What people say, in short
6 Ballygunge Place is one of the most frequently recommended spots for Bengali food in Kolkata, with many people naming it among the city's best for a thali or buffet experience, and one calling it a mid-priced cult favourite. Commenters single out dishes like kosha mangsho, fish fry and daab chingri, and one regular says it has never disappointed across many visits. The caveats are real though: several diners find it overrated or overpriced, a few say the food quality has declined, one recent visitor found the food mediocre, and another says it is only good if you are lucky on the day.
