simple dish that I am sure anyone will fall in love 💙❤️ To give it a local touch , even the appartus and bowls in which it is served has been sourced from #cambodia #avrilsfoodjournee #combodianfood #bangalore #bangalorefoodscenes #bangalorefoodies #bangalorefoodiesclub #asianfood #experienceoftheday #exploreindia #explorebangalore #foodporn #foodielife #lifeinbangalore #aaj31hai #vedyhst #votezdayz #julyisqoverx #ultapultakyu #closetonelk #thefoodbellyy

Recently during my trip to #wayanad , I saw these shoes and it reminded me of a few articles I had read during my free time in the #usa . The articles spoke about #japanese people who commit suicide often leave their shoes behind. There are several possible theories behind this behavior , like - To indicate that the death was a suicide So as not to carry dirt from this world to the next Because the #samurai did so TV cliches But come what may , I always wonder , it must be such a dire state which drives a person to take this extreme state. Why this thought ? #bangaloreans or people from #karnataka will understand. I really did not know , the pic taken 10 days back can relate to something soon. It's sad. He changed the way we look at #cafes #ccd P.S. this is not a food or travel post ! #avrilsfoodjournee #pensiveme #thoughtoftheday #staysafe #monpctl #rainzgod #cafecoffeeday #thoughtoftheday

I am just back from the 2nd Anniversary bash of #redrhino . A not so #beer person will also fall in love with the #brews here. I tasted 6 beer on the tap and continued with the smoked one. They are absolutely different from the bottled, bitter ones our grandfathers or fathers had ( no offense to any bottled beer) ... Craft beers are an #art in their own ways. Kudos to all those who are continuously working on making them evolve and titillate our taste buds. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #beerstagram #bangalorefoodscenes #bangalorebrewery #microbrewery #bangalorebreweryscenes #whatshotinbangalore #whatsbrewing #experienceoftheday #foodporn #phonephotography #bbcgoodfood #foodwalkindia #barsatrez #monzbuzz #mndyblgod #bactiveorleave #lashxzy #hackerlelo #abhogaya29 #shityymon #dntmisusez

A visit to #nh8 a couple of weeks ago ,with cousins ! Reminded me of our visit to #chokhidhani in #jaipur I have seen this place for ages but finally we stepped in recently and we loved it. We went for the thali and it was served with the warmth that is commensurate with the "aaobhagat" that only #rajasthan displays . #avrilsfoodjournee #bangalorefoodscenes #rajasthanifood #exploreindia #regionalfood #indiancuisine #experienceoftheday #foodielife #sobangalore #lbbbangalore #indiranagar #vegetarianfood #laughzxy #satfnme #nopntez #tazsatiz #flxslx #27haiaaj #khaomazaakaro #dnttextuslater

A bengalee meal to finally complete the home-coming series . This was one of the many plates I kept bringing and finishing as part of the #verymachbangali food festival which concludes tomorrow. One of the attraction of the season was definitely #ilish or #hilsafestival #avrilsfoodjournee #bangalorefoodscenes #bengalifoodfestival2019 #bengalifood #foodforthought #foodfood #foodphotography #foodlover #foodnirvana #soulfood #sobangalore #magicpinbangalore #lbbbangalore #dryfryfel #netihst #kulfidayz #thatuniverseguy #26aajhai #khanakhaomajjakaro #closetlke20 #airelviewz #fryqyayy

Some places just evoke emotions. #babachatkora will be one of those places. I had heard of this place a lot , so one evening while walking through Koramangla , I just couldn't help going in. A 38-40 seater place but where couples , families , friends can happily share their meal. I ordered their BC kulcha (which is served with choley and chutney .I also ordered a shikanji. I have to go back to this place for their soya chaaps. The kulchas will remind you of parathewali gali , Delhi. Another aspect I must mention is the person who took our orders and served us , the level of association, ownership and advisory level maturity he showed , wow'd me. #avrilsfoodjournee #bangalore #foodblogger #foodfood #foodscenes #foodielife #koramangala #northindianfood #bangalorefoodiesclub #explorebangalore #sobangalore #lbbbangalore #magicpinbangalore #foodtalkindia #dragonworkshashtagchorhai #thurzthrowzq #anwsghst #midwkble

A sudden plan, immediate inclusion and perfect break. If you want to have a dialogue with nature or listen to your inner workings , this place is a perfect retreat, veiled by verdure, mountains and cloud on all sides . Additional pleasure was the rain ... incessant rain! #avrilsfoodjournee #avrillovestotravel #payertolayshorshey #keraladiaries🌴 #keralaspecialities #wayanad #discover_earth #discoverindia #travelgr #traveller #travelindia #travelgram #travellingthroughtheworld #nayadinnayakhana #humpdayvibesq #sgcnthstg #grizlylik #uniquexzq #bontimealways #ab24hibaari

I am back in wayanad , after 9 years. The first place in Kerala where @rajarshee_kar and I first stepped together was #wayanad. Coincidentally , after I am back from #dwitwiyaardho , this is the first place out of Bangalore . In bengalee we say 'karur poush maash , karor sharbonash' , not literally , but if I am to translate the same in English , I would like to say - someones loss can be an opportunity for someone else. This trip , is that kinda' situation for me. An opportunity for me out of the blue and sudden plans are always better. Thanks @sayonighosh ... Now I am going to tag along in most of your trips (If you take me) !! #avrilsfoodjournee #keraladiaries🌴 #keralagram #exploreindia #exploreeverything #incredibleindia #incredibleindiaofficial #travelgr #travelindia #travelblogger #skygazer #cloudgazing #explorekerala #lonelyplanet #wayanad
